About this property
Cottage with private beach!
A quiet and cozy cottage boasting a sun-drenched beach with small dunes. We are tucked away from the hustle and bustle with a quick commute to the entire Chesapeake area.
Enjoy endless fun as you bask in the sun, go for a swim, make a sandcastle, fish from the shore or watch pods of migrating bottlenose dolphins dance in the air.
The entrance begins with a temperature controlled enclosed front porch. Enjoy a recently updated kitchen sporting a bright and cheery paint scheme complimented by a butcher block breakfast bar. The dining room provides a front row seat to spectacular sunrises each morning with a wide unobstructed view of the Chesapeake Bay's horizon. It is absolutely a breathtaking sight! As you glide past the breakfast bar, the room opens into a nautical themed living room. CA/CH keeps it nice and cool on hot summer days complimented by ceiling fans in every room. The living room is furnished with a full-size sofa & loveseat with recliners & wood plank flooring. 50” Smart TV in LR w/high speed WI-FI to utilize your streaming services. YouTube tv also included. Large utility room adjacent to the kitchen with loads of cabinets, W/D complimented by a menagerie of small kitchen appliances ( microwave, toaster oven, blender, Keurig, coffee pot etc.) & plenty of kitchenware. Both are generously stocked with supplies to jump start your stay.
The master bedroom is equipped with a Queen size bed, 32" Smart TV, walk-in closet and a full master bathroom with stand-up shower. The Middle room features a full size bed.

So glad we were able to host you. Thanks for being excellent guests! It is an honor to host long time locals.
We absolutely love this place. It's the perfect little gem for anyone who loves the beach. It's peaceful, the people are so friendly, and the actual house is nice and cozy. The house itself is perfect for our family of 4 and comes with all your standard appliances and home amenities. The beach access is cleared and flat for easy traveling (and a super short walk), and the actual beach is beautiful. We can't wait to go back!

So glad to read your review! Thanks so much for being a great guest.
The home was lovely and the neighbors were superb! So friendly. Loved watching all the wildlife, especially the crabs and birds. So nice to have a private beach and not have to worry about the public setting. Highly recommend!
Beach cottage with excellent location - private, comfortable, even comes with dolphins, crabs, and air shows daily. The strawberry moon was awesome - photo doesn’t do it justice.

About the host
Hosted by Ken
This house is a family heirloom and we can only afford to keep it with the help of our guests. We want you to enjoy this small paradise just as we did as kids and later as adults. Our goal is relaxation for you and yours!
Why they chose this property
Buckroe Beach has been in our blood since as long as we can remember. From the dunes that were once on the end near the stone wall, to the fishing pier, the public beach and the long gone amusement park, it is part of us just as our soul is and we never want to leave.
What makes this property unique
Private beach. Beautiful sun rises. American history all around.
