Enjoyed my ‘Porch Therapy’ in this beautiful cozy cottage under a canopy of Live Oaks! I’ll always choose this cottage!

Guest Review

by Leslie M
Screened porch was a bookworm paradise! Checking in and out was a simple process, the beds and pillows were comfy, the living/kitchen area was well laid-out and homey. We loved our stay at Palmetto Cottage and hope to return.

Guest Review

by Melissa
Felt like home from the time we arrived. The trees are beautiful and walk downtown made it very convenient. Access to garage also helped with beach gear. Loved our time at SSI.

Guest Review

by Sam
We absolutely loved our stay at Palmetto Cottage. It was so comfortable, nicely furnished, amazing location - so close to the village - could walk to the pier, great restaurants, shops, but away from the crowds..Beautiful sunsets from the screen porch or at the end of Florence Street overlooking the ocean. One of our best getaways ever…

Guest Review

by Sydna
Amazing place! Rustic but super convenient! Tons of storage and within walking distance to everything! Loved the cottage feel! Highly recommend renting a golf cart if you have a larger vehicle. We will be back and would love to rent the Treehouse too! This place is a true gem. We said MULTIPLE TIMES we can’t believe how great this place is!

Guest Review

by Ben
This cottage had all the charm of a house built almost 100 years ago but non of the negatives. It was comfortable and homey! My wife and I along with all 5 of our kids had plenty of room to relax, take walks, play board games and even cooked a crab dinner. The kitchen had more than enough of everything we needed. Great house. Great location. Very relaxing stay.

Guest Review

by Casey
Our stay at Palmetto Cottage was one of the best trips to SSI I've ever had, and I've been going since I was a child. The location is perfect for walking to dinner or catching the sunrise or sunset at the public beach access just a few streets away. The character of this cottage is enhanced by the clean and comfortable decor, and the entire feel of the place is peaceful and cozy. Check in and checkout was a breeze. The instructions sent to me were sensible and easy to follow. We were all talking about how much we can't wait to come back! The beds were comfortable and appropriate for adults and older kids, but there were also great nooks for putting up a pack and play for small ones. We loved this place and will remember our stay for years to come!

Definitely will stay again!! This place was beautiful and so peaceful. I love the cottage style.

Guest Review

by April
This felt like a true home, not a cheaply decorated rental. It has a code make compatible with k-cups, or you can brew a pot. The beds were so comfy—all 3 of us thought so! There was an amazing screened in porch that faces the quiet street and the back yard is fully enclosed and feels private. It really was quiet and nice. The place was about 2 blocks from Mallery St, and the pier and all the shops and restaurants, but a Sandy beach would be a short drive away.

Guest Review

by Lauren
The Palmetto Cottage did not disappoint! Walkable to shops, restaurants and the ocean. The cottage is a great place to hangout with your family. I love how the owners kept all the original details of the cottage intact with the updated comforts. The screened in porch is a great place to read a book and relax. We would definitely stay here again!

Guest Review

Guest Review

by Lisa
This house is very comfortable and the porches are a high point. Pristine at arrival and spacious for our family, we loved our visit.

Guest Review

by Barbara
Quaint, updated cottage, easy walk to village, pier, restaurants, lighthouse. The cottage was very comfortable on a quiet street. Easy walk to beach access - beach available at low tide.

Guest Review

by Lisa
The setting of this cottage is beautiful. We felt like we were in a woodsy hollow covered by beautiful live oak trees. We really enjoyed having breakfast & reading on the screened in porch. The cottage offers lots of character & charm and is just a quick walk to town & the pier. The neighborhood is quiet and fun to walk or ride a bike around and take in the views of the surrounding lovely homes. I'll definitely book this cottage again in the future!

Great place, cool deck, everyone was helpful and professional. Place looks cooler in person, got some gasps from the kids when they walked in! So yea, definitely worth it.
