Blocks to the Boardwalk!


Park right in front of this beautiful cottage enclosed with a white picket fence.
Everything is in walking distance from The Bee. The town stretches over seven blocks of waterfront, with a popular fishing pier and a long boardwalk. The boardwalk has a separate bike path and is lined with benches that are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view of Chesapeake Bay. There is a fee for using both the beach and the fishing pier for non- residents. But we have beach passes included for our guests plus beach chairs, umbrella and wagon. Paddleboards, kayaks, and bikes are available for rent at the beach.
The town’s gift, antique shops, and restaurants are walking distance from the beach, should you have had enough of the sun. From May to October there is a popular Saturday morning farmers market.
Our tiny house perfect for a romantic getaway for just two, a small family, or a group of friends.
The Bee by the Bay has a fenced yard for your family and pets to play safe and securely. Veteran owned business.

Perfect for my husband and I to stay

The stay was all we hoped for. Walkable to the boardwalk, beach with passes, coffee shop and restaurants. Front curb parking. And the outdoor sitting space was like being at home. Plenty of space, grill and fenced with beautiful plants. We didn't mind the smaller space as it has everything including a stocked kitchen. Really cute comfortably decorated. And full communication with Tammy.

Buggy

The bed was too small. The seating in the living area was so uncomfortable that it was almost impossible to sit and relax. Shower was hard to manage. The front door could not be opened fully because the door hit the ceiling fan. All outside decks were unclean and moldy. The next door residents were bee keepers and it was very hard to sit outside because we had to fight off bees the whole stay. When you look at the amenity page it doesnt say what size the bed was. It was a double I couldn't sleep with my spouse. Almost no storage for clothes. Sorry not a great week

Great Location

North Beach was just what we wanted. Quiet, walkable and friendly. The walk to the beach was very doable especially with the wagon to carry beach chairs and umbrella all provided by the host. A beach pass was also provided. The kitchen was well stocked and both the futon and bed mattress were comfortable. Lots of outdoor sitting space. We would definitely return.

Great location three blocks from the beach! Very dog friendly town with plenty of restaurants and a beautiful mile and a half boardwalk. The “Bee” is a beautiful, well stocked, cottage with plenty of room for 2-3 people and their dogs. A fenced in backyard is perfect!!

Off Season Paradise!

The Bee was exactly what we were looking for! My family was in Deale, MD, nearby (really easy trips up and back) but my one brother likes to stay with us. The Bee was perfect for 3! The convenience of home, and the locals are extremely accepting, and friendly. Comfy sleeping on futon, nice kitchen and bath, laundry (a must for me when I am away), and the deck in the PMs was awesome! Tammy G. really rocks it with this neat little hide-away!

Good things come in little packages.

A one bed, one bath 420 sqft beachy, updated, 1920s cottage with dog park (and miniature hydrant) in the fully-fenced back yard on a very quiet street. An easy walk; just over 4 blocks to the beach. We didn't go to the beach much because Hurricane Ian got to North Beach about a day after us and sat off shore blowing wind and rain for eight days. Regardless, it was a great time away and we felt very snug. The peaked ceilings make the spaces feel a lot bigger. We swung by Roland's in Chesapeake Beach for groceries and did a combo of eating out and picking up. The kitchen, while small, had more than enough pots, pans, plates, cups, bowls, flatware, utensils, coffee maker with filter papers, paper towels, trash bags, a toaster oven, microwave, small 4 burner electric stove with oven. There was even a little ground coffee left in the fridge when we got there. I had brought some from home, and left what was left in the fridge. There's a lovely, small patio out the back with a 4 person table and umbrella, but Ian kept us from enjoying that. It even got chilly enough for us to turn on the electric baseboard heat in each room. (it was October) We didn't need any AC. There are ceiling fans with lights in each room. In the Living/Dining area the four lights were too much, so I just partially unscrewed two of the lights. In the bed room, a wall switch operates the fan and light. The fan is two speed, changed by a pull chain. I turned the light off by it's pull chain and we ran the fan on low at night. It was very comfortable to have a little air moving. Plenty of covers for the bed. There are two flat screen TVs; one in the LR/DR and one in the BR. I signed in to Netflix with my log in and canceled that out before I left. They also had Amazon and several other streaming services. Wi-Fi worked very well on all of our devices. In the bathroom, there is plenty of light. I really liked the vertical hand rail for showering. There's a shelf on the left as you come into the bathroom. Watch out or it might reach out and say "Hello" to your head!! Once you know it's there, you'll be fine. The windows all have venetian blinds and are set high, so if you aren't dressed, you can still walk around inside. Neighbors (and their dogs) were very quiet. As "renters" we felt comfortable between them. We reached out to the owner by text to let her know when we got in and with a few questions. She was very responsive. Would we go back? Heck yes!

Small but very comfortable. Very clean and well equipped. In heart of North Beach. Owners super nice and available for questions- Tammy is super helpful. The only thing is the couch which, is comfortable is difficult to get off for a large old man- like me but the couch is very comfortable. If I go to North beach again, I would definitely try to get this cottage to stay in. Strongly recommend!
