In the winter of 1948, eight sturdy vacation cottages were constructed in a tropical setting as rugged and individual as the patrons they beckoned. Situated in a tranquil surrounding, this property features eight vintage cottages on a private white sandy beach. All are complete with old Florida tropical charm, fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, and eight private outside sitting areas with picnic tables, umbrellas, and barbecue grills.
