We just love this place! We've stayed on Northern Pond for a long time and have been in three different houses over the years. This one is definitely the best. It even has it's own beach which is a rarity in Ocracoke. We launch kayaks directly into the sound. The rooftop deck is really enjoyable. The owners Kathy and Bob are wonderful. What more can I say!

We had a dream Mother’s Day weekend staying here on Ocracoke. The location is fantastic - we parked our car and walked or biked everywhere. The views are beautiful from the (many!!) porches, and the house is wonderfully laid out with modern appliances… including a coffee bean grinder for the freshest cup each morning. The host was seemingly 24/7 available to answer questions. My kids have already begged me to rebook for next year.

This house is gorgeous and in a fantastic location on the water. The host was outstanding, very responsive to questions. The only thing we didn’t like was the layout of the master bedroom and upstairs bedroom. We had to share a toilet with our kids and our kids had to share our shower.

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.
