EXTERIOR
Savor your view from the cavernous top deck or the comfort of the enclosed porch. Walk down the pathway among the Cypress trees, flowering shrubs and tall grasses to appreciate your morning coffee on the bench at the end of the dock. During an evening visit with your special drink, relax with the sunset, listen to the rocking of the water while some fish jump, and often experience a gentle breeze. Sit back, forget, and relax from the hectic demands of your daily life.

There are multiple bird species in the area that frequent the garden and water areas just outside your back door. An occasional eagle will grace you with its presence. Don't be surprised if you see some deer visiting the neighborhood during the day and evening hours.

Unwind on the back deck or on the screened in porch and take in the sounds of nature from this wooded lot with a gorgeous view of water in the distance beyond the trees. Or sit on the bench on your own private boat dock on deep waters from which you are welcome to fish or crab. Bring your boat!

You can drop your boat at the community boat launch and tie up to the dock for the rest of your stay. Telephone Northwest Creek Marina, New Bern, for more information. Downtown New Bern is just short boat-ride away.
