"This place is something else! We ended up booking a last minute stay - we arrived in the dark and it was late. As soon as we stepped inside, we had the warmest welcome and fell in love with the place instantly! We’ve done tons of traveling and on this specific trip we were on a road trip from Portland, Maine to Charleston, SC and this was without a doubt our fav place to stay! It’s not fancy, the door didn’t close properly but we didn’t care! I can’t wait to go back and stay for more than 1 night!"

"Quaint and comfy cottage and you can't beat the view. An added bonus was the pods of dolphins we watched in the morning from the deck. We also rented a golf cart for the week and had a blast exploring the island. Cottage was very clean and well stocked. Communication with Debbie was excellent. Overall, a great place to stay on Ocracoke."

"This is a beautiful immaculately kept house and property. The hosts Richard and Brenda could not be kinder and were so helpful in answering questions . It is a perfect quiet secluded sanctuary on the water , .but not a far drive from the town of Beaufort or the ferry to Cape lookout. I had a wonderful stay there and I can't wait to go back. This place is a treasure."

"The host is very friendly and helpful. We had some issues with the door lock and he was able to reset the lock instantly over the phone during check in. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen are very clean with more than enough supplies, although the kitchen plates are all plastic and worn. The retreat is very cozy and is only 7 minutes from the ferry, very convenient. We had a good sleep."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Cedar Island?
The best area to stay in Cedar Island is near the Cedar Island Ferry Terminal, particularly along the main thoroughfare of Cedar Island Road.This area is the heart of Cedar Island, offering the most convenient access to local amenities and the ferry service. Cedar Island Road is a straightforward route that connects the ferry terminal to the few local businesses, including a general store and a couple of eateries. It's a small, spread-out community, so being close to this central point is key for ease of access.For travellers planning to use the ferry to Ocracoke Island, staying near the terminal is incredibly practical. You'll be just a short drive, or even a walk, from your departure point, which is ideal for early morning crossings or late-night arrivals.Couples looking for a quiet retreat will find the accommodations along Cedar Island Road suitable. Many options here are smaller, independently owned establishments, providing a more personal and relaxed experience away from larger crowds.
When is the best time to go to Cedar Island?
The best time to visit Cedar Island is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months.Spring offers pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like kayaking, fishing, and exploring the Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge. The foliage is lush, and the wildlife is active. It's a great time for couples to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquillity without the summer crowds.Autumn also provides comfortable weather, with temperatures similar to spring. The advantage of autumn is the lower humidity and fewer insects, particularly mosquitoes, which can be more prevalent in the warmer months. This season is great for those interested in birdwatching, as many migratory species pass through the area.
