Built in the 1950s and 60s, The Shanty was crafted using cyprus trees harvested from the land the cottage now sits upon. The original structure was the main living area (lined with original cyprus and newly added cedar). The kitchen and lower full bath were added in the mid 1960s and the bedrooms and master bath were added in the 1970s. Hurricane Floyd in 1999 forced the sale of the family home of Bonita McLaurin (located at 340 E. First Street OIB). Upon the sale of the "Sunbonnet" Bonita downsized to the "Shanty" and added a small dock. Over the years the condition of the Shanty begin to deteriorate. In 2025 with much love, Bonita's daughter, Lila Bonita, hired J.T. Sipe Builders and the renovation began in April. Renovations completed in September 2025 and we are looking forward to sharing our shanty "The Shanty" beginning March 2026.
