Charles Creek's serene, connected waters lead seamlessly to the New River and Intracoastal Waterway, offering endless opportunities for peaceful wildlife encounters, dolphin sightings, and eco-adventures.

Outdoor living is exceptional--relax on the brand-new deck with sunset views and al fresco meals while watching wildlife glide by, enjoy bug-free lounging in the spacious screened-in porch (perfect for birdwatching or otter spotting), and rinse off after water activities with the convenient hot/cold outside shower. The standout is your private boat dock and boat lift right in the backyard, ready for quick launches onto Charles Creek's protected waters and prime fishing spots. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage, central air, ample parking, and the full suite of Escoba Bay perks--including the community horse stable for equestrian lovers.
