Come explore Elephant Walk, a dog-friendly compound, walkable to beach and town, designed to make memories for your group. It provides multiple gathering spots both outside and in while ensuring ample privacy at the same time. Our Main House offers giant living spaces to accommodate the whole group and provides 4 very large bedrooms and 3 baths. On the same grounds, there are 5 smaller cottages that offer full kitchens/bathrooms/living spaces and house 1-2 bedrooms each. If you would like to rent the Main House as well as 1+ cottages, please see our VRBO links to the other cottages or message me to check on availability. Host your retreat, wedding party, or reunion here for an unforgettable experience!We allow large group bookings only (Main House + at least 2 cottages) until late Fall of each year at which point we’ll open up the calendar for anyone to reserve the house and cottages separately and allow for instant booking. Please message us for details, and we will respond within 24 hours.Much work has been done to this compound since we bought it in Jan 2019. Stay tuned to this as we will update pictures as changes are made as well as provide more updates we’ll make over the coming years.*2024 updates from a home maintenance standpoint:-Entire property: new exterior paint, parking signs for all of the cottages, new ceiling fans-Main House: gas grill added to charcoal grill option, new screened porch furniture and ceiling (no leaks!), kitchen backsplash, new balcony off primary bedroom-Cottage 2: electrical overhaul to fix sporadic outages-Cottage 3: expanded private enclosed yard-Cottage 4: new basketball hoop-Cottage 5: kitchen refresh with new countertops and kitchen sink**Everyone must review the rental agreement which is comprehensive: lists the terms of the rental agreement, the dog waiver (if you are bringing a dog), provides suggested packing items, lists the hot tub rules (for Main House only).**Please designate upon checking out if you are bringing a dog so you can have the pet fee added onto your final total.**Note that Cottage 1 shares a wall with the far hallway corner of the Main House but as of 2022, we’ve added insulation and other measures to ensure noise transfer is drastically minimized. Cottage 1 and 2 used to have an interior door that locked but it was the source of noise transfer so in Spring of 2022, we closed up that door and added insulation in the units to minimize noise transfer. Cottages 4 and 5 share no walls as they stand alone on the property. All cottages have a pull out couch, and the Main House has 2 pull out couches, one in each king bedroom.**From Memorial Day to Labor Day we require 3 night minimum stay, but a 7 night stay (Fri-Fri) is required in the heart of the summer, from June through beginning of August unless the week is already broken up.**Well behaved dogs are welcome. Pets are required to be on leash, and you are required to pick up after them or fee will be assessed.**Note our suggested packing items we provide right before your arrival. Starter paper towels, toilet paper, and garbage bags are provided but you’ll have to bring your own after the starters. We don’t do this because we’re cheap or insensitive. We do this because we are not often in the area to run these kinds of things over, and we also like for guests to be respectful of the environment which we’ve noticed happens more often when guests bring their own disposable supplies. Thank you for your understanding!Thank you for visiting, we hope you choose Elephant Walk for your next group get-away! Email us with any questions, and we’ll answer any questions within 24 hours.The links to the other units on the property are as follows:Elephant Walk- Main House: www.vrbo.com/1519363Elephant Walk- Cottage 1: www.vrbo.com/1519692Elephant Walk- Cottage 2: www.vrbo.com/1519733Elephant Walk- Cottage 3: www.vrbo.com/1519782Elephant Walk- Cottage 4: www.vrbo.com/1519804Elephant Walk- Cottage 5: www.vrbo.com/1519825Cottage 4 is a stand alone cottage with private deck and reserved parking.
