Eastern shore beachfront cottage with stunning sunset views!

Come relax on Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore in our updated 3 bedroom cottage. Located in the quiet countryside you'll have easy access to Chestertown, Rock Hall and Betterton areas. Each bedroom has its own private en suite bath making it perfect for families, friends groups, or couples traveling together,

The master bedroom on the second floor is a serene retreat and has a queen bed and vintage wicker reading chair and ottoman. The french doors open onto a large balcony overlooking the cove with a cedar double bench, perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee or tea. This suite has two full sized dressers and two closets for your use. The en suite master bathroom features heated tile floors, a claw foot tub lit by antique sconces as well as a separate tiled shower.

The second bedroom is on the main floor and has a queen bed, and full sized dresser. The attached bathroom has a tiled shower, antique armoire, and guest laundry. This bathroom also cleverly functions as the home's powder room with entry through a hidden door/bookcase in the adjacent living room!

The third bedroom, cozy under the eaves of the second floor has beautiful water views and features a daybed and a brass twin bed. The master and third bedrooms are separated by a lovely library nook with water views. It has a large desk, tall bookcase and a comfortable chaise lounge. This is a great spot to catch up on work, do a puzzle (we have many to choose from!) or relax with book. This space also provides great privacy between the two upstairs bedrooms.

Downstairs there is a living room, den, and kitchen, all of which face the beautiful cove. One of our very favorite things about our home is that you are almost always looking at the beautiful cove.. Seeing the sunlight on the water and the ever changing sky above it is truly relaxing.

The kitchen is well stocked for enjoying a traditional crab feast, whether you cook it all up yourself or bring it in (the crab cakes at Clark's Seafood cannot be beat). You'll find all of your basic spices (Old Bay!) and oils and plenty of pots and pans. Enjoy your indoor meals at our cozy built in nook in the kitchen, at the island bar, or at the dining table off the living room. If you prefer to eat outside, we also have the latest infrared electric barbecue grill on the deck just outside the back kitchen door so it's easy to move from the kitchen to grill to nearby picnic table.

The den features a wall to wall built-in cabinet original to the cottage. Here you will find plenty of games and puzzles; fun things to do on a rainy day! There is also a flat screen Smart TV here.

Off the living room there is a large screened in porch facing the water that has two beautiful vintage wicker chaise lounges and a loveseat. From here you can watch the sunset and spot the herons and eagles that fish daily in the cove. There is also a gate-leg table on the porch that provides plenty of space to set out cocktails and snacks (don't miss the wonderful selection at Chester River Wine and Cheese Company-they are always our first stop when we come home).

When you are ready to get out on the water we have 4 kayaks (3 singles and 1 double) for your use. Launch the kayaks right from our private beach (our beach is also a great spot for fishing!). and enjoy exploring the many different coves along the creek as you head out to the Bay. If you would like to bring your own jet ski or small boat we have plenty of parking at the cottage and there is a public boat launch just around the corner from us.

For exploring on land we have 2 bikes for your use. Pedal around our neighborhood, past fields and farms or head for the Old Coast Guard Station. Just 2 miles away, it's a great place to take a picnic, catch some rays and watch the boats go by. Then come home to our quiet cove and nap in the hammock beneath the shady oak trees. At the end of the day it's fun to gather around the fire pit and recount the day's adventures or toast some s'mores!

David and I love spending time at our cottage on the shore and we hope you will feel as much joy as we do while you are here. We look forward to welcoming you to Cove Cottage!
