WELCOME TO THE MANTEO HOUSE
Thank you for visiting our site; we look forward to meeting you soon! The Manteo House is a privately owned property along Manteo’s waterfront on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The current owner is a Manteo native with a passion for history and preservation who is equally excited to share the elegance and serenity this property has to offer.
The location is ideal for those who enjoy “living” in Manteo, if only for a few days. Park onsite and leave your car for later. The property is nestled across from the picturesque Shallowbag Bay boardwalk. You’ll find it easy to lose yourself and the day while enjoying a stroll along the miles of available docks, shops, and walkways throughout town.
Manteo is a walking town steeped in history, shops, restaurants, and generational locals who are excited to share stories and tips for your visit. Explore your inner Lost Colony journey or pirate excursion, or ignite that inventor spirit of Wright Brother legend. The Manteo House is your hub for it all.

The Manteo House, known to locals as the Evans Family Homeplace, is comprised of original 1871 components such as wood flooring, doors, window facings, transoms, and stairwell, and its newer addition showcases custom Honduran mahogany throughout the extended wings. As you enter the house, whether from the front gate or wandering up from the bayfront, you’ll enter the main foyer.
Let your eyes wander for a moment as this area serves as the “hinge” of the house, combining the old materials and style with a more modern feel. In the foyer, you’ll notice the unique marble flooring outlined with imported mahogany baseboard and ceiling trim. Notice the tiger oak entryway hutch, as this is a family heirloom piece from the mid-1800s.
The Manteo House and detached apartment offer 6000sqft of interior space, including seven bedrooms, a den, a parlour, Formal dining, a breakfast nook, a 2nd-floor lounge area, four covered porches (one screened), all situated on an acre, bordered with a white picket fence. The expansive gourmet kitchen is being reserved for events or whole-house rental engagements.
