Welcome to the Outdoors Inn. Relax and enjoy real island living in the casual, atmosphere of our eclectic 1890's home. The interior is mostly tongue and groove juniper on the walls and ceiling.  We enjoy restoring our home and complete a new project every year.  We offer free bicycles and a wide range of activities at our outfitters store located 1 block from the Inn in the historic downtown Manteo waterfront area.

Located in the historic section of downtown Manteo, this 2-bedroom Inn offers you private baths, queen size beds, central heat & air conditioning, refrigerator and television in room, hair dryers & am-fm radio alarm clock.  We also have a vcr and dvd player in each room and have a large selection of movies to watch.  We offer fresh coffee & a full hot, home-made breakfast.  A typical breakfast includes; eggs in some form, sausage or bacon, potatoes, grits or pancakes, baked goods, fruit, yogurt, homemade granola, breads, juice, coffee or tea.   We serve breakfast buffet style so you can eat anywhere from 7:30am - 9:30am.  It's not an all you can eat buffet but there is always plenty for all but the most serious big eaters.  We are within walking distance of the many shops and sites of the historic area of downtown Manteo.  You may wish to ride our bicycles to the various parks and aquariums on Roanoke Island. Plus we are only a five minute drive to the beach.

Your Hosts

Your Innkeepers, Matt and Pam Landrum  enjoy sharing their home with guests who prefer a more personal touch and the camaraderie of the small Bed & Breakfast experience .  We have three children who are all grown.  You might glimpse them occasionally during the summer months.

Matt was boat builder & marine electrician for sport fishing yachts for years.  He also restores old boats when he's not building new ones.  We have been restoring our home for the last several years and you can see Matt & Pam's handiwork throughout the house.  Matt now runs our outfitters store "The Outdoors Outfitters" with Pam and their children.   Your hosts are avid water sports enthusiasts. Matt & Pam are both boat Captains as well as Scuba Dive Instructors.  In addition to running the B & B, Pam teaches scuba diving, kayaking and offers kayak tours.  Pam is also the author of a kayak guide; A Guide to Sea Kayaking in NC.  If you are interested in kayaking, you can take a Kayak Tour or lesson or purchase the book by clicking the picture:

New for 2010 is the opening of our new outfitters store "The Outdoors Outfitters".  We are located just 2 blocks from the Inn in the waterfront district of Manteo.  If we're not at the Inn were most likely at the store.  Stop by and see it. 

THE OUTDOORS OUTFITTERS, 210 Budleigh Street, Manteo, NC  27954

Pam and Matt know the Outer Banks inside and out. Pam used to be a Naturalist with the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Matt grew up on Hatteras Island where his family operated several restaurants.  He has run his own charter fishing boat for years and now builds them.

We have 2 yellow labs, 1 older mixed dog and 1 black cat.  We do not allow them into the B & B.  The cat comes and goes and is very people friendly.  Ignore him if you don't like cats.  The dogs live in their own section of the yard and have their own house.  If you are a dog lover, you are welcome to visit and play with them.  Just ask us to introduce you to them first.

About our pets. 

We love pets and have several, however you won't see them in the guest areas of the B & B. We don't allow guests to bring their pets since too many people have allergies.  The beach in the summer is not the best place for your pet.  It's hot, most beaches don't allow pets in the summer, there are fleas, you can't leave them in the car when you go shopping, sightseeing or eating.  There are several kennels locally that do board pets.  We would be glad to recommend one.
