WATERFRONT AND DOCK DETAILS
The private dock is a favorite feature for guests who enjoy nature, kayaking, and scenic water views.
The dock is tidal, and water depth varies throughout the day.
It is not suitable for large boats.
Swimming directly from the dock is not recommended due to the natural marsh bottom.
Guests looking to swim can easily kayak toward the mouth of the creek, where the bottom becomes sandy and conditions are better suited for entering the water.
This natural marsh environment is part of what makes the setting so peaceful and unique.
