About this property

Do you really want to get away from everything? This tiny community on the bay is like stepping back in time. Enjoy a slow paced day with a gorgeous view of the Chesapeake Bay. Start your morning with a cup of coffee or tea on your deck over looking the bay, you might see the crabbers in their boats or an Eagle flying overhead or watching you from a tree. It is not easy to walk away from the serenity of the deck, perhaps you might glance at one of the books you brought from the house or practice Yoga or meditate on the stillness .Maybe after breakfast you might want to take a walk on the beach or the horseshoe ( a road nearby that has private homes and farmland . You can always take the kayaks out or take a raft to the beach. You might be the only person on the beach that day or in the water.
If it is your first day you might need to go to the store for fresh foods . You won't need any staples they are already in the refrigerator and cupboards.Spices, flour, sugar, coffee, tea , mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, creamer, relish and eggs for you first breakfast are on hand. You won't need to bring sheets , towels or beach towels. There is a washer and dryer in the garage in case you need to wash any clothes. You will find a refrigerator in the garage to keep your beverages cold. There is also a private commode in the garage . Great outside
private shower , inside bath has a whirlpool tub. In the evening their are 2 TV's on Cable with 100's of channels. Great restaurants in various towns not to far away. Cape Charles is worth the trip, very quaint town on the water. You will find menus from various places plus Ocean City, Chincoteague and Virginia Beach not to far away for a day trip. You can always go to Onnancock and take the boat to Tangier Island for the day and really step back in time (original English Settlement). There are golf courses and fishing trips nearby as well.

Perfect waterfront cottage

This is a charming, nautical-themed cottage. It was clean and indeed stocked as described (even more stocked than described!)! Donna was fantastic, very nice and always responded quickly to any questions (all of which were before our arrival.). The deck furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed hours lounging on both decks! I can’t wait to return

Gem at Chesapeake Bay

What a beautiful cottage/home located off the beaten path on the Eastern Shore. From arrival being greeted as if we were friends of the family, Donna and her son met us in person, showed us around (very helpful) and gave us helpful hints about the area. Great human connection! Well appointed kitchen, comfortable surroundings the BEST outdoor shower I am missing every day! We had a magical time, made friends with nieghbors and enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and daily swims. Highly recommend although not too loudly, the charm of the area is that not many people know about it. Thanks again Donna! We'll be back.

Fantastic beach getaway

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely beach house. There was easy access to swimming in the bay and lots of beach toys to enjoy. We were also able to fish from the dock. Close to a lovely local winery, beach hiking at Savage Neck state park and Kiptopeke as well as a Virginia Beach day trip about 90 minutes away. My family had a lovely sat and Donna is very welcoming g a a great communicator.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Grimwood

My husband and I bought this beach house several years ago when our children were young. We all loved it instantly. We are not far from Ocean City but they had so much to do here they really did not care if we went to the boardwalk but my husband did take them at least once a year, I usually did not go, the view here is what I always enjoyed and the ever changing bay, one day it can be like a lake and the next waves like the ocean.

Why they chose this property

We chose this one for the view, once you are here you are always looking out at the water, the sunsets are unforgettable. The first time my youngest son saw the sunset(he was 4) he came running to tell us the sun fell into the bay. So many memories, we use to water ski a lot , lots of parties with friends in this area, cookouts, crabbing with pots in garage. You can buy all kinds of fresh seafood in this area and produce.

What makes this property unique

The view is what everyone just loves, so quiet and peaceful. Walk the beaches- might not see anyone. Even if there is rain you can sit in front sitting room and look at the water. We can see storms at a distance and on the other side, they get more rain than we do.
