* UPDATING WINTER 2023, ALL NEW DESIGNER FURNISHING FOR LIVING AREAS UPSTAIRS; KITCHEN, LIVING AND DINING; new pics to come March 2023

From the early 1990s, renowned Seaside architect Richard Gibbs’ classic two-bedroom Charleston style cottage has been winning praise and return guests to its relaxed Forest Street location. The cottage features a much-admired deep porch (or “dogtrot”) style layout, with a large full-length screened breezeway linking the private bedrooms downstairs and the kitchen, dining and living areas upstairs. The cottage was fully renovated including new air conditioning system, ceiling fans throughout, and new laundry appliances in February 2023.

The street-facing entry door leads onto a screened porch with direct access to the two mirror-image bedrooms, each featuring a platform queen bed, new storage drawers, dimmable indirect uplighting, large shuttered window and smart TV. The inviting private ensuite bathroom for each bedroom includes a walk-in shower with frameless glass door and rain showerhead, new marble vanity, backlit vanity mirror, and heated floor. An outdoor shower is provided off the entry level porch.

Up an easy staircase, the second floor includes the renovated kitchen, dining and living areas, another full-length screened porch and Juliette balcony overlooking quiet Forest Street park. The premium kitchen is equipped with stainless Wolf oven and gas cooktop, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and Asko dishwasher. A new ample pantry and separate broom closet form a short passage from the kitchen to the completely new dining area with trestle table, benches and chairs. Suspended above the dining table from the 13’ ceiling is a dramatic chandelier. The living area, open to dining, is furnished with a comfortable new sofa, swivel chairs, and 50” Frame TV. There is a newly wallpapered powder room adjacent to the living and dining areas. The upper screened porch is furnished with a table and chairs perfect for morning coffee, and a classic bench with upholstered cushion.

Little Lodge is perfectly situated for experiencing all the best of vibrant Seaside, while also enjoying the wooded areas behind the cottage for strolling or jogging.

A backyard timber deck with gas barbecue, outdoor dining table, and picket fencing completes this compact venue, your vacation home while enjoying the Seaside beach, shops, and dining just steps from the cottage.

This cottage welcomes the four-legged members of your family. Whether your extra guest is a purse-sized Precious Muffin or an 80-lb Grand Marmaduke, your well-trained canine is accommodated at Little Lodge. The village grocery store, post office and bookstore have sidewalk water bowls and lead tie-downs for all visiting pets. A pet cleaning supplement will be included in your booking fee.

Great Management
The Homeowners Collection is awesome. When we arrived, there was an adorable beach tote and welcome kit waiting for us, and during our stay, they even hosted a cocktail reception with hors d'oeuvres and live music. You usually don’t get this sort of care and attention from a property management company. Our cottage was also clean and updated with everything we needed.

Seaside vacation
Location was great and it was a fun place for teens. Expensive resort and the $500+ VBRO booking fee was not expected. Overall a great experience but too expensive a vacation for us to return.

Nice location
The house was pet friendly which we wanted and was located near the seaside restaurants, shops, etc. The setup of the house was a little more difficult with the kitchen /living area upstairs and having an infant to carry up the stairs multiple times a day was tough. The TVs were fine and the bathrooms were nice. The house description said it could sleep 6 ..so glad we only had 4 adults. I think it would have been a crowd if we’d had 6 adults. Oversell we had a nice long weekend.

Dirt and Stains on Bedding
I don't think the cleaners washed ALL the bedding. There was dirt and other stains on the bedding and pillow shams. I didn't like that! We had to wash everything prior to sleeping.

Great location
This is a very nice, clean property with unique architectural touches. My kids loved the location! So close to all of the activities! Please note this property has access to seaside pools - NOT WATERCOLOR. Thank goodness (my mistake) we had friends with extra wristbands to get into that pool. The bikes are a voucher provided to go rent yourself- the bikes do not stay at the property. Also so grateful to bring my fur baby- please not the yard is not enclosed. Overall very nice property. Also note the two bedrooms are downstairs and the kitchen / living area with pullout couch are upstairs. This was fine for our family, but just want others to know if they are traveling with younger kids the stairs may be and issue. Thank you so much, we loved staying here.

Fall Stay in Seaside
We come to Seaside or another sleepy beach town on 30A every Fall. Lately we’ve been coming for 2 weeks and attempt to avoid the Fall Breakers. This year we had one crowded week and one quiet week. We love Seaside and always seem to find a pet friendly house to rent. My only complaint it seems every year is the not enough space. Professional photographers know the right angles and lighting to make rooms look spacious. Just be prepared the pictures are not always what you experience once you get there. This year Little Lodge was our house. The neighbors and neighborhood was great. Very good location and the property manager was very accommodating. It’s was way too small for me and my wife, 2 dogs, our 3 kids and grandson. That’s on me, no blame to the property owner or property Mgr. I’ll need to do better on research for a party that size. We look forward to coming again next Fall for our annual trip. We love Seaside on 30A.

Beautiful Property, Perfect for One or Two Couples
We absolutely loved this little cottage. A quick walk to everywhere in Seaside, it is the perfect place for a pair of couples or a family to enjoy this beachside community. The screen porch and sun roof are particularly special.

Wonderful location and great space
This Little Lodge is charming and a perfect home base for an idyllic week in Seaside. The space is functional and location perfect. They had two beach chairs, an umbrella, and sand toys. Great vacation - we will be back.
