We had a wonderful family stay in this little slice of paradise. Our favorite part was easily the dock. It was the site of gorgeous sunsets, amazing stars, fun casting practice, crabbing, etc. The cottage itself had everything we needed, and Joe was lightning-fast in his response to the few questions we had. Thank you for a great time!

Private and quiet area as opposed to the fast-paced life. Fishing is good, but you need to monitor the tides as the area by dock can turn in to a mud flat during lowest tides. Lots of birds in marsh like egrets, terns and pelicans. Did see a dolphin out by oyster bars.

If you are looking for a nice quite getaway this is the spot. The private dock was very nice to fish from and the neighbors were very friendly. Joe was awesome, he checked in with us and made sure we got in ok and if we needed anything. Lots of state parks around to hike or fish or just go veiw. Lots of fishing charters around the area if your looking to go charter fishing. Very peaceful place and just all around awesome!!!

Relaxation

This was a beautiful cottage with everyting that you may need while on vacation. Enjoy gorgeous views of the bay from inside and outside on either of the two porches and dock. It was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed just sitting and relaxing on the porches and dock, fishing and kayaking. The only downside was having to leave.
