We go to Ocracoke every January to "kick back" and have some down time. The Thurston House is one of the few places on the island that is open this time of year. The rooms are very nice: roomy, good beds, and very clean. It's a B&B so you get breakfast. While the coffee is quite good, breakfast is not... More

Loved our room. Breakfast was outstanding both days we stayed, two thumbs up on the coffee. The Thurston House is located right in the middle of everything. We will definitely stay again on our next visit to Ocracoke.

Love this place! The room was charming and spotless! Comfy bed, flatfoot tub, heart pine floors, outdoor showers, great deck and close to the harbor and restaurants! No need for a car, you can cycle everywhere! The breakfast, cooked by the sisters with mom was outstanding! Sweet potato pancakes, eggs, fresh fruit, award winning fig cake! It was perfect !

The Thurston House Inn is in a good location within easy walking distance of lots of restaurant and shops. Breakfast was excellent each morning. I will definitely be staying here next time I come to Ocracoke.

While we often stayed in B&B's in Europe, the Thurston House was our first such experience in the USA and resulted in a pleasant and peaceful visit which complimented the interesting island. The Thurston House sits in town on lightly traveled Highway 12 and was easily located. Our room was pleasant, quiet, and comfortable. The location was perfect for walking... More

We stayed here one night that was much to short, could have stayed a week. We found the B&B after a long day of sight seeing on the Outer Banks North Carolina. Called Thurston House Inn B&B after driving by and found that there was one room left for the night. Donna, the owner, showed us the room which included... More

We enjoyed visiting with Donna and the other guests who occupied the Inn while we were there. Donna recommended a good restaurant and we enjoyed fresh seafood for dinner. We... More

First the mitigating factors - it was early season and the owner had been called away on jury service. When we arrived, there was no-one to welcome us but a note on the office door directing us to our room. It quickly became apparent that we were the only people staying. There are no tea/coffee making facilites in the rooms... More
