Turning Point is located in a quiet neighborhood that has scenic views, Pamlico Sound access, and is friendly to walkers, bikers, kayakers, kids, and even dogs.

We don’t have any fancy stuff - no hot tub, pool, game room, home theater, or video library.

We do have a comfortable, homey Hatteras beach cottage that is light and airy with warm juniper paneled walls and a cathedral ceiling in the great room. The rooms are large, and the furnishings are tasteful. You won’t feel crowded here.

The large great room has sliding glass doors that open onto a deck and onto a large, furnished screened porch. The big kitchen with its counters and “island” bar is very well stocked with everything you will need for your stay.

There are three bedrooms and two full baths. The Master bedroom and bath are downstairs and two bedrooms, with another bath in between, open onto an upstairs balcony.

There is a large, new LED flat screen TV (just one!) with cable and Wi-Fi service and shelves of books, games, and jigsaw puzzles.

You can fish and crab from the dock on the canal with its fish-cleaning table and bench.
You can 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. There is also a two-person kayak at the house for exploring the Pamlico Sound.

Bed linens are provided and beds will be made up when you arrive.

We cater to folks who want to come “and sit a while.” Turning Point is affordable for those who want to come and stay for several weeks – or even months. The basic weekly rental is among the most reasonable around. It’s just that -- a basic rental charge with taxes and a modest pet fee as the only additional charges. No reservation fees, deposits, or anything else. And there is a discount if you rent for more than one week.

Turning Point is a Shore Details house. Not only will the folks at Shore Details make sure your house is clean when you check in and clean up after you, but they are also available to help with any maintenance problems during your stay. In addition, through the company’s Concierge Service, you can have groceries stocked before you arrive, have a pre-cooked dinner delivered to your cottage, arrange for catering for parties, rent linens, find a babysitter, or plan your excursions – charter fishing, eco-tours, sunset cruises, or anything else you want during your stay.
