On the first level, enjoy:
• Porch swing
• Dining table for sunset dinners

• Direct White Oak River access
• Gas grill for coastal cookouts
• Long private driveway
• Quiet waterfront surroundings

This home was designed to be enjoyed outside.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

Bedroom 1: King with ensuite bath and water views

Additional built-in twin captain’s beds are located upstairs, though the home is intentionally listed to sleep six for comfort and space. Linens are not provided for the twin captains beds.

DESIGNED FOR CONNECTION

• Fully stocked kitchen with updated appliances
• Dining space for gathering
• Two TVs total (living room and upstairs den)
