About this property
Angler at The Arbors – Retro Beach Cottage w/ Heated Pool, Private Beach Area & Walkable Dining
The Angler is a quaint coastal freestanding beach cottage with two bedrooms and one bath. The beautiful resort property has a heated/chilled pool, and private beach area with loungers and is ideally located within walking distance to several local great restaurants and shops. Sleeps up to six guests. Interested in traveling with extended family? Check out our other 4 listings at The Arbors Seaside Cottages.
The Angler is a quaint coastal freestanding beach cottage only steps away from the sand! The cottage was built in the '50s and though it has been renovated, it still holds that great Florida charm with beautiful wooden ceilings and built-in cabinets!
Kitchen: Eat-in full kitchen equipped with a refrigerator/freezer combo, electric stove/oven, microwave, blender, toaster, and drip coffee maker. Basic dishes and utensils are also provided. Basic spices and cooking oil are not always available.
Living Area: Cozy living area with comfy seating, Queen sleeper sofa, ceiling fan, and a TV.
Bedrooms #1 & #2: Each bedroom has a Queen bed, ceiling fan, dresser space, and a small TV. All linens are provided.
Bathroom: *Newly renovated!* Full bathroom with sink, toilet, and a standing shower. No tub.
Outdoors: There is a 4 top dining table outside of the cottage in the pool area, from here you can enjoy meals, cocktails, or the beautiful garden. The sand is only 30 steps from this cottage. We have a private beach area that has plenty of loungers. There is also free shared laundry on site. Heated/chilled pool with three relaxing waterfalls, beautiful paver pathways leading you to our private beach area, two grilling areas, painted seawall, and pavilion.
We have frequent guests who come with extended family to celebrate anniversaries, weddings, family reunions, and holidays. Guests can stay in separate cottages but share the outdoor living spaces. Some large groups prefer to rent the entire complex under "Arbors Seaside Cottages Complex"- this way it can sleep up to thirty guests.
*The covered pavilion area is reserved for Beach Lodge guests only.
