What's the difference between 'beach cottage' and 'beach cabin' ?

Question

Look ⟦кɘʟʟу⟧:

I read 'beach cottage' and 'beach cabin' on the Internet all the time!

Answer 1

A cottage has foundations and is usually built of stone.  A cabin does not have foundations and is usually built of wood.

Answer 2

Beach Cottage is cute.

Beach Cabin is rustic.

Answer 3

Well, the both resorts offers almost the same outdoor activites including kayaking, boat and waverunner rentals, parasailing, fishing charters.. bla, bla, bla. But the "beach cottage" refers to a usually small frame one-family house or a small house for vacation use, with sufficient space between cottages to provide a sense of privacy. You even get cottage rentals reservations for family vacations, romantic couples getaways, etc, etc. The diference is that "beach cabin" features sleeping accommodations with a maximum of 12 people, it´s like a BIG house perfect for families with children because they book only one party/family at a time to ensure comfort and privacy.

I guess that all! Cya ^_^

I just used "beach house," though. I've never said "beach cottage" or "beach cabin."
