Kick Off Your Shoes, Relax at Island Time Free Wifi

Island Time is our little slice of paradise in the Outer Banks. It's small so we have done everything to utilize the space as efficiently and artistically as possible. It's very cheerful, clean and we think it's just the perfect little getaway place.

We've had lots of honeymooners and many repeat visitors over the years.

Spend some time experiencing the wonders of Cape Hatteras at your doorstep. Hatteras is a quiet little OBX village without the tourist crowds you will find farther north. Relax on our roof top deck under the brightest stars you will ever see or take a sunrise walk and watch the dolphins swim in the surf.

Island Time is a free standing Studio on stilts with parking underneath providing you a private hide-a-way on the beach. Our brand new queen size Serta Perfect Sleeper will ensure you get a good nights sleep. We added a gel mattress topper for those who like a softer bed.

Dan and I love to cook so the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals or entertain. The local restaurants are wonderful too with fresh local seafood. There are charcoal grills and picnic tables outside for the grill masters among you.

We provide beach chairs and umbrellas so take off that watch and relax into Island Time.

As with all Mid Atlantic vacation spots we are subject to hurricanes between July and Nov. Please consider travel insurance. VRBO offers a plan but there are other insurance options. Check the internet for options. It's not expensive and safeguards your vacation monies.
This cottage's great beach location gets high marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Outer Banks Beaches. You'll find features like concierge services. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchen, balcony, and sofa bed

Amazing place and location
This place is beautiful and picturesque. It was clean and organized. The cabin is very comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. The kitchen is equipped with everything you may need to cook. It has paper towels, dish soap and a new sponge. Includes coffee maker and toaster. The freezer has ice. The refrigerator cools very well. The bed is too comfortable. Which was my priority since I suffer from chronic back pain. The balcony on the roof is incredible. If there are no clouds you can see the stars and the Milky Way accompanied by a good wine. The cabin is steps from the beach and has a dune over 30 feet high that protects your car from a high tide. Haterras is super quiet and the beach is beautiful. Its sunsets are magical. This place is perfect for couples. The host is amazing too.Thehostwonderful and easy to access.

Cute place in a great location
My husband and I searched for several weeks for a place to stay in the Outer Banks. Being the first time we’ve ever been to the Outer Banks, we were not familiar with the different towns there. We stayed during Labor Day which is apparently the end of the season. We knew we wanted to be in a less populated area, so we steered clear of Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills. We had our choices narrowed down to Frisco, Hatteras, and Avon. We ended up selecting this cute little cabana in Hatteras because we knew we wanted to travel down to Ocracoke for at least one day. This location was prefect! The cabana is just as described online. They supply you with a roll of paper towels and toilet paper and a small bottle of dish soap and the bed linens. The bed (and even the pillows) were comfy and neither of us had any complaints anbout our backs which is usually the norm. The air conditioner did an excellent job removing the humidity! Recommendations: we noticed most of the blinds are missing the rod to open and close, so maybe replacing those would be an added benefit to bring more light in. Also, the cleaning company must have forgotten to sweep the floor because I filled up the dustpan with sand as soon as we got there. And the oven was dirty, but I didn’t realize it until I preheated it and filled the unit with smoke. Fortunately, I was able to open the two doors and quickly remove all of the smoke before it set off the detector. Overall, this place is excellent!

Disappointed
Unfortunately we had to move locations due to roaches inside and out. Also a futon was falsely advertised and we couldn’t sleep comfortable on the queen bed so we were going to try the coach bed that was advertised and it didn’t exist. Tried to work with the owners and she was responsive but not very understanding. We tried to remove the padding on the bed and were unable to do so because the zipper didn’t work properly. We wasted a lot of money.

Cozy Seaside Condo/Cabana
Loved this place - right on the beach (very short walk over a sand dune) and close to plenty of fun stuff to do. Right on NC-12, so easy to drive to more distant locations. Decor was cheerful and inviting, kitchen was well equipped, and there's BBQ's outside too. The 'rooftop' deck was my favorite breakfast spot. ...or lunch, or just enjoying the view in the evening. Only 'complaint' (and some may not see it that way) the bed--and there's just one, no futon or sofa bed--was SUPER, SUPER soft (6" soft foam pad on top of the mattress?). Not for me. And sinking in made it feel hotter, too. :/ But other than that it was WONDERUL!

Beautiful location
You will not be disappointed by staying in this cabana. The hosts are absolutely amazing and truly care about their guests. It is steps away from the beach, not to mention the most comfortable beach chairs on the top deck to see the beach. Anytime you would like we return year after year and would not consider staying at any other location, you will not be disappointed. The cabana has everything you need to just sit back and relax. We can’t wait to go again next year.

The place had everything 2 people would need for a beach vacation. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The deck on top was great as it provided a view of the ocean.

Memorial Day weekend stay
The property itself was clean and as advertised, but was still smaller than anticipated. We had to store our empty suitcase in our car because there is no room. There is no privacy if you use the porch and upper deck which was annoying. The neighbors are so close you can hear each other’s conversations and you could probably touch each other if you reached out. That’s how close the units are to each other. The upper deck was very nice and we enjoyed using it, until the neighbors came out on theirs too. The proximity to the beach was great. One concern was that someone entered the property while we were not there and with no notice before or after they entered. They left a notebook with information about the area, which is how we knew someone had been there. A heads up text or email before or after coming in would have been nice.

This was exactly what it was advertised to be. The location was great and ease of getting to the beach was nice. The weather didn't cooperate 100%, but we had a great time anyway. Nice place and great location. Was disappointed the Hatteras Lighthouse was out of commission due to renovations, but enjoyed our first trip the outer banks.

Amazing Stay!
10/10 recommend staying at Island Time! It was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway with the hubby! I am OCD and the cleanliness of this place was top notch for a vacation rental. Owners instructions for entry were clear and precise & everything was so perfect that we did not need a thing from them during our stay! The view from the top deck is breath taking! The outdoor furniture on the decks is extraordinary! Most places out cheaper plastic outdoor furniture outside but these chairs and tables were amazing! This unit even provided beach chairs (although it was too windy so we did not use them). The location is PERFECT! Settled right in the heart of Hatteras, just minutes from the Ferry, Frisco, Buxton, and Avon. We ate at so many of the local eateries and had great experiences. The location has 39 other condominiums and everyone was so nice! There was a group of people who had a cookout in the picnic area out back and they were so friendly & polite! ALSO! This unit is just steps from the sand. 😍 early morning sunrise walks on the beach or late night strolls at sunset are the perfect additions to any day! We will most definitely rent again for our next getaway ❤️
