This is the beach house for you

With an open floor plan this a perfect spot to vacation with family or friends. The warm, lived-in feeling this house provides comes from years of our family truly loving this magical place we call “the shore house”.

Our family has been making memories here for 35 years. We have opened our home to you to share the tranquility of Crystal Beach. Situated at the end of a quiet dead end road, this bay front cottage awaits you. Come escape the crowds and enjoy the private beach right out your front door. Calm shallow waters of the bay make it perfect for launching a kayak or paddle board and for young children to play. Bring your boat or rent one in town. There is a public launch available blocks of the house.

We love the remote feeling this cottage has though it is just a few miles from the charming historic town of Onancock. With its artisans feel, Onancock offers restaurants, galleries, antique shops, bakery, movie theater, boutiques, and quiet streets to stroll.

We invite you to come experience the magic of the shore.

Amazing getaway

The home, the beach, and the weather all agreed with us this weekend. My husbands only complaint was that we couldn’t have a fire by the beach.

Quiet and calming

The area is very quiet and secluded as it is about 15 minutes out of town with only a few neighbors. Nice views, especially sunsets over the bay. We enjoyed the wildlife activity as there were several herons, egrets, horseshoe crabs and even 2 bald eagles. A quaint little family cottage. On the cons side, the recliner sofa was uncomfortable as it fairly broken down and doesn't offer much support. The bedrooms do not have doors, just curtains across the opening so not very private if traveling with kids or other couples. And you have to go through the middle bedroom to access the main bathroom and other 2 bedrooms.

Wonderful getaway!

This cozy location was so delightful. It was secluded, quiet, felt like you were in the middle of no where with no one to bother you, even though a few houses are around it. Just very peaceful and relaxing! The owner was super flexible and accommodating! She also gave us info on how to rent kayaks that are delivered to the house! We didn't want to leave! Much like going to grandma's house (on the bay). :)

Tranquility

The house was great. Great location. Peaceful and tranquil to say the least. We were there for the full moon and it lit up the water perfectly. We relaxed by the water, watched the birds(saw two eagles) and just had a great time. Would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back again. The host was great. Answered any questions we had and made sure the house was perfect for us. We were sad to leave but we will be back

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Baltimore

Built in 1911 and moved from Accomack to Crystal Beach in 1946. Mary and Moe Moran bought this little cottage in 1979, as a 1 room cottage with a small attic and wrap around porches. Located just an hour and a half away from their Virginia Beach home, it was the perfect getaway for them and their three children. After being damaged during hurricane Floyd in 1999, the cottage was raised onto pilings and remodeled, using most of the original structure to insure the charm of the home. Over the years, the three Moran children have each had children of their own. These three generations have gathered each summer for 'Moran's Cousins Camp'. We come from Virginia Beach, Richmond and Ohio to fish, crab, kayak, swim, and reconnect as a family. Many happy memories have been made here. Come create your own memories.

Why they chose this property

The Eastern Shore is still an unrealized jewel for the masses. A few of us have figured out that it is a paradise without the crowds--a peaceful getaway.
