Steps to Beach Fireplace Pat's Porch

Forty steps from the Atlantic shoreline on Highland Avenue, this Salisbury beach cottage offers a private porch with a wood-burning fireplace — a setup rare enough on the Maryland shore that guests book return stays before checkout.

The full kitchen runs a stovetop, oven, microwave, and complete kitchenware, making it a practical base for extended stays. A barbecue on the patio handles evenings outside, and parking is on-site — useful given Salisbury's limited street space near the beach in summer.

Ocean City's casino strip sits within a short drive north, while the quieter Assateague Island National Seashore lies twenty minutes south. The private entrance means no shared lobbies or front-desk queues.
