Oceanfront White Stone Cottage w/ Private Beach!

Reviews

• 5/5

  The property is a quaint cottage that sits right on the Chesapeake Bay. The amenities are simple but adequate and comfortable (don't expect high-end luxury, though). The owner and property manager were very attentive and a pleasure to work with. The only issue we had was unrelated to the house; a big Nor'Easter resulted in storm surge that caused the Chesapeake to overflow the seawall and flood the waterfront neighborhood, including the property. Absent that, it would have been the perfect getaway weekend.

  The house is quirky and fun. The view is incredible and we all felt at peace just hanging out in the backyard, feet from the crashing waves. We will definitely return!

  We stayed at this cottage for a weekend trip, and overall it was a beautiful, quirky spot with a lot of character. The property itself is gorgeous, and you can tell the home has been loved for many years. Personally, I found the imperfections charming, but I wouldn’t recommend it for someone who needs everything to be in perfect working order. There’s definitely some structural wear (think things held together with duct tape and love), the bathroom door doesn’t fully close or lock, and the foundation isn’t exactly flat.That said, if you’re a group of 20-somethings like us looking for a cozy place to lounge around, read, and spend time in the backyard, it’s perfect. Just be aware of a few important details: there is no direct beach access on the property itself, you’ll need to walk a few houses down to a designated spot. We also weren’t told until after check-in that dogs aren’t allowed on that beach, which was frustrating. And while dogs are welcome in the backyard of the house, they are not welcome by the surrounding neighbors or community, so this is not the most dog-friendly environment overall.It was also pretty difficult to get in contact with the property manager, as it took two days to get a reply to a question we had during our stay.Overall, the cottage could use some TLC, but for the right group, especially those who don’t mind a little rustic charm, it offers plenty of character and a beautiful setting.

• Poor workmanship

  1/5

  The pillars on the back porch are wrapped in white duct tape due to them rotting. All windows have paint on them that has not been cleaned up. The cupboards are packed with random plates and dishes, so there is no room to store any food you bring. The gardens and edges of the property are over grown with weeds. There are rotting bags of mulch. Along the edge of the yard are piles of shingles, and furniture. The house has a sinking floor and is old, which is fine, but the look of all the work being done is just poor workmanship and was very disappointing. We expected a cute, old cottage on the water. Instead it looks as if no one cares about the house, and it is jammed with picturea, pillows, and dishes.
