VH123 Get To The Point at Villas of Hatt...

Welcome to Get To The Point at the Villas of Hatteras Landing by KEES Vacations Rarely do getaways have a smaller getaway built into them, but that's exactly what you will find at Hatteras. While the Outer Banks is a place overflowing with culture and history, this village - located after driving down the sometimes pencil-thin straights of Highway 12 - is at the very bottom of Hatteras Island, itself one of the south barrier islands of the OBX. This community is one of fisherman, of sea-frosted homes and independent methods for living life to the fullest, and, firmly nestled at the end of this community, resides the Villas of Hatteras Landing. With a king bed and queen-sized sleeper sofa, this cozy little one-bedroom condo can accommodate up to four guests with ease. Throughout the interior, pictures of sea-life have been hung to remind vacationers of the nautical history that is prolific throughout the OBX and particularly prevalent in Hatteras. Flat screen TVs adorn both the living room and bedroom to allow for comfy relaxation after a great day at the beach! The kitchen has also been outfitted to give the impression of a home-away-from-home. Dishes, cookware and silverware are provided that will be enough to please the chef of any family. Happen to save some leftovers from one of the waterside grills or delis in Hatteras? Store the meal in the fridge and then heat it up in the microwave or mini-oven. Restaurants are far from the only wonderful attractions found in Hatteras, however; this area never has a lack of activities to take part in! Want to learn more about its history and culture? Visit the towering Hatteras Lighthouse, or perhaps the local maritime museum which focuses on shipwrecks and the history of these storied shores. Want to get up-close and personal with the water? Take advantage of the Hatteras recreational diving scene! There is so much more to experience around these quaint villas. Come see for yourself why Hatteras and the Outer Banks as a whole has achieved such a stunning reputation among beach-goers and vacationers alike. We hope to see you soon! Enjoy the personal touch of an on-site office staffed by friendly locals who can answer your questions about services and local points of interest. This property has 2 parking spots for guests. **Private outdoor community pools and/or waterpark play areas are available, weather permitting, beginning on May 24th, 2025 and closing October 15th, 2025. Please know that pool operating dates are subject to change at any point, for any reason.** Check-In begins at 4pm. Your keyless entry code will begin granting access at this time. Check-Out is 10am.

The Cotton Gin

For those traveling to the Outer Banks, The Cotton Gin is a beloved landmark with its large windmill and picturesque gardens. The Cotton Gin has stood in the same location since 1929, starting as a working cotton gin and growing to a gift store with 4 locations. Visitors are treated to a unique shopping experience in our main store in Jarvisburg, as well as our beach stores in Corolla, Duck, and Nags Head. Explore room after room filled with décor for your home and coastal fashions for both men and women. Discover the brands you really want, like, Vera Bradley, Vineyard Vines, La Mer Luex, Simply Southern, Lindsay Phillips, Scout, Pandora, Kameleon, Brighton, Spartina, Tommy Bahama, Southern Tide and Salt Life and Old Guys Rule - all under one roof!   Don’t forget the gourmet market, or shop our beautiful linens for your bedroom and bath. We also feature coastal books and fine art, or just a whimsical fun gift to bring home to family and friends. Stop by soon and don’t forget to try our estate grown wines in our stores or visit our vineyard and winery, Sanctuary Vineyards, located adjacent to the original Cotton Gin in Jarvisburg.   Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.   Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.   “As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
