It is perfect for minimalist couples who want an affordable, quiet, and comfortable nature getaway.

The property is quiet and private with a great views, surround by 19,000 acres of Federal wildlife preserve. Nature adventures abound with miles of pristine beaches and sand dunes and wild horses, hiking in the woods is just minutes away. Rent our Kayaks or bring your boats, bikes and water toys.

The beach is 5 minutes away and the boat ramp and dock is at the end of this dead end street. Or simply relax and toast the sunset over the ocean, or veg in front of the smart TV with 250 Channels of Satellite Direct TV. Surf the web with High Speed Wi-Fi. Stay comfortable with full control over house heating and air conditioning. This cottage is a favorite vacation spot for Nature adventurers who are young at heart.

Access

Google a satellite view of the Bahamian Breeze Waterfront Cottage at “455 Lola Road, Cedar Island, NC 28520”. The only house visible from our cottage is owned by super seniors, who visit a few days a year. This uniquely quiet, private and remote waterfront cottage is on Cedar Island, often called “the gateway to the Outer Banks”.

This is a water view property. Direct access to the water is limited by the sea wall. The dock does not have navigable or fishing depths, and is subject to storm damage. We can’t guarantee dock use. The boat ramp is a 2 minute drive, and Cedar Island “wild Horse Beach” is a 5 minutes drive. There are 5 miles of deserted beaches, rambling dunes, and herds of wild horses with 7 new foals this year. The riding stable is at the entrance to the beach. Dogs are welcome everywhere.

Cedar Island is closer to the outer banks than any other land mass and shares the same wonderful water views. But it is an Island and technically not the outer banks or Ocracoke. Cedar Island is accessible by the Ocracoke Car Ferry ($20 carfare, $1 walk on with a bicycle). You can also drive onto the Island from the mainland using the “Outer Banks National Scenic seashore” Causway. (NC Route 12).

Additional Notes

The dog fee is $20 per day. Please, no aggressive, destructive, un-trained or “protection” breeds. Pets must be kept off the indoor furniture and bedding. Smoking is allowed on the covered screen porch but not in the house.
