Thurston House Inn

Ocracoke, North Carolina.

Covered porches with swing and rockers, private grounds with lush native plants and graying cedar shake buildings set the scene for a perfect island retreat.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Welcome to one of Ocracoke's most charming old Island homes. The Thurston House, constructed in the early 1920's, was the home of an Ocracoke native guide Captain Tony Thurston Gaskill for over 75 years. It is now on the Register of Historic Places in North Carolina.

In 1996, Capt. Thurston's Granddaughter, Marlene and her husband, Randal Mathews, renovated the house and opened the bed & breakfast. In 1999, they added an addition to the inn having 6 new guestrooms all with private baths. Donna Boor purchased the inn in 2005 and runs it with the help of her mother, Annie Louise Gaskill Gaskins. Breakfast is served 8:30 to 9:30 daily.
