Front porch coffee. Screened porch sunsets. The Grand Pavilion pool steps away. And the beach just around the corner.

Seaside Cottage 81 is one of Wild Dunes’ most special properties — a beautifully remodeled four-bedroom home tucked right in the heart of the Seaside Cottages community, directly next to the Boardwalk Inn. The location alone is remarkable: you’re steps from the beach, steps from the pool, and steps from the golf course, restaurants, and bike trails that make Wild Dunes one of the Southeast’s most beloved resort communities.

The house itself is stunning — bright, airy, and thoughtfully appointed throughout. The wraparound front porch is perfect for morning coffee and people-watching, while the screened-in back porch is your private outdoor retreat for evenings. Four bedrooms sleeping up to ten guests make it a go-to for family reunions, girls’ trips, and multigenerational vacations that need real space to spread out.

Please note: HOA regulations prohibit guests from using the fireplace or golf cart.
