About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

3 minute walk to Ocean. Brand New Tempurpedic Beds. Large Screened Porch.

520 College Street is a corner lot classic, complete with a screened-in porch and picket fence. Its interiors enjoy a tasteful touch of modernity, ensuring the southern charms never get stuffy. The bedrooms - three upstairs and one master on the ground floor - each possess a calming, spa-like lightness. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces downstairs are equally inviting, with a clear design focus on relaxation. Through the front gate to the closest beach (a 3-minute walk) and out the back door to the village pier - wherever you’re going it won’t take long, and you’ll be glad you’re coming back here. Emmons Realty is proud to add this wonderful home to our rental pool.

Includes wireless internet. We DO NOT accept pets.

Beautiful Cottage with Walk to Beach Access
The house is well decorated, comfortable and great for a small group like ours. It was rainy for a good portion of our stay, but the house was so cozy we all just sunk in to enjoy it.

The property on College St. was perfect! The house was cuter in person than it was in pics! It was clean, beautifully decorated, and had an adorable layout. We also really enjoyed the grill and the fenced-in yard. We would definitely stay here again…HAPPILY!

Awesome Home Better Location
We stayed just four of us in our family (2 adults 2 kids) and the house was everything we needed. It was also more than suitable for another family of four. The location with young kids could not be better, less than a five minute walk to the southern edge of East Beach which is much less populated and more family friendly than the rest. Quick drive into town or out to the north end of east beach which is also beautiful.

The cottage was a few blocks from the beach, an easy walk for 18-80 year-olds. We loved cooking in the kitchen. Plenty of space for the 7 of us to be together and find privacy. Our corner of south beach was never overcrowded. Food and light shopping was less 0.4-0.7 miles away walking. We loved our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We met up with 4 of our siblings here for a long weekend. It brought back many memories as our family owned this house from 1971 until 2008. We grew up on the Island when it was a different place. We never did own a key for the front door.

Old SSI charm
Rating Details: The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was adequate for our purposes ; 6 guys attending the Firebox charity fundraiser. Everything functioned as necessary . Honestly, in order for us bring our wives, it would need a little cleaning up, sprucing up, etc etc.. but for us, it was fine. We did manage to kill several large black palmetto bugs in the kitchen...not sure what they are caused by.

It was a very convenient location, we just walked across the street to the beach access on 5th street. It was a good fit for my husband and me and our three kids. I do have to say the bathroom downstairs is only a good fit for a child. Very very tiny. The beds upstairs were super comfortable, the bed in the downstairs bedroom was not. Overall,we really loved the cottage. Its decorated beautiful and very cozy!

Absolutely precious cottage, designer decorated
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely adored this cottage! We had plenty of room for our family of six with a bedroom to spare. Three bedrooms upstairs, including two bedrooms with kings and one with a set of twin beds. Sharing the bathroom upstairs. Downstairs was perfect, with the the fourth bedroom with queen and bathroom. Living room with games, full tv options, and super cozy. Beautiful dining room between living room and kitchen. Kitchen is large and very clean. This is a corner lot just a block and half from a beach access. We rented a golf cart and feel one must to do if able! It was so nice and fun to cruise around the island on! Please look under beds for additional fans, chairs and such. We only discovered this when leaving! We loved our stay and would highly recommend. My one and only concern would be for the bathrooms being slightly smaller for anyone that maybe a factor... we will most definitely stay again. We highly enjoyed the side porch in the afternoons for reading and wine! In sum, beautiful place and super clean!!

Great space for 2 families!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first vacation since COVID-19 started being noticed in March 2020. We had two families together (4 kids ages 7 yrs to 7 months old) for a week. The space is great for this size group. It is an older property but is well maintained and appointed. The kitchen provided a great space to cook and feed everyone in the same room. The full size laundry and outdoor hose/showers allowed us to get cleaned up quickly following daily beach trips. The family friendly beach is only a 3 minute walk away (the main lighthouse area only a few minutes more)! The only downside to the property is the lack of a bathtub for young children and a large amount of glass/breakable décor that you may have to play keep away with. Overall, it's a comfortable house to entertain a fairly large group!
