Fabulously Updated 3 BR/2BA Cottage, Pet Friendly w/ fee, Amenity Cards Included!

This beautiful cottage and Seabrook Island are the perfect place to create lasting family memories!!

Happy Turtle Cottage, shaded by beautiful moss-draped live oak trees, is located in the Summer Wind neighborhood of Seabrook Island. Summer Wind Cottages are located just one mile from the island's main Beach Club area, which features outdoor pools, outdoor and indoor restaurants, two golf courses, and multiple beach boardwalks. Pelican Beach, a short ½ mile walk, is a great place to watch the sun set, spot dolphins or search for shells. North Beach and its wide-open sand beach is just a short bike ride away! Happy Turtle Cottage provides a truly peaceful retreat while being close to so many of Seabrook Island's great amenities.

The cottage was completely renovated in May 2022. The beautifully updated and fully stocked kitchen features new stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a full-size pantry, quartzite countertops and a beautiful tile backsplash. The table in the open vaulted-ceiling dining area comfortably seats 7. The laundry room is centrally located for the convenience of all guests.

The living area with vaulted ceilings, all new furnishings, and 75-inch 4KTV (streaming Hulu Live, Disney+, and ESPN+), is the perfect spot to gather. Relax with the family, enjoy an evening movie or catch up with your favorite sports team. As an added bonus, there is a large screened-in porch off of the living area, complete with lounge seating, an additional dining area, and new wall-mounted HDTV. This is the perfect place to enjoy the cool island breezes! The rear deck has Polywood seating, a Weber grill and views of the iconic moss-draped live oak trees.

There are three bedrooms in this cottage. The first is the owner's bedroom with a king bed, walk-in closet, wall-mounted HDTV, en-suite bath and access to the screened-in porch. The renovated owner's bath has a custom tiled walk-in shower and double vanity. The two guest bedrooms are on the opposite side of the cottage, providing privacy for guests. The guest bedrooms share the renovated hall bath, which has a tub/shower combo with deep soaker tub and custom tile surround. The rear guest bedroom has a queen bed, wall mounted HDTV, and access to the rear deck. The front guest bedroom has a twin-over-full bunk bed and HDTV.

Under the cottage you will find a screened-in rec room complete with ping pong table, seating and a wall mounted HDTV. A fabulous outdoor space to have fun with the whole family! There is also a covered carport with room for 2 vehicles, and driveway space for one additional vehicle*.

Up to (2) dogs are welcome to join you on your trip, as long as they are under 25 pounds each and hypo-allergenic breeds! Additional pet fees do apply at a $35/day/pet additional fee.

Wonderful cottage on Seabrook Island

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy Turtle Cottage. The house is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything that you need to enjoy your stay at Seabrook Island. We loved the back screened in porch to enjoy our meals, watch rv and to relax. The bathrooms are nicely updated. The kitchen has everything you need with newer appliances. The bedrooms are comfortable with a tv in every room. The family room has a large tv with and comfortable furniture. We will definitely be back to enjoy another week at this cottage!
