Great location and fair rate

Came to OBX for birding, staying in this place in Manteo was the right move. Quiet town and close to most major bird sites in the area. This place was really nice; quiet area, great location, and even the grounds themselves were nice. Easy process for checking in and out too. Overall great time.

A hidden oasis in Manteo, NC

I had a wonderful time staying here with my friend. We were perfectly located in walking distance of downtown Manteo and got to enjoy all this town had to offer. The room was so clean an inviting. The area is quiet. I locked myself out once and the host took care of it quickly. Already recommended it to friends.

Exactly as pictured! Good/ fast communication and I LOVED that it’s a short walk to shopping / restaurants and a great rum bar across the street. Definitely recommend this stay for a quiet stay that’s a short drive to the busy areas.

Manteo Downtown

We were in town for the bluegrass festival in Manteo. This location is great for accessing downtown. The space is clean and very comfortable, with ample room for sitting, a good-sized bathroom, a nice-sized refrigerator, and a microwave. I will keep this in mind for future stays in Manteo.

Charming Stay

We loved staying here. The location was perfect. We went to a concert at Roanoke Island Festival Park and it was an easy convenient walk there. Walkable to downtown where there are shops and restaurants. There is a great rum distillery close by. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and allowed for a good nights sleep. Highly recommend.

Nice Studio Apartment In Manteo

The Uptowner was spotless clean and well appointed. Note that the owner not only adds a cleaning fee, which is understood, but also a host fee to the rental. Despite the added fee, the Uptowner is a very nice place and a fair value.

Quiet Get-Away

The property was as advertised and more. Very clean and well maintained efficiency. Great location. Beautiful and well maintained plantings in the court yard area of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We travel to the Outer Banks often and have fallen in love with the area and especially Manteo. Probably one of our best and most relaxing stays. Communication with the host was excellent. We plan on keeping this property on our hope-to-revisit-soon list!

Extended weekend

The Studio room location is a 4-5 block walk to Queen st., where art studios, shops and restaurants are located. Convenient on- street parking is handy, with just a short drive to the barrier island. The weather wasn't conducive for us to enjoy the private back yard, maybe next time.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed in the upstairs suite, it was roomy and comfortable. I rated good instead of excellent because in pics and advertising it appears to show a kitchenette, but that's not the case. There's only a small table and awkwardly organized dishes that have to be washed in the bathroom sink and the coffee maker is also in the bathroom. Property is sweet but would not stay there again.

Perfect Accommodations

The Uptowner Studio checked every box for our getaway requirements. If you don't want a busy hotel or a large 2-3 bedroom condo, this Manteo location is ideal. Knowing we'd be out most of the day to enjoy the Outer Banks, a full kitchen and extra rooms weren't needed. What a pleasure to come back to a safe and cozy retreat. We enjoyed the lovely, garden scenery, peaceful and private setting, and convenience to walk to The Front Porch Cafe for breakfast. Cleanliness is vital to where we stay and Uptowner Studio was super clean and tidy with all necessary, comfortable extras. We are already planning future visits. Thank you to the Uptowner Hosts for providing a lovely option in the Outer Banks area.
