Chesapeake Bay, Sandy Beach, Pink Cottage
- Minimum stay:2 nights
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:No
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This is the world's most adorable & tiny beach cottage. Ideal for the solo traveler or romantic couple seeking down time away from the madding crowd & looking to relax on a quiet beach or go sight-seeing. This is an efficiency cottage, so has LR/BR--the orange sofa (pictured) folds down & is the bed, so sleeps one or a very cozy 2. The turquoise bath is spacious & has a stall shower. The kitchen has sink, micro, mini-fridge, NO stove. Cooking is outside on the gas grill with side burner. 2 restaurants nearby (4 miles), one fine dining, one very casual, will accommodate your appetite. There is air conditioning + ceiling fans. The sandy beach is only a few steps distant on the Chesapeake Bay & an outside shower aside the pink cottage will refresh you after your beach time. Incredible sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay!
Pink Cottage Amenities: The Pink Cottage (efficiency) has air conditioning + ceiling fans in addition to the usual Chesapeake Bay breezes. There is an outside shower for your use when returning from the beach, boating, or jet-skiing. The kitchen has sink, mini-fridge, & microwave. No stove. A gas grill with side burner is provided for outdoor cooking. Kitchen items are included as are linens. TV, VCR, DVD. Phone land line with local service included. Bring your calling card for long distance calls.
Activities and Attractions: Boating of all types abounds. Trailer your own boat or jet-ski, wave runner, or load your kayaks on top of your car, and they will see a lot of use at Smith Beach. The community boat ramp (steps from the cottage) is at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and a creek area know as 'The Gulf.' So there is quiet water for novice and/or young kayakers/canoers. The fishing is unsurpassed!! Kiptopeke State Park is nearby for hiking, nature walks, birdwatching, etc. Shop and enjoy the casual to elegant dining options in nearby Cape Charles (10 miles south) or Onancock (30 miles north). Visit Chincoteague Island's (50 miles north) famous ponies and go on the nature walk and enjoy Chincoteague's abundance of tourist/souvenir shops and restaurants. As the eastern shore peninsula area is only 10 miles across & is between the Chesapeake and the ocean, the area is easily explored by car & scenic water/nature vistas are everywhere apparent.

The little pink cottage was perfect for two! The property did have two other cabins that were close but the cottage was in the back and it was easy for everyone to stay out of each other's way. The beach was beautiful and big enough for everyone to relax on. The water was very shallow though and there were no waves, it was like floating in a salty lake! The wildlife around was also amazing, there were multiple types of shore birds. The cabin was very clean inside and I felt the description of it's inside amenities were very accurate. There were some good restaurants around but other activities in the area were slim. We had a wonderful time just laying around on the beach for four days and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone else with similar interests.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway.

The cottage was a cute, well-maintained, and clean. The layout and features were as described. The only thing not stated in the description is that there are two other cottages on the property, making this cottage not as secluded as it seems. Still, itwas a great place to spend a week and I would deffinetly recomend it to a friend.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, age 55+.

From the moment we pulled onto Smith Beach road we knew this was going to be a good vacation. The cottage is just as it looks, so cute and pink! We didn't need a thing. Just our clothes and some food. The beach is also amazing. We didn't see a soul there, it was our "private" beach. If you have kayaks it makes the experience even better. About a half mile from the beach is an amazing sandbar. During low tide its like being on your own tropical island, white sand and blue sky. We hadn't even finished the week and were already thinking about next year.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway.
