My husband, son and I moved our RV here in November 2021. We love Six Pier!! Chris and his family are the sweetest and always readily available for any help/ questions we may have. He makes sure the premises is always nice and clean. Everyone there is super friendly. We have made this our home, and we are so glad we did. The view is breath taking and we love fishing from the pier. I’ve attached a... My husband, son and I moved our RV here in November 2021. We love Six Pier!!

I had the pleasure of staying at Six Pier for a few months. Chris was very accommodating and I never had any issues. He communicated well. It’s a quiet place on the water which I appreciated. If you’re looking for a tucked away place to stay or just camp for a weekend, Six Pier is definitely worth considering.

I can't say enough about this precious little piece of heaven we found! It was an Air BnB and we will most definitely stay there again! Chris was very quick to respond to any and all questions and didn't hesitate to offer his services if needed. The little home was super clean and well stocked and mere feet from the water. We had a terrific and incredibly relaxing stay here!! Highly recommend!!
