The main house, built in the late 1800's, has 4 bedrooms, each one with long views over the bay and marshes, 2 bathrooms, a large eat in kitchen and sitting area with views of the marsh and bay.

It is a resting place for migratory birds, monarch butterflies, and a home to ospreys and eagles, as well as a winter home to seals.
