Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Maggie jo is a 1970 completely restore houseboat. She has got a full size refrigerator , gas range ,microwave and toaster oven. Out on the back deck she has a gas grill. The aft berth has 2 full beds that are extremely comfortable. Galley dinette make into bed and the couch in the saloon pulls out also. While on the decks you will see eagles, dolphins , gator or fishing jumping out of the water. I also have 2 tandem kayaks for your use.

The space
The marina is at private residence that sits on sampit river in Historical Georgetown SC. The marina is a common area . There is a quiet time from 10:00pm and 7:00am. Please no
load music or load voices during this period.
You can spend your time on one of 3 decks . Rear deck has gas grill and is in the sun. The forward deck has built in bench and a table and chairs , it is in the shade. The upper deck will provide best views, it has table and chairs .
The galley has nice dinette that 4 people can sit to eat or play some card or board game.
But the best part is the river . You can just sit there and be amazed of the beautiful sunsets or just watch all the wildlife.
You can fish right off the boat , docks and pier , might pull in one, of a dozen species.
Or you could just jump in the kayaks , go up river and take a calm ride down pennyroyal creek.
Make a week of it and you could spend a day or 2 on the river. A day in Downtown Georgetown, maybe you will take the fox rabbit tours where they ride you around downtown and the neighborhood . Giving the history of all the churches and homes and who lived in them. Or you might take one of the tour boat out into winyah bay to see the light house or ride the rivers.
Head out to the beach for a day . Pawleys island beach 12 miles away . Huntington Beach State Park 15 miles away. Don’t forget Myrtle beach just 25 miles away .
We are also a 1hr country drive to downtown Charleston . If you go I recommend going to see the Uss YorkTown to pay tribute to our service men and women that ensured our freedom in WW2.
