About this property

Adorable waterfront cottage with a private dock on the Davis Canal located 2 short blocks to the beach. Kick up your feet and relax with your family and furry friend. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is conveniently located near the Middleton Avenue bridge so it makes getting to the beach a breeze. It has a large back yard that leads to its own dock where you can fish or launch a small boat, kayak, or paddleboard to explore the beautiful, serene and wildlife-filled waterway. We have been told it’s one of the best spots for fishing on the canal! If lounging on the beach or playing in the ocean is your desire, take a quick 5 minute walk across the bridge and you are there. There is a private hot water shower to wash off the sand when you return.

The kitchen was updated in 2021, and is fully stocked. The master bedroom features a king bed and an en-suite full bathroom. The middle bedroom has a queen bed and 2 closets. The bunk room has two bunk beds and a large closet full of games and toys. There is also a pack and play, a toddler bed and a small cot in the closets if needed. Additionally, the sun room has a pull out couch with a full sized bed. All beds have comforters and fully enclosed, zippered mattress pads and pillows with covers. Linens and Towels are provided.

The cottage has central HVAC and full sized washer and dryer. Amenities include smart TVs with local channels and Netflix as well as DVD players and dual band WiFi. There is a charcoal grill and a wagon to haul your beach stuff. The deck and outdoor shower were completely replaced in 2020. In 2021 we added a backyard picnic table and fully fenced in backyard!

Dogs allowed, $250 fee for 1 dog max. Please select "Pets" when booking!

Linens and towels are provided.

You will not be disappointed with this rental and will want to keep coming back every year!

Best little spot on the island!

This was our second stay here and Vinnie and Megan didn’t disappoint. The property was very clean and well kept. They answered emails immediately. We couldn’t ask for better hosts and with the location we will always rent this place from them. The kids absolutely love it and the older ones too! Thanks again Vinnie and Megan! Y’all are the best!

Home Away from Home

This home was more than we could have asked for. It was so comfortable, roomy, the air conditioning was incredible. The beds were comfortable. The yard was perfect for our pup and our kiddos. Our kids had fun for hours on the dock, fishing and crabbing! stores and restaurants minutes away. Super short walk/ride to the beach. Can’t say enough!

Perfect place and location for a family stay

We were pleased to find the place exactly as we expected and even better! We knew from the listing that Vinny and Megan had gone to great lengths to make this place like home away from home. But so many toys and games for the kids, a small library for adults…and the most well stocked kitchen of any place we ever rented! We had a couple of minor issues upon check in and Vinny was so quick to respond, even coming out Sunday morning to take care of things. We loved this place for our family vacation and will definitely be the go to in the future. Thanks Vinny and Megan!

What makes this property unique

Our house allows for the best of all aspects of a coastal vacation. Private, waterfront, minutes from the beach, ability to have a boat, bring children and pets AND enough room to spread out and relax. It is a great alternative to a crowded hotel or beach condo complex.
