Where the Sun Meets the Sea – Welcome to Little White Egret

Discover Historic Gibbs Cottage #5, also known as Little White Egret – a charming retreat nestled on Allister Street in the heart of Old Town. This delightful cottage is just a short stroll from popular restaurants, shops, and Fisherman’s Wharf. The pristine beaches are also only a quick drive away, offering endless opportunities to bask in the sun and surf.

Step inside and you'll find an inviting open-concept layout, thoughtfully designed to blend the living, dining, and kitchen areas for a cozy and functional space. The layout is perfect for both relaxation and convenience, with a sofa that doubles as a bed to accommodate extra guests.

Unwind on the deck, soaking in the Port A sunshine and breezes in a serene setting. After a day of beachside adventures, retreat to the cozy bedroom for a restful night’s sleep, recharging you for another day of exploration.

Experience the timeless charm of Historic Gibbs Cottage #5 – your ideal home away from home. Book your stay today and embrace the beauty and tranquility of this wonderful escape.

This property includes three separate houses, perfect for multiple families who want their own private space. Each home offers a unique and comfortable living area, ideal for shared or extended family getaways. The other cottages are Gibbs Cottage #3 Lost Flamingo and Gibbs Cottage #8 Little Blue Heron.
