We’ve stayed in many VRBOs, Sandra was the best host we’ve had. Helpful, courteous and kind. I booked this looking for a peaceful getaway and it more than lived up to my hopes. The nights were so quiet, and when the sky is clear at night you can see all the stars. I could sit, inside or out, all day and watch the birds and fish jumping. The ferry to Ocracoke is less than 5 minutes away and is a lovely day trip and boat ride. We enjoyed exploring Morehead City and Beaufort and Emerald Isle. It’s about an hour’s drive to the Morehead City area but it’s the most peaceful drive ever with amazing views of the water and wildlife. Grateful for the hospitality and already booked a return trip. Thank you, Sandra.

Totally coming back next year

The place is amazing and very cozy, the stars at night are gorgeous because there's no light pollution, there is a quiet there that is so comforting - you hear the water lapping, the fish jumping, the birds cawing at each other and not much else. Plus, Sandy is amazing :-)Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway!

If you want your every need taken care of, this is the place for you! Sandy was a great communicator and made sure we had everything prepared in advance, even so far as offering to let us change weekends when she saw the weather was going to be rainy (we went anyway and had a great time, but this gesture was very generous and thoughtful). The property was one of the most clean that I have ever stayed in. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms stocked with the necessities. The grab-and-go snacks were a life saver before heading to the ferry for a day at Ocracoke. I highly recommend this property and would certainly go back again.

Our Getaway on Cedar Island Bay

This property is exactly as described! Beautiful view of the bay, nicely furnished and spotless. Everything you could possibly need is provided! We spent a lot of time on the porch facing the bay watching pelicans, fish jumping and enjoying the refreshing breeze! We met the Styrons, the owners. Delightful people, who wanted to be sure we had everything we needed! Be sure to eat dinner at Wild Will's Revenge! We had the most delicious seafood there! We will definitely be returning!

Relaxing Bay View

🌅 This beautiful home was just as advertised and just what I was looking for. The Waterfront view from house and yard is Perfect for the busy person who wants to truly rest and relax away from home. An appreciated amenity was the grab and go breakfast. That special touch was greatly appreciated. The beautifully apportioned home looked brand spanking new in its cleanliness. This rental lives up to its advertising. Also, highly commendable was the host Sandy, who quickly responded and addressed our need.

We rented this house for a hunting trip, and glad we did. The host made sure everything was in top notch shape and we had all we needed. House has a beautiful view of the sound! If your looking for somewhere to stay on a hunting trip or nice quaint getaway then look no further. Mrs Sandy’s house is the go to and going to be for years to come!
