Beachy Cottage! Short Ride to Beaches, Pools, Dining, Golf! Pet Friendly! Amenity Cards!

550 Tarpon Pond

550 Tarpon Pond is a charming beachy cottage! So close to many of Seabrook's amenities yet nestled on a quiet street amid Seabrook's majestic live oak trees, it is the perfect quiet retreat for your vacation. Located .8 miles to Pelican Beach and 1.2 miles to the Beach Club pools, Pelican's Nest oceanfront, outdoor dining, clubhouse, and golf courses, you are just a bike ride away from so much. Surrounded by mature trees, you can sit and watch the wildlife while sitting on the screened porch. This inviting and cozy cottage is perfect for family vacations!

The cottage features an open dining/living area with cathedral ceilings and hardwood floors. Wainscot paneling, high ceilings, and a fireplace create an airy atmosphere. Enjoy watching shows on the HDTV/DVD. The sliding doors to the screened porch where sunlight filters through the trees creates its own relaxing space as you sip cool drinks and unwind from a fantastic day at the beach! In the dining area, your friends and family can gather around the island table that seats 8 on bar stools - perfect for sharing stories from your day. The nearby galley kitchen has white cabinetry, Corian counters, new dishware, and is very well stocked.

There are three bedrooms in this cottage - all new mattresses have been added in November of 2021. The primary bedroom has a queen bed, an HDTV, and its own adjoining bath with a shower. The 2nd bedroom has two twin beds and an HDTV in the armoire. The hall bath with a shower/tub is just outside the door. Upstairs is a large loft with two twin beds. This is a great retreat for the children.

Lovely beach cottage

Had a great five night stay. Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and biking to the beach club. House was nicely decorated and well equipped. We enjoyed several meals on the screen porch. Fave nearby restaurant was Salty Dog at the Bohicket Marina just a bit outside the gate.

2024 family getaway

The rental was as described. There was a lot to do without leaving the property. We stayed Thursday - Sunday and the only inconvenience was the workmen who showed up at 7:30 am Friday morning to build the new AC stand on the bedroom side of the unit.

Comfortable beach house

This house had just about everything we could have needed! The owners thought of everything; tv’s in every room, bicycles, beach chairs, gas grill (no brush to clean it though), coffee maker with keurig, liquid soap, and plenty of towels! The agency was wonderfully responsive when I informed them that I had left a couple of things behind! My only note for families with older adults…the main dining area in the house is a “high top” table with stools w/o backs. The dining table/chairs is outside on the screened in porch and it was too hot to eat outside!

Great Beach Cottage on Seabrook!

Loved our stay, the place was roomy for our small family, well stocked with what we needed, and in a very pleasant neighborhood. Appreciated the bikes and the beach chairs, plenty for all of us! Easy bike ride to the beach and pool. Can't wait to come back!

Great Stay

We had a great stay at the home. The cottage was clean and in great proximity to the beach, golf course and clubhouse. Only minor item to fix would be the bikes (flat tire) and the dishwasher (control board wasn’t working). Otherwise we had a great time.

Well-stocked home away from home

Attractive decor with shiplap and wainscoating, comfortable furniture. Well-stocked and organized kitchen with everything needed to prepare and serve meals. Books, games, DVDs, wide selection of cable channels. Collapsible wagon, folding chairs, sand toys for the beach. Amenity card gives access to the pools at the beach club. Great screened porch. Owners have obviously been responsive to suggestions made by previous guests to provide all that's needed to have an enjoyable vacation.

Great place for pets and their people

This home is good for pets and owners. We loved the screened porch and spent a good bit of time there. The dining table was perfect for family dinners and playing games. The home definitely needs a deep clean and updating. The available pans need to be replaced as well. The kitchen is functional, but only for one person. The location is really only driving distance to the beach. Overall the rental was accurate in the description for the most part.

Nice property

The mattresses were not very comfortable. The master bedroom needs to be changed out as well as the twin beds downstairs the owners need to put a bicycle tire pump somewhere in the house. Also it would be nice if the owners would put out some kind of and sign for what to do with the trash on what days

Pleasant Stay

The property was mostly as advertised. The pictures in the listing reflect a newer home, but we found wear and tear, especially the bathrooms (cracked tiles, shower curtains that really need changing out), old microwave, refrigerator door doesn't close well unless pushed shut. We did enjoy the screened in porch, however the cushions for the seating are stained and should be changed out as well. On a positive note, the location was very good and the mattress in the master bedroom is comfortable.

A lovely and relaxing place to stay

This clean cottage was well-suited to our family's needs and we enjoyed our stay here. While the kitchen was small and the cause of several 'traffic jams', it was fully functional and had everything we needed to dine-in (a necessary vacation modification due to Covid). We enjoyed sharing meals around the big dining table and numerous stools--everyone could eat together (this is often not the case with rental homes). The kids enjoyed the smart TV (although us adults could never figure out how to watch a local station for weather updates, etc!) The use of the beach bikes was most appreciated--we used them for getting around and even going out to Freshfields for some provisions. And we really liked the seaside and starfish themed decor. Lastly, the screened porch in back was a lovely place to relax.

Great Renovation in Progress!

We always enjoy our time on Seabrook. The island has become a bit of a home away from home. In the off season we loved walking and biking and generally just seeing more of the island. We had our Thanksgiving celebration just with our immediate family and it was a great day. The owners are clearly renovating and upgrading the property and doing the right things to make it inviting. The property is well equipped, nicely decorated and generally comfortable. Bathrooms could use some upgrading, but were fine. Appliances were serviceable, but could use some updating, however the kitchen was well equipped. The bikes provided were a huge plus and very much appreciated. We also appreciated the cable service and wifi access.
