Welcome to Sunkissed Cottage, your bright and cozy coastal escape just steps from the beach on the quiet north end of the island. Simply cross the street for easy beach access and spend your days soaking up the sun, then return home to relax in your own private retreat.

The open living space features a comfortable queen bed and futon, ideal for lounging after a day in the sun. The kitchen is fully equipped for home-style meals, offering a drop-leaf dining table with seating, kitchen island bar stools, and small appliances including a microwave, toaster oven, blender, and both a standard coffee maker and Keurig. A stacked washer and dryer add extra convenience for longer stays.

Step outside and enjoy the best of coastal living. The property boasts a large private backyard, front and back decks with seating, a gas grill, and an outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after the beach. A screened-in bonus room on the ground floor offers a relaxing hangout space with a Roku TV, seating area, and games, giving guests another cozy spot to unwind.

One of the highlights of Sunkissed Cottage is its unbeatable location. Enjoy your morning coffee on the sunny front deck, then simply cross the street to access the beach for a carefree day by the ocean. For those who love getting out on the water, you'll also find a public kayak and paddleboard launch at the end of the road, providing easy access to the beautiful Intracoastal Waterway for paddling, fishing, and exploring the area's scenic marshes. Nearby local amenities and the friendly north end island community make it easy to feel right at home.

Even better, you're within walking distance of several local favorites. Grab a bite at Oceans Edge Restaurant, enjoy a casual drink and island atmosphere at ARRR Pirate Bar & Grill, or start your morning with coffee from Coffee Joy. You're also just a short stroll from the laid-back local Tiki Bar, the perfect spot for sunset cocktails and ocean breezes.
