It’s an adorable little cottage with great views and the most wonderful porch swing. The host could not have been any nicer or more accommodating. She helped me look for my runaway pup and even brought us cream puffs one day.

This property is a little gem. It has everything you need and it’s oh, so comfortable and cute. The screened porch is a highlight and a perfect viewing spot for the sunsets. A flight of steps down to a small beach and swimming area make the hot days of July more refreshing. The area has lots of birds and their songs fill the air. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of town but close enough to get there easily.

Joan’s cottage was so charming and had everything we needed! We were just steps from the beach which was the kids’ main attraction! Joan was very responsive and called to answer a question I had. The entire community is so quaint and everyone was so friendly! We’ll be back!

I’m sorry you were disappointed in the cottage. There were laundry facilities for your use in the cottage next door to you. I always mention that to guests when we chat, but you and I didn’t have a chance for to talk.

Another Great Stay

This is a great place to vacation with kids. We were at the beach every day. We paddled, rode our bikes, took long walks, and swam-- all while feeling very safe. The cottage is comfortable and the AC is strong. Joan has provided everything you need to prepare meals while staying at Silver Beach. This was our 2nd time staying there, we were so happy to return.

Silver Beach

I lived on the shore for three summers when I was in college so I found this cottage a pleasant reminder of those long gone days. Plus a great introduction for my grandson to a quiet relaxing interlude after a stress filled school year.

The Perfect Getaway

Our stay at this cozy little cottage was just wonderful. It was clean, welcoming, tastefully decorated and well equipped for all our basic needs. It’s proximity to the small private beach allowed me to be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves, and was the perfect swimming spot for our Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Joan was a wonderful host, very warm and hospitable, going the extra mile to assure we were comfortable. We can’t wait to get back again!

Relaxing Getaway

We wanted a quiet, relaxing getaway during the off season and we got it in Shore's Fun. We were able to spend our days exploring state parks, nature preserves, and wildlife refuges and our afternoons and evenings relaxing on the screened in porch while listening to the waves. The sunsets were amazing. The owners are very communicative and checked in with us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. Our dog was welcome and even he seemed to have a relaxing time!

Great cottage for some R & R and waterside fun

Our family enjoyed the quaint cottage, situated at Silver Beach and close to the water's edge. The property owners were very welcoming and friendly. The small touches in the cottage such as bottled water, ice and fresh daffodils were appreciated. The front porch was a nice place for relaxing and we enjoyed kayaking and canoeing in the nearby creek/bay as well as biking around the Silver Beach community. The neighbors were friendly too!

lovely cottage near a beautiful little beach front

My wife and I and our very shy dog spent three nights at this lovely cottage. If you want to relax and unplug this is the place for you. The cottage and the surroundings are just beautiful. It's a one-minute walk to a beautiful little beach front. The cottage has everything you need. The Bryans has done a fantastic job in decorating and keeping up this place in tip top shape and its clean. We absolutely recommend it for your vacation stay, you will love it.

Super relaxing cottage..

Located in a small community with water views and a small private beach across the street. This cottage was comfortable and tastefully decorated. Two comfortable bedrooms, nice size well-stocked kitchen with dining area and ample/ comfortable seating in the living room. The screened-in porch was a wonderful place to sit and relax. My family and I appreciate the hospitality extended to us by Joan and George. Thanks!

What a beautiful cottage.

Joan and George’s cottage at Silver Beach is wonderful. What a nice place to disconnect and unwind. The area is nice to explore with antique shops and great restaurants nearby. Cook at the cottage or eat out. Do not miss the spectacular sunsets. Will be back again soon. Thanks. Mike and Sue.

peaceful, fun, and good crabbing.

We stayed a few week nights in June. It was a perfect beach cottage - about a 30 second walk to the beach, and open and breezy, with water views on the porch and in the kitchen. We came with 3 girls - they loved the beach, catching crabs, and the hummingbirds. Cabin was very well stocked in the kitchen, and with some beach gear. If you're looking for a beach cottage getaway - this is it. Joan is a great host - so nice, and attentive. Water was clear and warm.

Great long weekend at Silver Beach

The cottage is very cute and comfortable and has nice views of the bay. Joan and George and all the neighbors were lovely. Our dog had a great time playing on the little beach that was a few seconds walk from the cottage door. The area around Silver Beach is remote (no cell service, a little bit of a drive to the grocery store) but the town of Cape Charles is a short drive away if you are looking for shops, restaurants, etc. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway then this is the place for you.

Quaint cottage

Joan is amazing and always accommodating. Unfortunately I should’ve done my homework regarding amenities. Totally my fault for not reading that there is no TV or dishwasher or laundry facilities and I didn’t realize it was far from an event I had planned to attend but super quiet beautiful sunsets everyone super friendly in the neighborhood and very, very peaceful. Great place just too rustic for me and far from restaurants, grocery stores etc

Simply Adorable, Highly Recommended!

October 2023 - My husband and I had one of the BEST vacations at this cottage in Virginia. The cottage is the cutest shore house and 50 steps from the front door to the water front. My husband was able to kayak the bay several times during our stay there. I was able to paint, read and relax on the front porch with our pet schnauzer. The location is about 25 minutes from Cape Charles, a lovely little town with a beautiful white sand beach and great ice cream! The cottage is also close to the town of Exmore where there is a Walmart and Food Lion. The price point is perfect and well worth the stay. Joan was an amazing host and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Such a treasure we found, and hope to return soon.

Delightful Summer Cottage!

We had the best week at Shore’s Fun. It was a wonderful place to stay and have a true summer experience. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Loved the screened door and the screened in porch. The porch had a great view and was a nice place to read a book. The little beach was a short walk and very accessible. You can even hear the waves when you’re falling asleep at night. Dolphins swam past on our last morning. The neighborhood was very friendly and we were sad to leave. It’s a special place. It was also fairly easy to get around to other places in the area. Our host was fabulous and we just loved her. Communication was easy and check-in was a breeze. Thank you for having us!

Adorable cottage

We had a terrific stay. Joan was a great host and checked in several times, with great communication throughout the booking, lead-up, and during the stay as well. Everything was exactly as advertised and met expectations completely. We were off-season, which we like, and while we had business in the area we enjoyed our limited time in the cottage and had the Silver Beach area nearly to ourselves. It's a fun, campy sort of throwback community that we enjoyed in its quietness. (Probably not as quiet during the season.) New heat pumps worked well for us for air conditioning the first day, in the 70s, and then for the rest of the stay, when the temperature dropped into the 30s or even high 20s at night several times. Joan brought us an extra blanket the first day it turned cold, which was appreciated. Cottage has everything we needed and was comfortable for two of us and two goldens. Thank you!

Isolated And Relaxing

Our little family has been extra cautious during COVID, so this was our first trip away from home in a long time. And wow did Silver Beach and Joan make it feel like a relaxing home away from home! The neighborhood was small and remote, so don't expect to pop out to the store all the time, but really, with the small tidal beach and cozy cabin that had perfect views of the sunrise and sunset and a wonderful porch swing to relax in, who needed stores? We spent every day out on the bay, kayaking with a rental dropped off by Southeast Expeditions, swimming in the gentle waves, and making sand mud-pies with our youngest. The kitchen was small, but we made some great meals in it all the same, and at night we snuggled in, cool despite the heat due to the excellent window A/Cs. Wish we could have stayed longer, but even our short trip was balm for the soul. Joan was very helpful, checking in regularly and making sure we had everything we could need. The neighbors were friendly and respectful of our desires to keep the kids socially distanced. Wonderful experience!
