When you reach the covered front rocking chair porch, take a second to stop and listen to the gentle breezes rustling leaves, punctuated by relaxing bird call.

As you step inside the two-story entryway, you are greeted by warm hardwoods and drawn across the living area to the home's back wall of windows displaying the calming perspectives of the Island's estuary. These windows side this getaway's serene living space which features a fireplace, constructed-ins and egress to an oversize, water-facing wrap-around back screened porch. On the porch, you can relax on the hammock or in one of the three seating areas or appreciate a bite alfresco at one of the two dining tables-all while watching Nature's show of tides, egrets, and other wildlife.

The first is a bright corner room with two Twins that uses the full bath, with tub, just outside its door. The sunlit corner Primary King suite charms with its wall of windows overlooking Bald Head Creek and has its own screened porch entree. It also features a enormous, spa-like ensuite with a garden tub, shower and dual vanity and an oversize closet.

Upstairs, a cheery corner suite is outfitted with two Queens and enjoys its own ensuite with a tub/shower. There is also a second bedroom set up with two Doubles and a second Primary King suite with its own huge full bath ensuite. All three of these upper bedrooms not only grant inspiring marsh tableaus through their windows but also deliver access to this floor's treetop deck-the ideal place to savor coffee while watching the sun rise or savor a peaceful read or peaceful nap.
