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.

Very cute cottage and within walking distance of town. Quiet, cute neighborhood. Very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We liked sitting out on the front porch for morning coffee and nighttime wine, watching the far away, but colorful sunset.

Such a wonderful place! Bright and spacious, everything I could need -- fresh towels, fully stocked kitchen, books and information about the area, and a large wooden table in the kitchen that was big enough for eating, checking in on the computer, and working a puzzle. Furnishings are a nice blend of comfortable and stylish, with local artists' works and nice design touches. Walking distance to "downtown" with its art galleries, shops, and restaurants, and an easy drive to Chincoteague or Cape Charles. This was my 4th (or maybe 5th?) stay, and a great place to get away and just relax for a while! Doris is a great host and very responsive to any questions.

Very nice cute cottage, well stocked. only downfall is that windows don't open in some of the rooms due to age and excess paint.

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.

Lovely little house

We just stayed two nights in this cute little house. Everything was adorable, tastefully decorated in a shabby sheik, well thought out style. Our only complaint would be the bathing. We were not a young group, therefore we were unable to use the shower in the clawfoot tub. There was nothing to hold on to when you climb into the tub/shower. Only one of our group were able to shower!Also, the railing going down the back cement steps was not stable, and one of our party almost fell going back in when the railing bent out of the ground and pulled away from the wall at the top. Fortunately, his wife was right behind him and was able to avert what could have been a bad fall! This really should be addressed,

The house was as cute as can be. Stream behind property with chairs and fire pit is a big bonus. I loved the claw foot tub with pillow - decadent. Definitely on our Do Again list.
