House was good -- above what was needed for a few friends to have a fishing trip ---- clean, quiet area, easy access to the village --- weather was not what was needed .. no pier for fishing in Northern pond --- host was easy to deal with -- and prompt with responses --- minus the weather, good stay and would recommend ...

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Phillips

Host profile image
Our first trip to Ocracoke was the year we met in 1981. We fell in love with each other and the island, never thinking we would someday own a home with the dream of someday living there. Currently working in Raleigh with 2 kids recently out of college, we escape in either direction - to the island and to the NC mountains (check out our Blowing Rock listings #486190 and #1182504.). We look for folks who also share an appreciation of Ocracoke and would enjoy staying in an island home on a sandy beach that captures times past. Our hope is that you will feel part of this community.
