Captains View Nestled on the Beach


Captains View is a cozy two bedroom beach house overlooking the southern beach and bay of Cherokee Sound. Beach chairs and lay off chairs are nice for relaxing in the sun . The kayaks make for good fun over the shallow water or to fish from . Also included is bikes for sight seeing or trips to the grocery store .
The arrangement of a 14ft boat and outboard motor is your option .This boat can give you access to areas , beaches , channels , shoreline that are not able to be walked to .The front porch is definitely the most frequently used area of the home partly because of the view but also because it provides a shady, secluded, breezy spot to relax during your vacation. It is the perfect place to have your morning coffee, read a book in the afternoon, or retire after a long day of bone fishing. The Pro kayak is a nice addition for fishing the shallows .

The House is situated only a few footsteps away from the Long Dock where you can swim ,fish ,tan ,picnic and relax. There are many flat sand bars to walk on during the low tides; they are great places to find beautiful shells and sea life . Early tides bring in the fish including the allusive 'Bonefish' that rome freely along the shallow banks of Southern Bay. 'The Long Dock ' and its uncounted wooden pieces has with stood many hurricanes sometimes with little reconstruction needed . This dock is a pillar for the community and is loved by the residents, as well as non residents , both old and young, have helped maintain its condition giving them use and enjoyment. There is loads of history to be found around Cherokee from the early days of the settlement so make sure to bring your walking tennis .There are networks of uncharted paths from several hundred of years ago to be explored . There was wooden boats ,vessels and smacks built for many years on the shore of the inner creek. The art work on the living room wall will reveal that time period . You can learn more stories like this by meeting friendly locals of Cherokee and hearing about the history of this place.

Guests can request access to Watching Bay beach, on the ocean side through a private development 'The Reserve at Watching bay '. There is property for sale , with a variety of vacant lot locations .This is all within walking distance, but bicycles are great for riding through town, especially if you need to go to the grocery store. You can also rent a vehicle in Marsh Harbour beforehand to get around the island in if you wish to leave Cherokee Settlement.

The uniqueness of this home is not only what it does have but it doesn’t have. By separating yourself from a land line phone (which we do not have in the home!) you can find other ways to entertain yourselves. Cell phones do work if needed . However, keep in mind that there is free wireless internet access available so you can bring your business with you if you insist! Cable TV will give and added option for relazation and news information if needed . We hope you will come enjoy a peaceful vacation with the ones you love at Captains View in Cherokee.

We spent 17 nights at this home. Very clean, well maintained, fully equipped, comfortable beds. It was the perfect size for our family of 3. The location was perfect. We spent many days in the water next to the long dock. There were plenty of kayaks available. The flats in front of the home were perfect for bonefishing. The people of Cherokee are very friendly. There was a grocery store within walking distance. Glenn was a gracious host. He was there any time we had a question. Check in and check out were easy. Excited to stay again.

Our Stay at Cherokee

Had a great time staying here! The boat ran great and we were able to explore several islands, catch fish/lobsters, and snorkel right near our house. The locals were friendly and gave great fishing advice. The house was plenty of room for our family of three and had a nice sized backyard. Planning to come again next year!

We stayed in Glenn's house for 14 days! What a wonderful place to get away from it all and enjoy nature! It's the closest house to the long dock and ocean. We highly recommend booking Glenn's boat to explore this beautiful place including a secret beach accessible only by boat! Very clean and warm house, very well equipped, in an absolutely charming little neighborhood with very friendly people. Glenn was always available to answer our questions. As the house is surrounded by nature, bring a good mosquito repellent for the evening! We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Glenn for opening the doors of your paradise to us!!!!
