About this property

BEACH WITHOUT THE BUSTLE

This condo is situated in the quiet town of Betterton and located just steps away from the largest and most beautiful beach on the Northern Chesapeake Bay. The condo has a large deck accessible from two nine foot sliding glass doors from both the family room and master bedroom. Enjoy true indoor/outdoor living with meals or drinks on the deck while watching the spectacular sunset over the water.

This nicely furnished and well appointed 2 bedroom 2 full bathroom condo has everything your dream vacation needs minus the hustle and bustle. Relax on the spacious deck and bbq while enjoying the water view looking North towards Turkey Point and Havre DeGrace. Enjoy a family day on the beach and feel free to use our beach chairs, rafts, and sand toys. Betterton is located just far enough North in the Bay to have a salinity low enough to keep the Jellyfish away. The beach has a lifeguard during the summer months.

Betterton is a quaint little town on the Chesapeake Bay located at the mouth of the Sassafrass River. It is the perfect destination for your family getaway where you can relax in tranquility far away from the crowds and traffic. Stroll down to the beach to catch the sunset or fish from the pier for the easy to catch giant blue cats and the occasional striper. You can even try crabbing from the dock (July 15th to November 1st). If you have a boat you may dock on the town pier for up to 72 hours or use the town boat launch. Boat trailers may be stored at Turners Creek Launch about 5 miles away. You will need a 3 day permit ($30) or a yearly permit that may be purchased at "Mollys" just up the road or ahead of time with a mail in form. https://www.kentcounty.com/recreation/paddling/launch-ramps

Families are welcome! We have a portable crib, booster seat and kiddie dishes. In town there are two parks each with a playground within walking distance for the kids. The park at the top of the hill has tennis courts, basketball courts and a baseball field with public restrooms. There is an electric car charging station 2 blocks away.

Highly rated Marzellas, the local pizza shop delivers directly to the beach and has excellent pizza, cheese steaks, and subs with great tasting rolls and chopped steak imported all the way from "Philly"!

Historic Chestertown is only 20 minutes away through beautiful farm country. Enjoy shopping, walk along the Chester River boardwalk, coffee in the town square, or dine at one of its fine restaurants. On weekends there are free concerts and on Saturday morning there is a "not to be missed" farmers market.

Rock Hall is 30 minutes away and has a quaint main street with art vendors in the summertime, an ice cream shop, restaurants on the water and Crab Houses with a view. There are also fishing charters if you are looking to catch the big one.

Visit Hopkins Game Farm for a private hunt or for sporting clays. Lockbriar Farms has homemade ice cream, farm animals and old tractors for the kids to play on and a pumpkin patch in the fall. Crow Winery is just 15 minutes down the road. Visit the Sassafras Park for hiking and river views (5 miles away).

Historic Chesapeake City with shopping and restaurants is 30 minutes away with a nice drive crossing the drawbridge on the Sassafras river and the Bohemia River.

KITCHEN The kitchen is well-stocked with all of the items you will need to prepare your meals. There is a 12 cup coffee maker as well as a Keurig if you prefer. Sharp knives, non stick pans, big pasta pot and crab pot and electric tea kettle round out the kitchen. There is an electric grill on the deck (gas grills are not permitted). Plan to stock up on groceries and supplies before getting to town, the nearest full service groceries are 20 minutes away. You can find gas, and essentials at Molly's just 6 miles up the road.

MAIN BR The MBR has an ensuite bathroom and a sliding glass door to the deck with a water view. There is a queen bed and a roll-top desk if working remotely is part of the plan. The TV is 47 inches and has a ROKU adapter as well as a 6ft HDMI cord.

2ND BR The second bedroom has a queen bed and a bunk bed.. Access to the full bathroom with a tub/shower is located in the hallway. There is a folding double mattress that may be used for extra sleeping space if needed. Sheets and mattress are stored in the closet alongside the portable crib. The TV is a ROKU.

FAMILY ROOM The family room overlooks the 9ft slider and the water view. It has a couch and a love seat with a 50" ROKU TV that will allow you to access your streaming services. It is attached to a 6ft HDMI cord. So if you can watch it on your laptop you can watch it on the big screen. Of course there is high speed internet with excellent connectivity in the whole condo including the deck. There are puzzles and games for family game nights.

DECK The spacious deck has views of the water. A table with seating for the family, two Adirondack chairs, two breakfast chairs and an electric grill.

BASEMENT- The basement has a separate entrance located right by the front door. It has a full size washer and dryer, storage for all of the beach toys including chairs, inflatable rafts, and a kayak with life jackets. It has space to store your bikes for the beautiful country lanes which are available for exploring.

The condo is everything we expected, clean, quiet, spacious, and comfortable. The beach and fishing pier are nice as well. The best part is the owner, Steven is prompt, accommodating, and kind. My son and I had a great time over the Labor Day weekend, we would recommend this condo wholeheartedly.

Beautiful property and location!
We stayed at Steve & Jeanie’s condo for part of the week in July and it was excellent. The communication from them was great and everything in the condo was spelled out and labeled. They provided cutlery, plates, cookware, cleaning supplies, basic toiletries, etc. It was a very well appointed property! The town of Betterton consists mainly of the beachfront and the condo was very close by. We used some of the many beach toys they provided and everyone had a great time at the beach. The pool is also easy to get to but is a little bit of a walk. We ordered pizza and steaks from the pizza place and all was very good. Overall a great property in a very quiet beach town! Great hosts and a great experience!

About the host

Hosted by Steven Matsen

Host profile image
I am a recently retired school teacher and Jeannie works in Information Technology. We have two daughters, one is planning to go to Veterinary School and the other just finished her freshman year of electrical engineering at the University of Maryland. All of us enjoy most things outdoors. Walking/running with the dogs, cycling on the road and the trails, skiing, gardening, boating and relaxing on the beach in Betterton.

Why they chose this property

Our older daughter went to Washington College in nearby Chestertown, Maryland. During her tenure there we took a day trip to Betterton. We had a great time and really enjoyed the little town and beautiful beach.
A few years ago we purchased a boat and have spent many wonderful days on the vast and beautiful waterways of the Chesapeake Bay. Last year we started searching high and low for the right vacation home on the bay. While searching online, a condo in Betterton popped up and we remembered our visit to the beach with our daughter. We looked at the pictures and immediately fell in love with the place, so we bought it and made it our own. We hope you will enjoy Betterton Beach and the condo as much as we do!
