About this property

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.

The tiny house has everything you need for a great vacation. The property owner works hard to make sure her guests are comfortable. She responds quickly to messages and is great to work with. I also loved that I was able to have my dog with me!

Really felt at house. So easy to "buzzzzz" around the towns (Herrington Harbor, North Beach, Chesapeake Beach). Great launch pad. Great amenities, plenty of great cookware, great patio, yard to spread out.

This rental welcomed us with our dog. The place was clean and had a full kitchen with a washer and dryer. I appreciated the abundance of clean towels provided and a nice clean bed. It's also nice to have a full size toilet and shower. Yard was just the right size for our 38 pound dog. We were able to walk to the beach and all around the area. This place would be small for a couple with kids but for the two of us and our dog it was the right size. Tammy is very responsive when contacting her through Vrbo messaging and texting.

We were in North Beach for 2 nights for a wedding. Communicating with Tammy was easy and questions were answered right away. The cottage was “Bee” themed and adorable! Everything that was shown/listed in the description was accurate. The location is fabulous minutes from beach. Also, family was all staying at Rod-N-Reel hotel up the street and that was convenient as well! Great little cottage! Would definitely stay again and recommend too!
