Pet-Friendly Waterfront Cottage on the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia
Charming Waterfront Cottage on the Chesapeake Bay
Welcome to this charming 1950s-era waterfront home, where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets on the Chesapeake Bay.
Situated directly on the water, this cozy retreat is perfect for guests who love being close to nature. The private setting is home to a variety of wildlife, including seagulls, ducks, geese, and other waterfowl, making it an ideal escape for those looking to relax and reconnect with the outdoors.
Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, the property offers a peaceful and secluded atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to local attractions.
This single-story home features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, with no stairs to navigate.
Please note that this is an older home, and with that comes some of the character and quirks typical of properties from this era. You may notice features such as single-pane windows, window air-conditioning units, and older plumbing fixtures. Everything functions as intended, but if you're seeking a brand-new luxury property, this may not be the right fit.
We take pride in offering an authentic waterfront experience and hope you'll enjoy this step back to simpler times. Some closet doors show their age, and because of our waterfront location, the occasional insect may make an appearance. These are simply part of life along the bay and do not detract from the beauty of the setting.
