Turning Tide VaKay

We arrived to a clean cottage, with a wonderful kitchen and eating , relaxing space. We enjoyed watching shooting stars ,star gazing from the roof. We floated in the little bay and kayaked in the sound . When we weren't at the cottage we were wandering the little shops and made sure we stopped at the Sweet Treat for Truffles and the coffee shop for our lattes, and of course Zillies to see what random items they had.

We had an amazing time at The Tide is Turning! The home is so well appointed and you can tell that a lot of thought went into the original design. Access to the beach, kayaks and the top sitting porch are just icing on the cake. Our host was super responsive to questions and really friendly throughout the reservation process and our stay. We were already talking together as a family about returning to this same property in the future. If you haven't been to Ocracoke before, it is also a treat. Most of the island can be accessed by bicycle or walking. The beaches require a very short drive, but they are beautiful. Some beaches allow driving onto the shore, which is really convenient. All in all, we considered this a perfect trip! Many thanks to our hosts for allowing us to enjoy their beautiful home for a week! It was a wonderful week!

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.
