Rustic & Cozy Island Original Cottage on the Beach- Bamboo Apts. C2Our five unit property was featured in the January/February 2020 issue of Southern Living, and we are honored and thrilled!Welcome to our Cottage! This listing is the north side of the duplex. If you are looking for a simple, quiet, stress-free place to enjoy the beach, this is it. It’s not a fancy condo– no long hallways, distant parking, elevators, or crowds. Best of all, the cottage is beachfront, so there are no streets to cross– just a sandy walk through the dunes. The Cottage is a duplex, and this listing is for the smaller side. VRBO #77482 will show you the larger side. The two sides share a screened porch facing the beach.The cottage was constructed in 1916 or so, as a caretaker’s home for a larger house which is now gone. It has been carefully maintained and updated, but has retained the charm of a bygone era.The interior walls are heart pine, and so are the floors, refinished by hand. Furnishings have been chosen for comfort– a rattan recliner and matching pillow top queen size sleeper sofa in the living room, dining table for two, and king size bed in the bedroom.It’s shaded by ancient Australian pine trees and has a comfortable shared screened porch for a front-row view of the sunsets and stars. With the windows open at night, you can hear the surf!Walk directly out the screen porch door, and down to the beach–no streets to cross. Or, sit out on the patio and enjoy your coffee and newspaper, or cocktails. Our guests tell us that the best part of the patio area, (besides the view) is it’s size– plenty of room for spreading out.We are located a block away from the Cafe on the Beach, convenient for all-you-can-eat pancake breakfasts, quick lunches, and relaxing dinners. The beach-front playground is a block and a half away. Take the free trolley and see the rest of the island.If you need more room, the other side of the duplex, VRBO 77482 is available.
