Curlew Cottage • 80 Steps to Private Beach Access • Walk to Coligny
Welcome to Curlew Cottage! This beautifully renovated 50`s beach house is a rare find. It is nestled 4 houses from the beach in a canopy of trees with a large screened porch for outdoor living. The cottage is 2 blocks north of Coligny Plaza, with many dining options, live music and hundreds of shops. It is 80 steps to the pristine sands of the Atlantic Ocean through a beach access shared by only 10 homes, so close to everything but away from the crowds! One dog is allowed on a case by case basis. STR Permit #074212
This original 1950’s cottage was fully renovated in 2024 top to bottom with all the comforts of home provided with luxury finishes. Inside you will find an open concept eat in kitchen with everything you need to cook a gourmet meal or simply heat up leftovers in the air fryer. There is seating for 5 at the kitchen island overlooking the living area with a beautiful sectional sofa oversized ottoman and 50` smart TV.
One of the most incredible things about booking the Cottage is your proximity to the beach and the fact that only 10 homes have direct beach access at marker 61B, so the beach is not nearly as crowded but only a 3 minute walk to Coligny beach with Pool Bar Jim`s and the World Famous Tiki Hut with live music daily!
The lot is huge and mostly covered in pine straw with walking paths around the house and leading to a firepit out back. Around the firepit is the only place I allow smoking on the property. By requesting to book you must agree to this.
Spend your evenings playing games or relaxing on the screened porch with 7 foot dining table with seating for 6 and lounge seating for 6 in front of the 65` smart TV.
There is an outdoor shower fully enclosed with hot/cold water, a bench, shelving and hooks. This is an awesome place to rinse off the sand in the private 5x6 shower under a canopy of oak trees.
4 beach chairs, 4 beach towels, a beach cart and umbrella are provided for your stay. All I ask is for you to rinse off chairs and cart and wash/dry beach towels at the end of your stay for the next guests.
Curlew Cottage is ideal for 2 couples or a family. There is a sleeper sofa only to be used for children. Maximum number of adults is 4. This 2 bedroom 1 bath home also has an office with comfortable desk chair or it can be electronically raised to a standing desk. **Send inquiry for snowbird pricing (Nov - Feb)**

About the host
Hosted by Allison Olweiler
I am a local host and personally inspect and set up prior to each guest. I have lived on HHI on and off since the 80's and am a great source of knowledge about the island. If you need suggestions just ask!
Why they chose this property
Curlew Street is only 2 blocks north of the plaza and does not cross North Forest Beach so it's beach access is only shared by 11 homes. The beach is very private yet a very short walk to the hustle and bustle of Coligny Beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and you can hear the ocean from the porch.
What makes this property unique
Because this property has been in the family since the 80's it is able to operate as a small STR in a neighborhood of mansions. There is no other property on the island comparable due to it's location and amenities for a small family or 2 couples.
