Perfect! We loved our stay. Very clean and homey feeling. Beds were very comfortable. Loved the walk to the sound. Nestled away for quietness and privacy. Location was great. Host was wonderful and very quick to communicate when I add questions. We were aware of the steps but we were determined to stay there. Definitely stay here again. However, suggestion for us, pack lighter or replace steps with a ramp to pull luggage. Ha! It was still worth staying at this charming cottage! Thank you for a wonderful memory at Roanoke Island.

An absolutely beautiful cottage. Manteo is the best place to stay to explore all parts of outer banks. Already planning return trip!

Cottage on the Hill was a great place to say! The sound behind the cottage was beautiful and well worth the walk. They had chairs for us to use as well down and the house came with plenty of toilets items, cookware, etc. and the decor gave it that homey and beach feel. The owner June is very sweet and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for any families wanting to get away from the big tourists areas!!

We have been visiting the outer banks for the last 9 years. We typically stay ocean front in Avon. We wanted to try something different this year. I’m so glad we did. The cottage on the hill was perfect for my family of 5. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the decks in the morning. The private beach is attached to banana island, we basically had the island to ourselves during the week, however the weekends were very busy. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards and fishing immensely. June was very sweet and quick to answer any questions. Thanks for sharing your amazing home with us!

We took our two grandchildren, ages 6 & 8 for a getaway to make special memories. The cottage was so perfect for us. It was clean, well- appointed and beautifully decorated. The children loved the sound. They fished and caught crabs and we explored the extended sandbar that was just a short walk away. Getting to and from the sound was an adventure for them as you take a winding path through the woods, up and down stairs and across short boardwalks. They giggled the whole time. The cottage was very close to activities. We visited the aquarium, Festival Park and The Lost Colony which was exceptional and beyond our expectations. Even if we had not left the property, it was perfect enough to entertain the children. The front deck had the outdoor shower which they found so entertaining and the back porch made you feel like you were up in the trees. Beautiful wildlife. We are used to taking them to the beach where you have to hold their hands and stay close because of the waves. At the sound, they were free to splash, play, dig, fish, and romp to their hearts delight and we could supervise from our chairs. We had they whole section of beach area to ourselves. The evening sunsets were spectacular and we took so many pictures for them to keep forever. Thank you to Miss June, the owner, for your hospitality and kindness. The Cottage on the Hill is a perfect place to make memories.

This was a lovely place to stay! Having the little beach on the Sound was great for our baby's first beach experience. It was a short walk through the woods with some stairs, but it was worth it to have our own little space without any waves. June was helpful.
