About this house rental
Turning Point, a Terrific Hatteras Rental!
Sat - Sat Summer Rentals; shorter stays available in the off-season.
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! We are a 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.
Come to Turning Point and enjoy the laid-back island lifestyle at its best – for as long as you can stay!

"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."

"This is our second year vacationing in Hatteras and this house. We totally loved the serenity of the neighborhood, friendliness of the people, and great accommodations. The house offered everything we needed."

Great home, clean and comfortable. The kitchen, master bedroom, living room, and porches are all on the first floor minimizing going up and down stairs. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, kayaks and bikes are a nice extra. Nice quite neighborhood. Loved being on a wide canal. Our host was very nice, quickly responded to questions while we were searching for a place and after we arrived. Close to some good restaurants, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Check out the Orange Blossom Bakery & Cafe for breakfast.

Great house. Perfect communication from the host from t]booking through the end of the stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
The house was impeccably clean upon our arrival. It is very spacious and comfortable, well suited for our family of 5. We particularly enjoyed the covered patio in the evening. Very useful information provided by our host concerning grocery stores, coffee shops and where to buy fresh seafood. Our stay was cut short due to hurricane Erin. Our host was very supportive and communicated all the information she could get to help us in this situation.

Kathleen has done everything to ensure a seamless stay. Much appreciated! The house has a great floorplan, good location, quiet neighborhood and easy to get to grocery stores, ferry at Hatteras, restaurants, etc. Stay at home or venture out - the best of both worlds. The canal side is a plus and it's a short drive to public beach access (Frisco). Booking online can always be a hit or miss but this property checks all boxes. We're so thankful for finding the listing. It's tempting to want to explore other locations but after years of staying in different places on the island as a whole, Frisco is the best locale for us. We will certainly book again in the future. Thanks, Kathleen!
