ザ ブルス ハウス イン ウォーターフロント スイーツ

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.

I’m always on the lookout for non-corporate, privately-owned hotels—especially ones that do things with a little panash and good taste. For this particular trip I was looking for a place where we could spend time in natural areas, do some birdwatching and come back to lux accommodations—not alway an easy combo to pull off! But Burrus House Inn on the Isle of Manteo pinged it perfectly!!! During the day we were able to visit several top-notch birding hot-spots and in the evening we came back to the relaxed comfort and elegance of the Burrus House. The location of the Inn, itself is even situated for some good birdwatching. Right from our own room we had “front-row seats” to watch a young Osprey couple start courtship and nesting in these last days of February. On the first morning we were served breakfast in our room by the innkeeper who was so gracious to us our entire stay. She couldn’t do enough to make our time here comfortable and lovely.

My second time here. They remembered me and gave me a warm welcome. My suite was beautiful and comfortable with two private balconies and a little kitchen. Vickie and Donna went overboard to help me with a tech problem. Plenty of parking, breakfast not much but there’s a Southern grill next door always crowded with locals. See the pics for the view from my room and a watercolor I painted of it.
