Dock House - Creek to Beach in 5 minutes

Nestled in a park like setting the The Dock House offers the best of both worlds. Quiet, comfort & privacy after a day at the beach or a night on the town. The back of the property features a screened porch (but bugs are rarely a concern) that opens to all the sounds and sights a salt water estuary can provide. Hawks, Heron, Egrets, Osprey, Pelicans, Pipers, Turkey Vultures and Woodpeckers are everyday visitors. Game such as Deer, Rabbits and Squirrels frequent the area. Visable from the dock are fish and crustaceans during the daily tidal flow. The side yard is large enough to acommadate a Bocce, Badmiton or a Croquet game. A park style barbecue is located down by the and two hammocks in the shade down by estuary to relax and unwind.
One of the worlds top 25 beaches (voted by National Geographic 2017 & Trip Advisor 2018) is located 2 miles away as the crow flies. Parking at the beach can be found for free at the main entrance area or back towards the shops. Paid parking is also available for $8 a day at the Pier. The fishing pier is privately owned and requires a $1 fee for a stroll and history read of the isle or $9 per pole for fishing. The beach is a beauty at all times. Great sun soaking, swimming, bicycling, walking or running. The sand is packed smooth and hard where water touches it. 10 degrees cooler at the beach. A stiff breeze can visit every so often at the beach, anchor your umbrella well or rent a cabana. Be sure to catch at least one sunrise and sunset from the beach breathtaking vistas. Sunset Beach Island accumulates more land mass everyday, a rarity for an island. Some of the best times to visit are late May to June or Sept. into mid Oct. But it's not unheard of to hit 75 degrees in January. Check water temp for swimming plans though.
Calabash is billed as "The SeaFood Capital of the World" starting back in the 1940's. The area usually draws a good crowd around diner time. Fresh shrimp is one of the notables for the area. Many great consignment stores in town and in surrouding area.
