Home details
Fishermen’s Cottage is an adorned family heirloom built in 1950 for a local market owner in Thunderbolt Island. Recently restored and designed by the market owner’s loved ones, life has been brought back to this cozy, stylish, home to share with our Lucky Guests! You’ll find yourself within walking distance to the Wilmington Island River to watch unforgettable sunsets, outstanding restaurants, and much more.
From the eye-catching curb appeal, to the quintessential front porch, this quaint and charming cottage stands out amongst the rest. As every true southerner knows, the front porch of a home is made for sipping sweet tea, but you’re welcome to enjoy a morning cup of joe or evening glass of wine while feeling the breeze of the Wilmington Island River. Stepping inside, you’ll be transported back to 1950 but pleasantly surprised by the sophisticated and thoughtful appointments, furnishings and fixtures. The cozy living room is bright and airy, with an ample amount of seating for everyone to unwind after a long day of exploration together.
Beyond the living room, you’ll find an alluring galley kitchen, with all of the modern day appliances and amenities one could ask for! Fitted with beautiful butcher block countertops and stainless steel appliances, you’ll also find that the cabinets are stocked with everything you’ll need for a home-cooked meal. Whether you need a space to get some work done, or share an intimate meal with those in your party, the adorable bistro table is set for four guests.
Both bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the home, yet each have access to the sizable bathroom. The first bedroom offers a antique, four-post queen bed and overlooks the treelined street. At the back of the home, with access to the rear deck, the second bedroom features a queen size bed and calming tones to ensure a peaceful nights rest. Emphasizing on sizable, the shared bathroom offers an ample amount of space, an original claw-foot tub, and a large marble top vanity with plenty of storage.
Just out back, guests will find a large deck just off of the kitchen, perfect for Spring and Summer evenings beneath the moonlit sky. The vast backyard is completely fenced in, which is ideal for pet owners!
