Fantastic stay at The Tide is Turning

We cannot imagine a more perfect location and gorgeous house on Ocracoke! The house is new and an architectural delight, and is beautifully appointed with all of the amenities one could want. This includes really comfortable seating / lounging on the multiple decks as well as inside. It is located directly overlooking the sound for an unbelievable view from sunrise to sunset. We were lucky to have some good weather in our early Spring visit, but not unexpectedly some rain and high winds as well, and on those days it was a delight to watch and enjoy the turbulent water from the main living area. The immediate area is quiet, but it's a short walk into town for shops and restaurants. Ocracoke itself is a wonderful oasis of miles and miles of pristine beaches and natural areas surrounding a lovely town with great food and distractions. This was our first visit to Ocracoke, but certainly won't be our last, and same for The Tide is Turning!

Stunning slice of heaven!

This house is absolutely beautiful inside and out! The decor, layout and views take your breath away. You are off the beaten path but so close to all your needs. We not once drove our own vehicles while we were on the island. The lookout on top of the house is the best piece of the house during sunsets. Kathy we very responsive to any questions asked and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely share this property with all who wants to listen!

Spring Break

Let me start by saying that Kathy went above and beyond our expectations in ensuring our stay was perfect. And it was. The house was stunning. We enjoyed the views and the beautiful decorations. Our time there was very windy so many outside activities weren’t possible. We didn’t care because we enjoyed staying in and playing cards and just relaxing. What a wonderful space to have some family time. The furniture and beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for preparing our meals. The location was perfect. Easily walkable to shops and restaurants. Zillies was nice and close for a glass of wine although nothing beat having drinks at the house with the gorgeous views of the sound. We rented a golf cart from ocracoke island golf cart just at the end of the street. Convenient and great customer service. This house fit our crew nicely. Our two teenage sons each brought a friend. Everyone had their own bed and was comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Phillips

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.
