Guest Cottage | Walk to the Village & Lighthouse

Welcome to Proctor Cottage!

This quaint cottage is full of character and charm. Located less than half a mile from the Pier Village, at a 2 minute walk, you will be right in the heart of restaurants, shops, and tide contingent beaches. When you arrive at our delightful cottage you will park in the far right gravel driveway that opens up to a beautiful front courtyard. This court yard has plenty of seating and a cozy fire pit with cafe lighting, perfect for a cool summer night. Walking in the door you are greeted with a large open floor plan living, dinning, and kitchen area. The first bedroom on the left is the master with a queen bed and a jack and jill bathroom, connecting to the second bedroom with two twin beds. The bathroom has a larger walk in shower with updated tile. There are two televisions, one in the living room and one in the double twin bedroom. We are located on the same footprint as the Adams cottage (permanent residence in front of Proctor Cottage) and share the same laundry bungalow. We have a privacy fence in place to allow you to be in your own piece of paradise.

Come join us in paradise, we are looking forward to hosting you at Proctor Cottage!

a perfect fit for us

A simple and clean little cottage with a fantastic enclosed courtyard that was devine all times of the day and evening in April. With live oaks creating a full canopy and lush vegetation on three sides with the cottage on the other, the courtyard felt secluded and comfortable. And the fire pit was a nice bonus. The location of the cottage can't be beat with an easy walk to the beach and to the village, and the neighborhood was quiet when we were there for 11 nights.

Everything you need and great location

Up front, I chose this due to the location and price, which were both stellar. In the end, my husband and I were so pleased we found this cute cottage that we will definitely recommend it and stay again. It's perfect for a couple or a smaller family. The shower was great, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

Pleasant house but if you are a senior citizen...

We are in our 70's and the master bed was so high off the ground I could not safely get into it. There is a second bedroom with 2 single beds that I slept in. This has happened to us before as it must be a thing to have a high bed. We could not figure out the TV so we spent a few days without one. We would recommend a info sheet on directions how to operate. We enjoyed our time there and still would stay again.

Great stay

We had a great stay here. My wife and I stayed at this property years ago and were happy to be able to stay again with our two children. It is a cute little house that was exactly what we needed. It is very close to the village so walking to breakfast and dinner was very simple. Even considering it’s proximity to the village it was extremely quiet at night.

Loved the place. Enjoyed that it was close to the village, pier, and lighthouse. Walked across street to Methodist Church. Used the fire pit several times, sitting under the large oaks and palms. Bathroom and kitchen are wonderful. Great, quiet neighborhood. We'd go back tomorrow, but It it's a long drive from the Kansas City area. So glad we found this listing on VRBO.
