Waterfront Fenwick Beach House with Dock, 3 Decks, Linens, Bikes, Kayaks, SUPs

This beautiful Fenwick Island 4 bedroom house is directly on the water with private boat dock & just three blocks to the pristine beach! The quiet beach is perfect for families or couples with less crowds than nearby towns.

The Cottage on Glenn boasts newly updated appliances, new windows, newly painted interior, and is fully air conditioned with new HVAC units throughout all floors! The property includes so many thoughtful extras, including all your linen needs, it makes your packing for vacation a breeze!

Enjoy nightly sunsets on the bay with wine from your very own decks while sneaking out in early morning for sunrise on the ocean with coffee. Just a few steps from local cuisine, local bars, quaint shops, sweets, water park and miniature golf!

The Cottage on Glenn offers parking for 5 vehicles and boat dock! Plus a garage stocked with extras to lighten your packing and increase your fun such as 10 beach bikes, fishing poles for bay and surf, crab pots and hand lines, nets, multitude of beach chairs, wagon, beach carts, rolling coolers, umbrellas, strollers for the young folks, and assorted beach body boards, toys and sports games.

After a day on the beach, take full advantage of living on the water by enjoying the bay or local water ways by family kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards (SUP), fishing, crabbing or just float in your own backyard! Bring your own boat to tie up at your own personal dock or rent a boat close by for the week! Take nightly bike rides through town to the local Kohrs ice cream or Fisher's Carmel corn or morning rides to Surf Bagel and Duncan Donuts as well as many local restaurants and activities! Want to golf? The Cottage on Glen is close to dozens of highly rated golf courses!

Complete with an additional, large lighted outdoor shower to wash that sand and salt away and a third private half bath for quick access from outdoors play and indoor activity area! You can be having fun in the sun crabbing or fishing in your own backyard all day with little need to go inside! Ping pong, darts, and Hooks ring toss, are just inside in the recreation area complete with full fridge, microwave, and Kuerig coffee maker for your convenience! Just outside enjoy tetherball, horse shoes, corn hole or bocce ball!

The main living floor offers an open concept living, dining, and kitchen space. Brand new motion seating for everyone and a flat screen TV in the living room are a great options for rainy days (not to mention the fully stocked puzzle, novel, toy, and classic game collection found in the playroom). The dining room provides seating for 11 plus both a restaurant style high chair for toddlers and a reclining high chair for infants. There are table cloths and placemats so you are ready to eat in style with a beautiful view of the sun setting over the bay!

The kitchen opens easily to the back decks complete with comfy loveseat, table, bistro table, and grill. The screened in porch provides ample space and table to enjoy outdoor meals or a nightly crab feast in the evening. This is a beautiful space to just sit and relax with wine or coffee with friends and family in the comfy seating area. Off of the screened porch is a playroom stocked with toys, puzzles and games for young and old! Oh the tales of late night games on the table in the porch! We have supplied you with all those family favorites even you have forgotten about!

Interested in bringing your boat or renting one for the week close by? You could easily tie it up to our dock providing you and your family easy access to fun on the water!

The main floor also offers a full bathroom with shower, two bedrooms both with flatscreens - one with a queen-sized bed and the other with a twin daybed and lifting trundle to make a king-sized bed. The main floor sleeps four making The Cottage on Glenn the perfect option for a family of four, or multiple families looking for a little separation. Make sets of twins into kings with requested king linens!

The second floor living space offers two additional bedrooms and bath, not to mention the most stunning views in both East and West directions through brand new windows! You don't want to miss these views! The east facing bedroom offers a queen bed and rocker with a view of the water, as well as the roof tops stretching towards the ocean and beach beyond. The west facing bedroom provides four twin beds (not bunks) each with own reading lights and nightstands and a view of the bay, shore beyond and gorgeous sunsets. Request king linens to create king beds from twin sets. This brings the total sleeping capacity to 10 beds plus two porta cribs and a juvenile bed. The cottage is a great choice for multigenerational get aways!
