Superb apartment by the sea

My husband and I purchased this cottage in 2012. We owned the Sea Spray Cottages that are directly across the street. John runs those cottages. In 2018-19 we renovated our ocean-front cottage. We knew when we purchased it that we had to replace the pilings and raise the cottage. The 18 month renovation raised the cottage up nine feet and forward towards the road 16 feet. The original upper two floors that we occupy were built in 1928. The lower floor was constructed during the renovation. We have made the lower floor available to guests to rent.

It was across the street from my husband's "work." It is historic and needed preservation as other buyers were looking to demo the house and build the typical mega-cottage to jam folks in for a very expensive week at the beach. We saved the old gal from that fate and have now provided guests with an affordable oceanfront option that is not readily available.

Guests enjoy a brand new space in an old-school shell. The wrap around porch provides guests with an old southern home stay at the beach with direct pool and ocean access.
