About this property

Boat Dock, 3 Kayaks, Crabbing, Parking for 10 cars, Walk 3 Blocks to Beach


This large house sleeps 26 people and is waterfront on a lagoon with a fenced-in, gated back deck and boat dock and an upper level front porch with lagoon-front views.

For the use of renters we have two sit-on-top 2-seater kayaks (with room for a dog or child) and one sit-on-top 1-seater kayak with paddles and life preservers of all sizes.

Plenty of parking for 10 vehicles in huge front driveway.

There are no steps at all to enter lower level of house - useful for people with mobility issues.

You can kayak right off your back deck dock onto Little Assawoman Bay wildlife preserve.

The ocean beach is three blocks away - 500 yards from the house - a 10-minute walk, or you can park along the street across from the beach using the 2 neighborhood beach parking permits.

If you prefer to go to Fenwick Island State Park Beach, it is a 5-minute drive south and has restrooms, showers, lifeguards, and a snack bar for grilled chicken and hamburgers.

Our beach is a State Park Beach and has beautiful dunes with no houses on the beach.

There are water views of the lagoon from three sides of the house.
Crabbing is available off the back deck with a local fishing license which you can purchase nearby at York Beach Mall when you get your bait and crab nets.
The back deck is fenced in and has two gates that can be closed securely.
There is an outdoor shower at the lower level entrance of the house.

If you prefer not to walk to the beach, you can park along the neighborhood road across from the beach using neighborhood parking permits. We have a path to the beach.
Dogs are allowed on our beach with a 6 foot leash.

Upper level of house has kitchen, living room, dining area, 2 full bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms.
Upper level dining table seats 10 people comfortably

Across from that ocean beach is a bay beach with parking where children can swim or people can wind-surf (Fenwick Island State Park beach).

The house is decorated in bright beach colors and nautical fabrics with nice quilts and bedspreads and has rataan furniture and many oil paintings of wetlands and beach scenes.

This neighborhood of Bay View Park backs onto Little Assawoman Bay, a wildlife preserve, where there are many wild waterfowl and is a lovely area for biking, hiking, and kayaking.

Coould be better
Could be better. For this kind of money it needs updating. Very hard to wash/dry/pack all linen before morning check out. Bedrooms not conducive to adult couples planning get away from kids.

Kayaking Adventureland
Two spaces for the price of one. Grandparents enjoyed the lower level and access to the dock. The next generation were comfortable upstairs. Community activity on the shaded back deck made everyone happy. The canal access was perfect for kayaking.

Deck House
We docked our boat up to the back deck. The back deck was very nice and easily accommodated our extended family. The house was well stocked with linens and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and small appliances. The dryer on the first floor took a long time to dry clothing. But the biggest negative was the fact that there were no inside stairs connecting the first and second floors.

Accurate Listing
The listing was accurate. We had issues with the wifi. Phone service in that area is not very good so the wifi was slow even when it worked. Other than that, it was the perfect place for our large family group.
