Located in the beautiful waterfront community of Eden Isle, this large home is ideal for family vacations, group getaways, fishing trips, festivals, sporting events, reunions, and extended stays.

The dining areas provide ample seating for shared meals, celebrations, and memorable evenings together.
Large bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations for families and groups, while multiple bathrooms help make mornings and evenings convenient for everyone.
Waterfront Living
