Otter Cove History:
Meticulously selected by the owners, each room has specific, sentimental pieces that have been incorporated to preserve the memory of their loved one who sought refuge at his peaceful haven. The family is honored to open up this sacred ground; allowing others to create lasting memories while finding their own sense of serenity.

The real staple of the home was once the water wheel house. Every churn of the wheel displayed a true labor of love, as it was creatively built from scratch in 2014 by a very beloved father and papaw. Sadly, Hurricane Micheal swept it away in October 2018; however, the young grandson of its founder has plans to rebuild in the near future.

Family friendly and great location. Close to the Cape and PSJ. Very quiet and private. Beautiful view.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Otter Cove was a sweet, homey family beach house. You can tell it's been much loved by the owners and their extended family and a lot of good memories have been made there. The house was clean and the starter packs of soap, dishwasher det, etc. were very nice. There are lots of steps for those with compromised mobility! The house was well outfitted and all the books, games, etc. were fun to get into. Our only complaints were the extremely musty smell, especially upstairs. It was like an old attic smell and was pretty overwhelming. We actually had to go buy Glade plug-ins to sleep upstairs and they definitely had a sewer fly issue in one of the bathrooms (we poured bleach in the drains). The tubs could use updating too. Overall the house was situated in just the right area and my husband and I had a pleasant stay. We requested late-checkout and enjoyed a leisurely checkout day. Thank you for sharing your house with us!
