Blackbeard's Lodge

Blackbeard's Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The people that run the lodge were so helpful! We were going to be later coming in and had to leave early the next morning so we weren’t going to be able to visit the shops and I was really disappointed because I wanted an Ocracoke souvenir - the wonderful woman working that day arranged for someone from a local shop to work with me to choose a coffee cup via text pictures and the coffee cup was delivered to our room and was waiting for us when we arrived- just amazing personal service!!! The lodge was so cute and quaint and there were even real keys to open the hotel room door! So charming! Would stay here again!"

The Ferry Retreat in Cedar Island!

10/10 Excellent
"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."

"The outlets in the loft only work if the light is on so you are unable to use the fan/charge phones etc. unless the lights are on. I would recommend bringing a battery powered fan it can get quite hot up there at night even with the AC on. Overall good experience!"

The Lucky Buc-Pet friendly cottage perfect for a couple or small family.

10/10 Excellent
"The Lucky Buc was exactly what we hoped it would be. Clean, well maintained, off the beaten path. We were there during the nor’easter, couldn’t get off the island. Russell stayed in constant contact with us during the extra days so we could continue to enjoy our stay. Rent the golf cart you’ll be glad you did. Highly recommend this bungalow and these owners. They are good people."

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.
