We enjoyed a lovely stay. The house and property had everything needed for a relaxing and fun beach experience. We especially enjoyed the deck and beach, the 2 mile loop for morning walks, and the friendly folks in the neighborhood. Our host was so nice and the location was fabulous. We were well pleased and enjoyed our week at the property.

Our host was very accommodating, kept great communication with us . Every room in the cottage was clean, family friendly. Great weather with beautiful sunsets from the back deck. The only problem was the flies and fruit flies but that didn’t stop us from having a relaxing good time.

2nd time we have stayed here. We love the house and area. This is the place to relax, disconnect from the internet and refuel the soul. For us we are big fishermen and being able to wake up grab a cup of coffee, walk out back with your rod and start fishing on the deck over looking the Chesapeake is awsome. We will definitely be back. Donna is a gracious host and just a text or call away if you need something.

Excellent place to stay right on the Chesapeake Bay.

Excellent place to stay. Porch and deck provide great view of the Chesapeake Bay. There are plenty of amenities so there is no need to bring dishes, pots, pans, towels etc. There is even a washer and dryer. Lots of water toys in the garage including fishing rods, kayaks, floats etc. Hosts were excellent, we saw them when we arrived they showed us around. Donna is always available by text or phone.

Perfect waterfront cottage

This is a charming, nautical-themed cottage. It was clean and indeed stocked as described (even more stocked than described!)! Donna was fantastic, very nice and always responded quickly to any questions (all of which were before our arrival.). The deck furniture was comfortable and we enjoyed hours lounging on both decks! I can’t wait to return

What a gorgeous ocean view!

First Donna(property manager) is so kind & polite person. She was greeting us when we arrived at this beautiful house. She showed to us around the house and explained. It was plenty of space for 2 adult & 2 kids. It has a beautiful ocean front view deck and private sandy beach.

Best time ever!!

We had a wonderful time at this property. It is a very quiet little town which we loved! Donna was the best host and was there on arrival to go over everything with us. She already had some food and drinks there for our first night/morning. She had all the extras and much more. We went out and explored the Eastern Shore daily. Many beautiful places to see. We didn’t want to come home and definitely would love to return someday! No complaints!

Wonderful Relaxing Waterfront Property!

We had such a wonderful and relaxing week here! We loved the private waterfront deck - from our morning coffee to evening sunsets (which were stunning!) we spent most of our time there. The cottage was inviting and clean with nice beach decor and a very well-equipped kitchen and the cottage had just about anything you could need. Donna was a very responsive and accommodating host who met us and showed us around. She’s great! The only negatives we would have - and this is only because we are a couple in our late 60s - is that we found the deep tub in the bathroom very difficult to use and the only shower is the outdoor shower. It’s ok but it would be nice to have a regular indoor shower. We were a little disappointed that the community beach is really small and the tides make it disappear quickly. We preferred going to the beach in Cape Charles. But the quiet location of this property, the host, and the waterfront deck more than make up for anything! We loved it and hope to go back again!

Gem at Chesapeake Bay

What a beautiful cottage/home located off the beaten path on the Eastern Shore. From arrival being greeted as if we were friends of the family, Donna and her son met us in person, showed us around (very helpful) and gave us helpful hints about the area. Great human connection! Well appointed kitchen, comfortable surroundings the BEST outdoor shower I am missing every day! We had a magical time, made friends with nieghbors and enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and daily swims. Highly recommend although not too loudly, the charm of the area is that not many people know about it. Thanks again Donna! We'll be back.

Fantastic beach getaway

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely beach house. There was easy access to swimming in the bay and lots of beach toys to enjoy. We were also able to fish from the dock. Close to a lovely local winery, beach hiking at Savage Neck state park and Kiptopeke as well as a Virginia Beach day trip about 90 minutes away. My family had a lovely sat and Donna is very welcoming g a a great communicator.

Quiet and Peaceful

Met the owner at the house very pleasant and informative. The house was just enough for the 3 of us and very quiet just what we were looking for. The weather was pleasant and enjoyed the fishing off the dock. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful Location

Convenient and quiet location. Beautiful sunsets and lighting storms on the bay. We enjoyed swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Took day trips to Cape Charles and went on there free public beach. We also went to Chincoteague on a boat ride on Daisy Cruises and saw dolphins and wild horses. Overall a relaxing vacation.

Cute little place on the water. Amazing sunset views. Central to everything on the Eastern Shore. We would highly recommend staying here. When the owner discovered our flight was pushed out and we would be arriving after 7pm. She had a fabulous chicken dinner with sides and a bottle of wine waiting for us. She went way above and beyond.

Silver Beach Heaven

Silver Beach is such a special place! We really enjoyed our stay. Breakfast on the porch overlooking the bay, swimming/boating all day, and the sunsets can't be beat! We greatly appreciated the easy communication and warm welcome. We can't wait to return next year. Thanks!
