The Seahorse is a mysterious-looking creature that appears to float around coastal seas with a grace and level of perfection that pulls in observers and admirers from all quarters of society. The Mystic Seahorse Cottage, like its namesake, is a mystical and graceful retreat near the coast of the Chesapeake Bay.
Mystic Seahorse offers our guests a semi-private backyard with a large deck that has plenty of seating including a patio table with umbrella. You can relax in the hammock or swing, then roast some marshmallows over the fire. A picnic table offers more outdoor dining space. There’s a tree swing both the kids and adults will love. A full-size Weber charcoal grill is readily available for grilling, and we keep the charcoal and lighter fluid stocked for you.
The game room in the garage will make a great hangout on rainy days or for relaxing after a day at the beach. You can play a round of pool, challenge your friends at electronic darts or try your hand at the slot machine.
If you’re headed to the beach, you can use the wagon in the garage to easily take some beach chairs or a cooler with you.
Our cottage has two bedrooms, one queen and one full. Both beds have memory foam mattresses with down toppers. All linens (sheets, blankets and towels) are provided and washed after each guest to insure a clean fresh experience. There is one bathroom which has a shower/tub combo.
In the living room we have a wicker living room set offering a couch and loveseat. The entertainment center holds a 32" FireTV with sound bar. You have full access to our Netflix, Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ accounts, as well as many free show and movie apps. For more entertainment there is a Blu-Ray player, XBox One system with games, tons of movies and plenty of books to read. The library of movies and video games are in the cabinet under the TV. We have excellent WiFi so you can feel confident working remotely while here.
The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, Keurig, and double sink. You’ll find plenty of glassware, plates, bowls, silverware, pots, pans, etc. We make sure our guests have paper towels and napkins, as well as tea bags, coffee pods, cream and sugar. Just off the kitchen is the sunroom with a bar height table for four and chair with ottoman. Sliding glass doors take you to the back deck.
