The Burrus House Inn Waterfront Suites

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend here! We were welcomed by Vickie she was so knowledgeable of the Manteo area. Our views were amazing from our balcony! We enjoyed the bird watching and boats sailing by on the sound. Such a beautiful place! Our suite had everything we needed and we loved the bathroom. This was the perfect place to celebrate our first anniversary!

My wife and I live in Kill Devil Hills but had a staycation at the Burrus House in Manteo for my birthday. The accommodations, location, and hospitality were absolutely perfect. We had a great time relaxing and visiting Manteo and Wanchese.

Beautiful location, great inn, and wonderful staff! We stayed 3 nights in Jack's Bugalow and could not have had a nicer room or better time. Great location as it is close to downtown Manteo but only 15 minutes from beach! Right on the sound so you can kayak the sound and bicycle (they have both available). Great happy hour, good breakfast offerings, and Donna-Anne was great with restaurant recommendations! Great place for a few days or a week.

The most perfect place for a getaway! I needed a breather and Burrus House Inn was above my expectations. The place is so beautiful and the staff was wonderful! Great location to walk to downtown. I would highly recommend this cute retreat. Will definitely be back!

If you're on the fence about staying at the Burrus House, definitely make it a priority!! We visited the Outer Banks and stayed here for a more small-town feel. It was absolutely perfect! We stayed in the Reba Irene room and LOVED the private balcony (actually two of them) and the views. It was just the right size with plenty of storage, a large shower with two showerheads and a whirlpool tub with a view. It's a quick drive from here to Nags Head and other OBX towns, but Manteo was super quiet and peaceful.

Manteo and the Burrus House was the first stop on a month long road trip. The weather when we arrived at the Outer Banks was not ideal but our stay at the Burrus House certainly helped to make up for the weather. The "house" is just that--a large beach house made up of a variety of rooms, a welcoming gathering space complete with a fireplace along with a breakfast area---as the Inn offers a nice "continental" breakfast that does offer speciality made warm items... The rooms are spacious as there is a bathroom, a separate main sleeping area with fireplace (gas logs) as well as a private sitting area with access to a semi private deck, tv, small kitchenette that has a mini fridge, microwave, sink, glasses, cutlery... Perfect for keeping some wine, cheese, fruit, etc. We did have a very nice cheese plate and bottle of wine waiting that I had included in our reservation. Manteo sits back from the Outer Banks proper, a separate island. The Burrus House sits on the water (bay) and has lovely grounds with fire pit and water access (not a beach but can utilize kayaks) ---bikes are included if you'd like to ride to explore the town of Manteo which is just a short ride on a level surface. We stayed for 2 nights which was enough to whet our whistle as we plan on returning in the fall for a week's time. The hostesses were awesome---helpful with dinner recommendations etc. The Burrus House is a great place to stay in order to explore the area. The Elizabethan Gardens are a must! The location is close to great restaurants as well as access to the beaches of the OBX.
