We had a wonderful time here. We had to leave a couple of days early due to our own circumstances at our home, and it was so hard to leave. It’s quiet and we spent a lot of time on the screened in porch watching the birds, fish and squirrels. The white squirrel visited every morning. Our pets loved the little beach. You must go to Mashes Sands Beach and to the beach on Bald Point Rd. It is a nesting area for horseshoe crabs. If you don’t want crowds and are looking for a peaceful place to relax and unwind, this is the place for you. We’re hoping we can go back in the near future.
