Sound-Front Cottage - Short Walk to the Beach, Private Dock & Dog-Friendly

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

This generational family getaway offers the perfect retreat nestled right on the Intracoastal Waterway and just 200 steps from the beach. You and your loved ones will enjoy the best of both worlds with direct access to the sound or endless beach days. A sandy, sound-side beach is an inviting place for younger guests to play by the water, while adults can take a swim from the dock. A dock/pier and floating dock (shared between the other homes on the street) are available for boat moorage. Early risers can catch the sunrise on the beach, while the enclosed porch and sound-side deck are the perfect spot for afternoon lounging.

Two separate living areas inside the home provide plenty of room for the whole family to spread out. The eat-in full kitchen makes it easy to plan and prepare group meals which can be shared around the banquet-style dining table.

Loved watching the sunset on the dock everyday. Easy walk to the beach. Just wish the deck and deck furniture had been a little more swept and clean.

Felt like staying with a friend

This house had a ton of character and personal touches that really made it feel like you were staying with good friends. Great for kids to play on the sound side and fish off the dock, and a quick walk across the street to a quiet section of the beach. Having the two kitchens and some quiet places to tuck the kids away was fantastic, not to mention all the games and kids toys and safety features for children. Downside was the upstairs, which is the main floor, remained pretty hot during the day and night. Instructions said we should keep it no lower than 73, but it kept remotely getting reset to 75. The rental company was difficult to get in touch with. We were hoping to have another couple and their 3-year-old join us, but they said absolutely we could not exceed 11 people, even though the house has 6 bedrooms and a bed on the porch. We originally planned on bringing one dog, but she is old and we were considering leaving her home. Upon asking the rental company if we could possibly receive a refund for the pet fee, they said “it’s not our fault you selected pet on your search.” I also messaged to ask if the house had any beach toys/chairs, to which their response was “it’s not mentioned in the listing.” Turns out the house had a ton of those things. They also had misinformation about checkout. Text message said to leave the sheets on the bed, email said to strip the beds. The house and location was great! Rental company could be a little better.
