BRINGING YOUR BOAT

Guests must launch boats at a nearby public ramp, as the North River Shores community ramp is not available for guest use. Once launched, you can dock your boat right at the house.

The private dock accommodates boats up to 25 feet and features a 12-foot fixed bridge, making it ideal for fishing boats and low-profile vessels. From the dock, it’s approximately a 25-minute cruise to the inlet.

Fishing from the dock is encouraged and enjoyed by many guests. Fishing rods are provided, and a fish cleaning station is located at the dock. Please clean the area after use.

Covered patios wrap the home and offer multiple outdoor living rooms with sofas, chairs, ceiling fans, and a large outdoor TV. You’ll find three separate outdoor dining tables, sun loungers, a swing, a fire pit, and plenty of conversation areas so everyone can gather or spread out. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after swimming or boating easy.
