Sea Esta Time: Dog-Friendly Oceanfront Cottage with Private Beach Access, Screened Porch & Spacious Deck

Property Highlights: Oceanfront • Private Beach Access • Dog Friendly • Screened Oceanfront Porch • Beautiful Ocean Views • Two Living Areas • Outdoor Shower • Convenient Surf City Location


Welcome to Sea Esta Time!

Settle into the rhythm of island life at Sea Esta Time, a welcoming oceanfront cottage in Surf City where beautiful views, easy beach days, and plenty of space to spread out make it an ideal getaway for families, friends, and four-legged companions.

The screened oceanfront porch is one of those spaces you'll quickly find yourself returning to throughout your stay. Start the morning here with coffee and the sound of the waves, enjoy lunch in the shade, or simply settle in and watch the coastline without leaving the comfort of the house. Just beyond the porch, the spacious oceanfront deck gives you even more room to enjoy the sun and salty air.

Traveling with a dog The gated porch and deck areas are an especially convenient feature, giving your pup a place to join you outside while everyone enjoys the oceanfront setting.

When you're ready for the sand, follow the home's private beach access toward the shoreline. Spend the day swimming, searching for shells and shark teeth, or simply finding your favorite spot along the beach before returning home to rinse off in the outdoor shower.

Inside, Sea Esta Time offers a unique two-level layout that's particularly well suited for families or groups who appreciate having a little extra room to spread out. The upper level serves as the primary gathering space, where large windows keep the ocean views close and doors lead directly to the screened porch and deck.

Downstairs, a second living area creates a separate hangout space that's perfect for kids, teens, or another part of the group. With bedrooms located on both levels, everyone can enjoy time together while still having comfortable spaces of their own.

And when you're ready to venture beyond the beach, Sea Esta Time's Surf City location keeps you conveniently close to local restaurants, shops, and island activities.

From mornings on the screened porch to long afternoons on the sand and evenings spent listening to the waves, Sea Esta Time offers the kind of relaxed, comfortable oceanfront getaway that makes it easy to return year after year.

    We absolutely loved our stay! The house was so clean and welcoming, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The AC kept us perfectly comfortable, and the enclosed porch was such a cozy spot to relax. The location couldn’t have been better, so close to everything! We felt completely at home here and can’t wait to come back.

    Screened porch was great. Bedrooms and kitchen were spacious and well stocked. Sofa was comfy. Place was very clean considering dog friendly. Downstairs had 1 tiny very old window ac that even in May could not keep up. Box fans in the bedrooms but the room was still very stuffy especially at night with the door shut. No vents or ac units in bedrooms downstairs so if you closed the door it was very warm. Would stay again but not in July or August due to lack of ventilation downstairs.

    Great house! Loved the following features:- Bedding and towels were included- The screened-in porch was excellent for those of us who need shade- The porch and deck were each gated, perfext for kids and dogs- Quick walk down to the shore- Lots of puzzles, games, and books- The starter toilet paper, trash bags, cleaner, etc. Were so helpful AND the leftover items from previous renters (coffee filters, seasonig, etc.)

    House was very clean and had everything we needed. Very convenient, and you could not beat the views or location. The screened in porch was our favorite spot. Would definitely stay here again.

    This home provided everything needed to make a wonderful vacation for you and your family. The home was clean, kitchen stocked (we cooked) and plenty of comfortable seating. The best part, of course, was the beautiful ocean view from the living room windows, screened in porch or spacious deck. We most definitely will book this home again. Thank you for allowing us to stay in you beautiful home!

    We appreciated that this beach home was pet friendly (as dogs are family, too!). The home was clean, beds were comfortable, and the enclosed porch was wonderful to still take in the scenes of the ocean. The views were great and the dune walkway to the beach was tolerable! We saw dolphins in the ocean which was a highlight. It’s a short drive to the center of town, and a safe walk also. We can’t wait to return!
