Old Time Ocean View Cottage

If you love older or historical original beach cottages, you will love our Old Time Beach Front home. Come enjoy the fantastic beach and the sound of the waves that can surely put you to sleep! Relax on our screened in porch while you enjoy the breezes that are always blowing right off the bay.

We have 3 bedrooms, one is a master with a Queen bed and attached bathroom. The second bedroom has a Queen Bed and a Full Bed. The third bedroom has 3 Twin beds. We have a charcoal grill for your use. We also have a large Smart TV for you streaming services. Parking is right outside your door. We also provide a kayak for you to explore the Bay.

I would like to temper your expectations of our Old Time Beach Front Cottage. 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.

My family loves the rustic character of our older beach front cottage and we hope you will too.

From the back screened in porch you are just steps away from the sandy dune and the beach. You can hear the waves and feel the bay breeze! We offer a Webber Charcoal grill for your use.

We have off street parking just outside your front door and for your entertainment and streaming services we have high speed WiFi and a 50" Smart TV.

As this is a residential area, we ask that our guests be respectful of the neighbors by keeping noise levels to a minimum.

I hope you enjoy the rustic nature of this cottage as much as we do!

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!

This unit is completely private and shares nothing with the any other units. 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.

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.

This is a Family/Residential unit and area. No loud music or noise.

**Quiet hours begin at 9 PM.

This was one of the most enjoyable stays. My family and i spent countless hours on the porch even though we couldn't see the ocean we could hear it. Everything was clean and very comfortable We will be returning
