The beach front rental is currently available

This house has seen a great deal of history and has been a part of sea-trade along the Chesapeake Bay since the early 1900's. Not only has this home experienced its share of activity along the bay over the past 103 years but the neighborhood was created by The Great Coastal Hurricane on August 22, 1806. A few blocks from the Poseidon is the spot where President Abraham Lincoln came ashore to plan the Battle of Norfolk during the Civil War. From our front yard we still see commercial and naval ships as well as commercial watermen plying the historic Chesapeake Bay and still hear fog horns from these vessels.

The Beach Front rental is truly magnificent and unique. Our understanding is that this part of the original home was a gathering spot for rowdy commercial sailing captains that moved goods between Norfolk and Baltimore as well as an alleged meeting spot for Rum Runners in the 1920's. It is a 2-bedroom apartment home that contains nearly 1,200 square feet of living space. Features include wood floors throughout, plaster walls/ceilings, recessed ceiling lighting, sailing inspired wall sconces, fireplace, and sauna.
