About this property

Cozy Cottage w private Beach Access,AC&WiFi -Quiet North End AMI. Tropical Oasis

Sea Garden Cottage is a true island gem and escape. Sea Garden Cottage is located on North Shore Drive at the north end of the island. It’s charming decor and garden oasis are sure to make you lose yourself in your future get-a-way.

This home rests on a 1.23 acre lot directly on the Gulf, a rarity on the island. The lot is surrounded by mature trees, tropical vegetation, and views of the Gulf and its sandy shores. We had lost 2 very large trees since the 2 hurricanes in 2024, so there is newly planted vegetation and resurgence of the old vegetaion.

The master bedroom has king size bed with half bath and TV. The guest bedroom has 2 XL twin beds and a small TV. Both rooms open to a screened lanai where you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Sea Garden is fully equipped with linens, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas. The kitchen is fully stocked with coffee maker, tea pot, crock pot, pots and pans.

We provide free high speed WIFI. We are switching from cable TV to streaming YouTube TV. TV's in each bedroom and living room.

Perfection. Clean, nice, cozy home with all the amenities you could hope for. No need to bring anything except for clothes and ourselves. Coffee on the back patio every morning and a short walk to the beach. Communication with the host was spectacular. Would love to go back sometime soon!

There is nothing negative that can be said about this property. The house is so cozy and with comfy beds. The path to the beach is serene and then when it opens up to the beach it is just breathtaking. The sunset is perfect to watch from the property. I suggest booking a golf cart because the island gets heavy traffic for bikes, especially with littles. Book this place and you will have no regrets! We definitely plan to book again.

We absolutely loved the property. It far exceeded our very high expectations based on the pictures. Kari was a delight to work with.The house is such a short distance from the local restaurants that we ended up walking the beach every day to a local restaurant for lunch. Definitely didn’t need the car once we were there.The house was very well outfitted, really providing all that we needed to enjoy our breakfast and dinner at home each day.I really loved the terrazzo floors, overall layout, and just general feel. The screened in porch and lawn though really made the place. It’s definitely something special.

Sea Garden is a truly special place. The location was ideal with only a few minute walk to shopping and restaurants. The house was perfect for our needs and the property was incredible. Kari and her team are great hosts and have anticipated the needs of guests in every way. SG is a beautifully renovated cottage with a fully equipped kitchen including new appliances to updated bathrooms and bedrooms. Everything was available for a day at the beach including chairs, umbrellas and toys to bikes for riding on the island. A screened porch provides a beautiful view of the tropical landscaping. Having your own personal path and private beach access was one of a kind.

Very cute house with great beach access. Neighborhood is very quiet, with a lot of options for breakfast/coffee, and everything else. You can walk to City Pier, (and Rod&Reel when it is rebuilt). The owner has a shed on site that is LOADED with al the beach gear, toys, chairs, etc you will need. Master bedroom was spacious, as was the 2nd bedroom. Fold-out coach was a bonus. There is still some landscaping work needed to be done as part of the post-hurricane recovery, but other than that, it was a great little place to stay for a family of 4.

This was our second visit to Cozy Cottage and it never disappoints! It is a beautiful Old Florida cottage (which we love and prefer) that is fully appointed-from a fully supplied kitchen, beach towels, umbrellas, and a screened-in lanai for rainy afternoons. AND the landscape is remarkable! Thank you for sharing your cottage with us-we will be back!
