This unique space has been carved out of the basement of our 100+ year old beach cottage. We've recreated this unique space into a bright, clean, comfortable and cheerful little unit where you can create wonderful family memories. I think it is the best location in Ocean View - the beaches, although not quite private, are fantastic! We are situated directly on the water, just walk out your door down the sandy path and you are right on the beach of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! The kitchen features a full size refrigerator, full size gas stove/oven, and all the essentials for meals. It consists of 2 Bedroom and 1 Bath and is accurately described as a basement apartment, inside a beautiful rustic beach cottage. It has it's own private entrance and parking. The windows are the smaller casement style, that contain 3 air conditioning units. You must be able to step down into the unit by descending 3 stairs. Beware, if you are over 6' tall - no jumping allowed!! - there are radiator pipes running along the ceilings that are typical of this type of basement apartment. If you are tall, bring a hardhat!! And if you've ever played basketball in the NBA, this may not be the right place for you!! We are situated directly on the water, just walk out your door and you are right on the beach of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay! I want to temper your expectations with this unit. It is over 100 years old and while I love it, it may not be for everyone as the appliances and plumbing fixtures are a bit dated. This is an apartment that has been created out of a basement space. It is clean and comfortable and of course, on the beach. The ceilings are low and the windows are small. We have done our best to create a comfortable space for you and your family to enjoy! The emphasis though, should be on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Beach and being able to enjoy it while staying in a beach front unit. Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 115 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. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home. Once a reservation has been made, we do not revisit/refund if you have reduced the number of guests or have chosen to not travel with your pet. Quiet hours begin at 9 PM. This is a Family/Residential unit and area. No loud music or noise. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Full-sized refrigerator/freezer - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Please smoke outside only! ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the bay - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Whale watching nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 940 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22130000/22120600/22120549/082ca166.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Bay View - BeachSide, Pet Friendly, Wi-Fi Willoughby Spit - Kitchen - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.6 Excellent 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-29&endDate=2026-01-30&selected=22120549&PinnedHotelID=22120549&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93090000/93082200/93082181/11d0ed5f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy Suite - Pet friendly, Beach Side by RedAwning Willoughby Spit - Pet friendly - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-29&endDate=2026-01-30&selected=93082181&PinnedHotelID=93082181&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77990000/77989900/77989858/500032ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Old Time Beach Front Cottage - The Beach is your Backyard!

The walk to the bay was very quick and easy to do. Grill on the property was nice. The sink and the half bath didn’t work at the time of our stay. Some of the sinks and appliances were a little rusty, but you are at the beach. Overall a great place to stay. ##### Bryan W. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn P.

Luxury linens and comfortable beds. Only complaint was we couldn't get WiFi or watch TV. We were there during hurricane Dorian so guess that may have been a factor. It didn't matter to me but the children were a little bummed. A wonderful place to relax and be on the beach. ##### Debra P. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tonya W. Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not exactly what I expected I knew we were staying in a basement apartment, and that was ok. But I did not expect the disrepair. There were holes in the ceiling and some spots in the walls that were fixed but not painted. Being a basement there was a very musty smell and an odor from previous pets that stayed. A dehumidifier and some air freshener would go a long way. I bought some Febreze and used the whole bottle throughout the week and finally got the smell under control. There was only one functional bathroom and it was very small, the other half bath was out of order. Being on the beach, it would have been nice to have a spot to hang wet clothing outside to dry. More towels for a week stay would have been nice. We only had 2 per person. On the upside, the beds were comfortable, there is a large tv and the internet worked well. For the most part the apartment was clean, just needed some tlc. I was not expecting 5 star accommodations and knew this was an older property, but for the cost of the stay I think some things could be fixed. ##### Tonya W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Valerie C., Fredericksburg Oct 12, 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not What We Pictured It didn't look as well in person as it did in the pictures. The property description was accurate in that it was a basement space, but it was VERY rustic and misleading as far as the actual beach access. We thought that it was a back or side door with direct access to the beach - it is not and you have to walk around the house, where others are renting above, to get to the path to the beach. The beach itself was exactly as we expected and had hoped for. It would have been nice if there had been a outdoor sitting area for our part of the house. For the age of the house, the owners have definitely tried to work with what they have, and it is cute, but a little too rustic for our taste. ##### Valerie C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Terri D. Jun 25, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### property not recommended We would not recommend this property as a vacation rental for anyone. There is no rustic charm . . . just an old, dirty, moldy, damp basement and probably not even safe. The smoke alarms were disarmed and laying about the property, material stuffed into electrical sockets and a couple of exposed light sockets overhanging the shower, mold everywhere especially the kitchen sink and taps, holes and water stains in the ceiling, rusty old refrigerator. We paid almost $2,500 for 4 people plus pets to stay here. Only 2 of us stayed as there was no refund and we couldn't afford alternative accommodation . . the others were totally repulsed and did not stay. Good beach access and nice beach! ##### Terri D.

I really appreciated the low traffic and noise, the private parking, and semi private beach. Will definitely book this property again! ##### Michelle C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Emily H. Jul 27, 2022 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not Worth It The beach was lovely, but everything else was a bust. The space is in poor condition: my kid punctured his foot on an exposed carpet staple, there is visible mold throughout the ceiling, and the ceiling is reinforced with shims as it is also visibly sagging with damage. The a/c is cool (though very, very loud). The bathroom has unfinished drywall in the shower cubby, the bathtub faucet does not work (shower only, which is not great for kids), and the water would shift to scalding without notice. I felt unsafe having my kid in the tub with the water running as the temperature was so variable (the upstairs neighbors also warned us about this issue). Though the listing says it sleeps 5, we were also charged an extra guest fee for 3 adults and 1 toddler. I contacted the host to ask about this and they said that the fee is triggered after 3 guests. I cannot find this anywhere on the listing, and the just told me to contact VRBO. I did, but VRBO said that the host is the only one who can help. Frustrating all around. Will not be back. ##### Emily H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### matthew k.

It was nice little place to stay with couple people and small dog. It stayed really cool inside and was right on the beach. Great location too. ##### matthew k.

Short walk to the beach and plenty of room for my family including the dogs. I would definitely recommend this listing for people in the future. ##### Jarrod P.

Nov 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great service and pet friendly The management here it’s the best. If you have any issues all you have to do is reach out. We loved the apartment. It was perfect for me, my husband and our two dogs. The Beach is just a few steps away. It’s nice to be able to take walks on the beach especially with my furry little babies. Stay here and you won’t regret it. George and Kathleen offer top notch service and at prices you can afford.. ##### Shannon D. Stayed 12 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christy q.

Check in is always a breeze and we will continue to stay at this property. We absolutely loved our stay. ##### christy q. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B. Sep 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quick Beach Getaway Cute rustic place and description is very accurate. Straight path to the beach. Communication with property manager was great. We would definitely stay here again if there were not any people in the rental above this one. The nights are very difficult to sleep because you can hear everything they are doing (i.e., music, laughing, banging around etc). But if you can sleep through anything this place is for you! ##### Amy B. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison G.

The location was absolutely perfect! It is on the beach and the area did not get crowded at all! The property pictures and description are accurate and the hosts are so kind in all their communications. We had an incredible time! ##### Alison G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela J.

The beach was not crowded at all, it was almost like a private beach! ##### Angela J. ### 4/10 Poor #### Hien V. Jul 22, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### "Rustic" basement is too old and molding/musty smell Location is perfect. The hosts are very good, responsive and giving clear instructions. However, the basement itself is very bad. Musty smell is so strong. I always smell it even after staying inside for hours. I opened 2 doors in the basement and the musty smell was event stronger. It feels like nobody stayed in the basement for a long time. Bath tub's curtain must have been there for ages. It has lots of black molds. Sometimes I felt like I could not breath because the air was too stuffy and musty. I saw a cockroach one night. Flies and mosquitos come in the basement whenever we open the door. A screen door might be helpful for the air to circulate better. We're fortunate that my youngest son just grew out of asthma past few months, otherwise, his asthma could have been triggered and our vacation could be ruined. I hope the host will try to improve the condition of the basement so guests can avoid possible heath issues.
