Step inside a tucked-away hidden oasis surrounded by trees and waterfront views. The apartment is on the 1st floor with a private screened-in porch with views of the 200-year-old Magnolia Tree. The tall windows make the space bright and airy and give you a scenic view of the water from the back bedroom. This space has cozy furnishings to make you feel right at home.

The space
Listen to the birds sing while you enjoy your morning coffee or tea (we provide both machines) on the private screened-in porch.


We outfitted the apt with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The apt has full-sized appliances, an office space, room darkening curtains, and a luxe bathroom. It truly is a haven for long stays and people who want a bright and airy home away from home.

- A southern-style porch with two rocking chairs.
- A large fire-pit with six Adirondack chairs.

- A beautiful outdoor seating area with pendant and fairy lights.
