About this property

Charming Cottage - Ultimate Relaxation Destination

I enjoyed Sea Glass Cottage as a vacation rental SO much.... I bought it! You can still enjoy all it's charms and convenient location too.
Onancock is central to all the exciting sights, sounds, and recreation on the Eastern Shore between the historic and scenic Chesapeake Bay and the Ocean. Beaches, boating, kayaking, biking, hiking, wildlife and some of the nations best birdwatching, golf and much much more all at your fingertips! Onancock itself is a delightful small village of interesting and eclectic attractions - excellent restaurants and watering holes, first rate galleries, a wonderful farmers market on Saturdays, old fashioned movie theater with first run movies, live performance venues and so much more. There's a passenger ferry to Tangier at the town wharf for exciting adventures on the bay. Rent bikes and kayaks too. A short trip north takes you to the outstanding beaches and wild pony adventures to be had at Chincoteague and Assateague islands among other nearby destinations. You're going to love it.

Historic Garden Tour

We had an absolutely beautiful weekend at the charming Sea Glass Cottage. We were in the area for the VA Eastern Shore historic garden tour. The cottage is so lovely. The pictures do not really do it justice. We loved the balance of antiques and comfort. The beds are so comfortable. Doris provided everything that we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Very Cute House

This was our second stay. It’s extremely convenient to Commonwealth Senior Living where my mother lives. This was a sweet little cottage to relax and regroup after some very hard days of moving her to Assisted Living.

Seaglass Cottage Getaway

This cottage was perfectly appointed and was located less than a 10 minute walk into downtown Onancock. The cottage was spacious inside and the property had a nice fire pit area by a little creek. Doris was easily accessible and we would rent here again.

Amazing House, Great Location

My friend were doing a girl's trip and needed a place near the Tangier Island ferry. We got so much more! This house is in a great location...3 minutes from the ferry and restaurants and Walmart! All of which we needed! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Doris was amazing to work with as well! Thank you, Doris!

We Want to Live Here!

My cousin and I stayed in the cottage for a girls' weekend. We adore it! We wish we could live here forever! It is clean and comfortable and better than the photos represent. We especially love the layout and charming decor. It is very close to the quaint little town. We enjoyed lunch on the deck at Mallard's. We had lots of fun at The Blarney Stone for karaoke. We highly recommend this cottage!

A gem in a little town

My husband and I chose this destination as a little getaway. The space was a perfect way to relax and leave everyday cares behind. While Onancock is a little town, it it chock full of different things to do. There are many galleries to explore. There are diverse dining opportunities. If you prefer to explore the surrounding area, there are options within a half hour drive in any direction. The Sea Glass Cottage is a very clean and quiet space. It is well stocked with all of the amenities of a hotel and more. There is a fully stocked(equipment, utensils, spices, etc.) kitchen as well as a fire pit and BBQ grill. There are magazines, board games and a Roku TV if you just want to relax. The property owner, Doris, is very attentive and will communicate what her expectations are as well as what she offers to fulfill your expectations. My husband and I are already working on another trip to fit in those things we could not in this stay.

Great house and friendly neighbors!

Sea Glass is a wonderful place to stay in Onancock. Very close to downtown and all the fun with art galleries, great restaurants, and bars. My wife and I highly recommend Sea Glass. Best WI-FI and fully stocked kitchen. Very clean and well maintained home. We are already planning our next visit!

Lovely!

This was my third stay at Sea Glass Cottage, and it was just as nice as I remembered. Everything we needed was there -- well stocked kitchen, beach supplies, lots of fresh towels, books, games, and good services on the TV. The cottage is an easy walk to galleries and restaurants in "downtown" Onancock, and there is information at the cottage about other attractions and activities available on the Eastern Shore. Mallard's provided a delightful dockside dining experience, complete with beautiful sunset and live acoustic music. Second Friday Art Crawl gave us an opportunity to visit several of the galleries exhibiting local art and meet the artists. Didn't use the backyard as much as we hoped to -- it's an expansive space complete with picnic table, grill, and firepit, but it was too hot while we were there to spend much time outside! The cottage is comfortably furnished with a lot of original artwork, and the host is readily available to answer questions. All in all, a perfectly lovely week!

✨Loveliest Cottage✨

We loved our stay! The cottage was incredibly charming, everything was beautiful and very comfortable. The house felt much bigger than we though it would be based on the pictures.. we wished we could stay so much longer! It was the perfect place for hanging out, making breakfast, and sipping coffee in the morning. It is such a beautiful space, so lovely and relaxing. We really appreciated the A/C after spending time by the water on a hot summer day ; ) We had a question for Doris and she responded quickly with kindness. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

Delightful!

Sea Glass Cottage was a warm and welcoming place to stay -- it's nicely furnished with everything you could need, exceptionally clean and well kept, and the picnic table out back is a nice addition this year! The owner provides a binder of good information about the house and full of great ideas about things to see and places to eat. Mallard's on the Wharf was my favorite for feeling the charm of this little town and enjoying a glass of wine while watching the sunset on the harbor. This was my second stay here, and I'll definitely be back -- thanks, Doris, for such a great place to stay!

Great!

We had a great time at the cottage. There was plenty of room for two adults and two teenagers. The well-stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed picking mulberries and the kids had fun at the fire pit. We walked around the town, got some delicious donuts, and checked out a few of the restaurants. We spent our days kayaking, fishing, exploring sand dunes, swimming in the bay and at Assateague beach, hiking, and petting ponies and alpacas up in Chincoteague. We will definitely be back. PS- We had fun watching the cats and kittens next-door, but they all ran from us. There had to be 10 kittens, and a handful of adult cats.We tried to befriend the old deaf one. He like to sleep under my car, but he ran too. He did come back when we put down tuna.

Family Graduation

This house was perfect for my family of 4. We loved every minute of it. We stayed only 9min from my Brother's house. The beds were so comfortable. Everything about this house was perfect for us. Thank you so much. I have never slept so hard in my life.
