2 QUEENS, SLEEPS 4,

PET FRIENDLY UP TO 55 LBS.

* REMODELED IN WINTER 2023, ALL NEW DESIGNER FURNISHINGS FOR LIVING AREAS UPSTAIRS; KITCHEN, LIVING, AND DINING

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.

Whether your extra guest is a purse-sized Precious Muffin or an 80-lb Grand Marmaduke, your well-trained canine 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 the bookstore have sidewalk water bowls and lead tie-downs for all visiting pets.

After driving 18 hours from Pennsylvania, my wife and I were thrilled at the location and charm Little Lodge has. It is located next to the Seaside Chapel and across from the park-literally a 2 minute walk to central square. Trust me! If you and your significant other need a getaway this is perfect! It is also pet friendly, so our Frenchie was right at home while we enjoyed the pristine beach and crystal clear water. The staff of the homeowners collection was always just a call or text away-happy to answer any questions or concerns we had. We love Seaside so much that we have already started looking into houses/land for sale. Thank you for the memories and inspiration Little Lodge!

We had the best time at seaside and Little Lodge was perfect for our family! This unique home, was our safe heaven in the evenings! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, beds were comfortable, and layout was so unique. Outside walkway and shower were perfect for storing items after beach trip and shower to rinse off the sand. Our pup made himself right at home. We will definitely be back. Owners of the home were very friendly and told us the beautiful history of this home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Lodge! The house is so warm and welcoming. We especially loved the upstairs living area and porches. It felt like we were in a tree house! Very comfortable and charming. Not too fancy, which is what we like. Beautiful location with woods behind. One thing to note is that there is room for only one vehicle (or two very small vehicles) in front of the house, but there is a parking area just up the street, which worked out fine. Very centrally located, almost right between the east and west sides of Seaside. Very close to the town center. We really loved it! Just our kind of place!
