The Historic Austin House in Downtown Manteo
Have fun with family, friends, or co-workers at this beautifully restored, stylish, craftsman home in Manteo! Located within the historic district of Manteo, the Austin House is newly remodeled within walking distance to the waterfront, festival park, shopping and eating. Bead-board walls, tile and marble bathrooms, to the handsomely designed trim work...everything has been restored in the likeness of a true 1940s Outer Banks design!

About the host
Hosted by Gia Nicole Palacorolla
HELLO There! I moved to the OBX from Ellicott City, MD in 2013. I studied Human Nutrition, Foods & Exercise with an emphasis in Exercise & Health Promotion at Virginia Tech & put that knowledge to work on a daily basis as a Pilates Instructor at the only classical Pilates Studio in the OBX, The Presidio of Pilates! In addition to my education, my love for business & entrepreneurial spirit led me to Hosting! I CoHost multiple spaces in locations throughout the United States and as a Professional Referrer of hosting I take great joy in teaching folks how to start their own business hosting by themselves or with assistance. I have taught a course at the local church - The Path To Financial Freedom! I LOVE to TRAVEL - so reach out if you would like me to teach a course in YOUR home town in the US or Internationally!
Things that bring me great joy:
1. My relationships with my K9 Medusa, kitties Oli & Sassy, close friends & family, clients & guests!
2. Water (referring to all large bodies of water....not the beverage! ;)
3. Beach walks & Podcasts!
4. Meditation
5. Pilates
6. Quotes!!
I am grateful for every guest, & potential new host, I correspond with! I look forward to hosting YOU, your loved ones, and many more in the months and years to come...truly a labor of love! Should you need assistance in hosting your own property, I would be delighted to help you with that AS WELL!
Travel quotes that inspire:
~A good traveler has no fixed plans, & is not intent on arriving.
Laozi
~Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over & over again in the quietest chambers, that the mind can never break off from the journey.
Pat Conroy
~All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.
Martin Buber
~Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, & that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost
~Remember that happiness is a way of travel - not a destination.
