520 College Street

520 College Street is a corner lot classic, complete with a screened-in porch and picket fence. Its interiors enjoy a tasteful touch of modernity, ensuring the southern charms never get stuffy. The bedrooms - three upstairs and one master on the ground floor - each possess a calming, spa-like lightness. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces downstairs are equally inviting, with a clear design focus on relaxation. Through the front gate to the closest beach (a 3-minute walk) and out the back door to the village pier - wherever you’re going it won’t take long, and you’ll be glad you’re coming back here. Emmons Realty is proud to add this wonderful home to our rental pool.

Includes wireless internet. We DO NOT accept pets.

  Home is in a great location and the rental company was very good. Living Room area is a little small for 8 people, but other than that it is a nice home.

  We met up with 4 of our siblings here for a long weekend. It brought back many memories as our family owned this house from 1971 until 2008. We grew up on the Island when it was a different place. We never did own a key for the front door.

  5 of us had a wonderful restful vacation in this quaint cottage. It was a reunion of 4 school friends and 1 grown daughter. This is our 2nd year at this address and after considering other comparable locations we decided to come back to this one next summer. Contact with the rental company is quick and helpful.

  Sara A from Alpharetta, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We had a lovely time in SSI and our stay in this cute cottage. It was a very convenient location, we just walked across the street to the beach access on 5th street. It was a good fit for my husband and me and our three kids. I do have to say the bathroom downstairs is only a good fit for a child. Very very tiny. The beds upstairs were super comfortable, the bed in the downstairs bedroom was not. Overall,we really loved the cottage. Its decorated beautiful and very cozy!

  Kathrina G from Greenville, SC recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely adored this cottage! We had plenty of room for our family of six with a bedroom to spare. Three bedrooms upstairs, including two bedrooms with kings and one with a set of twin beds. Sharing the bathroom upstairs. Downstairs was perfect, with the the fourth bedroom with queen and bathroom. Living room with games, full tv options, and super cozy. Beautiful dining room between living room and kitchen. Kitchen is large and very clean. This is a corner lot just a block and half from a beach access. We rented a golf cart and feel one must to do if able! It was so nice and fun to cruise around the island on! Please look under beds for additional fans, chairs and such. We only discovered this when leaving! We loved our stay and would highly recommend. My one and only concern would be for the bathrooms being slightly smaller for anyone that maybe a factor... we will most definitely stay again. We highly enjoyed the side porch in the afternoons for reading and wine! In sum, beautiful place and super clean!!

  a guest from Davidson, NC recommends this vacation rental

  This was our first vacation since COVID-19 started being noticed in March 2020. We had two families together (4 kids ages 7 yrs to 7 months old) for a week. The space is great for this size group. It is an older property but is well maintained and appointed. The kitchen provided a great space to cook and feed everyone in the same room. The full size laundry and outdoor hose/showers allowed us to get cleaned up quickly following daily beach trips. The family friendly beach is only a 3 minute walk away (the main lighthouse area only a few minutes more)! The only downside to the property is the lack of a bathtub for young children and a large amount of glass/breakable décor that you may have to play keep away with. Overall, it's a comfortable house to entertain a fairly large group!

  Michael C recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed in the house for 3 weeks between mid-February and early March. The house is everything presented in the photos and more. I was concerned that the photos portrayed and idyllic version of the home but it truly is an incredible home. We had a few groups of family and friends come visit at different times throughout the visit and every time their reaction was the same: "wow this house is so perfect for a beach vacation." Walking distance to multiple restaurants, the beach, and a short drive to the grocery store.
  Loved everything about our time here. We miss it already!
