About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

2 Bedroom, second row beach cottage .

Come join us. Our 800 square foot beach cottage offers a peaceful place to relax or a nice play to stay while you are here for some quiet relaxation at the spacious beach or for some fishing.

Built in 2013, our cottage is nestled among trees for additional privacy, but you can easily walk from our second row home to the beach (with miles of white sandy beach) or to the ferry to spend a day on Ocracoke.

Just beyond the ferry is a boat launch where you can launch your boat at no charge and it is next to another long stretch of beach. Cedar Island has sounds, bays and marshes to explore, so it's a great place to do some fishing and hunting in season. Local fishing and hunting guide services (in season) are available.

The cottage has a downstairs bedroom with 3 twin beds and upstairs features 1 queen bed. And with the queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, our cottage can sleep up to seven. There is one full bath with tub downstairs and 1/2 bath upstairs plus an additional outside shower. Bed linens and towels are provided. Beds will be already made up in advance of your arrival. Additional towels are in the downstairs closet.

The kitchen is equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemaker, pots and pans, plates, kitchen utensils, etc. You can dine on the screened in porch and enjoy the salt air while listening to the waves and the sea birds.

We offer free wireless WiFi to allow you to stay connected (using Brightspeed DSL). The living room also has a flat screen smart TV (with antenna limited to local channels weather permitting) with DVD with movies. You can also access your own streaming account (Amazon, Netflix, etc.) to watch your choice of content available from those services.

If you are seeking water activities, you can bring your kayak or canoe or rent them at the campground across the street. Horseback riding on the beach is also available. We are also happy to suggest local captains for boat rides or fishing. Or we are located about 40 minutes from historic towns of Beaufort and Morehead City where you can shop, dine, etc.

Come enjoy our secluded beach cottage away from the hustle and bustle for some relaxation, walking on the beach or enjoying some outdoor activities. We welcome pets (maximum 2 pets). Pets are permitted on the beach all year long (local lease law applies). We look forward to your visit.



Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker, and housekeeping is provided on a limited basis.

The home was clean and loved the screened in front porch looking at the water. It’s almost like you have your own private beach and the water is so shallow you can walk a long distance out. Make sure you bring bug spray for the mosquitoes. Also no grocery stores for 15-20 miles. Make sure to stop on your way in. We would stay here again loved how peaceful it is great place to have a book retreat!
Not sure the meaning but these are painted on the road and on flags hanging from homes.

2025 Vacation Cedar Island

I was impressed with house we stayed in. There were a few bumps in the road but nothing to put a damper on our vacation. Everything we needed was there for us. It was a short trip to the beach which is why we love Cedar Island so much. It’s a quiet beach with still waters at times. The ferry is available if you choose to go over to other islands such as Ocracoke or Cape Hatteras, horseback riding is available and a restaurant, however it wasn’t open this season because of transfer of management or ownership. Great place to vacation!!

Another great stay

We stayed in this home once before, before kids, and had a great time. So we decided to come back, this time with the kids. Again, we had a great time! The town is very quiet, and with it being warm weather there were jellyfish, but we still had so much fun relaxing on the beach, with convenience of driving on the beach as well. We also enjoyed being able to visit Ocracoke beach with a short ferry ride. The house was clean, I found a lot of stray hairs lol but that’s understandable. It stayed nice and cool, which I forgot to turn up the ac when we left (so sorry!) The outside area could really use bug treatment before guests stay, because there are.. and I cannot annunciate more, TONS of biting flies and mosquitoes. But overall if you are prepared with bug prevention, you will have a great and relaxing stay!!

What a great beach cottage

We Spent the last week of summer before school started back. We had a fantastic time. We spent one day in Beaufort/ Atlantic Beach and took another day to ride the ferry over to Ocracoke (that’s the best return on a single dollar ever!) The house was perfect for 4 children two adults and a dog. We had beautiful nights eating dinner on the porch and enjoying the sunsets, even the sunrises a few mornings . The walks from this location are great and I couldn’t recommend a place more. The amenities were also really convenient. To be able to do the daily laundry with that many children was really handy because we didn’t have to pack as much.

Cute Place

We enjoyed our stay and the beach that was within walking distance and short driving distance. There were minor things that were noticed when we got there. The upstairs trash can had not been cleaned out and didn’t have a trash bag. The downstairs bathtub had hair in it. But again not major issues. We would go back again.

Quiet time with the family on Cedar Island

We had a wonderful stay with 4 teenagers and our dog at the beach cottage. We took a day trip to Ocracoke, which was definitely a highlight. Walks on the beach with the dog were great! The house is quiet with a beautiful beach view. We'd highly recommend it for some quiet time with loved ones.

Cedar Island Beauty

We really enjoyed our stay. Great place to stay at when you are visiting Ocracoke. You can literally walk to the ferry from the house. Great value overall. The house is clean and nice. Comfortable and cozy. Small house but with big views. House is perfect for family of 4. Thanks again. Great job. 😀😎 See you again soon. Oh. The next door neighbors are rude. They leave music playing all day long even when they are not home. If you can’t beat them join them. Play your own music back at them!! The neighbors need to get their music under control. LoL. It really didn’t bother us but we thought it was odd. Like who does that

Immaculate Coastal Cottage

I can highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a stay in Cedar Island. Beautiful water views off the large screened in porch, large loft with private bath and a bedroom with 3 twin beds made this the perfect cottage for our group. Property was very clean and well stocked and the owner was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We look forward to booking again in the future.
