The cabins need to be remodeled. The ants are taking over. I love this spot but its time for some maintenance.

Rustic cabins. Great location. Shelling is amazing. We always bring a fan to deal with the overnight heat. Some bugs in the cabin but otherwise great experience.

We had planned to camp on the beach here. We had packed appropriately. When we came off the ferry, we were offered a cabin. We checked it out and it really was a step up from camping on the beach ! Water and a bed.
Our next visit will include more water, the water wasn’t great for drinking.
Also, more than one battery fan or maybe a generator, but we were fine with a lantern this visit. The wind was 30 mph and although it was nice to keep the heat down, the sand pelted us.
We will come back with a few more accommodations, but seclusion is our
Jam! And my husband and 4 kids and I really enjoyed ourselves for a 4 day stay

We stayed during the hottest time of year. We brought a window AC unit and a generator. It took a night or so to cool down the cabin, but in a cooler month that would likely not be an issue. The beach was beautiful and remote, but swim at your own risk and watch your kids like a hawk. We packed in all of our food but beware, there are a lot of ants, and lots of places for them to get in the cabin. They will get in. Bring all food in sealed containers and don't leave anything out overnight.
We will likely be back, but the trip definitely takes a lot of prep work and work while staying here to be comfortable. If a remote, pristine, untouched beach with no one for miles is your thing, its worth it.

We loved our experience at Great Island. The cabins were stocked with more amenities than I was expecting (paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, brooms) and it was in better shape than I was expecting. We are excited to visit again!

The cabins, eh, they are in a bit of disrepair. But if you in for an epic adventure on the island and not looking for luxurious accommodations, you’ll love it. Bring disposable tablecloths, a bathmat for the shower and don’t expect much for the cabins, it’ll be fine. It was my 3rd trip and I plan on coming back every year. The 4x4 beaches, the shells, the stars, it’s all a little piece of NC paradise.

My wife and I bring our shepherd every year, sometimes more than once. Friendly, helpful rangers and volunteers on the island, and a great ferry experience as well. Cabins are clean, maintained, and the there is nothing like the experience of sleeping just feet from both the Atlantic and the Sound! Peace, nature, sunsets, and an experience like no other.

Had a great time and spent most of it on the beach. Went clamming on the inside and thus had a nice seafood dinner. Good thing you can get ice at the office as it was pretty hot the whole time we were there. Only problem was that there were three days of wind at about 18 to 20 knots. Tough for an umbrella but we shielded ourselves with our truck.
