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.
