Bright, Beachy Cottage in Sea Pines – Private, Freestanding Home with Porch
Tucked beneath swaying pines and framed by lush native landscaping, this cheerful 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom freestanding cottage is a hidden gem in Sea Pines' peaceful Night Heron community. Thoughtfully designed for relaxed, beach-oriented living, this home offers a clean, airy interior, charming coastal decor, and a sense of privacy that’s hard to find.
Inside, you’ll be welcomed by a light-filled open living space with hardwood floors and beach-inspired touches throughout. The living and dining area flows comfortably into a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing a post-beach lunch or casual dinner at home. Large windows and sliding glass doors bring the outside in, offering serene views of the forest and lagoon beyond.
Step out onto the wraparound back porch, where you’ll find space to sip your morning coffee, enjoy a good book, or wind down with evening drinks while listening to the sounds of nature. With no shared walls, this cottage feels especially quiet and peaceful — a true retreat.
The two bedrooms are simply and comfortably appointed, and the full bathroom has everything you need for a restful stay. A washer and dryer, high-speed Wi-Fi, and TV with streaming capabilities add to the home's convenience.
This home is all about easy living — whether you're heading out to the beach just a short 5-minute walk away, grilling on the deck, or simply lounging indoors after a day of exploring. The community pool is just around the corner, and the neighborhood’s natural setting, with its saw palmettos, live oaks, and moss-draped trees, makes every walk feel like a nature experience.
Ideal for couples or small families looking for a private, quiet stay, this cottage offers the rare combination of comfort, affordability, and charm — all within one of Hilton Head’s most desirable neighborhoods.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Just a girl and her dog
Walking distance to the beach. Love it. The beds could use an upgrade but not completely uncomfortable. I would definitely stay again!

Perfect location for a quiet getaway
Night Heron is always our first choice for a quiet family vacation. This place did not disappoint. We loved spending Thanksgiving here, and we walked to the beach on Thanksgiving day. Couldn't ask for a better holiday.

Sweet Annie’s seal of Approval
I travel with my kitty cat Sweet Annie ! Jim was so helpful in immediately letting me know I can’t let sweet Annie out around the lagoon for safety reasons. Kitty cats and alligators don’t get along . Lol . Property was perfect and Jim had everything laid out and explained to a T. I def will rent it again .
