**☆☆ THE BAY EXPERIENCE ☆☆**
Step out the back door into your private bayfront oasis. The ThruFlow composite deck platform sits right at the water's edge — perfect for fishing, wading, kayaking, or watching dolphins and stingrays. The bay is naturally shallow near the platform (2–3 ft), making it great for kids and easy water entry. Bring jet skis, kayaks, canoes, or smaller boats to tie off at the platform. Larger boats can anchor out and wade in. Not far from open water? Cast right from the platform — the bay fishing here is exceptional.
