The Pearl Hotel — Hotel in Manteo

If I could give 20 stars, I would. My fiance and I were traveling along the outer banks and got into a pickle where we didn’t have a room. We were scrambling to find somewhere in Manteo and stumbled across The Pearl around 8pm. My fiance spoke to Lisa and she was amazing - she made accommodations so quickly and had her front desk person available to help us within minutes. The front desk lady was PRECIOUS. These ladies / staff members are incredible. Filled with so much love and hospitality. Their care is out of a genuine love for people and you can tell. The place was STUNNING. The rooms, the hallways, the decor. When you walk in, it immediately feels perfect. The details are so nice that you truly want to take the best care of it because you can tell how much care was put into it. It’s that good! The rooftop area was STUNNING. We went up there for a late dinner in the evening and it was so peaceful and beautiful views. The location couldn’t be more perfect - close to everything yet peaceful and quaint. We splurged a little for a place we spent around 12 hours at and slept 7 of those but we don’t regret a single penny. These are the type of people you want to support. This is the type of place you want to stay. We have a little bit of a social media following and have sent so many people their way (without them knowing) for the sole purpose of how enjoyable our stay was. We have been in discussion about the idea of getting married on the rooftop! We have been through a lot recently and my father suddenly passed and this was truly a place of genuine healing and peace - a breath of fresh air! My faith in Jesus is very important to me, as well and the tiny details of so much love from Him through them was incredible. Truly genuine people who care for all of us! You couldn’t ask for a better place to support. I wish we had more time there and we cannot wait to come back! I promise you - no matter who you are, you won’t regret staying here....

We booked The Pearl Hotel at the very last minute and couldn’t have been luckier. Lisa (the manager) and Margret handled our booking like old friends — calm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. They made sure we got a lovely room and even accommodated a few special requests without missing a beat. Dianne greeted us with a warm smile and went out of her way to make our stay easy and comfortable. Nancy, the housekeeper, kept our room spotless and added thoughtful touches that made it feel like home.

The hotel itself feels sophisticated and boutique — elegant touches, immaculate rooms, and a relaxed, classy atmosphere that made us feel pampered rather than overwhelmed. Small details (fresh baked goods and coffee in the lobby, plush towels, helpful local tips from staff) turned a hurried trip into a really memorable stay. Everything is walkable in the area, and Manteo is a beautiful, safe place to explore.

Thanks to Lisa, Margret, Dianne, and Nancy for making everything so effortless and welcoming. We’ll...

Your first step into The Pearl Boutique Hotel will remind you of an elegant Paris hotel. Every unique detail has been thought through from checking in at the desk, walking down the beautiful tiled corridor, and on to your stunning room (key entry fabulous!). This place does not disappoint. Lisa was amazing and so kind to get us a room, at the last minute I must add, due to unfortunate circumstances. If you love detail, cleanliness, and beautiful rooms and bathrooms, this is the place you will want to be. I will always, undoubtedly, come here again. Lisa and Diane-I enjoyed our conversations as well! 11/10! Owners: you have found two gems that are...
