The house is aptly named: it’s the perfect combo of function and aesthetics. We were in the area for an event at Washington College, and the house was conveniently located. We appreciated the binder supplied with recommendations for local activities and restaurants. Overall, it was an excellent stay.
We were looking for a get away with our two grandchildren who were out of school for winter break. The cottage was perfect and so cute. Our granddaughter loved everything and said a sad goodbye to her room, the kitchen, the porch and the house. They enjoyed the games provided. Our grandson tried fishing on the pier but it was just too cold and windy. He asked to come back in the summer. The hot cocoa provided was just what we needed to warm up. We will be back.
We visited our son at a family weekend at Washington College. We wanted to be in a rental for more room and to be able to relax. Ruby's was immaculate, comfortable and they thought of everythiperfect!
We had a lovely weekend stay at Ruby’s sea glass cottage. It is newly renovated, completely outfitted with every amenity you could want or need, and walking distance to the beach and park. We enjoyed playing pickleball on the park’s courts and riding bicycles, grilling out and eating on the back porch, and sleeping in the comfortable beds! We were even entertained on the rainy morning as we played games and worked puzzles that the owner has on hand. A fantastic home that we heartily recommend!
This was such a wonderful stay! My friends and I stayed here for a fishing trip we had scheduled. It worked out perfectly, and we were able to go to the beach one day! I was surprised by how many people were there, but it was still a nice little beach. Homeowner was very helpful and easy to communicate with! Definitely recommend staying here!
We stayed for just one night but wanted to stay longer! The house was impeccable, so cute, VERY clean and comfy. The backyard was great and shady and we had everything we needed. We will def stay again!
Property owner has created a beautiful little cottage, that accommodates a lot of people. They have thoughtfully provided everything you will need but had not thought of yourself. Traditional and modern furnishings. No worn out hand me downs kitschy clutter here.
The cottage was beautiful! It looked even better in person than in the pictures. There was plenty of space for our party of 6. We really enjoyed the outdoor spaces, especially the upstairs balcony. The outdoor shower with sea glass was amazing! I also really liked having a dining table on the back patio right outside the kitchen for easy indoor/outdoor living. It was a short walk or even shorter walk to the beach, which made for a relaxed beach vacation. My kids loved the local playground which was also very close. Highly recommend to to those looking for a low key beach getaway on the bay.
The house is brand spanking newly remodeled. Tanya has gone out of her way to make sure you have a first class experience. She is a very attentive host, even offered us tickets to a local event. Betterton is a nice little town out in beautiful farm country. Already booked another stay.
A delight to stay at cleanliness of house and wonderful detail to the comfort and welcome of guests
