Summary:

Experience Little Bay and Willoughby Spit from this thoughtfully designed, stylish home. Life in Willoughby revolves around the Chesapeake Bay and from this home you are just steps to public beach access of the Chesapeake Bay. One of the greatest pleasures of living on the bay is simply strolling along the beach, enjoying the sand between your toes and the salty air.  The bay’s warm waters and gentle waves create an ideal playground for children and make swimming both pleasurable and safe. Relax/Enjoy!
