About this house rental

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.

We enjoyed our week in Cedar Island! It was more remote than what we are used to for a beach trip, but having a very private beach was a definite plus and the house was just a short, manageable walk away. The enclosed porch was an absolute favorite for our pup. He hung out there in the fresh air every chance he could get! Take a day to check out Beaufort - it has a beautiful boardwalk and shopping. The Ocracoke ferry is so close and worth the day trip over! Be sure to book a ride over to Cape Lookout, too, via the Island Express Ferry Service. We went on the Sunset Cruise and were lucky enough to see both dolphins and wild horses!! We appreciated the host's quick response to any questions/concerns. Don't forget to pack bug spray!

We loved the location and when we weren’t down at the water we were relaxing on the screened in porch. The house was clean and ready when we arrived. Becky called me on our way driving and was super sweet and helpful! We are a family of 5 and had plenty of space. We were prepared with most everything we needed and the few things we didn’t have could be found at the store down the road. My crew loved being able to walk out into the shallow water to a little island to fish. This was our first trip to Cedar Island and we will be returning!!

We had a family of 4 with two dogs and were very comfortable. The basic items including linens were available and clean. This wasn’t our first trip to that specific development so knew ahead of time to bring everything, and by that I mean every thing. We loaded up coolers for a weeks worth of food and charcoal knowing it’s over an hour to a regular grocery store. The general store just down the road suffices for small things and I usually travel with basic spices, oils, sugar, coffee, etc. The one thing we did have a hard time with were the mosquitoes. Having two dogs meant we were outside a lot and we came home covered in bites. Nothing I could seem to get my hands on worked very well, and with all the rain we’ve had this week it didn’t help the mosquito population. The beach is very close (5 min walk) and was enjoyed on sunny days. Our goal wasn’t to explore, but to relax, which we did. Either on the beach when it was nice, or curled up with a book when it wasn’t. The house was very clean and straightforward. The air was ice cold, to my pleasant surprise the ice machine worked (most rentals they don’t) and the appliances did as they were supposed to. The outdoor shower was perfect after the beach the only thing I would have wished for was a regular knife to cut veggies/meats. The only non serrated knife I saw was a paring knife. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
