Turning Point is located in the peaceful, photogenic, family-friendly Brigands' Bay neighborhood, which has breathtaking vistas, gnarled old live oak trees, Pamlico Sound access, and is ideal 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 bungalow that is ideal for your family vacation! And tons of books to appreciate while you're here! The rooms are huge, and the furnishings are tasteful. You won’t feel busy here. We cater to folks who want to come hang out, savor, and discover the beach, the sound, the neighborhood, and all the adventure this special island has to offer.
The sizable great room has sliding glass doors that open onto a waterfront deck and onto a furnished screened porch. It has a intelligent 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 cavernous island, and is very well supplied 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 additional 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 couch, the other bedroom has a queen bed, single loft bed, and a set of bunk beds. There is a enormous 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 adore the two 2-person kayaks for exploring the Pamlico Sound, and four bicycles for exploring the neighborhood by street.
We take pride in maintaining our home and ensure broad cleaning protocols in place. Posted rates include cleaning, bed linens, and bath towels - no additional costs! We are a True Rental By Owner (no link to a property management company with additional costs). Feel complimentary 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!

The Garners
"This was our third visit to Turning Point...You can't beat the "flavor" of this home 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, calming 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 adored getting a flavor of the Carolina coast."
The Collins
"What a enchanting 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 kids, but this is the first time staying south on Hatteras Island, We appreciated the slower pace and less busy beaches and highway. Our four boys (ages 6 - 13) thoroughly adored the dock out back ... and the beach was great. The bungalow was very roomy and well-equipped."
The O'Rourkes
"We appreciated your home, everything we needed was here! We kayaked, biked, bbq'd, casual, read all the books on the Outer Banks. Turning Point is ideal for living life in the slow lane, or as you say yourself, "Island Time." Turning Point feels like a home, not a rental."
The Harshes, (NC)
"This is our second year visiting in Hatteras and this home. We completely appreciated the serenity of the neighborhood, friendliness of the people, and great accommodations. The home offered everything we needed."
