Our family of 4 (with 2 daughters ages18 & 21) stayed at The White House for 9 nights. I'm not sure I can describe how incredibly beautiful & relaxing it was!
We felt like we were completely secluded, yet you're really not because you drive about 10 minutes through a gated community of stunning homes to get to the cottage. Turning off the paved road, a small dirt road winds through the woods & opens to a clearing with a beautiful pasture. Following the road around the pasture, you arrive at The White House, tucked in amongst the moss covered trees. Along the dirt road, we'd see rabbits, possums, armadillos, & even a small alligator that we fondly named Ronald. We truly felt completely secluded, with nothing but moss covered trees, forest, and the pasture surrounding the cottage. We never saw anyone the entire time until we got back onto the paved road.
Although you arrive & enter the back side of the cottage facing the pasture, my favorite part of the cottage is the front porch overlooking a beautiful grass covered lawn & salt marsh beyond. The porch spans the entire length of the house with 2 cushioned chairs & 2 Adirondack style chairs (and a picnic table). Each morning we'd sit outside with our coffee & watch the cranes come to the salt marsh to feed. We'd spot small lizards on the trees and posts of the porch & even saw a racoon & 3 babies walk up from the marsh & climb the tree. At night, it's just as beautiful. The moon lights up the marsh & the owners installed lights at the base of several trees creating this magical, peaceful setting.
The inside of the cottage is exactly as you see in the pictures. On one side of the living room is the King Room (facing the pasture), Queen Room (facing the marsh) and one of the 2 full baths in between. On the other side of the living room is the Single Room with the ensuite full bath. Each room had ample drawer and hanging space. The beds in all 3 rooms were amazingly comfortable with reading lamps in each room.
The bathrooms had ample storage & the showers had great water pressure and really hot water. The bath towels were wonderfully thick and soft with plenty of extras stored in the King Room closet.
The kitchen was well stocked with cookware. If you wanted to cook, I can't imagine you'd need anything. The full-size washer/dryer in the kitchen came in handy after a day at the beach.
We would return to The White House is a heartbeat! Truly loved every moment of our time in this lovely cottage!
