About this house rental
Turning Point, a Terrific Hatteras Rental!
Sat - Sat Summer Rentals; shorter stays available in the off-season.
Extensive cleaning protocols in place.
True Rental By Owner (no link to a property management company with extra fees). Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the home. Posted rates include cleaning and linens, no extra fees!
Turning Point is located in the quiet, picturesque, family-friendly Brigands' Bay neighborhood, which has scenic views, gnarled old live oak trees, Pamlico Sound access, and is perfect for walkers, runners, bikers, kayakers, and kids.
You'll have plenty of space to relax at Turning Point! We don’t have any fancy stuff -- no hot tub, pool, game room, home theater, or video library. We do have a comfortable, homey, well-maintained, and clean Hatteras beach cottage that is perfect for your family vacation! And lots of books to enjoy while you're here! The rooms are large, and the furnishings are tasteful. You won’t feel crowded here. We cater to folks who want to come hang out, enjoy, and explore the beach, the sound, the neighborhood, and all the adventure this special island has to offer.
The large great room has sliding glass doors that open onto a waterfront deck and onto a furnished screened porch. It has a smart TV with cable and Wi-Fi service, as well as shelves of books, games, and jigsaw puzzles.
The well-equipped kitchen has ample counter, cabinet, and pantry space, a spacious island, and is very well stocked with everything you will need for your stay. The dining room table has seating for 8 and opens onto the screened porch which has a picnic table for 6 - 8, plus extra seating. There are also 3 bar stools at the island in the kitchen.
There are three roomy bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom (queen bed, TV) and bath are downstairs. The two bedrooms upstairs open onto a balcony that overlooks the family room. One bedroom has a queen bed and pullout sofa, the other bedroom has a queen bed, single loft bed, and a set of bunk beds. There is a large jack-and-jill bathroom. Upstairs and downstairs you will find a fire escape ladder and a box fan in the bedroom closets.
You can fish and crab from the dock on the canal, with its fish-cleaning table and bench. Tie up your boat at the dock and have access to the Pamlico Sound for more fishing, crabbing, and clamming, or just exploring the shore. You'll love the two 2-person kayaks for exploring the Pamlico Sound, and four bikes for exploring the neighborhood by street.
We take pride in maintaining our home and ensure extensive cleaning protocols in place. Posted rates include cleaning, bed linens, and bath towels - no extra fees!

"This was our third visit to Turning Point...You can't beat the "flavor" of this house for OBX. Big thanks to Kathleen for carrying on the rental of this special place. so many family memories have been made here."
The Marsans (Michigan)
"We wanted a warm, sunny, relaxing beach vacation, and Hatteras Island delivered! We were happy to splash in the ocean waves and spend evenings relaxing and reading. Turning Point was a great location, had everything we needed and then some. Coming from up north, we loved getting a flavor of the Carolina coast."
The Collins
"What a delightful week at Turning Point! In five years, we have been here (Hatteras) nine times, and five times at Turning Point. We return year after year wondering why it is that these vacations leave us so much more fulfilled than any other exotic or remote place we have ever been to (including Virgin Islands and Antigua)!"
The Jernigans (NC)
We've had a fun week here at Turning Point! We have been coming to the Outer Banks since we were children, but this is the first time staying south on Hatteras Island, We enjoyed the slower pace and less crowded beaches and highway. Our four boys (ages 6 - 13) thoroughly enjoyed the dock out back ... and the beach was great. The cottage was very roomy and well-equipped."
The O'Rourkes
"We loved your house, everything we needed was here! We kayaked, biked, bbq'd, relaxed, read all the books on the Outer Banks. Turning Point is perfect for living life in the slow lane, or as you say yourself, "Island Time." Turning Point feels like a home, not a rental."

We had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay! The property was just as advertised. Everything was clean! The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and everything we needed, as we cooked all our meals on site. Loved the screened in porch and the dock!

Everything you could need was there. Enjoyed the kayaks, fishing, crabbing
5.0 / 5.0
The location was great. All the comforts of home. Very clean and organized. Communication with the owner, Kathaleen, was great. Kathaleen had checked in with us shortly after we arrived to make sure everything was good. We were very appreciative of her for checking in. Looking for a place to kick back and relax, this is definitely the place. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck each morning and evening watching the Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The weather was perfect. We utilized the bicycles and kayaks at the property to view the Bay Area.
Thank you again Kathaleen for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property. We had an awesome vacation

This was our first time in the Outer Banks and we absolutely loved it! My boyfriend and my son woke up every morning to fish off the dock and the views were amazing. We're definitely going to go back, hopefully every year!

From the start the owner of the property was in contact with us she was extremely easy to work wit. The house is awesome and brigands bay is a perfect area for biking and water sports. The house had everything you need…we brought things we didn’t need due to the thoughtfulness of the owners and their consideration for guests. From kayaks to pots to steam crabs there was pretty much all we needed. I hope to be back next year and we look forward to then.
5.0 / 5.0
Been visiting the island for decades and this house had everything we needed. Very cool canal area that was perfect for walks, jogs and bike rides. Everyone looked forward to the outside shower after the beach every evening and then drinks on the deck overlooking a super quiet canal. It was a very nice trip!
5.0 / 5.0
We stay in OBX every year and book for 1 or 2 weeks at a time. This property is definitely in our top three favorites and we would absolutely book again or recommend to others. Great location, very clean, and well stocked with kitchen items, outdoor activities, games, etc. Above all, property owner is very attentive, communicates quickly, and genuinely cares and wants you to have an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend. Thank you for the great experience Kathleen!

What a great place!
If you’re looking for a 3 bed 2 bath in Hatteras this place is great. Very nice neighborhood, outdoor equipment included, canal front and spacious common areas were my favorite aspects. The house was super clean and the kitchen has everything you need. And the host was great with communication, even sending weather alerts ahead of our trip. 10/10.

Great House in great neighborhood.
I only gave 4 stars for accuracy of online listing because the house was nicer than we expected based on some of the photographs. I think the listing doesn’t totally do it justice. The house was very clean, and well maintained.

The perfect rental to enjoy the most gorgeous area of the Outer Banks
This property is located on a quiet and charming residential area, with direct access to the Sound. We made use of the kayaks and enjoyed some paddling at sunset and sunrise. The kitchen has everything we needed as we cooked all our meals. Well-stocked supermarkets are only 15 or 20 minutes away and very reasonably priced. The only downside is that the closest beaches are several miles away and a car is necessary to get there. Finally, the owner is incredibly friendly and shows genuine interest in her guests enjoying their stay, as if we were family or friends!

Wonderful Home!
We had a great and relaxing time here. We kayaked, rode bikes and enjoyed visiting lighthouses in the area. We also took some nice sunset walks along the beach. This is a great location if you want to enjoy some true peace and quiet. Can't wait to come back !

Loved the house! It is a great place for a quiet get away. Was wishing we had a boat the whole time! Hopefully, next time.

Best ever vacation!
Our family had a wonderful time at Turning Point. There was something for everyone to do. We especially enjoyed the kayaks.
The house was large enough to accommodate our extended family, yet cozy enough for us to enjoy each other. Fishing off the dock kept the kids busy. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit the OBX without paying an arm and a leg.

Wonderful location and everything included in the home. Loved being on the canal. We tried fishing and sitting on the dock was very relaxing. Nice neighborhood that was very quiet. We will be back and will share with friends. Thank you.

Lovely home in Frisco North Carolina
This home was terrific and Katherine was very easy to work with. The house is on stilts so not a good choice for disabled or people with difficulty with many stairs BUT that is true of virtually all Outerbanks homes. This house is well located and very clean and well maintained. It’s in a terrific location with easy access to water and exploring the national seashore and sound.
It is a great house for two couples and four kids with plenty of room for all.
Neighborhood is very nice for walking as well.
We enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to all the birds and watching all the activity along the canal.
We recommend this home as a great spot on Hatteras
Special note: we were a bit disappointed that no soap, dishwashing, sponges, laundry detergent or cleaning products were included so be sure to purchase them or bring along. Also, we bought towels rather than rent from Shore Details since bath towels washcloths and hand towels are not included either.
Enjoy

Awesome Vacation
House was perfect for our family spring break vacation - can not complain about anything. House was setup perfect for the area and had everything we needed. The owner, Kathleen, was awesome! Great communication, she even sent emails and text to check in to make sure everything was good while we were there. We will definitely be returning. Thank you for letting us borrow your home for a week....

Relaxing summer vacation
My family of 4 had a completely relaxing, chill summer vacation on Hatteras Island. Turning Point was our home base and was exactly what we were looking for. We have two teenagers, and the house was plenty big enough to give them each their own space. It was clean and very well stocked with everything we needed, including a great collection of Outer Banks books. I loved the porches and spent quite a few hours on them reading, and we ate our dinners on the screened porch. We rode bikes in the neighborhood, paddled on the canals, ate ice cream in Buxton. But of course, the beach was the real draw. We just loved the miles and miles of wide sandy beaches and big ocean waves.

STILL LOVE THIS PLACE!
My husband and I have stayed at Turning Point for several years, spending two weeks each in the spring and the fall. The house, located in a quiet residential neighborhood, is well maintained and clean. The kitchen is equipped with just about everything you could possibly want or need. The 'beachy' decor, multiple sliding glass doors, and great room with its high ceiling make this a very bright, airy and attractive house. There's a large deck overlooking the canal, a screened-in porch, numerous board games and shelves of books (both fiction and non-fiction) for your enjoyment. There's lots of empty drawer/cabinet/closet space to store all your belongings. The dock on the canal and use of a kayak are added bonuses with this rental.
We've been vacationing on Hatteras Island in various locations for over 25 years and Frisco has become one of our favorite areas. We especially appreciate the friendly service and local fishing tips and advice from the people at Bob's Frisco Tackle and Convenience just south on Rt. 12. My husband is a surf fisherman and uses Ramps 49 in Frisco and 55 in Hatteras Village to drive onto the beach. Both of these areas also have parking areas and walkways to the beach if you don't have an ORV permit.
The owner, Kathleen, is the daughter of the original owner and it’s a pleasure to work with her just as it was with her mother. We look forward to continuing to stay at Turning Point in the future.

Peace and comfort
There is nothing we would change about our stay at Turning Point. It was all we could ask for and we hope to have the chance to build more memories there in the future. The host was great, the house provides for relaxation and all you need to stay away from home.

Excellent!!!
Our time at "Turning Point" was delightful! My family and I had a wonderful time and the cottage was perfect! We had everything we needed at our fingertips and more. The cottage is well stocked with everything you will need for a week or more. We loved the space and the large bedrooms and baths. The deck was perfect for watching the sunsets. It was a great trip and we can't wait to return next year!

A wonderful place for a family vacation
We stayed at Turning Point for 2 weeks the first of June 2017. This was our second time there and we loved it as much as the first! Great floor plan for our family of 4. Since it is pet friendly, it was the perfect option for our stay. The house was clean, had beautiful furnishings, wonderful outdoor shower! We were able to walk and jog in the neighborhood; folks were very friendly. We have friends in the Buxton/Frisco area so were close to them. Just a very special place to us! Can't wait to return! Love Turning Point and rhighly recommend it!

Peaceful, Clean, Holiday Retreat for our Family
We stayed at Turning Point mid-June 2016. This was our first vacation together as a family and we had a wonderful time. The dock against the canal was a bonus and the neighborhood was quiet. This pet friendly house was clean, in beautiful condition, and had a lovely open floor plan. Beach access was just a short drive down the road. There is a 2 person kayak at the house which was great since we were unable to bring ours. The weekly price of the home was affordable. We will be coming back to Turning Point in the future and certainly recommend this home to people of all ages! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

My husband and I spent two weeks at Turning Point in May.

Irene knows a great deal about the area and responded to all our questions and concerns quickly. We've already made our reservation to stay again in the fall and hope to continue staying at Turning Point in the future.

Prefect place to make memories!
Our family, and our family dog, had a wonderful week at Turning Point! We had fun kayaking, fishing, crabbing, cooking, and playing board games (in the evening) at the house. The kitchen is stocked better than any rental home we've ever stayed at (including a yearly timeshare). Everything is comfortable and clean and our children (9 & 11) LOVED being there. We love The Scotch Bonnet (fudge & gifts), the local bait shop just past Scotch Bonnet, ABX auto repair, the lighthouse, FRISCO SANDWICH CO., The Mad Crabber, Lighthouse beach for shells, playing in the sound, and in general how it is still a fairly uncommercial area! Our favorite spots away from the house are Sandy Bay on the sound side, Pony Beach, Scotch Bonnet, & Frisco Sandwich Co. Additionally, you couldn't ask for a better person to rent from, Irene is ALWAYS quick to respond and a wealth of information! We would have stayed a month if time and rental availability allowed!

Donnie, Veronica and Riley pup
We had a wonderful time at Turning Point. The view was amazing, more than I had expected. Irene was a fantastic host. She called to ask us about the bed, because she had some complaints that it made a noise. It did, but nothing you couldn't deal with. We slept perfectly fine. We enjoyed crabbing and fishing off the dock. Our pup Riley seemed to enjoy it the most. She loved sitting in front of the glass doors or on the deck as we enjoyed our morning coffee. It is a far drive from most tourist type things, but is well worth it. You are on a part of the island that is so narrow, that you can see the sound on one side and the ocean on the other. The only suggestion I would make is to bring bug spray. The mosquitos are relentless! We even left the citronella candles we bought for the next guests. Other than that, we had a fantastic time. I have been to the OBX many times and stayed a few places. From here on out, it will be at Turning Point! We look forward to coming again next year if we can.
4.0 / 5.0
Irene's Turning Point is a wonderful getaway that my family and I enjoyed this past summer. Her home is well maintained. The views of the canal, especially at sunset, were amazing. Thank you so much for use of the kayak! We were comfortable all week and cannot wait to come back and visit again! This is a definite recommend!
