Please Note: Due to ongoing rebuilding efforts around the island, Coastal Cottages Property owners will not be responsible for any construction that may be happening next to the property or in the surrounding area or on the beach. Following hurricanes Ian, Milton, and Helene, guests should anticipate ongoing construction throughout the island. This could include construction noise, nearby building projects, increased traffic, or beach restoration efforts. We want to ensure full transparency—construction is beyond our control, and we will not be offering compensation or refunds due to these conditions. By booking, guests understand, acknowledge and accept the possibility of construction-related impacts during their stay.
