For a vacation experience to remember . . .

Bay View Waterfront Bed and Breakfast is on a hill overlooking Occohannock Creek with an expansive view to the Chesapeake Bay and a dock to deep water.

Guests can enjoy a superb view, reading, fishing, crabbing, biking, swimming in the pool or the creek, a small beach, croquet, basketball, volleyball, a full country breakfast, 140 acres of woods, farmland, and a creek shore to hike and explore and an large gracious home.

The old part of the house is one room deep, which takes advantage of summer breezes and wonderful views of Occohannock Creek, Chesapeake Bay, and farmland from every room.

Built in the 'big house, little house' style unique to the Eastern Shore the three original sections date from about 1800, and feature heart pine floors, birds-eye-maple balusters, high ceilings and four working fireplaces. Additions in 1940, 1961, and 1972 continued the Eastern Shore style architecture until the house stretches over onehundred feet and has five roof levels.

Come visit and enjoy the magnificent views from our dock from sunrise to sunset.
