(WE HAVE ANOTHER WATERFRONT PROPERTY ON VRBO. CHECK OUT EAGLE'S WINGS PROPERTY #1628884)

Take in the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the Sound from the 180 degree view of the ocean while lounging in the spacious master suite with cathedral ceilings. Look to the West and find Shoofly Creek running through to meet the ocean. It is quite a sight to watch salmon make their way up the creek from the sea right in the backyard during spawning season!

Don’t forget to go out onto the waters for some fun kayaking (kayaks and life vests included), swimming, fishing and crabbing. If you re lucky, the herons , porpoises, and seals might make an appearance as well! Grab some jet ski rentals and take off into the horizons!

Take long walks along the water, shoot basketball with a water backdrop, or just soak in the Sound! Admire the seabed during low tide (small crabs, starfish, jellyfish and many more!). Have the kids ride bikes, scooters, or just run around in the fenced-off front yard along the long private driveway. Come inside for netflix, PS4, and board games or settle down into the kids reading corner.

If you're looking for a culinary experience, we have an amazing kitchen with high end appliances for you to cook up a feast! Let's not forget the outdoor BBQ if you want dinner outdoors. As the sun descends, light up a campfire just steps away from the covered backyard and treat the family to stories and s'mores.

When it s time to wind down, there are 5 bedrooms for you to choose from and 4 bathrooms + 1 powder room to refresh in. Shoofly Retreat can comfortably host up to 15 with laundry and kitchen stocked with all necessities and amenities you may need.

****please note we are now a NO SHELLFISH COLLECTION BEACH to avoid complications with property lines and also for the sustainability of our beach*****

I stayed at other beach front vacation homes, including those in CA, nothing as comparable as staying here. Docking our boat close by and we were able to enjoy tubing, swimming, site seeing, canoeing, crabbing and fishing. On land there are games for kids, wifi for movies, basketball .... Looking forward to stay here again!

Spacious, relaxing and perfect getaway!

Stayed here with friends and family for a long weekend and had a blast! Spent time kayaking during the day on the calm waters just feet away from the house. Plenty of activities for the kids like discovering small crabs on the beach, basketball upstairs and outside to watching movies on the PS4!

This home is gorgeous from decor to scenic views! The master has panoramic views of the bay and a balcony that almost wraps the entire upper floor. Plenty of space and bedrooms for our entire family! The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need including a separate fridge to chill wine! I will definitely be booking here again and have recommended it to all of my friends and family!
