My husband and I had such a wonderful time at this special beach cottage. The location is very private, safe, and unique, which made our stay peaceful and relaxing. The cottage was spotless, and although it’s a historic home, it has been so well maintained with thoughtful modern touches—especially the updated bathroom—that made it both charming and comfortable. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to extend our stay by an extra day. Customer service was also very responsive and reassuring, though we didn’t need much since everything was well prepared. This was truly a memorable getaway, and we look forward to returning.

Feels like old Florida. No frills but a wonderful, comfortable little beach house. Lots of history and character. My favorite place to stay in the area.

Love love love the vibe of this little beach cottage. It’s quirky and older but you honestly can’t get a better location or beach in this area. We had issues with the electronic lock and then the key, but maintenance indicated those would be fixed after we left. Property could use some more outdoor furniture and beach towels. Overall great stay, great location, great house, just a few things that could be a little better. This was our 6th time in either the cottage or the lodge next door and we will definitely be back!

We have stayed at The Historic Hut many many times. Our favorite thing is the 360° view that we get from the lookout. It’s a great place to watch the sunrise as well as the sunset and everything in between. There is a large rock wall along the ocean that makes a Great frame for the sunrise view. The beach access is at the end of the road which is four houses away. This time the blanket flowers were in full bloom and have taken over much of the landscape. Extremely pleasing place to stay.
