Cozy 1st Level Beach House - Walk Everywhere

Summary:
Tucked away in the heart of North Beach, this original 1940s colonial-style home is a delightful blend of modern comfort and rustic-farmhouse warmth. Sunlight seems to find every corner, from the comfortable living room (with ample seating and a TV) into the dining room and country kitchen. Step outside and take summer meals on the spacious, wraparound deck, and linger afterwards in Adirondack chairs around the firepit in the yard.

Your stay is located on the first floor of this duplex-style home, offering a quaint, Chesapeake Bay beach experience.

The Space:
Upon entry, you will immediately fall in love with the home's warm wood flooring and charming beach decor. Any chefs in your group can cook up something delicious in our country-style designed kitchen.

Our living room offers an multiple seating options for families and friends who love to congregate together; especially over a good board game or movie. This is also where guests will find the wall-mounted flat screen television which offers Xfinity cable service with hundreds of local and national network options, a DVD/ Blu-Ray player (with a small library of movies), and Roku Streaming Entertainment Service. We also provide two sofa chairs that pull out to offer additional sleeping options for larger group reservations.

All of our bedrooms, bathroom, and washer/dryer area all available on the main floor. Guests will find our bathroom fully stocked with towels and an assortment of bath amenities available for use.

For sleeping arrangements, guests have access to our a primary bedroom with a King-sized bed as well as a jack-and-jill style bedroom with Queen Bed and a beautiful wooden bunk bed (that can accommodate two adults or children utilizing both the bottom and top bunks). There is also an additional sleeper sofa in the living room for guests who need to host a larger group.

Outside, you will have shared access to a spacious deck, outdoor seating and charcoal grill.

Guest Access:
Guests are provided with private access and use of the entire 1st floor, a fully furnished home that we actively update and maintain on an ongoing basis.

As a 2-unit vacation rental house, there are a small number of shared amenities available to all guests on a first come, first serve basis. We always encourage guests to coordinate with each other if they have a desire to use any of the shared features during a specific day or timeframe. We've yet to have a conflict that wasn't easily reconciled to the benefit of both guests.

The first of these shared accommodations is the off-street driveway parking. The gravel driveway sits on the right side of the house (when facing the house from the street), and is wide enough for a single vehicle, however does provide plenty of length for 2 larger vehicles to park nose to tail without obstructing the street or sidewalk. With that in mind, we ask any guests whose party arrives in 2+ vehicles that choose to park in the driveway to make an effort to take full advantage of the 2 driveway spaces with 2 vehicles. While on-street parking is rarely an issue, it can become crowded at times for other guests and our neighbors without driveways, and every little bit counts.

The house features a wrap-around deck and an outdoor table, chair, and umbrella set for shared use. We provide a propoane/charcoal grill as well. The grill is not large enough for more than one grill-master at a time, so we encourage guests to coordinate with each other for any planned use of these amenities.

For all of the TVs in the home, you can use your own streaming accounts to enjoy your favorite shows and movies. The vacation rental does not include access to any paid streaming services unless Guests use their account credentials. However, we do provide guests with a basic cable package, which provides a limited number of standard definition (SD) and High Definition (HD) cable television options.

The Neighborhood:
Nearby, you'll be just minutes from beaches, bakeries, and breweries. North Beach offers a great mix of antique stores, gardens, gift stores, ice cream shops, and of course, the North Beach Boardwalk. While access to the boardwalk is open to the general public, the beach itself requires a pass between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Two residential passes (good for up to eight guests) are provided in the home. The cost to access the beach without a pass is $25 per person/per day. Additionally, a variety of beach gear is provided to guests including towels, chairs, a wagon, umbrella, and cooler - all are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional beach gear is available for rent at the beach should you need anything else for your visit.

Many fellow residents living in the area of North Beach regularly use our street during their daily pilgrimage to the water. This has the benefit of providing residents living on our little section of 3rd Street with a disproportionately high level of human diversity than one would normally expect for an area of this small size. This anomaly is both welcomed with open arms and appreciated by our neighbors.

The location puts Guests less than a mile walk to the North Beach boardwalk, pier, public beach, coffee shops, antique shops, US Post Office, and ice cream shops.

There is always something going on in North Beach, regardless of time of the year. We'll do our best to keep you posted about what is planned during your stay, and make sure you are provided with the resources to find more information.

Getting Around:
The home's proximity to the Chesapeake Bay means the boardwalk, beaches, and majority of shops & restaurants in North Beach are just a short 10 minute walk away.

The public transportation options are limited, but the county does operate a regularly scheduled bus route during weekdays, as well as limited service on weekends.

Interaction with Guests:
We have a property manager who lives in/near Annapolis. He is approximately 30-45 min drive away from you and can assist in an emergency situation.
