Rent Our Cottage!
Located in Myrtle Beach, Hazel's House is a former beach cottage built in the 1920's. It was moved three blocks inland after surviving Hurricane Hazel in the 50's.
Recently totally renovated, Hazel's House is now available to be rented by our sailing school students as well as their family and friends. It is a cozy one bedroom, one bathroom cottage that is available for couples or individuals only.
