ince 1937, island folks have welcomed visitors into their homes. In that tradition, the Roanoke Island Inn welcomes you. Originally a small, simple island house, it was built for the current innkeeper's great- great- grandmother in the 1860s. The house was enlarged soon after the turn of the century and has continued to grow with each generation. n its present incarnation, THE ROANOAKE offers its guests the privacy of outside entrances, the comfort of a lobby and the indulgence of a well-stocked innkeeper's pantry. A second floor porch overlooks the Roanoke Island Marshes Lighthouse and Manteo's acclaimed Waterfront where visitors can stroll along the boardwalk to shops, restaurants, charter boats, and the movie theater — all the quaintness and friendliness that a small town can offer. Bikes are by the picket fence for exploring. And the beaches, lighthouses, and sun-filled activities of the Outer Banks are just across the causeway. Perhaps you'd rather sit by the Koi pond with a good book. After all, it's your vacation.
