Welcome to the Latimer Upper! This freshly renovated cottage still holds the charm + character of its historic past while offering all of the modern style + comforts desired in a 5 star stay. Located along a residential street you are mere steps to both the soundside (spectacular sunsets) and the ocean when sun and sand are calling. Enjoy 2 on-site parking spaces. Location cant be beat! Flipflops are all that’s needed to access the local hotspots. Walk to iconic Trolly Stop, Tower 7, shops… You will be instantly charmed by this classic Carolina cottage! Fully renovated in 2024, expect a fresh, light filled space with brand new furnishings and interior touches along with an intentionally preserved, beach cottage vibe. This top floor, 3 bedroom cottage still boasts her wide plank shiplap ceilings, original hardwood floors and spacious, covered front porch…while also offering completely renovated and modernized living areas. The kitchen and bath are fully updated for everyone’s comfort and convenience. Not to be missed is the newly installed, whole house Kinetico water filtration system! No beach water here. We offer healthy, filtered dinking and bathing water for all of our guests :) What we love most about The Latimer is the premiere location with peek-a- boo views of Banks Channel Sound and an easy 2 minute walk to the Ocean. Don’t miss a single sunset from the covered front porch. Plan to relax and enjoy the breeze on the swing after a sun-filled beach day in the sand with your beverage of choice….sip your morning coffee, basking in the early sunshine on the private side porch. When it’s time to head out and explore the island you are in the premiere spot! Walk to all of the local favorites. Trolly Stop hotdogs are not to be missed along with a margarita and fish taco from Tower7. Circles ice cream makes a summer night sweeter. Local surf shops, boutiques, nightlife and the island’s long standing, Robert’s Grocery store are within an easy walk from the cottage.
