🌊 Dockside Retreat | 3BR • 3 Full Baths • Near the Beach
Welcome to Dockside Retreat, a beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-full-bath home located less than 3 miles from the beach!

The home is located bayside on scenic Little Assawoman Bay, giving you the best of both worlds—close to the action but tucked away in a peaceful residential community.
Step inside and you’ll find an open-concept kitchen that flows into the dining area, family room, and sunroom, creating a comfortable space for everyone to gather. The first floor also includes a bedroom with a private ensuite bathroom and a laundry closet. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom.
