About this property
Fisherman's Cabin - Water front and Pet Friendly
Welcome to our 1950's era Waterfront home. Enjoy the most beautiful sunsets ever!
This charming 1950's era home sits directly on the water of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.
If you love being on the water, you will love this charming home. This private area has plenty of water fowl, seagulls, ducks and geese - perfect for those wanting to reconnect with nature. This home is surrounded by large trees and bushes, giving it a very private feel.
It's a single story, 3 bedroom/1 bath home with no stairs to negotiate. Please note, this is an older home and as such can have some flaws typical of these homes - single pane windows, Window AC units, dated plumbing etc. Everything functions as it was designed, but if you are looking for perfection, please continue your search.
We are proud of our single level, water front home and hope that you will enjoy the peek back to simple living from 70 years ago. Some of our closet doors are showing their age and from time to time, as we are water front, a bug can make an unexpected appearance. None of this is problematic to us and we hope that you will enjoy our location on the water and close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay Beaches just a couple of blocks away.
Our Master Bedroom features a Queen size bed with a Pillow Top Mattress. We've also installed a twin bed for those needing additional sleeping capacity.
The second bedroom also features one Queen size bed. The third bedroom, or kids room, features two twin size beds.
There's one full bathroom that has a bathtub and separate shower.
We have plenty of off street parking located just steps from the front door in this very secluded private property.
Come enjoy the solitude and the most beautiful sunset views ever!
We are located just a block from the marina and the public boat ramps, so this is perfect for those who want to launch their boat.
We are pet friendly with plenty of room to allow your little friends to run and play! This set up is perfect for your 4 legged friends - with tile floors, don't worry about the sand that is sure to follow you in. Clean up is a breeze.
Fall asleep listening to the gentle waves of the Chesapeake Bay. And let the cool breeze blow away the present day stress! Join us with a small step back in time as you enjoy our charming Fisherman's Cabin situated right on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay!
We have a Charcoal Grill available for you culinary delight! We have an outdoor gazebo with a dinining table/area and chairs to enjoy the view.
In the living room is a 65" Smart TV along with high speed WiFi for your streaming entertainment.

We're thrilled you had a great time! Being close to the water and the beach does enhance the experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another enjoyable stay!
We loved that it was so secluded and peaceful. After a long day at the beach it was a short ride to a quiet little cottage. We loved it and will stay again. The manager was extremely responsive and helpful.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. Originally booked for 2, but added on a 3rd because we werent ready to leave. If you enjoy fishing or just looking at the water, its the perfect spot. It felt quiet and secluded. Will definitely stay again if we make a trip back to Virginia.

We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and the stunning views! It's wonderful to hear your blind poodle had a sensory adventure too. Don't forget those binoculars next time – there's always something new to discover. Thank you for the 5-star review! We can't wait to welcome you back.
The description does say it all. This property is a 1950s house. It's a great little getaway and if your stuck on modern amenities, you do have Internet and a massive TV. The house is off the main road, but this location is away from the typical noise of a beach town retreat. It's a few miles from grocery and such, but it worked well with a few minute walk to the bay side beach.

Could be really nice
Pros: the view, location good for our purposes, TV, comfortable beds
Cons: very musty and odd odors, bugs in the kitchen, bathroom needs repairs of shower faucet and outdoor furniture falling apart. I am comfortable with the premise of an old fishing cabin, but it needs a good deep cleaning. Could be a great little house with a deep clean, good yard cleanup and decent outdoor furnishings. Way, way too expensive for just a couple of nights stay.

It was ok
Had issues with getting into property called numerous times couldn’t get anyone to get the code to get inside
We were visiting our son thats in the Navy! Took 2 hrs after check in to get access code to enter house. Was suppose to rhe get code the morning of check in. Didnt receive until almost 6pm. House needs updated. Windows were taped in the middle due to air coming through, lights flickered the whole time. Bring surge protecters as the plug ins weren't close to bedside tables. Other than that our stay was nice. It was quiet and nice to see our son and spend time with him. Thanks for having us . Windows are taped shut

Not Great
I based staying here off of the reviews on VRBO only one was questionable but had good reviews otherwise. Unfortunately this place is not the best. It’s one thing to be old and another to be cleanly. This was not clean probably the least cleanly place I’ve stayed. Even worse than camping I had my family with me two young daughters and my wife and I could not stay the final night we were uncomfortable the windows don’t lock in a neighborhood that is ok at best. every door in the house is broken. The electrical work is very bad the lights flicker if any appliance is running. The pictures show that it is old but they do not show how dirty this place is. Largest waste of money and will be choosing a hotel or more trusted listings in the future. Very disappointed

Comfortable, noisy, unclean
The rooms were reasonably comfortable. There was mold in the shower and ants in the kitchen. I saw 2 versions of the listing. Both implied that the property was on Chesapeake Bay. It is not, it is on Willoughby Bay. Rather than hearing surf from the Chesapeake, we heard constant traffic noise for I-64, which is very close to the property.
The rental has excellent Internet connection and a top notch smart TV. The parking area became muddy when it rained. A load of gravel would help. The mud ensured that the floors were always gritty. The coffee pot was a nice amenity. It should be listed. The Red Awning clerk we talked to told us that it did not have one, so we brought our own.
One of the 2 listings did not mention pet fees. While these were reasonable, the first we learned of them was when we arrived.
