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.

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

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 screened in porch for grilling out and socializing. We recently installed a 60" Smart TV and WiFi.

During the winter months we hope that you will enjoy the warmth that radiates from the original radiators that are in every room - perfect to remove the chill as you come inside from walking and enjoying the beach and bay!

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

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!

We have a Charcoal Grill available for you culinary delight!

This unit is completely private and shares nothing with the other 2 attached units - one in the "attic area" and the other in the "basement area." You have private parking, entrances and exits, barbecue grill (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 bit of modernizing over the years, 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.

I would like to temper your expectations of our Rustic and Historic Beach 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.

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

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
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
