City advice
What to pack
You might want to bring groceries.
In a pinch I can help you, but you will want to bring some groceries unless you prefer to drive about twenty minutes.
Don't miss
Our beach
Feel free to use the kayaks, peddle boat , bench, chairs and futon. You should find life jackets nearby . When the tide is low beach is pretty much free to walk, but when it’s higher please stay on our property near boat house and South to rock outcropping. Please check to make sure there is no burn ban if you would like to make a fire.
Getting around
Our Beach Access
You cannot safely access the beach from the deck. Please walk over to the house and take trail there or you can walk through the yard and access via gravel road half way across lawn to your right. Also, if you get in the canal water, I recommend you rinse your clothes and shoes every time as the salt water has a lovely aroma after a while.
