BEACHFIELD AT WHITE HORSE BEACH. TRANQUIL AND SPACIOUS SETTING NEAR THE OCEAN.

Walking in the door my wife and I were thrilled to see a combination of quaint old world feel combined with neat features (e.g. Verizon FIOS with HBO, Starz etc, big screen TV, ipod/iphone hookups to the stereo and FAST Wifi).

50 yards to the beach access - an easy walk (even with a 4yo and a 2yo in tow) but far enough away from all the "razzle dazzle" to relax on their large outdoor patio with a great gas grill and a wood stove for a fire outdoors. There was even a large stack of firewood waiting for us.

Beds were comfy and each bedroom had a good quiet ceiling fan to help remain cool. The indoor shower was great - lots of hot water and good pressure. The outdoor shower was nicely appointed and easy to access - large enough to help rinse off the kids after a big day at the beach. The kids had a blast in the sprinkler in the large quiet back yard.

In prior years we've stayed in two other places right near there - one lower end and one higher end but this was the best mix of all and good value for the money. Neighborhood was quiet too. If I have enough time and money we want to go back again later this summer. If not we will DEFINITELY come back here in future.

The proprietor was wonderful throughout the entire process and called us on our first night to make sure everything was to our liking - it was . . . . and then some.

What a quiet and relaxing spot so close to a beautiful sandy beach!

We enjoyed our coffee in the morning as well as dinner in the evening on the patio overlooking the pond.
There was plenty of room for the whole family. Our favorite things were the outdoor shower which was recently built and is very spacious and private and the small bedroom which is so cozy- sure to be the kids favorite.
We'll be back!!

My husband and I, and our extended family have been vacationing at White Horse Beach for 8+years. We have stayed in many different cottages and I am happy to say that the Beachfield has been one of the best! We have 3 children (ages 8, 4 and 1) and they loved the yard for playing ball in the morning before making our way to beautiful White Horse Beach (2 minute walk) and you can't beat the patio with table and umbrella for enjoying a clambake dinner. It was fun having the fire pit for making smores and the brand new gas grill made lunches quick and easy. Not many cottages in the area have such a big yards and it really is a bonus.
The Beachfield is definitely a summer cottage. I wouldn't say its rustic, but its not luxury. But my idea of a summer vacation at the beach involves being in a cottage that feels like a cottage.
The bedrooms are ample size for a medium size family. Two rooms have comfortable double beds with nice comforters and pillows (they also provide clean linens) Third bedroom has two twins and we fit a baby crib in this room. The fourth bedroom is tiny with just a twin bed and nightstand (great for visitors). Downstairs on the sun porch is a pull out futon that is fine for 2 adults and the french doors close at night to make it seem like a 5th bedroom.
The kitchen is small but charming with bright yellow cabinets. It is stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils. It has a coffee maker, toaster oven and microwave. The fridge is around the corner in a small alcove, but another bonus lies there too..a brand new washer and dryer. We didn't use the washer much, but the dryer is a life saver for all those wet towels that never seem to dry!
The only bathroom upstairs is small but charming. I loved the old fashioned claw foot tub and the shower head was super strong.
When on vacation at the beach, we always prefer to shower outside- actually my kids look forward to the outside showers! This cottage does have an outside shower with hot water for rinsing off, but it is not enclosed, so the kids took off their bathing suits, we did not!
If you are looking for a true beach cottage vacation I would highly recommend renting the Beachfield. The owners are lovely and have worked hard updating the cottage-I forgot to mention the big TV in the living room with Verizon Fios! and make the cottage a great vacation get away.
Two more things- plenty of barrels for trash and parking for at least 3 cars (both important but not always provided elsewhere)
