Photos and Description of the Silver Beach vacation cottage rental
Cottage, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Silver Beach Cove is a sanctuary from the workaday world! Settle in to a relaxing stay in this lovely three bedroom, two and-a-half bath house (and outdoor shower!) All rooms have vaulted ceilings, and gorgeous views!

Nestled on a secluded cove, we are surrounded by woods and farmland. Bay breezes and nature embrace you on the wrap-around screen porch and back deck. Living areas center around a river rock gas fireplace. Enjoy your coffeecake while watching trees rustle and egrets fishing for their breakfast. Just outside are fresh herbs growing to supply your gourmet needs.

The master bedroom suite has a queen-sized bed and a soaking tub under garden windows. Other sleeping spaces include another queen bed in the second BR, and a double in the third BR. Extra sheets, pillows, and quilts are provided.

Extra-wide doorways and all-one-level floor plan accomodate wheelchair use gracefully. Your well-mannered pet is welcome, and a 'petdoor' allows easy access to the screen porch (ask about pet and baby arrangements). Crib, high chair, and stroller are available.

There are many activities and delightful restaurants within a short drive from Silver Beach Cove (we'll leave you a list of our favorites), AND crabbing, biking, and canoe/kayaking equipment provided on site. But we bet you'll just want to settle in-—it is one of the most beautiful, tranquil places on the East Coast!

About Karen Smith

As two middle-aged teachers, we built this cottage to be our future retirement heaven. Until that time, we rent to folks who turn out to be amazingly similar to us: outdoorsy, like reading more than watching TV, enjoy chatting, padding, and drinking homebrew beer, and LOVE to eat!

Karen Smith purchased this cottage in 2003
Why Karen Smith chose Silver Beach

When we cross the Cheapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, our stresses are left behind in the city, and years fall away. Eastern Shore has been protected by the CBBT toll, and a slower way of life is here on the Shore. We avoid chain restaurants and instead shop at the many quirky mom&pop places, vegetable stands, seafood-from-an-icechest on the back of a-truck style of life.

What makes this cottage unique

Snowy egrets winging down the cove, profound peace, solitude, a feeling of connection with a larger sense of wholeness; giant oak trees and the rippling gold of winter wheat across the front field. Shifting light creates translucent colors 'painted' across the cove at dawn & sunset. Even lightning storms, glimpsed across the Bay, make this an almost magically calming place.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 5, 2013
  • Stayed: Feb 2013
Charming cottage located on beautiful cove, the perfect place to quietly celebrate a milestone birthday. The owners welcomed us with a bottle of wine from a local winery & chocolates on our pillows. A very nice touch! The home itself had everything we & our dog needed to be comfortable, a vast array of amenities from a well stocked/outfitted kitchen to book cases with a wide array of videos & reading material. We loved the openness of the home & the fireplace in the great room was wonderful considering the chilly weekend. The back of the house has a wide porch, with a screened in area that overlooks the cove. We hoped to be able to take advantage of the kayak & canoe, however, the weather wasn't in our favor. We absolutely plan on coming back so we have that adventure to look forward on our next trip! Thanks so much for sharing your cottage!

Wonderful vacation!!

Loved the home with all of the extras. Much nicer than a cottage. Everything owner described was true. Owner does everything possible to make you feel welcomed and "at home". Porch and outdoor shower are truly wonderful features. The dock is a great place for extra sunning and dunking your toes in the water.

Relaxing family fun

Very relaxing comfortable home. We spent most of our time outside, even when it rained. Kids caught fish and crabs from dock. Took kayak and canoe out, made smores at the fire in the evening and enjoyed playing family games. We loved one so much, had to buy it on our return home. Our dog was in heaven - loved the water and room to run. We tried the shrimp stand that owner recommended and it was fantastic - wish we could get this at home. We took a day trip to see the ponies and went to a nearby beach. Owners were very helpful and easy to work with. This is a chance to slow down and enjoy just being together.

Best vacation rental ever...

We visited this beautiful house the second time this year on July 4th week and it was as great as a couple years ago. This time we brought our friends who heard a lot of stories about our previous visit and even after we told them everything they were surprised to find such a secluded quiet and friendly property. Beautiful views, relaxing and peaceful place! The house is gorgeous, you will find everything there. We will definitely come again!!! Thank you Karen and Don.

Lovely, relaxing week

We stayed in this lovely house with our three children aged 20, 19 and 15. Really enjoyed paddling around in their canoe and kayak. The kids caught crabs in the owner's pots right off the dock. We also brought our own floats/rafts and used them in the cove. Taking the ferry from Onancock to Tangier Island was a nice day trip. My husband and son also went on a 4 hour fishing charter in the Bay out of Cheriton with Miss Jennifer Charter Fishing. They caught enough croaker and trout to feed our family that night. We brought some of our bikes and also used their beach cruisers. It's easy to ride around the area and you get different views of the water.
Karen, the owner, is very helpful and welcoming. They keep a huge collection of movies in the house and the kitchen was well stocked. All paper products were supplied. If you like a more quiet destination, I recommend it!
