Newer Construction - Short Walk to Beach - Hot Tub/Large Pool - 16' x 32'

Newer Construction! Refreshing open floor plan! Nestled at the end of the drive with parking for 5 cars (max). Rocking chair front porch leads to light and airy kitchen (anchored with a huge blue island), dining area and vaulted great room. Shiplap walls throughout the main living area, 8' doors, owner's suite and additional bedroom on main, hardwood floors throughout. Convenient laundry room w/cabinetry and sink. Kitchen w/farm-style sink, stainless appliances, an abundance of cabinetry and lots of counter space. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you! Pantry barn-style door leads to walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving. Dining table offers seating for 10, Island offers seating for 6. Oversized screened porch with patio furniture and a TV leads to a large covered porch with grill and additional seating area - All overlooking the lagoon-style pool and hot tub. Fenced backyard fully equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas and tables & chairs. Firepit for gathering on those cool evening nights (bring your own wood). The house is on a whole-house water filtration system. Note: the interior fireplace is for looks-only. It does not function.

**Minimum age of renter is 35 years old, ID required at time of reservation.**
**Property Damage Deposit is $1500.00**

Bedrooms: Owner's Suite and an additional bedroom on the main. The owners suite has a vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan and double French doors leading to covered back porch. Private bath offers double vanities with lighted vanity mirror, oversized shower w/dual shower heads, separate water closet, and large walk-in closet. Additional bedroom on main has access to half bath but will have to either use owner's suite shower or upstairs shower. Upstairs offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 with attached full bathrooms, one king bedroom is across the hall from the bathroom. All upstairs bedrooms have TVs with cable, ceiling fans, canned lights and hardwood floors.

Outdoor entertainment: The lagoon-style pool with hot tub is 16' x 32' and has 4 pool-width sized stairs- perfect if you just want to sit and watch everyone play. The pool can be heated for an additional $200 per day however we would need advanced notice at time of final payment so we can plan for it. The fire pit is great for relaxing in the evening (bring your own firewood) and is accented with outdoor lighting. A large TV is mounted on the screened porch for easy viewing. We have a homemade game board barrel table for checkers. We also have books, cards and puzzles.

Location: We're conveniently located at the corner of Arnold and Demere (pronounced De-ma-ree). We are less than 1/2 a mile to the beach (Massengale Park which is an access point to East Beach, has bathrooms, shaded picnic tables and play ground) and 1 mile to The Village (quaint square with shopping, dining and the pier). Demere park is across the street with a playground, skate park and baseball field - great for play. Fiddlers, Crab Daddy's, Crab Trap, The Still, Beachcomber BBQ & Grill, Barrier Island Brewery and bicycle rentals are located at the next corner on Arnold and Ocean Blvd. King and Prince is at the end of Arnold (just one block further). "The Friendly" gas station is just down the street from us and is great for those last minute items you forgot (butter, milk, firewood and the like). Golf cart rentals are available in The Village and make the stay even more enjoyable.

We built this home with our family in mind. We hope you enjoy your stay and make it an annual tradition to come again. We entrust our home to you and ask that you take great care of it. We're glad you chose to spend your vacation time at the Blue Island Cottage.

Note: we do not rent the property for the GA/FL Game weekend.

Family gathering for a wedding

This home is beautiful! Many thoughtful extras to ensure that your visit is very comfortable (good beds too!). One example: we lost power due to the hurricane but we still had nightlights (even in the bathrooms) because the owners added rechargeable large lights - wow. Wonderful location & kind owner who checked in to make sure we had what we needed during the outage. THANK YOU!!
