We are Located just outdoor of Town, for your complete privacy and recreation, on 2 very cloistered acres... with no close neighbors.

This calming Waterfront Cottage is located on a wide body of water called the NORTH RIVER... however it is not a river at all, but more like a tidal Bay located a very brief distance from the open Sea and protected by barrier Islands. This unspoiled natural utopia includes a 220 ft. Shoreline with a 160 ft. Pier, Gazebo and a 10x30 ft. Dock at the end of the Pier. Great for Sunning, Fishing, Shrimping, Boating, Kayaking, Windsurfing, Swimming... or just watching the Sun go down while having a gorgeous glass of wine.

You are more than welcome to bring your boat as there are boat ramps 10-15 mins. from the home, but due to the tidal bay it is not recommended to tie off to the pier as the tide ranges from six inches to five feet of water at any given time.

The Cottage is brilliant and airy, tidy and newly refreshed(April 2021) with a 'beachy' mood. All the rooms have water vistas! There is an open floor plan with Kitchen, Dining and Living room all together. One of the most delightful feature is a enormous Sun room for waterfront Breakfasts... or just appealing while watching the water fowl and occasionally Dolphins, playing in the water.

Breakfast on the Sun Porch is very something very special!
