The beach is about a 5 minute walk from the cottage. There is also a public boat ramp and kayak launch within a 5 minute walk. The cottage is located next to Cedar Island National Wildlife Refuge. This is a remote location, which makes it an outdoor-lovers paradise.

    Arrived at start of nor'easter. Owner texted us to let him know if we needed anything. It was a cozy place with good entertainment to be house bound for a couple days.

    The property was clean and well kept. The outside was cleared enough to park and walk around the house but enough flora was kept to keep the birds around for easy viewing. The interior was clean and well laid out. The kitchen was stocked well enough to prepare dinner and all appliances worked. The screened porch was most enjoyable and the swing turned out to be our favorite spot. Good views, easy access to the beach and close proximity to the ferry are a big plus. There is a military live fire range a few miles away. While the noise is not loud at all, at night you will be wondering what “that sound” is. Quiet but just enough to hear. Once you figure out what you are hearing, it is very easy to sleep. I will be returning, this is an enjoyable property.

    It had everything we needed. Short walk to the Cedar Island Ranch where we went horseback riding. We took the ferry to Ocracoke for 1 each. We walked there from the house. Very quiet except for the sound of wind and waves. Great place to disconnect. Leave the laptop at home.

    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.

    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.

    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!
