Property Description
Shallowbag Bay 505, "Sounds-Fishy", is a 3 bedroom 2 and a half bath condo located in the premier marina waterfront community of Shallowbag Bay Club on Roanoke Island in Manteo, NC offering water front and marina views. The condo unit is on the top floor, one level, with elevator access and is one of the more ideally located condos offering the best all-around views. The rear deck overlooks the waterfront sound, Historic Manteo, and pans east across the sound to Jockeys Ridge. The front deck features a large covered porch and deck overlooking the marina. We love the top floor as it allows the best views, breezes, sunrises and sunsets.
The condo is renovated with a bright, cozy, beachy feel. It is tastefully decorated with fun beach themed cheerful décor. The living room has a couch, love seat, chair and a large flat screen Smart TV with DIRECTV service. Sliding glass doors bring you outside to a deck accessible from the master suite as well. There are covered and open sections with 6 bar height chairs, 2 pub tables and 2 Adirondack chairs with a small table. Perfect for morning sun or afternoon shade. The back deck also has 4 bar height chairs and a pub table, perfect for sipping a drink and watching the sunset.
The fully stocked kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a kitchen bar area with 4 bar stools overlooking the open floor plan combining the living room, dining room and kitchen into one open space. The dining room has a large table that seats 6.
The master suite has a king size bed, private attached full bath with over sized shower, flat screen TV, dresser and usable closet. Sliding glass doors open to outside deck with marina, sound and marsh views.
Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed, with attached full bath shared with Bedroom 3. Bedroom 3 has 2 twin size beds. The bedrooms share the attached full bath with tub/shower. Both have flat screen TV, dressers, nightstands, and usable closets. Both have sliding glass doors that open to an outside deck with sound front views, perfect for enjoying the evening sunset.
If you need a minute to yourself there is a bright sunroom with beautiful views of the sound. You can close the door and have a quiet place to enjoy your morning coffee or get a little work done at a desk, in peaceful surroundings.
The famous Outer Banks beaches, attractions and an endless supply of restaurants options are in close proximity, just a short car ride from our location. The many public beach accesses, most with free parking allow the convenience of parking close to the beach. Many beaches with bathrooms and bath houses. We like using OBXbeachaccess .com for exact locations and amenities at each access.
Outer Banks is also famous for their fishing and is a fisherman's paradise. There are many opportunities for in-shore, offshore or pier fishing. This area of the Outer Banks offers world class fleets of charter boat opportunities. Launching points for charter fishing include marinas in Wanchese and Pirates Cove Marina in Manteo, the Oregon Inlet Fishing Center, and Hatteras Inlet. Also, if you bring your boat, (up to 21ft.), or trailer, parking and day dockage is available (must register in advance, no extra fee, ask for details). Larger boat dockage is available through the marina.
We love that the restaurants, shopping, waterfront and attractions of downtown Manteo which are located minutes away and are accessible by car, bike or a short walk. Many an afternoon or evening can be spent wandering the downtown areas boutiques, bookstore and gift shops. The area is rich in attractions and local history.
Not to be missed is the Saturday farmers market (mid-May through mid-Sept 17, 9am-1pm), in downtown Manteo on the waterfront, at George Washington Creef Park. Local art, fresh produce and baked goods are available to name a few.
For coffee lovers, please visit our local coffee shops. The Front Porch Cafe (0.3 miles) and Charis Coffee Company both (1 mile) for your convenience. There is a grocery store, CVS, ABC store, and many other restaurants and shopping all within a few minutes of the condo.
Manteo is rich in attractions, as we are located so close to some of our favorites like the NC Aquarium, Roanoke Island Festival Park, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Elizabethan Gardens, and the Lost Colony Outdoor Drama to name a few and all here on Roanoke Island.

Lovely views! Spacious. Lots of light. Fantastic view of New Year's Eve fireworks from back deck. Owners very responsive to questions. Easy lock and nice elevator. Great internet access. So many opportunities for sightseeing. Don't go to Hatteras for the next year and a half, though. All paint has been removed from the lighthouse, and it is enshrouded in scaffolding. A 20 million dollar renovation is going on. Stripers restaurant, on site, was excellent. Trio was great for New Year's Eve dinner.

The Ultimate Getaway Condo
We spent a great 3 day getaway at “Sounds-Fishy”. Everything was just as described. The owners provided us with timely updates and reminders during our stay. The information they provided regarding restaurants and activities was very handy. One of the restaurants on the list was O’Neils in Wanchese, which I highly recommend if you are looking for good, local seafood. You can’t go wrong if you book this location. When I get back to this area again this will be my first choice. Thank you Robert and Lisa for being such great hosts.

Outer Banks Adventure
Wonderful property in a GREAT location. Thoughtfully decorated and with nice touches. The property is one that multiple generations can enjoy, including those with mobility challenges (elevator and walk-in shower option).
You have nice views and balconies; the “office” area is particularly nice. The beds are very comfortable and there is a nice flow to the property.
The information the owners shared about their favorite places was very helpful. We used several of their recommendations which were “spot on.” They also were very communicative and provided timely information regarding weather projections and potential impacts.
My kids (13,11,10,7) had a blast; enjoying the beach, state park/Wright monument, laser tag, go-carting, and the outlets.
This is in a great location and I HIGHLY recommend this property! It was a widely popular vacation with my family-thanks!

Great host, views and clean!!
We loved our stay at this condo. The decor and views were amazing. We felt right at home. The condo was very spacious and was perfect for our family of 5. The host went above and beyond and shared their local favorites from restaurants, activities, ice cream shops etc. and described them all. Every restaurant we ate at was a recommendation by them and we were not disappointed one time. Thank you for sharing your home with us! Ps mama Kwan’s fish tacos is a must have when visiting!

Absolutely perfect!
From the moment we booked, until the moment we checked out, we had an exceptional experience. The hosts offered a list of places to eat and things to do beforehand, simplifying vacation planning. We used many of their recommendations, and loved each of them. The property was very disability friendly, being all on one floor, with an elevator that went right from the parking spot to the front door. The rental was clean, well maintained, and offered incredible views, comfortable beds, and all the amenities we needed. The surrounding area was also wonderful! Downtown Manteo was darling, with lots of quaint shops and places to eat and benches to stop and take it all in. We'll definitely be back.
