Roanoke Island Inn — Island Hospitality Since 1937

About Roanoke Island Inn

Since 1937, island folks have welcomed guests into their homes, and Roanoke Island Inn carries that tradition forward. The property began as a modest island house constructed for the current innkeeper's great- great- grandmother in the 1860s. Soon after the turn of the century, the house was expanded, and every generation since has added to its story.

Today, THE ROANOKE combines private outside entrances with a comfortable lobby and a well-stocked innkeeper's pantry. From the second floor porch, guests can look toward the Roanoke Island Marshes Lighthouse and Manteo's acclaimed Waterfront. The boardwalk leads to shops, restaurants, charter boats, and the movie theater, bringing the quaintness and friendliness of a small town close at hand.

Bikes wait by the picket fence for island exploration. Across the causeway, guests can reach the beaches, lighthouses, and sun-filled activities of the Outer Banks. For a quieter pause, the Koi pond offers a place to sit with a good book. This is your vacation.
