Go right off your private dock, or choose to spend your time simply relaxing on the waterfront deck.

My family and I had a wonderful trip and rented this location to attend a family reunion near by. The house has amazing views and very quiet. Sunsets were spectacular. Pick up groceries on your way since the closest location is a Dollar General about 10 minutes away. Layout worked well for our family. The loft was very nice and we appreciated the non-slip grips on wooden stairs; although, loft ceiling is very low near top of stairs and I (5’11”) hit my head every single time (but that’s partly on me for not learning). The storm doors are incredibly out of square, with visible gaps that apparently let in insects . There were quite a few insects / cobwebs in the loft area ceiling due to the gaps, and our daughter didn’t want to sleep up there, but there was room in the bunk room. If you bring a dog, just be aware that neighbor dogs are off leash and like to visit, but everyone was very friendly. Overall, amazing location and exactly what we expected for a coastal home. Thanks!

The property is as described and pictured I. The listing, quiet neighborhood (at least on the days we were there Sunday - Tuesday)… beautiful views, sunrise and sunset, everything needed to cook etc. cottage was clean but does need some repairs/attention … may not be the best choice for very young children. And although we were excited to catch crabs and fish from the dock, we were informed by locals that due to contamination in the water the fishing and crabbing has not been good there for a couple years. It is a perfectly quiet little getaway on the water tho!
