A great spot but a little more info would have been helpful
We had an amazing time and this was a great location! So close to the beach, very comfy for our family of 4, and the porch was the perfect spot for all our meals and post-beach relaxation. The only thing I’ll flag for future renters is that I felt like the supplies at the house were really limited, and given how remote the area is it would have been helpful to know that ahead of time. We were only given 1 roll of toilet paper, half a roll of paper towels, 1 spare trash bag, and really limited dishwasher detergent. Most places we’ve rented have more available and those that do not provide extra supplies usually make it very clear in the description or check-in information. We’d stay here again so it wasn’t a huge deal, but wanted to flag for future renters.

Our yearly trip
The house was phenomenal, well equipped with everything you need. Beds and lien were clean and comfortable. Location is within walking distance to the beach, boat ramp, park, and ferry. I absolutely loved the enclosed porch and porch swing while drinking my coffee watching the sunrise.

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.

Nice Stay
Clean place. Our family of 4 enjoyed our time. We did a day trip to Ocracoke. The ferry was a pleasant experience. We enjoyed going to the beach again in the evenings. We also did a day trip to Atlantic Beach (1hr away) for a more wave type beach experience. Great location, would stay again. The mosquitos are killer so put on big spray even to just run to the car. I recommend Sawyer Picaridin Insect Repellent lotion.

Came specifically to Cedar Island for the horseback riding on the beach experience, but had such a nice stay at this beach house. When we weren't on the beach, we were on the porch swing reading and writing or at the table playing uno. Comfortable, clean, excellent location and amenities.

My family enjoyed the screened in porch swing the most, was quiet and was pretty close to beach, actually drove right on beach with 4x4. Would recommend to purchase ferry tickets in advance to got to and from Ocracoke. Would recommend.

Quiet beach getaway
The house is great. The screened in porch with huge swing is so comfy. It has just what you need for a beach trip. Love that you can drive right onto the beach (4 wheel drive probably required). The area is away from the crowds which I loved. The water was full of jellyfish, not sure if that’s usual but the beach is great. Would be perfect for kids because it stays shallow even at high tide. We found a sandy little island out in the water and set up our chairs and cooler. Perfect!

Absolutely LOVE!
My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway and we love taking trips to places where we have never been before. Cedar Island was absolutely beautiful! Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of everything. The house is easy to get to, offers great parking and has everything stocked that you need for your stay. We both fell in love with the huge porch swing/bed. The owners are extremely responsive and helpful. We had one small hiccup and they were so generous with fixing it. The house is within walking distance to a restaurant, fishing, kayaking, horseback riding and the ferry. We went on a sunset horseback ride with the Cedar Island Resort stables and it was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this house and location! We will be back soon.
