We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It’s in a great location for fisherman‘s access to the river and Bay. We brought our 20 foot aluminum boat and it was very nice to tie up to the deep water dock. The home is full of charm and has a huge room in the back for the kids to play in and watch movies. The kitchen was fully equipped with beautiful pots and pans and cutlery. It even had a brand new propane grill and outdoor burner for fish fries or a low country boil. Highly recommended, we will stay again.
