Welcome to this BOATER'S PARADISE on the Slaughter Beach Inlet.

Living on the ocean or bay offers a nice lifestyle but living on the Inlet here offers access to explore the waterways. Whereas the sand and waves are never changing , the boater's life is a true adventure. This home would make an excellent second home for those needing more salt air or this home can be an excellent short term rental.
