Manteo Vacation Rentals

Visit the Shores of America’s Beginnings at Roanoke Island Festival Park while you are enjoying your vacation rental property with your family! In 1584, 23 years before the Jamestown settlement, the dream of an English-speaking nation began on the shores of Roanoke Island. This small island was home to the first temporary English settlements in the New World, sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh during the years 1584 to 1587. Roanoke Island Festival Park, a 25-acre island across from the Manteo waterfront, where history comes alive, the “natives” are friendly, art and nature surround you, and there’s big fun for everyone--rain or shine--year round. On Elizabeth II, a representative 16th-century sailing ship, you’ll meet sailors like those who sailed across the Atlantic in 1585. Dressed in period garments and speaking Elizabethan dialect, these interpreters bring the history of the voyages to life.

For the ninth consecutive season, the students, professional alumni, and faculty from the North Carolina School of the Arts will wow audiences with a myriad of musical, theatrical and dance performances, and screenings of films from students and from NCSA Moving Image Archives.
