Beds were comfortable and daybed porch swing was heavenly. Kitchen is small and location is away from bigger grocery stores so bring prepared food or groceries in (unless you like longer drives).

We greatly enjoyed taking ferries to nearby islands. House was clean and cozy, and a short (10 min) walk to the beach. ##### Caroline E.

So close to the beach, very comfy for our family of 4, and the porch was the perfect spot for all our meals and post-beach relaxation. The only thing I’ll flag for future renters is that I felt like the supplies at the house were really limited, and given how remote the area is it would have been helpful to know that ahead of time. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper, half a roll of paper towels, 1 spare trash bag, and really limited dishwasher detergent. Most places we’ve rented have more available and those that do not provide extra supplies usually make it very clear in the description or check-in information. We’d stay here again so it wasn’t a huge deal, but wanted to flag for future renters. ##### Morgan V.

Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew V. 21 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice and Quiet The property was clean and well kept. The outside was cleared enough to park and walk around the house but enough flora was kept to keep the birds around for easy viewing. The interior was clean and well laid out. The kitchen was stocked well enough to prepare dinner and all appliances worked. The screened porch was most enjoyable and the swing turned out to be our favorite spot. Good views, easy access to the beach and close proximity to the ferry are a big plus. There is a military live fire range a few miles away. While the noise is not loud at all, at night you will be wondering what “that sound” is. Quiet but just enough to hear. Once you figure out what you are hearing, it is very easy to sleep. I will be returning, this is an enjoyable property. ##### Matthew V.

My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway and we love taking trips to places where we have never been before. Cedar Island was absolutely beautiful! Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of everything. The house is easy to get to, offers great parking and has everything stocked that you need for your stay. We both fell in love with the huge porch swing/bed. The owners are extremely responsive and helpful. We had one small hiccup and they were so generous with fixing it. The house is within walking distance to a restaurant, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding and the ferry. We went on a sunset horseback ride with the Cedar Island Resort stables and it was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this house and location! We will be back soon. ##### Heather D. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason P. 3 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great value, peaceful, gorgeous location This was our third trip to Cedar Island, so we had realistic expectations. If you are unfamiliar with Cedar Island, and you are expecting a typical outer banks type experience, you may be disappointed. Cedar Island is remote, and it's mostly nature preserve. Depending on the season, there are persistent and pervasive mosquitoes anywhere other than the beach. Bring reliable bug repellent. The main attraction on the island is the beautiful, natural beach with calm, shallow water, which is great for kids. You can also book a beach-side horseback ride at the local campground (somewhat expensive, but a very nice experience). There is one store, a gas station/general store that also has scooped ice cream. Dollar General is about a 17 minute drive; big box store is 45 minutes. Bring food, bring essentials, bring beach towels, don't expect good wifi or cell reception. Instead, plan to unplug and enjoy nature. The bug-free, crowd-free beach is a short walk. Hunting, fishing, and kayaking are other options. There's a ferry that goes to Ocracoke if you're looking for a more touristy island. The cottage is wonderful, clean, and roomy. The porch was lovely at night. The price was incredibly reasonable and convinced us to rent this over a hotel room. There was a scheduling error, and the owner graciously credited us an extra night when we had to book a night at the hotel. We would love to stay here again and would definitely recommend this rental. ##### Jason P.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our time. We did a day trip to Ocracoke. The ferry was a pleasant experience. We enjoyed going to the beach again in the evenings. We also did a day trip to Atlantic Beach (1hr away) for a more wave type beach experience. Great location, would stay again. The mosquitos are killer so put on big spray even to just run to the car. I recommend Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent lotion. ##### Kara S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ---
