Cedar Island Beachfront Cottage

Adorable, quaint cottage! The cottage only sleeps 6. It features one master bedroom with a queen mattress, a second bedroom with a full mattress, one full bathroom, an upstairs loft area with a twin day bed and twin trundle bed, and an upstairs half bathroom. The fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A Keurig coffee maker is provided. Hickory floors run throughout the home. The screened-in porch offers a full-size hanging swing to look out at the fantastic water views of the Pamlico Sound and North Bay and watch the sunset. The cottage features an outdoor shower and eating area so you can enjoy the peace and quiet the island offers.

Close access to sandy beaches and a public boat ramp is less than 100 yards away. Great spot for fishing, boating, and swimming. Horseback riding is offered at the local campground, Cedar Island Resort. Day trips are easy to Cape Lookout National Seashore, Harkers Island, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Emerald Isle, and Ocracoke. Please check individual websites, if interested, for activities and hours of service. The Cedar Island ferry is a short walk from our Cottage.

There are two small kayaks and one full-size kayak for your use, as well as fishing rods and tackle, a gas grill, and an outdoor eating area.

If you are looking for a place to relax and recharge, without the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. We do have wi-fi but it can be slow and spotty at times. I love offering my home and this beautiful, quiet, remote, and relaxing island for others to enjoy.

Please bring your own beach chairs, beach towels, sunscreen, and insect spray.

No pets or smoking.

Excellent gateway
We loved Heather's cottage, it was clean and just as advertised. Our favorites were watching the sunset on the porch, taking walks in the beach and horseback riding just down the road. Highly recommend, if we ever get a chance to go back to NC this cottage will be the place we'll book for sure!

Born and raised in NC, I have never been to this area of our state. It is beautiful - stunning. Not having any true commercialization eliminated the standard tourist noise. The house was lovely. It has a very very small kitchen so plan accordingly. The views were spectacular. Our only regret is not being able to bring our family dog. That amenity becomes a showstopper for us most of the time.

Great little house!!
Our stay was wonderful! Everything in the house is as pictured, no surprises. It was very comfortable for the two of us. The beds and furniture were comfortable. Some tips that others might find helpful…we had very high winds for a few days and you could feel the house swaying while you’re laying in bed. I learned through a quick google search that this is completely normal for a beach house on stilts. Just a little scary if you’ve never experienced that before! This is an isolated area, not much around nor many people around if you’re here during the week (at least after Labor Day). Perfect if that’s what you’re looking for, a little lonely feeling if you like seeing other humans on your vacation. The house does not have a blender, so no frozen margaritas for us :( But it was very well stocked with everything else we needed. We couldn’t find any directions for the TV, but we think it is all just streaming channels through the internet. The movies would sometimes cut in and out due to weak internet connection, but it was doable. It’s good to take a vacation from television anyway, and if you bring a good book you won’t miss it at all. We thoroughly enjoyed the screened porch with the rocking chairs and swinging bed! Dinner on the porch watching the sunsets (and sometimes the storm clouds) were awesome 💙💙💙 K & J

My fiancé and I stayed at this cottage for 6 days, and we did not want to leave!! It was SO private and relaxing, which we both needed! We slept on the porch bed all night, only hearing the wind chime, and feeling the breeze! We had the beach to ourselves every time we went out! So many memories made. Thank you!!

Peaceful Post-Wedding Stay
My husband and I stayed here for a relaxing 3 night get away after our wedding. We knew the location was pretty isolated, which is what we wanted. We spent one day exploring the nature preserve and another in Ocracoke (2 hour ferry ride). It was extremely windy and chilly our first evening and cool the rest of our stay. If the weather had been warmer, we would have really enjoyed the screened in porch and would have probably slept on the swing. It’s a pretty small house with a kitchen for one, so the grill was a nice addition and we used it one night for steaks. The house was clean but not really built for relaxing inside. The sheets on the bed were very soft but had some stains, like they were washed with a pen or mascara. Not a big deal but we changed them out when we arrived because we weren’t sure if they were clean. Water pressure would go in and out in the shower but that could just be the nature of the location and we were still able to enjoy nice warm showers. It looks like quite a bit of the beach closest to the house has recently been destroyed by storms. There are a few water front houses with obvious storm damage. We weren’t able to access most of that beach due to neighbors with gates blocking access. I would recommend going to the beach near the campground. It is far better and we were able to see about a dozen feral cows! Unfortunately, we didn’t check out this beach until we were heading home. Overall we enjoyed our stay but had bad luck with November weather.

Clean, well decorated, nicely furnished cottage with water views to both Pamlico Sound and North Bay. Surrounded by sand, marsh, and water.

What a beautiful cottage. We were seeking a break from the fast pace of life and we surely found it. The property was perfectly kept, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The screened in back porch was our favorite place to watch the sunset over the sound each evening. Beautiful stars at night in the huge, beautiful sky. We would not have changed a thing. Just marvelous.
