Inn on the Ocean

Maryland


This beachfront cottage has its own white picket fence – not to mention direct views of the ocean. Inside, this six-room B&B provides an elegant escape from the summertime craziness. It's a pleasant alternative to the usual OC big-box lodging. In warmer months you can enjoy your gourmet breakfast on the veranda.
