Spacious family home w unobstructed ocean views!

On March 28, 2024 we became aware that this property is being affected by nearby construction.  You may experience unpleasant environmental factors such as noise, vibrations, and even light pollution during your stay during hours of permitted construction which are outlined as 8:00AM – 6:00PM, Monday through Saturday.  We deeply regret the inconvenience but appreciate your kind understanding that these factors are not under the control of the homeowners or our management company.  Please enjoy your visit and keep a respectful distance around areas where workers are present.

“Place Cottage” is the place to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing family vacation. This beautifully furnished 6-bedroom, 3 bath single family home has unobstructed views of the ocean and a roof top deck that offers panoramic views of the beach. The expansive outdoor space is perfectly suited for grilling out, entertaining family, or a game of corn hole. The private road with no public parking will make you feel as though you have the beach to yourself and there is a semi-private path that leads to the least crowded part of the island. This home has a lot to offer!

The first living level features a bonus living space that includes a queen sleeper sofa. The living room is outfitted with a large flatscreen TV that includes basic cable service and some streaming channels. The first guest room is furnished with a pyramid bunk bed (twin over full) and includes a twin-size trundle bed to accommodate additional guests. A second bunk room features a traditional bunk bed (twin over twin), a pyramid bunk bed (twin over full) and each bunk includes a twin trundle bed. A full bathroom makes this space a perfect in-law suite, getaway for teenagers, or accommodate for anyone who wants a little more privacy. Relax outside under the covered porch area in the shade or venture up to the main deck to take in the sunshine.

Take the spiral staircase up to the main living level to join in on the stunning views and enjoy the large gathering space. An open floor plan makes the great room an exceptional place to congregate for movie nights, family dinners, or evening board games. The living room offers several cozy seating options and a 65-inch roku TV. Double sliding glass doors lead out to the ocean facing deck and provide the perfect back drop for your favorite home cooked meal. An exterior spiral staircase will guide you to the roof top deck with endless breezes and expansive views. Enjoy lounging around in the sunshine, outdoor dining, or rocking in the breeze with your favorite cold beverage.

Down the hall you will find two bathrooms that serve the four bedrooms on the main level. The first guest room has a large king bed and offers a roku TV and roll away twin bed for additional occupants. Next door is the primary bedroom which sports a king bed. The primary bedroom features direct access to the shared hall bathroom and is outfitted with a 43-inch roku TV. Across the hall are two additional guest bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed. These two guest rooms share access to a jack and jill bathroom and are both furnished with Roku TV’s. Each bedroom on the main floor houses a stow away twin-size bed that can be used to accommodate families or groups with varying bedding configuration needs.

Although “Place Cottage” is technically the third house back from the beach front, the unique staggered lots on the north end of the island ensure picture perfect views and a greater feeling of privacy. With ample parking, outdoor space to relax and play in the sun, multiple living levels, your family will not be disappointed by this vacation spot. So, pack your bags and make this unique home your new family tradition!

Its an excellent property, very enjoyable deck with hammock and great ocean view. Easy access to beach. Only draw back with water pressure and hot water when multiple taps are in use. Apart from this, everything is good including checkin and checkout process.

The house served our family very well. It could have been a bit cleaner but was ok. Rental agent was very quick to respond to our questions and needs. Our stay there helped our family get through a difficult week preparing for and attending the funeral of our mother. We’d definitely would rent the home again for a happier occasion.

I booked this house for my family of 17.. we had plenty of space for everyone! Babies all the way to 55 years old were comfortable and felt at home. The house is fully stocked and furnished with every need and desire you can think of. We had a family game night using the hutch full of games, played cornhole in the yard while the kids played Tball and splashed in the kiddie pool and even used provided boogie boards and chairs for a few fun filled days on the beach. To top it all off we enjoyed the amazing views from the ocean facing deck with hammock and the roof top porch!! The walk to the beach was a breeze and was so convenient we didn’t even get in the car for other entertainment until the fourth day of our visit. We loved this rental property so much we joked about making an offer to purchase it!! This will definitely be our new family vacation spot!

There was no mention of the major construction project located right off of the main outdoor living area. This was very disappointing since this is the spot where we would have liked to spend the majority of our time. Lots of things in the home that simply did not work properly or were broken.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful! Beautiful morning views, amazing evenings! This house accommodates! Our family was at max capacity. Beds, liens,towels, dishes, cookware, BULK everything! Our family came from Missouri, Florida, and the Carolinas. Our kids enjoyed having their own living space as well as the adults. Morning coffee on the rooftop evening shell hunting on the beach, volleyball in the yard! Memories made for a life time! Our family started their first family tradition in the beautiful house. We appreciate the accommodations, and amenities. This house does not disappoint at all!

4/10

The house is in a great location right by the beach with plenty of places to stay. It’s great for a large group to stay together with plenty of beds. However, there was an odor that required to ventilate the whole house when we arrived and the floors looked like they had not been vacuumed prior to arriving. Furthermore, the bathrooms had rust accumulating on the shower and faucet which could easily be cleaned by a steel brush, but looked unattended for some time. Finally, it was missing the basics such as multiple rolls of toilet paper, bathroom mats, which pose a slipping risk, and although it was indicated prior, having to rent sheets from the property company or bring your own felt kind of weird. This place appears to be a rental property with an agency that manages multiple properties so it’s not surprising that it received the bare minimum to keep it in rental condition.,

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we booked the house, there were comments referring to the age of the appliances. We were only staying three nights so we thought we didn't need anything extravagant. We arrived at the property to find the kitchen wasn't very clean. We recleaned it ourselves and then cooked dinner for 15 guests. As we finished loading the dishwasher, we realized that the door didn't close all the way, therefore it wouldn't wash the dishes. I called the 24/7 emergency maintenance line and they said they'd have someone out first thing in the morning. No one ever called or came by, so I called two more times and someone finally came at 5pm. He said they knew about the dishwasher being broken and never told us. We also battled an oven that overheated, so we bought paper plates and got take out for the rest of the weekend. Until these issues are fixed and you have confirmed with the real estate company, I would not recommend this property. The location is great and the house has a great outdoor space.

Upon checkin there was clothes and towel left behind the door on a hook. Trash in under beds and chairs. With a 8 month old baby they find all the trash. All in all a good trip and awesome location just a little unclean

Grandparents, parents and kids had a fantastic time at Cottage Place! It was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 6 teens. Perfect combination of hangout space and (upstairs, downstairs, decks and yard) and private space in the 6 nice sized bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals and the large dining room table allowed us all to eat together! The view was spectacular from the decks and inside the house. The walk to the almost private beach was short and easy for all. Just a tip, there is a gas grill and drink fridges on both floors! We would love to return next summer!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was in a great location with a great view, but overall the home could use some TLC. The living area was definitely not clean. There was a whole beach worth of sand underneath the area rug. Because of Hurricane Ian they had to place all of the outdoor furniture in the living room which made the rug askew and wouldn’t lie flat. The rug pad underneath was of no help. It is old and nasty. The rug needs to be replaced. Most importantly, the home was not toddler friendly, which needs to be said in the rental description. The spiral staircase to the basement/garage was not safe for toddlers or the elderly. The spindles are set too wide apart and a toddler can fit through to fall to the basement. We didn’t find the outside staircase to get inside until the next day because of the rain when we arrived. We wanted to switch houses when we arrived because the fridge smelled like fish and the bathrooms are outdated and had a distinctive smell. We were scared for our toddlers safety. When I told them they should advise that the house isn’t safe for kids they asked me is I had asked them if it was kid friendly when I booked the house. No, but we rented a crib through them as well as listed the kids when we booked the house.

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is not accurately represented based on the photos. It is in MAJOR need of some upkeep. The bathrooms are in terrible condition with mold, damages, and are just very dirty. It seems as though no one has refurbished this place in the past 20 years. Dead bugs all over the basement level. If it rains, the outside lower patio stays flooded for days so you have to sweep the water away if you want to use the seating area/grill. The air vents seem to have not been cleaned since the place was built from the large clumps of dust coming out of the AC vents. I will never rent from this company again if this is the standard of homes they provide for their $1800/night rentals. You would think the company would vet the house before they offer it up for rent.

There were enough sleeping accommodations for our guests and plenty of room for drop ins. The view was outstanding. The beautiful stainless steel kitchen appliances were attractive but were worn and in need of attention. Despite this, I would highly recommend this location for a vacation rental.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect home for our family. Plenty of space for everyone, we had 17, the house had everything we needed and a view that was just amazing to see every morning . The deck was so relaxing wish we could have enjoyed more but we had a bit of rain. Although we didn’t use them the house came with tons of games for bad weather. There were a few minor recommendations for repairs mainly due to normal wear I’d say and sent an email. I would just ask that the dryer be replaced it’s extremely loud and only works on 1 setting. I highly recommend this home for your vacation. Bonus was tons of parking space and everyone loved the crows nest in the morning and evening!

Perfect size yard for our children and steps away from the beach. Bedrooms were updated 2 years ago which made sleeping even better. Would really like for owners to fix bathrooms and kitchen. Need to be cleaned and updated if the cost continues to go up. Otherwise we love our week stay at Place Cottage.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place has seen better days. I rented this cottage in 2018 and 2019, and the carpet in master bedroom is still patched (watch your step else fiberglass like fibers will stick in your feet!). Plaster in the master bathroom is peeling off. Kitchen cabinet clutter is rampant and there's an entertainment center crammed full of far too many games, which had to be removed to make room for nonperishable items. Deck furniture is too large, too antiquated and in poor condition. I could go on, but I only allow so much time for a review.BTW...On two separate occasions, I asked someone at Bryant Real Estate to help me find another cottage for the same week 2021 but never heard from either of them. That said, I rented #6 Scotch Bonnet from Intercoastal Realty.

The location really can't be beat. The bathrooms on the top floor could use some work both in terms of aesthetics and to ensure their proper functioning. But honestly, the house had everything needed and then some. We loved our weekend there and would absolutely rent again!

Kitchen silverware, dishes, pots and pans needed to be cleaned before we used them. There were many bugs (alive) in the lower level! Lower level refrigerator very noisy.
