Nestled in a park like setting the The Dock House offers the best of both worlds. Quiet, comfort & privacy after a day at the beach or a night on the town. The back of the property features a screened porch (but bugs are rarely a concern) that opens to all the sounds and sights a salt water estuary can provide. Hawks, Heron, Egrets, Osprey, Pelicans, Pipers, Turkey Vultures and Woodpeckers are everyday visitors. Game such as Deer, Rabbits and Squirrels frequent the area. Visable from the dock are fish and crustaceans during the daily tidal flow. The side yard is large enough to acommadate a Bocce, Badmiton or a Croquet game. A park style barbecue with patio area is located down in the shade by the estuary perpendicular to the hammock trees. One of the worlds top 25 beaches (voted by National Geographic 2017 & Trip Advisor 2018) is located 2 miles away as the crow flies. Parking at the beach can be found for free at the main entrance area or back towards the shops.
