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. The third room/children's room includes a set of twin beds, closet full of books and games, conveniently located next to the hall bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

Make sure you flip thru our Welcome Book for useful information on the property & recommendations for dining out or popular attractions in the area. Seafood Lover's must visit Graham & Rollins Seafood, an iconic mainstay of our salty little town.

Check In is 330pm and check out is 1030am. Rates are for 6 people. $150.00 additional fee/each additional guest for a maximum of 2 additional guest.

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!
