From the reviews

The location is gorgeous, and so conveniently located to all of the activities we had planned. Very kind and attentive service, loved the host! The kitchen had everything we needed, and plenty of linens for our stay. The complimentary wine was a nice touch after our long drive!

★★★★☆ — Jessica, Sep 2022

Loved everything about our stay with Cottages at Little River Cove. We were able to bring our 2 small poodles which is always a bonus for us! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and maintained. The view of the ocean from each cottage is so fabulous as well.

★★★★★ — Maintenance, Feb 2022

Truly love staying here! We have gone back twice now with our dog, and I'm sure we'll end up here again next year four our annual coastal trip. They even provide essentials for your dog; bed, bowls, mat for the bowls, sheet for the beach, towel, waste bags and holder, frisbee, and some treats!

★★★★★ — Imanee, Sep 2023

The cutest cottages with a gorgeous view and absolutely wonderful service. So many little touches - from a personalized welcome note and complementary little bottle of wine for us to toys, treats and beds for our 2 pups! LOVED the hot tub. Could not have asked for more. We will absolutely be back to stay again!

Getting married at Cottages at Little River Cove

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
