Life is a lot sweeter in a cottage by the bay! Looking for a peaceful retreat on the water? Start your day by enjoying an outdoor breakfast overlooking the Chincoteague Bay. After breakfast you can walk out on the dock and jump on your boat for a nature ride to Assateague State park to watch the wild ponies or to Chincoteague Island for some lunch and ice cream. You could also send your time paddle boarding, sailing, fishing or crabbing. This totally adorable, one story cottage features a dock, rip rap on the shore line, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, gas fireplace and an outdoor shower. Grandfathered in, this is probably the closest home to the water available. It is literally 25ft from the edge of the bay! A new house can be built on the lot, just needs a foundation 3' high. Can utilize existing footprint. This was according to the county. ( recommend verifying ) New outdoor shed, new septic 5 years ago, new windows 5 years ago. Crabs fresh off the boat are often available right around the corner. They are also renovating the Marina and there is talk of a restaurant opening. Life is meant to be enjoyed and peace of mind can be found here! After all. .. .You Deserve It!
