Description

552 FOREST STREET

2 QUEENS, SLEEPS 4

From the early 1990s, renowned Seaside architect Richard Gibbs’ classic two-bedroom Charleston style cottage has been winning praise and return guests to its relaxed Forest Street location. The cottage features a much-admired deep porch (or “dogtrot”) style layout, with a large full-length screened breezeway linking the private bedrooms downstairs and the kitchen, dining and living areas upstairs.  The cottage was fully renovated including new air conditioning system, ceiling fans throughout, and new laundry appliances in February 2023.

The street-facing entry door leads onto a screened porch with direct access to the two mirror-image bedrooms, each featuring a platform queen bed, new storage drawers, dimmable indirect uplighting, large shuttered window and smart TV.  The inviting private ensuite bathroom for each bedroom includes a walk-in shower with frameless glass door and rain showerhead, new marble vanity, backlit vanity mirror, and heated floor.  An outdoor shower is provided off the entry level porch.

Up an easy staircase, the second floor includes the renovated kitchen, dining and living areas, another full-length screened porch and Juliette balcony overlooking quiet Forest Street park.  The premium kitchen is equipped with stainless Wolf oven and gas cooktop, Sub-Zero fridge/freezer and Asko dishwasher.  A new ample pantry and separate broom closet form a short passage from the kitchen to the completely new dining area with trestle table, benches and chairs.  The living area, open to dining, is furnished with a comfortable new sofa, oversize swivel chairs, and 50” Frame TV.  There is a newly wallpapered powder room adjacent to the living and dining areas.  The upper screened porch is furnished with a table and chairs perfect for morning coffee, and a classic bench with upholstered cushion.

Little Lodge is perfectly situated for experiencing all the best of vibrant Seaside, while also enjoying the wooded areas behind the cottage for strolling or jogging.

A backyard timber deck with gas barbecue, outdoor dining table and picket fencing completes this compact venue, your vacation home while enjoying the Seaside beach, shops, and dining just steps from the cottage.

Pet Friendly. The owners are pet people. This cottage welcomes the four-legged members of your family. Whether your extra guest is a purse-sized Precious Muffin or a larger, well-trained, canine member of your family, your loved one is accommodated at Little Lodge. Pets are required to be on leash while outside in the Seaside community. The village grocery store, post office, and bookstore have sidewalk water bowls and lead tie-downs for all visiting pets. A pet cleaning supplement will be included in your booking fee.

Rentals include high-speed wi-fi, cable TV for each bedroom and the living room, two complimentary bicycles, access to swim, fitness and tennis centers and the beach pavilion, and a beach bag of arrival welcome amenities, including wine. There is one guest parking space immediately in front of the cottage.

This is the third time that we have stayed at Little Lodge and it never disappoints. Recently remodeled, the amenities are top notch. Steps away from a beautiful park setting and an easy walk to the beach and pool, it is the perfect place to relax.
Hi Susan, sounds like you found a perfect spot to come back to, and we hope to welcome you in the future! Thanks for taking the time to share a positive review on Little Lodge and Homeowners Collection team. Take care and enjoy the rest of your summer!
