About this property

A "Hidden Gem"- The "White Whale"- Beach Cottage with private beach!

Have a WHALE OF A TIME - Truly a beach lover's paradise boasting a sun-drenched white sand beach with small dunes. We are tucked away from the hustle & bustle but a quick commute anywhere you want to go! Fabulous beach house with it's own slice of pristine private beach!
Enjoy endless fun in the sun as you bask in the sun, go for a swim, make a sandcastle, fish from the shore or watch pods of migrating bottlenose dolphins dance in the air or take a leisurely stroll down the private beach under the moonlight. .

This idyllic beach cottage entrance begins with a temperature controlled enclosed front porch with CA/CH. Enjoy 2021 renovations including a recently updated kitchen sporting a bright & cheery paint scheme; complimented by a chic new butcher block breakfast bar.
The dining room provides a front row seat to spectacular sunrises each morning with a 180- degree unobstructed view of the Chesapeake Bay's horizon. Brilliant reds, orange & yellow hues creep over the horizon illuminating the calm waters of the Bay. It is absolutely a breathtaking sight!
As you glide pass the breakfast bar, the room opens into a large well- lit nautical themed living room. CA/CH keeps it nice & cool on hot summer days complimented by ceiling fans in every room.
The living room is nicely furnished with a plush full-size sofa & loveseat with recliners & beautiful new wood plank flooring. New 50” Smart TV in LR w/ "You Tube" & high speed WI-FI.
Large utility room adjacent to the kitchen with loads of cabinets, W/D front end loaders complmented by a menagerie of small kitchen appliances ( microwave, toaster oven, blender, Keurig, coffee pot etc.) & plenty of kitchenware’s. Both are generously stocked with supplies to jump start your stay.
