Salt Heir: North End vintage beach cottage only 1 block to beach & park!

Let romance bloom in the arms of “Salt Heir”, a dreamy misty blue vintage beach cottage with a unique cut flower garden experience surrounding her. Location counts for nature lovers. Salt Heir is ideally located one block from the wide golden beach lining the Atlantic Ocean and one block in the other direction from swampy First Landing State Park which is loaded with tree lined hiking trails swinging with Spanish moss and a popular hidden local favorite beach at the Narrows where boats often gather which makes for a very festive atmosphere during warmer weather. Our very rare c.1930’s vacation home was lovingly restored retaining as many of the original charming details as we could possibly salvage while adding luxurious modern touches like warm marble mosaic floors in the bathrooms and laundry room and a deeply carved imported marble fireplace with a remote controlled gas log and a palace sized wool rug under our custom leather couch and club chair that adds to the overall high end designer feel of the space. Every room has at least one fabulous antique, a tradition handed down in our family. An impressive chef’s kitchen featuring brands including Viking, Meile & Big Chill & Breville will inspire you to get busy in the kitchen and make some wonderful dining memories in our sunny dining room space overlooking the front garden. We stock ground coffee, fresh half & half, basic spices, chefs knives, tools as well as a collection of All Clad cookware and SMEG coffeemaker. A Kitchenette hand mixer and Breville counter mixer & toaster oven are also included among your arsenal of kitchen tools to assist with food & drink preparation. We also have a selection of fresh seasonal herbs growing in pots surrounding our outdoor grill located on a paved patio just off of the lower back deck. We recently restored our cottage for family to enjoy for short summer vacations but now are permitted by the City and very pleased to be opening up our cottage doors for guests to book and enjoy as if it were their own family cottage. We hope to have the same guests return every year, choosing Salt Heir to enjoy with family & friends that appreciate the many fine details that set our cottage a class above most.
