We had a wonderful time and couldn’t have chosen a better cottage for our stay. The location was fantastic! Walking distance to SS staple resultants, shops and the beach. Quick bike ride or drive to The Village. We loved having the pool. The cottage had any amenity we needed and we couldn’t have enjoyed the decor any more. Thank you for a wonderful stay and Spring Break!

We couldn’t have asked for better place to stay during our Mother/Daughter weekend in SSI. Tides Cottage is beautifully decorated and is well equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Our favorite part was hanging out at the pool. It was a nice spot to relax and enjoy the day. The beach and several restaurants are within walking distance. Our host provided a digital guidebook with detailed information for our stay, check-in and out procedures, house rules and local recommendations which made our visit even better.

Family Gathering

The Tides Cottage was perfect for our family gathering of 6 to celebrate a birthday, and could have comfortably fit a few more. The house was decorated beautifully, the kitchen was well equipped and beds were very comfortable. But the most enjoyable feature had to be the pool! We wish we could’ve spent even more time out there. The location was also great, with several restaurants within walking distance and walking paths allowing for enjoyable walks. Overall, a 10/10 experience!
