Charming Cottage - Ultimate Relaxation Destination

I enjoyed Sea Glass Cottage as a vacation rental SO much.... I bought it! You can still enjoy all it's charms and convenient location too.
Onancock is central to all the exciting sights, sounds, and recreation on the Eastern Shore between the historic and scenic Chesapeake Bay and the Ocean. Beaches, boating, kayaking, biking, hiking, wildlife and some of the nations best birdwatching, golf and much much more all at your fingertips! Onancock itself is a delightful small village of interesting and eclectic attractions - excellent restaurants and watering holes, first rate galleries, a wonderful farmers market on Saturdays, old fashioned movie theater with first run movies, live performance venues and so much more. There's a passenger ferry to Tangier at the town wharf for exciting adventures on the bay. Rent bikes and kayaks too. A short trip north takes you to the outstanding beaches and wild pony adventures to be had at Chincoteague and Assateague islands among other nearby destinations. You're going to love it.

Seaglass Cottage Getaway

This cottage was perfectly appointed and was located less than a 10 minute walk into downtown Onancock. The cottage was spacious inside and the property had a nice fire pit area by a little creek. Doris was easily accessible and we would rent here again.

We Want to Live Here!

My cousin and I stayed in the cottage for a girls' weekend. We adore it! We wish we could live here forever! It is clean and comfortable and better than the photos represent. We especially love the layout and charming decor. It is very close to the quaint little town. We enjoyed lunch on the deck at Mallard's. We had lots of fun at The Blarney Stone for karaoke. We highly recommend this cottage!

Amazing House, Great Location

My friend were doing a girl's trip and needed a place near the Tangier Island ferry. We got so much more! This house is in a great location...3 minutes from the ferry and restaurants and Walmart! All of which we needed! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Doris was amazing to work with as well! Thank you, Doris!

Great house and friendly neighbors!

Sea Glass is a wonderful place to stay in Onancock. Very close to downtown and all the fun with art galleries, great restaurants, and bars. My wife and I highly recommend Sea Glass. Best WI-FI and fully stocked kitchen. Very clean and well maintained home. We are already planning our next visit!

Second time as good as the first

We stayed here for a week this time, after a 3 night visit a few months back. Lovely cottage in a very cute town that is centrally located for daytrips all over the Eastern Shore of VA. Beautifully decorated cottage, very easy logistics, and good communication from the property owner, Julie. We look forward to future visits.

We were comfortable and cozy. The cottage is near town, easy walking distance. My friend and I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and reading, visiting with the neighbors and enjoying the quiet. It was lovely.

Beautiful cottage

This lovely little house made for a fun and memorable stay for our family. The size and layout were just right size for 2 adults, 2 kids, and the coastal chic decor showed lots of care and attention to detail by the owners. Check-in was easy, and Julie, the owner, was communicative and helpful throughout. Onancock is an adorable little town, and an ideal base for exploring the Eastern Shore of Virginia. After an initial 3 night stay, we have decided to return for a week later in the summer.

✨Loveliest Cottage✨

We loved our stay! The cottage was incredibly charming, everything was beautiful and very comfortable. The house felt much bigger than we though it would be based on the pictures.. we wished we could stay so much longer! It was the perfect place for hanging out, making breakfast, and sipping coffee in the morning. It is such a beautiful space, so lovely and relaxing. We really appreciated the A/C after spending time by the water on a hot summer day ; ) We had a question for Doris and she responded quickly with kindness. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again.

Sea Glass Cottage, Surprise Little Haven

Charming, well appointed for needs. Very inviting inside. Everything neat & clean without being over done. Would definitely stay here again. Only down side is no really fitting backyard area fixed to sit & enjoy, would not keep me from coming back but needs a small area. Would recommend they put a vertical hand bar in back of tub ror easier in and out near ceramic plaque.

A gem in a little town

My husband and I chose this destination as a little getaway. The space was a perfect way to relax and leave everyday cares behind. While Onancock is a little town, it it chock full of different things to do. There are many galleries to explore. There are diverse dining opportunities. If you prefer to explore the surrounding area, there are options within a half hour drive in any direction. The Sea Glass Cottage is a very clean and quiet space. It is well stocked with all of the amenities of a hotel and more. There is a fully stocked(equipment, utensils, spices, etc.) kitchen as well as a fire pit and BBQ grill. There are magazines, board games and a Roku TV if you just want to relax. The property owner, Doris, is very attentive and will communicate what her expectations are as well as what she offers to fulfill your expectations. My husband and I are already working on another trip to fit in those things we could not in this stay.

Sea Glass Cottage Oasis

The cottage was very quaint inside. It was well stocked and clean. Definitely bigger than I thought it would be with plenty of room for the four of us. I would absolutely book this property again. There is a bit of a feral cat issue in the neighborhood. One cat in particular (my daughter named him/her Blink because it was missing an eye) was frequently in the driveway or near the trash can. It would hiss at you when you tried to take out the trash. This was not an issue for us but something to be aware of if booking.

Lovely!

This was my third stay at Sea Glass Cottage, and it was just as nice as I remembered. Everything we needed was there -- well stocked kitchen, beach supplies, lots of fresh towels, books, games, and good services on the TV. The cottage is an easy walk to galleries and restaurants in "downtown" Onancock, and there is information at the cottage about other attractions and activities available on the Eastern Shore. Mallard's provided a delightful dockside dining experience, complete with beautiful sunset and live acoustic music. Second Friday Art Crawl gave us an opportunity to visit several of the galleries exhibiting local art and meet the artists. Didn't use the backyard as much as we hoped to -- it's an expansive space complete with picnic table, grill, and firepit, but it was too hot while we were there to spend much time outside! The cottage is comfortably furnished with a lot of original artwork, and the host is readily available to answer questions. All in all, a perfectly lovely week!
