About this property

Ruby's Sea Glass Cottage near Betterton Beach

Have fun with the whole family at this cozy home in the center of Betterton, MD. You can walk to the beach to relax, find some sea glass or watch the sunset! The kids will enjoy the large park within walking distance while the adults enjoy a game of tennis or pickleball. This house has an adorable kitchen, three tranquil bedrooms, one amazing bathroom and three beautiful outdoor spaces to unwind. Bedroom #1 has two twin beds, bedroom #2 has a queen bed and bedroom #3 has a king bed. All bedrooms are on the second floor. The living room which is on the first floor has a sleeper sofa . The bathroom is also on the first floor. It has tile that resembles sea glass and heated floors! Besides the great location our cottage is known for the PORCHES! Enter the house through a screened porch on the first floor that is nice to enjoy in the evening. There is a covered porch/balcony upstairs which is great to sit on and read a book (you enter this porch from the queen bedroom). There is also an open deck in the fenced in back yard that has a gas grill (you enter the deck from the kitchen). There's also two parking spaces available. Kids items upon request. We have some beach supplies and sporting good equipment in the boxes next to the deck. We hope you come to Ruby’s Sea Glass Cottage and want to come again & again! *Furniture and decor may need to be replaced and can change from listing photos. *One night stays may be allowed by request. It is more likely to have this accepted in the off season.

Sweet Cozy Cottage

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.

A nice little get away in the cold of winter

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.

A True Gem

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!

Stay in Betterton

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!

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.

Multi-Generation Beach Trip

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.

Hidden gem in Betterton, Maryland

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.
