About this property

Beautiful 7 Bed, 7 Bath, Sea Island Cottage, with New Pool, 1 Block to Beach

Welcome to Resurrection Fern Cottage—appropriately named that after the gorgeous and resilient ferns that line the gorgeous grand tabby staircase leading to the main entrance of the home. This beautiful, classic Sea Island cottage is the perfect place to stay to enjoy true island living. Due it’s the large size, this 7-bedroom, 7 bathroom house is the perfect fit for a number of groups, including a multi-generational family vacation, family friends meeting up, a group that is here for an event that wants to be together and have lots of living space, or for several couples. This property features a brand-new pool in the backyard, new landscaping, and is located on Oglethorpe drive, less than a block from the 36th street beach access, making it the ideal spot to vacation on Sea Island. This house is located one home away from the entry to Ocean Forest making it a wonderful place to stay if you are attending a wedding, event, or golf tournament there.

This three-story home is ideally laid out to give you plenty of living space and the ability to spread out the group when it comes to sleeping arrangements. The classic tabby staircase leads you to the second floor of the home, although guests can access the home from the first floor, directly below. The second floor front porch has four rocking chairs and two beautiful benches to enjoy the ocean breeze and a drink outside. The second floor opens up into the main living space, which gives way to a formal living room that is decorated with classic antiques and gorgeous art, that is displayed throughout the home. This is a great option for a separate sitting room for adults. Across from the living room is the dining room, which showcases a gorgeous, antique dining table that is set up for 6 people but can easily seat 8. This elegant dining room contains warm antiques and gorgeous art, perfect for a nice dinner at home or even for having a private chef cook for you during your trip. The kitchen features quartz counter tops, a brand-new fridge and freezer, two ovens, an under counter ice maker and all stainless-steel appliances. This space has lots of natural light and is adjacent to the Great Room that also features a dining table for 6 people and a flat screen TV. This room has a coastal feel since it is flooded with natural light, is partially made of tabby, and displays gorgeous views of the pool and backyard. The second floor is rounded out with the spacious master suite that has a king bed, a gorgeous wooden antique desk with leather inlay, and a flatscreen TV. The en-suite master bathroom includes dual vanities and a shower.

Upstairs is the third floor, which has 3 bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The first upstairs bedroom has a gorgeous, 4-poster antique bed with coordinating antiques throughout the room, and the bathroom features a combination shower and tub. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and a quaint coastal vibe with beautiful white wicker furniture. The bathroom features a combination shower and tub. The final upstairs bedroom is the most spacious and is filled with tons of natural lights with the 4 dormers featured in this suite. The bedroom features a king bed, TV, and an en-suite bathroom with a combination shower and tub.

The first floor of the home is similar to the third floor, with three bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, and additional living space. The first downstairs bedroom is warm and cozy with a touch of tabby and features a king bed and the bathroom has a shower. The second downstairs bedroom has two twin beds, a similar touch of tabby, and the bathroom has a shower. The final downstairs bedroom is cozy and quaint, and features a twin bed, with a twin trundle bed underneath. This room also has an en-suite bathroom with a shower. One of the highlights of the first floor is the den with the pool table, flat screen tv and lots of seating. This space is a popular hangout for teenagers and young adults. The first floor is rounded out with the laundry area. There is a garage, but it is not accessible to renters. The layout of the home makes it easy to house one family on the third floor, one family on the first floor, and one couple in the master suite on the second floor.

The outdoor living space is one of the highlights of the home. Just off the kitchen, on the second floor is a patio that features a grill and an outdoor dining table—perfect for al fresco dining or happy hour. From there, you can use the stairs to access the pool and backyard, or it can be accessed from the downstairs backdoor. The pool is one of the highlights of the home, making it a wonderful gathering space. The pool starts with a sun shelf, ideal for tanning or playing with young children, and then gets deeper and is a great size for a group. The backyard is well landscaped and has lush green grass, perfect for playing games with kids or letting your dog run around.

Not only is this a wonderful home to choose for vacation, but Sea Island has long been a top vacation spot in the US as a 5-star, private island that features 5 miles of coastline. Luxurious amenities range from the world renown Cloister, Lodge, Spa, 2 PGA Tour Championship Courses (Seaside and Plantation), the world’s largest Golf Performance Center, luxurious and spacious Fitness Center and Tennis Center with clay courts, Shooting School, Yacht Club, incredible restaurants, Beach Club and shops throughout Sea Island’s property. There truly is something for everyone at Sea Island, whether it is engaging in the plethora of outdoor activities, enjoying the expansive private beach, bowling with the family, or playing the legendary formal Bingo in the Ballroom. Sea Island has long been known as an idyllic and peaceful island, making it perfect for vacation, and this house provides a wonderful setting for your next beach trip.

Option to Purchase Sea Island Temporary Membership Cards:
The home owner has a Sea Island Membership, thus Temporary Membership Cards can be arranged and purchased for renters, which grants them access to all Sea Island Amenities and gives them the ability to book activities, dining, spa, golf, etc with Sea Island. If the guest chooses to purchase temporary membership cards, the guest is charged the fees, as shown below:

Adults (26+): $175 per adult, per day
Children Under 26: $60 per child per day. Children are considered under 26 years old, not married, immediate children. (2 free children’s cards are provided per family, with the purchase of at least 1 adult card, per family that day.)

Guests can pick and choose who in the group gets cards, and on what days. The cards do not have to be consecutive. One person can book up to two tee times and one dining reservation for the same day with one card. Please reach out if you have questions or want more information on how temp member cards work.

Example: A Family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 children under 26 will be charged the following on a daily basis for the days that they opt to purchase temp member cards: $175 per adult, per day and nothing for their 2 children, so their total would be $350 per day. If a family has 3 children under 26, the 3rd child would incur an additional $60 per day charge, for total of $410 per day to have temporary membership cards for everyone. Children under 7 are free and cannot have their own card. Children can receive their own card once they turn 7.

Pet Policy: One dog (that is a non-aggressive breed or mix, per insurance standards) is permitted per stay with a $250 pet fee, and the dog type must be approved prior to booking. Renters are only permitted to have one dog during their stay.

Hesitate to give a good review!
The reason I almost hesitate to give a good review is that I'm afraid the property will become too difficult to book again. Having honeymooned in the Golden Isles 40 years ago and returning every year since, we have now grown to a family of 11 including 5 grandchildren. We have stayed in every property imaginable- hotels, condos and homes. None of them adequately fit our family until our stay here. Everything was perfect! Three floors gave three families plenty of privacy while the fantastic new pool brought us all together. And there were days on the beach when it felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves! Being able to purchase temporary memberships to The Cloister and all its facilities was icing on the cake. Wendy was an absolute joy to deal with. She made the process so easy and was available whenever we had a question. Like I said, I almost hesitate to give this review. But since I went ahead and made reservations for next year, I guess I'm safe.
