This was a decent little getaway! Cute, clean cabin, private secluded cove with only one neighbor. Close boat ride to Bubba’s Brews…good food and awesome atmosphere.
I didn’t deduct any stars but there was a slight issue with the dock stairs. The steps on the last section of stairs are not wide enough, if you aren’t prepared you’ll tear your calves up and bust your butt. My husband and I had to turn sideways to walk down then without falling and we aren’t large people. Heads up to any fellow epiPen Mamas, the dock is infested with mud daubers, you cannot sit on the dock and enjoy swimming…they are literally everywhere and give you no personal space. Luckily they aren’t aggressive like wasps but still unnerving when you’re in the middle of no where with ZERO cell service and your kid is allergic to stings. I know nature isn’t always preventable but there was so many nests, removal/treatment would be acceptable here.
Also, we were told we could park our boat trailer at the top of the driveway. I absolutely do not recommend this. The last bit of road to the house was barely wide enough for our truck alone. We spent the first hour after my husband arrived with the boat trying to turn the boat trailer around by hand while not losing it off the cliff. Then there was barely room to turn the truck itself around. It had to dangle off the side way too much for my liking to get it turned. This driveway/parking situation is certainly small car friendly only, maybe a small small truck.My husband drives truck and trailer almost every day so wasn’t an operator error.
Last tip…use Beach Island marina to launch your boat…it’s the closest and easiest to get to by far. My husband got lost three times on his way from the one that was recommended for us to use, and with zero cell service we could not get a hold of each other. Definitely some freak out moments waiting for him and two of my kiddos at the cabin forever.
