Great Cedar Island Cottage
Wildwinds Cottage was clean, nicely decorated/ furnished and in good shape. 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 loved the quiet area and not very crowded beach. This cottage is ideal for a couple or small family, and the thoughtful hosts have shared books, puzzles, and games. We hope to return!

Loved it!
Our first stay on Cedar Island and we will be back. Beautiful sunsets, perfect little beach (if you are ok with no waves). Take everything you need as it is remote. We greatly enjoyed taking ferries to nearby islands. House was clean and cozy, and a short (10 min) walk to the beach.

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.

Wonderful and Quiet
Enjoyed our stay, walking distance to beach (sound), horseback riding, fishing, crabbing, and ferry to Ocracoke. Is a distance from a large grocery store and restaurants but well worth it for the price and peacefulness of this gem.
