Bay View Cottage is located in the quiet little bayside village of Smith Beach, Virginia. It is situated on a beautiful lot with 160 feet of beach frontage on the Chesapeake Bay. You'll see natural unspoiled beauty and breathtaking sunsets from your own back yard.
At Bay View Cottage you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the view; or take advantage of the crabbing, clamming, swimming, boating, and fishing that are right at your back door.
If you plan to bring your boat, you'll find a boat ramp within 1/4 of a mile of the cottage.
Come and enjoy a memorable vacation in our "Change of Pace Place" on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
