The Pink cottage on West Beach, water front , short walk to beach

The Pink Cottage started as a fishing shack in 1955, the year after hurricane Hazel. In 1968 the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom were added. Also the back porch was enclosed and the kitchen was added including a large deck facing the water. In 2021 the shack was completely renovated and became The Pink Cottage. An enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water was added. The kitchen is fully furnished including a dishwasher. The pink cottage overlooks Montgomery Slough with its tidal creek where at low tide the many species of birds feed, at high tide watch for the dolphins. You may access the Slough at 17th Place West where you can catch your own shrimp, crab, or just explore the marsh with all its abundant life. You can also launch your kayak from this access. You don't have to worry about beach parking - it is just a short walk to the beach.

Sweet Cottage

Charming cottage with everything you could possibly need - hosts were responsive to communication and made the Pink Cottage an easy choice for our anniversary weekend. Clean and comfortable, close to everything, could have harvested oysters from the marsh if we wanted to- the hardest part was leaving!

Great stay

House is very clean, nicely decorated and well suited to a couple or small family. We loved the location right on the marsh and enjoyed watching the birds. The beach access is also very convenient. The owners were very nice and helpful before/during our stay. We only regret we didn't book a full week!

Anniversary

If you want a great place to stay for rest and relaxation this is where you need to be. The sunset is beautiful and watching the dolphins play is beautiful to watch as well! The cottage has everything you need to feel at home. We are looking forward to coming back! Thank you John and Sarah!

Second time as good as the first!!

Staying at the Pink Cottage is an island experience you don't get with just any rental. The house is amazing, extremely clean, decorated beautifully and has all the comforts of home. The views from the back looking at the "marsh" is so wonderful and so peaceful. Honestly the walk to the beach is short and super easy which is a plus when not staying ocean front. John and Sarah are great host! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Fabulous Cottage by the Sea

We spent 3 nights here and absolutely loved this place. It is bigger on the inside than it appears outside. It is cozy, charming, well furnished, had quality linens, was impeccably clean, and decorated beautifully. Plus there are stunning sunsets from the back deck where there is also nice outdoor shower. John and Sarah the owners live next door and were extremely helpful and provided kayaks for us to launch from their doc. It was a very short 5 min walk to the beach in a relatively quiet area in OKI. Awesome rental for a small group (4 or less). Highly recommend.

Spectacular

The cottage’s location is second to none. The experience of both the marsh and beach allowed our family to spend much needed quality time together surrounded by natural, coastal Carolina. The Wiley’s have truly allowed us to feel at home with an incredible cottage, phenomenal deck, and well stocked kitchen (and charcoal grill) so we could cook for ourselves and never miss a sunrise or sunset. They can’t be thanked enough for this experience. We will definitely be coming back.

We love the pink cottage!

This house and the hosts are wonderful! The cottage is so fresh and beautifully maintained with thoughtful provisions at our fingertips (like binoculars for nature watching). We loved getting to meet the Wileys and appreciated how cozy this property was. The backyard access to the marsh is beautiful - I was able to enjoy a couple sunrises on the water in peace. The beach access is a short walk and was very easy for us with a light haul and a couple kids in tow. We set up a tent on the beach in the morning and returned to the ocean after lunch at the cottage. Also, the outdoor shower was a hit with our whole family - clean and plumbed with hot water! This was our first visit to OKI and we would love to come back next summer!

We had a wonderful stay at the Pink House.The house and furnishings are prettier than the photos and the views of the ever-changing marsh exceeded our expectations. The owners live next door and were available right away if we needed anything, but we still felt we had a private place of our own. The kitchen is very well stocked, including coffee (and decaf). If you want beach chairs and umbrellas you can rent them from a local company, but plan ahead if it’s the busy season, and if you prefer big beach towels, you might want to pack some. There are rocking chairs on the porch facing the marsh where you can relax and enjoy plenty of bird watching. It’s an easy 2-3 block walk down residential roads to get to the beach, which was quiet and absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed long walks on the beach, and one evening we were lucky to witness tiny hatching sea turtles scrambling into the surf. The Pink House is one of my favorite places we’ve stayed and we hope to return soon.

Pink House is great place to stay.

The Pink House has everything you need for a vacation stay and was very clean. The Hosts were helpful and friendly. View was awesome from back deck and, it was just a short walk to the beach. Definitely hope to have a chance to return.

Perfection

We loved our stay at the Pink Cottage. The location was perfection, the view of the marsh & intercoastal from the back deck was amazing. The house itself was immaculate & had everything you could possibly need. Thank you again for a great stay, John!

Heaven on Earth

I can't say enough about this amazing beach cottage. The cottage itself is so quaint and nicely decorated with old beach charm.The cottage is so clean and very well taken care of. Sitting on the title marsh this property has views that are breath taking, both sunrise and sunset here are gorgeous . Beach access is an easy short walk. Having the property owners next door was great. Can't wait to come back again soon!
