This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage sits on a large waterfront property, a nature lovers dream filled with mature oak and cypress tress. The newly designed dock is perfect for enjoying an "alfresco" dinner or an afternoon lemonade.

Each bedroom in the cottage is uniquely designed with guest comfort in mind. "Casper" memory foam mattresses, luxury "Brooklinen" linens, and the latest tech connect-ability are just a few of the details that make the cottage feel like home.
