Live like a local in this thoughtfully equipped, charming, 110 year old farmhouse steps from Egypt Beach. Perfect for families, couples or friends looking to get away! Cozy furnishings, quality touches- we’ve tried to think of everything to make your stay comfortable, easy and memorable! The space Stone’s Throw Cottage is a dream come true for us- we hope it will be for you, too! We have stayed in many short term rentals and wanted to create an experience we knew we would love and we can’t wait to share it with you! First of all, having all the amenities of home was important to us- from the kitchen, to the bathroom, to the bedrooms and even the den, we tried to think of all the things we’ve forgotten in the past or wished we had at our previous stays. Whether you’re visiting family, having a weekend beachside retreat, or working remotely, we think we have everything you are looking for! The kitchen is newer with good quality appliances, dishes, cutlery, knives and pots and pans. We have non-breakable sets of everything for the kiddos too! (We didn’t forget our dog friends- there’s a set of bowls for you too, buddy!) We’ve included some basic baking and cooking items, such as some spices, oils and foil, plastic wrap and even baggies! The coffee bar is stocked with many types of keurig coffee, tea and even hot chocolate. (There’s a kettle for boiling water.) The bathroom is stocked with quality shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There are q-tips, cotton balls, cotton rounds, a great hairdryer, and curling iron. We even have some extra basic items in case you forgot them. If you forgot something we didn’t think of, Dad’s convenience store is a 1 minute drive (or 9 minute walk) down the road. Our towels are thick and fluffy and there are super soft, black makeup towels for removing makeup. There are two storage towers in the shower so everyone will have room for their own things, nothing getting knocked off the ledge while you shower! The water pressure is great, too! In the bedrooms, the bedding is soft, comfy and plentiful- there are several kinds of pillows in each room, so you should be able to find your perfect comfy combo! For the cooler months, the plush blankets are super cuddly and warm! For the summer, there are AC units for the windows! There are Roku TVs in two of the three bedrooms. Plenty of closet space! In the closet for the 2nd and 3rd bedroom there is a full size ironing board with a good iron. There is also a carpet cleaner in case of accidents. Downstairs, the living room was made with families in mind. The sectional is from Home Reserve. (Look it up!) The fabric repels spills and stains making it great for kids and pets, so relax and enjoy! Should something major get on the covers, simply throw in the wash on gentle/cold and air dry. Put back on while damp and voila! Like new! There are two more roku TVs downstairs- bring your streaming service logins! There are puzzles and games in the hidden storage under the sofas cushions! Speaking of laundry- the washer and dryer are new and ready for you, so you can bring less clothes than you normally would. If you want! Also, who doesn’t love going home from vacation with all clean clothes! If you need to work while at the Cottage, the Wi-Fi is fast, the desk in the den is big, faces a window and has some basic supplies, such as pens, post its, scissors, a stapler and even sharpies! (If you’re worried about your kids getting these, please feel free to hide them for the duration of your stay!) If you want a break from work, there’s a Nintendo Classic Mini for the family to enjoy- just plug in to the HDMI to play! Feel the nostalgia! There’s also a sound core Bluetooth speaker for great sound if you’re a music lover. If you forgot your chargers, don’t worry, we got you covered- there are universal charger cords all over the house! Each lamp on all of the bedside tables also has 2 USB ports if you need them! You love dogs, we love dogs! Bring up to two furry, well-behaved and potty-trained friends! Please bring your buddies their own towels and blankets to use during their stay. We can’t wait to host you at Stone’s Throw Cottage! New for Summer 2023: Outdoor Shower! Fully stocked beach wagon, including sand toys, chairs, towels, umbrellas and more! BBQ! Outdoor table Fire pit and Adirondack Chairs Cornhole! Please note: our house is old! There are some wonky things to be aware of before you arrive! First of all, as noted in the listing, there is only ONE bathroom and that bathroom is downstairs. There are three different spots where the floor level on the main floor changes creating small steps- please watch your step! If you have mobility issues this may not be the home for you. Second, there is a chimney/ pillar going RIGHT THROUGH the middle of the second bedroom (Check second bedroom photographs.) Next, the third bedroom is accessed by walking THROUGH the second bedroom (by the oars on the wall you can see in the photos). It does have its own door for privacy but you must walk through the second bedroom to get in or out of the third room. Finally, the stairs are narrow and they will definitely give a nice, old-house creaky sound when you go up and down them. We find these quirks charming, but we know not everyone may agree, so now you can decide for yourself! Guest access You will have access to the entire home and backyard. Only one closet and the shed are locked for owners’ stuff.
