(Pet Friendly) by RedAwning \*\*Child and Pet Friendly - Steps away from the Beach - Privacy Galore!\*\* My family loves the rustic character of our older beach front cottage and we hope you will too. Sometimes you can hear the wind whistling through the original single pane windows. You can smell the wood burning fireplace as an occasional draft works it's way down through the hundred year old chimney and fireplace. Some of the original plumbing fixtures remain, working fine, but aged. The original wood floors can creak from time to time and the sand has a way of working itself in through the many crevices that open and close with the humidity of the bay. Some of the doors and windows may not open with ease as they suffer from the same malady. I would like to temper your expectations of our Rustic and Historic Beach Cottage. You can see the water from the porch, sitting room and the main living area of this very cool beach front property. This home features 3 large bedrooms containing very comfortable pillow-top mattresses and high end bedding. There are 1 1/2 bathrooms and a roomy living room and kitchen. It has a very large porch for grilling out (Charcoal Grills) and socializing. We recently installed a 50" Smart TV and WiFi. We have on site parking for two vehicles, with space for 2 more just in front of our garage. Additional parking is available on the street. This set up is perfect for your 4 legged friends - with hardwood 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 Rustic Beach Cottage situated right on the beach of the Chesapeake Bay! The Master Bedroom has a Queen Size Pillow Top Mattress - It is Fantastic! The 2nd Large Bedroom also has a Queen Size Pillow Top Mattress - It is also Fantastic! And I just added a Full Size Bed for a few extra guests, if needed. The 3rd Bedroom has 3 Twin Size Pillow Top Mattresses with Memory Foam - the kids will not want to get out of bed!! Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 112 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. Our bathrooms are not as large as modern built, but even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home. As this is a residential area, we ask that our guests be respectful of the neighbors by keeping noise levels to a minimum. This unit is completely private and shares nothing with other units - except the semi-private beach. You have private parking, entrances and exits, barbecue grills (charcoal) and a wide, expansive and private back porch. Years ago, two additional units were carved out of this Beach Front Property - one in the attic and one in the basement. I hope you enjoy the rustic nature of this cottage as much as we do!

Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### It was okay. Our stay was okay. The house was in an excellent location to the beach, however very difficult to find from the road. The house was a great size & the beds were so comfortable. I rate this with a 3 because I felt like there were several things that desperately need updated. The faucets in the bathroom were heavily rusted and leaking. When taking a shower, our faucet diverter broke so we werent able to take a shower the last day of our stay. There is not much of an ocean view as there is a lot of foliage growing on the screens of the porch. Our grill was not operable as the inside was completely rusted out. I contacted our host but he was unable to repair before we left which is completely understandable. Our host was very attentive and quick to answer. If the inside gets updated a little, I would gladly return! ret8rn return. ##### Autumn H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pj M.

Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Awesome view, a little hard to find. It is clean but an older house so don’t expect new home vibes. You can walk to the beach easily. The Tv speaker was broken, the stove was off but the light to warn it was on stayed lit, most of the lightbulbs were not working. ##### Donna R. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica U. Jun 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good beach cottage! We had a wonderful stay. Great location on the beach and small town so not a lot of traffic. Cottage is old, so it has its quirks, but it’s good for a beach trip. Great brewery walking distance across the street - always a perk! If you bring your dogs, the beach has dog hours. No dogs on the beach from 10am - 6pm. The owners also might have dog restrictions that aren’t listed. After I booked they requested I send them my dogs breed, age, weight. Then gave me approval to bring them. The cottage is not a private home to rent, it has an upstairs and downstairs apartment, so neighbors you need to worry about noise. The rental company will also add your email to their email list and start sending you their other vacation rentals - which I was not a fan of. ##### Jessica U.
