About this property

Private Island - Soulfully Peaceful Access to Nature & Wildlife Watching

Located on a private island within the gates of the Colleton River Club*, this cottage sits on one of the prettiest, most unique sites in the Hilton Head area. The 'Devil's Elbow Cottage' is nestled among ancient Live Oak trees overlooking the marshes and waters of the Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge.
Enjoy the best of both worlds. Experience the Lowcountry Bluffton / Hilton Head region of years past yet be a short drive from all of the shopping and amenities of one of the world's foremost resort areas.

This very comfortable cottage has high ceilings and large windows that create a light atmosphere and lets you enjoy this special setting. Built in 1992 and recently updated, this little house sits adjacent to the 'main' house. They are two of only three houses on the island.

Listen to the warblers in the oaks and the snapping shrimp in the marsh below as you doze off for your afternoon nap on the screened porch. Set the crab trap from the dock or cast a net for shrimp and enjoy the seafood bounty of the Lowcountry. Sight fish for Redfish from a kayak on the flats of the adjacent islands. See hhionthefly on youtube for fishing video filmed in our back yard!

If the natural world gets to be too much for you it is a ten minute drive to highway 278 and all of the shopping, dining, golf and beaches you could desire. Visit the galleries of Bluffton's old town. Take the beautiful drive to Charleston or spend a day in Savannah or Beaufort.

*Colleton River Club is a private community and the amenities are for the use of members and their guests only.

Unique and relaxing property

Loved being able to leave the rush behind and escape to this property! We used the provided cooler daily on our excursions and when we returned enjoyed quiet peaceful walks. Hosts were always prompt with replies to our questions. The screened porch was a favorite spot to listen to the birds and marsh life, a great experience!

Beautiful Location

We had a fantastic stay at Peter's cottage. Beautiful location, quiet, secluded, and comfortable. It is away from everything and at the same time convenient to shopping, restaurants, and more. Would love to come back

Great low country cabin

We really enjoyed our stay - beautiful house right on the water. Exactly as advertised. Nicely secluded but close to many things to do in Bluffton. Easy to communicate with the owner.
