Welcome to your dream waterfront escape in Chance, MD! Experience pure bayfront bliss at this beautiful retreat, nestled directly on the wide-open waters of Tangier Sound. Step outside to find your own private pier, where you can spend your mornings casting lines or pulling up fresh Chesapeake blue crabs right from the dock. As evening falls, your spacious deck awaits for the most stunning sunsets the Eastern Shore has to offer.
A Year-Round Sanctuary: This cottage is a wonderful place to stay, unwind, and relax even in the fall and winter months.

The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the quiet, scenic crabbing community of Chance, you are surrounded by the natural beauty of Somerset County:
* Boating & Water Access: Located just minutes from the public boat ramps and marinas of Deal Island, making it easy to launch your vessel onto the Chesapeake Bay, so bring your boat, kayak, and/or canoe.
* Outdoor Recreation: Explore nearby Deal Island Beach, local wildlife management areas, and abundant waterfowl birdwatching grounds—which are especially spectacular during late fall and winter migrations.
Be sure to bring your food and drinks as there is currently no stores on the island. You are about a 15 minute drive to Princess Anne, where you will find a grocery store, liquor store, and convenience stores.
The property is sprayed weekly, during the spring/summer, by the county for flies/mosquitos/gnats.
