This condo is situated in the quiet town of Betterton and located just steps away from the largest and most beautiful beach on the Northern Chesapeake Bay. The condo has a large deck accessible from two nine foot sliding glass doors from both the family room and master bedroom. Enjoy true indoor/outdoor living with meals or drinks on the deck while watching the spectacular sunset over the water.
This nicely furnished and well appointed 2 bedroom 2 full bathroom condo has everything your dream vacation needs minus the hustle and bustle. Relax on the spacious deck and bbq while enjoying the water view looking North towards Turkey Point and Havre DeGrace. Enjoy a family day on the beach and feel free to use our beach chairs, rafts, and sand toys. Betterton is located just far enough North in the Bay to have a salinity low enough to keep the Jellyfish away. The beach has a lifeguard during the summer months.
Betterton is a quaint little town on the Chesapeake Bay located at the mouth of the Sassafrass River. It is the perfect destination for your family getaway where you can relax in tranquility far away from the crowds and traffic. Stroll down to the beach to catch the sunset or fish from the pier for the easy to catch giant blue cats and the occasional striper. You can even try crabbing from the dock (July 15th to November 1st). If you have a boat you may dock on the town pier for up to 72 hours or use the town boat launch. Boat trailers may be stored at Turners Creek Launch about 5 miles away. You will need a 3 day permit ($30) or a yearly permit that may be purchased at "Mollys" just up the road or ahead of time with a mail in form. https://www.kentcounty.com/recreation/paddling/launch-ramps
