Ruby's Sea Glass Cottage near Betterton Beach

Have fun with the whole family at this cozy home in the center of Betterton, MD. You can walk to the beach to relax, find some sea glass or watch the sunset! The kids will enjoy the large park within walking distance while the adults enjoy a game of tennis or pickleball. This house has an adorable kitchen, three tranquil bedrooms, one amazing bathroom and three beautiful outdoor spaces to unwind. Bedroom #1 has two twin beds, bedroom #2 has a queen bed and bedroom #3 has a king bed. ALL BEDROOMS ARE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. The living room which is on the first floor has a sleeper sofa . The bathroom is also on the FIRST FLOOR. It has tile that resembles sea glass and heated floors! Besides the great location our cottage is known for the PORCHES! Enter the house through a screened porch on the first floor that is nice to enjoy in the evening. There is a covered porch/balcony upstairs which is great to sit on and read a book (you enter this porch from the queen bedroom). There is also an open deck in the fenced in back yard that has a gas grill (you enter the deck from the kitchen). There's also two parking spaces available. Kids items upon request. We have some beach supplies and sporting good equipment in the boxes next to the deck. We hope you come to Ruby’s Sea Glass Cottage and want to come again & again! *Furniture and decor may need to be replaced and can change from listing photos. *One night stays may be allowed by request. It is more likely to have this accepted in the off season.

The property was charming and well-appointed with complimentary coffee and cocoa in the kitchen, wifi connected TVs in most rooms and comfortable bedding. The hosts were more than accommodating when my son got sick on our last night and they allowed a late check out for us to go straight to a hotel room rather than be without facilities for him. Highly recommend.

Ruby's Sea Glass Cottage was entirely delightful. There were homey touches like an Xmas tree with a MD blue crab topper and a handwritten welcome note. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfy, the kitchen is well stocked and also clean. The heated bathroom floor was helpful given the time of year. Communication with Tanya was easy and quick. The walk to the beach is short (my friends and I went even in January) and the town seems really sweet. Tanya was most gracious to give us a late check-out. We'll definitely return.

We loved the house, it was neat & clean. We loved use of the porches. If we stay in the Fall we will use the fire pit. It’s a close walk to the beach.

The house was very clean and nicely maintained. I greatly appreciated having all of the linens and other supplies readily available. It made traveling so much easier. It was also so nice that they had children’s toys, bumpers, etc. available for travel with a little one. We really enjoyed the house.

Sweet Cozy Cottage

The house is aptly named: it’s the perfect combo of function and aesthetics. We were in the area for an event at Washington College, and the house was conveniently located. We appreciated the binder supplied with recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Overall, it was an excellent stay.

Best VRBO experience I’ve ever had! The cottage was impeccably clean, furnishings were well-appointed and practical (but still beautiful), it was very kid-friendly (ages 3-8) and just perfect for the quiet family vacation we were hoping for. The hosts were super helpful; we were really grateful for the gift card to Marzella’s (pizza on the beach!) and all the excellent recommendations. We enjoyed the farmers market in Chestertown too.We will absolutely be back! Thank you for everything!

This house is so charming and cozy! It is very unique and we think the porches are something you’ll enjoy! The house is up the street from Betterton Beach!
