Always a great experience, we are now trying to book a possible 4th trip to the island!
This is our new annual tradition with family.

The cabin was in good condition. Brought a generator to have electricity. The heater and stove worked fine. Watch out for the horseflies. Loved having the beach so close. Would like to stay again in the future!

My family had a wonderful time at the cabins. This is our third year going - my kids always look forward to this trip. Can’t wait for next year.

This is our fourth time staying at the Great Island cabins at Cape Lookout, and it is definitely a beautiful, magical place that we'll visit again! The cabins themselves, though, do have some drawbacks. A few specifics:
1) They're never cleaned, it appears. Every time we arrive, we have to sweep the cabin to get up tons of sand, hair, and even trash before "moving in". This year the finger-smudged "Mermaid Lives Matter" message was on one of the windows- which was also on there last year...so that tells you how often those are cleaned.
2) They're poorly maintained- Cabin 16 has not had a door on the second bedroom for the past 2 years, we had to hang a sheet up with thumb tacks for changing/sleeping in there. This year we arrived and there was no shower head in our shower, we had to ask for one but be aware that the office closes at 3 so ask early! The shower setup could use some attention from staff- the very flimsy shower curtain blows around in there while you shower, resulting in water all over the floor outside of the shower. You can see they have had to replace the bathroom floor often but it might be wiser to just install a sturdier curtain with weights or magnets at the bottom to keep water in the shower and save the floor.
3) Flies are an issue, so bring fly swatters (these are in some but not all of the cabins) and fly paper. The trash cans in our cabin had NO LID which you can imagine made the fly situation worse. Can we get a trash can lid for cabin 16?
4) There are often holes in the screens, so bring duct tape or report these when you arrive, as you will have bugs biting you in your sleep.
As a general tip, we love to drive down to the point of the island past the light house and around to the sound-side of the island. There are small waves there that are just the right size for kids to boogie board and play in. Also we learned the ferry service will deliver items to you that they sell during your stay by ferry for free (fly swatters). Lifesaver!

Cape Look Out NP is a fantastic park to stay and visit. Limited hours of operation for the park station is a concern. If this were a private facility the rangers station would be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM - 7 days per week.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fires & fuel
- Guests should obtain firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect forests; transporting firewood is illegal in some states.
