The Lookout at Crow Hill

DeniseRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The house was just right for my husband and I. He loved being able to go to the end of the dock from the boathouse to catch bait to go fishing with. At low tide we sat out on the back porch and watched all the birds coming and going. She was very responsive and answered any questions we had

Summer Breeze outdoors delight

DavidRating, 5 stars12 months ago

This place is absolutely beautiful. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious with a large living room and kitchen. The deck is wonderful with fantastic views of the river and sunsets. The walkway to the dock is set up with solar lights accenting the view at night. Our only complaint is that there is no trash service and if you stay more than 3 nights, you have to take your trash to the dump yourself. This may be due to the newness of the community.

A wooden boardwalk extends through marshland, surrounded by tall grasses and shallow water. The path is lined with weathered wooden railings and leads toward a cluster of trees in the background, with an overcast sky above.
