Waterfront stilt cottage on the open Gulf of Mexico will make you feel like you're on a houseboat!

This romantic little cottage is one of the last of its kind. Built on stilts on the edge of the sea wall, the tide literally comes up underneath the cottage. At high tide you can hear the lapping of the gentle waves against the pilings. Access to the house is easy. The driveway leads right up to the cottage with parking for one vehicle underneath.

The view from Cove Cottage is what makes it the treasure that it is. From anywhere in the cottage with its many windows one can see the Sea. To the right is the beach maintained by the City. Also here is the city park. Then across the water is the nearby Dock Street with its many restaurants and shops and the boat ramps. Then there is the open Gulf of Mexico with Atsena Otie island not far from shore.

Guests at Cove Cottage have commented that staying in the Cottage is like staying on a houseboat. At high tide you've water on three sides of the house.

The front deck faces the Gulf and has comfortable seating for four and is a favorite place for watching the fishing boats, clammers boats, kayakers and tour boats coming and going throughout the day.

Well equipped and move in ready. Cove has a full kitchen, full bath with shower, private bedroom with a queen size bed. Spacious living room with comfortable seating and a waterfront dining area. There is also a murphy bed with a queen size mattress for extra sleeping room.

Yes we have wi-fi. Yes we have two tv's and Direct TV. Yes we allow ONE small dog under 20 lbs for a $50 fee. We offer use of one kayak, paddles and associated PFDs. There is also a hose and a fish cleaning sink/table under the house.

In a world of cookie cutter accommodations, the Cove Cottage is a unique experience from which memories are made.
