UNFINISHED BASEMENT (not part of living space):
New (2023) commercial sized washer and dryer are located here along with a kayak, a stand up paddle board, and several life vests for you to use while at the house. During the summer months we have 2 kayaks mounted outside and 1 kayak and the SUP inside. All water toys are brought inside during the winter months but can still be used. There are 2 new sliding glass doors where you can easily take them in/out from.
OUTSIDE:
The newly built steps from the deck lead down to a rather large yard that includes a newly designed fire pit with chairs, as well as, a newly upgraded hammock. Plenty of space to play some corn hole, croquet, toss a frisbee or just let the kids burn off some energy. The charcoal grill is located at the bottom of the steps for you to cook your fresh catch of the day on! There's an awesome outdoor private shower perfect for showering or just getting the sand off your toes after a day on the water. Water to the outdoor shower will be turned off in the winter months (October-April).
GOOD TO KNOW:
**During high tide, a coastal event, and/or after a significant rain, water can come up in the yard in the area around the marsh. In the summer months it’s common to have jellyfish (stinging nettles) in the water.**
