Always a pleasure to be in this amazing place.

Much better condition of the cabin than last year, not nearly as many roaches this year, hottest water weve had in 30 years

Peaceful and pleasant place to stay at! Water in cabin was clean and drinkable, with consistent pressure and heat the entire time. Overhead lights in the cabin are low wattage LEDs, and can be run with only a small battery pack, if you don't want to bring a bulky generator. Beach is only a minute's walk from this cabin, down a sand road, with plenty of wind and waves, birds and fish, and good shelling as well. Do heed the advice to bring bug repellant and long sleeve shirts, the dune flies can be a bit dense until you get out to the ocean side of things. Overall, its a fun adventure to a barrier island, well worth the opportunity to go.

Have been coming to the island for 8 years now and this is the worst shape I have seen the cabins in. Cockroaches were everywhere, and the stove was barely working to the point of having to bring in our own stove.

Love Cape Lookout! The few things that should be addressed are speeding and trash. We picked up trash as we normally do but cannot do anything about the speeding on the beach. Outside of that we had a great time, and will continue to do our annual trip to Cape Lookout! Thank you.

Everything was as advertised. Hot water was tricky, however we had a blast. Definitely bring deet, the green head horse flies are the spawn of Satan. Amazing location, will definitely continue our guy's trip here.

Great Island Cabins were great! However, the website for recreation.gov leaves a lot of room for improvement. The creator of that website should try and make reservations at the cabins and should try to purchase the new necessary $25.00 off road vehicle pass.
