Pounds Cottage

Pounds Cottage is a cozy one bedroom oceanfront cottage built by its owners on the Crescent Beach Dunes in 1952. Since then, it has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed by the family. If you like the idea of staying in a quiet, unpretentious beach cottage that’s vintage Florida, Pounds Cottage may be just what you’re looking for. Even your pets are welcome in this seaside home.

Pounds Cottage is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage that sleeps four when the sleeper sofa is put to use. The cottage is a one-level home set on stilts with beautiful window and deck views of nearby vegetation and a glimpse of the ocean at the horizon.
