The homes are duplexes with private entrances, two or three bedrooms, high ceilings in many areas and generally 2-3 bathrooms. The homes have a comfortable contemporary feel and have both back and front yards. The community was built in the 1980's. Many of the homes border the woods and enjoy privacy.

There are 267 homes in the Mariner's Point Community Association – 163 are in Mariner's Point and 104 in Mariners Landing (a townhome community on the opposite side of Edgewood Road). Mariners Landing owners are also members of the Mariner's Point Community Association.
