Your rental of the Butler Cove Beach cottage includes access to: the entire house, front deck, yard, parking area, beach^, bulkhead^^, paddleboards (2, for rent), and kayaks (2).
^Our beach extends into the cove (muddy, be warned -- highly recommend sandals with straps attaching them to your feet) and just to the right of the steps down onto the beach. It includes a portion of the sea beans — the succulent-looking plant carpeting the sand (see the last three photos for the property's boundary). Though beach strolling on neighboring beaches (not bulkheads [see note ^^ below of what bulkheads are, if unfamiliar]) is permitted at low tide, bringing down lawn chairs, beach towels, sunbathing, or temporarily storing lifejackets, paddles, paddleboards, or kayaks, etc. on neighboring beaches/the neighboring sea beans is not.
^^Please do not travel across neighboring bulkhead[s] (up from the beach, often with a concrete barrier) as they are considered private property.
>>> Write us for details on us stocking the cottage with some flash frozen at sea Cooper River Salmon! <<<
