The space

Please Note: Pool and Clubhouse (with pool table and gym) have recently reopened however the Association has the right to close these amenities at anytime. While this is a bonus to be used during your stay, please do not allow this to bear any weight on your experience with the space you are renting!

Shallowbag Bay Marina is a 75-slip marina located just off the intercoastal waterway in North Carolina's wonderful Outer Banks. The Outer Banks recreational area is one of the fastest growing coastal areas in the United States.

The shower on-board is there for your convenience, just be mindful of your use when you are able!
Hot water tank is 12 gallons and takes about 25 minutes to refill and therefore you may enjoy the amenities of in-ground plumbing at the easy to access just a few steps away clubhouse or ship store (total of 4 showers) if you enjoy longer showers and would rather all parties shower at the same time to expedite the getting ready process.

Love Boat Fits
This was our first experience staying ON the water. Everything was perfect, except we couldn't use the toilet... This was obviously beyond the owner's control and there was facilities right next door in the clubhouse/pool area that we had access too. Definitely would stay again!!!

Father's Day Get Away
My husband and I spent a spontaneous night away for Father's Day on the Love Boat and it was perfect. Manteo is such a cute little town with great shops, the aquarium, and a super cool English pub/brewery, The Lost Colony Tavern. Gia was an excellent host with amazing communication for our short notice trip. The boat was perfectly clean, the kayaks were easy to access and use, and we slept so well thanks to the gentle waves rocking the boat. 10/10 would recommend!

Stay on the Love Boat
We loved,loved, loved the Love Boat on the Shallowbag Bay. It was so relaxing and enjoyed our time there. The Bay was so nice. We loved watching the boats come in and out. The pool was awesome and we met some really nice folks there and the food at Stripers was delicious. This is the place you should come and relax and just do nothing. Although we did not meet our host, the communication was very good and we knew if we needed anything or had an issue she would have taken care of it. I would 100% recommend staying on the Love Boat. We had the best time.

A great place in a quiet marina
We stayed for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The boat is located in a smaller and quiet marina with all the amenities. Convenient location to shops and attractions. The boat was steps away from the clubhouse which offered great showers and a fitness room. The boat was very clean and as advertised. Communication with the host was top notch. We visited the Elizabethan gardens nearby and highly recommend that as well. Thank you for a great experience

Should've kept an eye on the weather
When I checked in, the houseboat was gently swaying which was fine, but today was a different story. A rapidly approaching storm front caused the the houseboat to pitch, twist, and turn. Needless to say I felt very nauseated and had to end my trip earlier than expected. If you are okay with being on the water, this place is for you but the Love Boat is on the smaller size and is easily influenced by the wind and tide.
