About this property
Bayfront Bliss on Tangier Sound: Private Pier & Stunning Sunsets!
Welcome to your dream waterfront escape in Chance, MD! Experience pure bayfront bliss at this beautiful retreat, nestled directly on the wide-open waters of Tangier Sound. Step outside to find your own private pier, where you can spend your mornings casting lines or pulling up fresh Chesapeake blue crabs right from the dock. As evening falls, your spacious deck awaits for the most stunning sunsets the Eastern Shore has to offer.
A Year-Round Sanctuary: This cottage is a wonderful place to stay, unwind, and relax even in the fall and winter months. When it becomes too cold to comfortably spend the day outdoors, the bright indoor spaces offer a peaceful front-row seat to crisp winter air and quiet coastal beauty over the bay. It is the ultimate cozy retreat to completely unplug and recharge at your own pace.
Custom Climate Comfort & Entertainment:
* 3-Zone Heating & A/C: The cottage features a modern, ultra-quiet mini-split system with 3 individual units (located in the bedroom, living room, and sunroom). Temperatures can be adjusted independently in each room so every guest stays perfectly comfortable.
* Entertainment: Stream your favorite movies and shows on the Smart TV after a day on the water.
* Free Wi-Fi: High-speed internet is included throughout the property so you can work remotely, browse, or share your sunset photos instantly.

* Capacity: This comfortable cottage safely and comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests.
* Primary Bedroom: Features 1 comfortable Queen-size bed with fresh linens and storage space.
* Living Room: Relax by the water views on a premium Queen-size pull-out sofa.
* Sunroom: A bright, window-filled oasis equipped with a second Queen-size pull-out sofa—the perfect spot to drink hot coffee and watch the sunrise over the Sound.
Fully Stocked for Your Stay:
We provide everything you need for a stress-free, pack-light vacation:
* Linens & Towels: Fully stocked with all fresh bed linens, cozy blankets, bath towels, and kitchen dish towels.
* Kitchen Essentials: Equipped with dishes, silverware, cookware, coffee pots, (drip type & Keurig), slow cooker, toaster, blender, mixer, microwave and basic spices.
* Outdoor Comfort: Plenty of comfortable chairs for outdoor seating are provided so you can lounge comfortably on the deck or by the water when weather permits.
Arrival & Outdoor Living:
* Charcoal Grill: Conveniently located on the premises right as you enter the cottage, perfect for cooking up your fresh catch (guests bring their own charcoal/lighter fluid).
* Spacious Waterfront Deck: Overlooking the bay, this massive deck features a classic picnic table for family meals and a bar-height table with stools for sipping drinks at sunset.
* Cottage Side Yard: The other side of the cottage offers a second outdoor retreat, complete with an additional picnic table and umbrellas for cooling off in the summer shade.
* Private Pier: Yours to enjoy exclusively. Walk right out back to crab and fish off the pier whenever you like.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in the quiet, scenic crabbing community of Chance, you are surrounded by the natural beauty of Somerset County:
* Boating & Water Access: Located just minutes from the public boat ramps and marinas of Deal Island, making it easy to launch your vessel onto the Chesapeake Bay, so bring your boat, kayak, and/or canoe.
* Outdoor Recreation: Explore nearby Deal Island Beach, local wildlife management areas, and abundant waterfowl birdwatching grounds—which are especially spectacular during late fall and winter migrations.
Be sure to bring your food and drinks as there is currently no stores on the island. You are about a 15 minute drive to Princess Anne, where you will find a grocery store, liquor store, and convenience stores.
The property is sprayed weekly, during the spring/summer, by the county for flies/mosquitos/gnats.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cozy cottage. The views were amazing and there was a pier right there. The crabbing was fantastic. We really enjoyed spending time on the water. The cottage was comfortable and relaxing. The host was easy to get in touch with if needed. We really enjoyed our stay.
This little cottage was wonderful! The weather was picture perfect, and I revisited a couple of skills that were very rusty: charcoal grilling and crab picking! I loved the isolation of the place as well, and I will definitely be back. 5 stars all around!
We are very happy we chose this vacation home. We wanted something unique, and that is exactly what we got. The location is stunning—it feels like the edge of the world, with incredibly beautiful sunsets. Everything was spotless and tastefully furnished. There is a large grassy area, making it very comfortable for us to stay with our two dogs (they had plenty of room to run around).It was very easy to communicate with the hostess.The neighbors turned out to be lovely people; they treated us to local blue crabs, cooked using their own recipe. They even showed us how to clean them to get to the meat.All in all, everything was fantastic. Many thanks to Debbie.
We had the best week staying here. Weather was fabulous. Beautiful view, enjoyed morning coffee sitting on the deck. We had crabs 3 times, no comparison to the crabs we get at home. Simply fresh and delicious. Bed was comfy, kitchen was equipped with everything you may need to cook dinner. Living room furniture was comfy as well as the sun room. Can’t wait to come back.
The cottage is very comfortable and decorated in cute ocean theme. The deck is amazing for relaxing and enjoying morning coffee and evening sunsets. The neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors are incredibly friendly helpful people.
Perfect getaway! Amazing view and location! Cottage is very cute, clean, and cozy and has everything to need. Host is great and very helpful! Highly recommend!
Cottage was exactly what we were looking for, very clean, on the water with amazing views, and quiet! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again!
Fun place, very eclectic and unique. If U want a quiet place 30 minutes from everything bring your own supplies and stay here. Enjoy the water and the views. The stars are great at night. Wonderful place all the supplies to cook, crab n fish.
The location is very remote from any businesses, you need to travel 30 minutes away for businesses, but perfect if you want peace and quiet for relaxing. Beautiful Bay side cottage, perfect for fishing and crabing. Beautiful sunsets.
Our three night stay at the Cottage was a peaceful quite
time on the bay. We enjoyed the interesting beach decorations in the Cottage and the wonderful view of the bay. Our stay was everything we hoped for.

Thank you Tina. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Looking forward to your next stay !!!!
This property is one of the best places to relax and take in the sunset views. The public beach is a quick 5 minute drive. Also a nice place to relax, soak in the sun, play in the water and collect sea glass.
The cottage was just as described, but we were not expecting the beauty and calm of the bay. The eagles, ospreys and fish jumping were highlights. We thought we would explore the area but could not leave the view
We had a great time, The fishing and crabbing was very good. The people that live next door was very very nice and helpful. and Debbie the owner was also very nice. We can't wait to go back, so happy we found this place. If you go there you will love it.

Thank you Michael. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay !! Looking forward to your next booking !!!
Wonderful spot, amazing soothing view. Exactly like pictures, very cozy. We loved gazing at the Sound doing nothing, looking the light changes and lunching on the deck. There were lots of scoters and so many gannets diving far away; it was peaceful and incredibly quiet (we were there late March-maybe it's not the case in summer :)The night sky is incredibly good for star gazing as there is little light pollution. Debbie is very helpful and accommodating and replied very fast when we had a storm warning. Deal Island is a bit removed from hustle and bustle and some of less pretty aspects of the Peninsula; we had brought all our food and it's a good place to just chill. We did some good birding walking on the impoundments of the Deal Island Wildlife management area, it is a very eerie marsh landscape. An excellent getaway place!
Such a beautiful little cottage in a very quiet and remote area. Loved the dock and crabbing was great! The neighbors were so nice, even had traps baited with crabs in them when we arrived. Debbie’s got everything you need and more. Definitely will be back again
We had the loveliest time at this peaceful bay side cottage celebrating our anniversay. The house was clean, area was quiet and pretty much away from everything. Relaxing on the deck and lounging on the private dock gave us some much needed R&R! We had a bald eagle hanging out with us for a few days as well!
Nice enough to just stay at the cottage the entire time. Soooo relaxing! However we did enjoy going on a cruise from Crisfield to historic, Smith Island, tour and lunch there and back again. Crisfield itself is full of history and great restaurants. We will go back again!
