Charming Waterfront Cottage with Private Dock. Close to Annapolis & USNA

The Beachwood Cottage is located near Mayo, Maryland, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The property sits on Ramsey Lake and is close to the mouth of the South River allowing for easy boat access to the River and the Chesapeake Bay. The 1940’s Beachwood Cottage sits on 1.5 acres and was once the guest house on a private 6 acre point. The owners of the point have recently reacquired the cottage property and are pleased to offer families and guests the opportunity to enjoy the solitude of this quaint setting. The property abounds in wildlife with regular sightings of deer, fox, osprey and even the occasional bald eagle.
The recently renovated cottage is approximately 1850 square feet of fully furnished living space with three bedrooms, two full baths, family room, dining room and kitchen. The cottage can accommodate a maximum occupancy of eleven (11) people. The upstairs includes two bedrooms and one full bath with a tub. One bedroom, called The Bunk room has one queen, one full and a bunk bed with a twin and full mattress. This room can sleep up to seven. The other upstairs bedroom, known as the Buoy Room, is furnished with a full-size bed. The downstairs bedroom, known as the Crab Room, is furnished with a queen bed.
There is a massive 800 square foot deck with a built-in bar and grill that offers an excellent place for sunning during the day and socializing in the evening. There is a flat screen TV in the living room with cable and a DVD player. The house also has the internet available via Wi-Fi.
Originally a guest cottage, it does sit behind the main house and requires a short walk on its own private access to its own private dock. The dock overlooks a couple of marinas on the quiet protected waters off of the South River. It is equipped with a boat lift and jet ski lift which is available to the avid boater, if they so choose. Because the property is so close to the South River, it is a short boat ride to Thomas Point Light House, downtown Annapolis, and a variety of boat up restaurants. The house comes with two kayaks which is an excellent way to explore the back waters. The dock is a wonderful spot to fish, crab and even swim. The evening sunsets enjoyed from either the large house deck or on the boat dock are magical.
Beachwood Cottage is ideally located for families interested in exploring many of the historical sites in the area. Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis and the Naval Academy are all within a 30 to 60 minute drive under normal conditions. Airport access is also as convenient with BWI and Raegan International airports within the same driving distance.

Great place to Relax
Was a great place to stay for my wife and I to meet up with family in the area. Well situated with a large outside deck where we enjoyed hanging out around the fire pit. Lots of bird calls and a view out to the water. Short walk to the dock.

Beautiful views!
This property was a great place for our family. Plenty of space for us and my grandson loved the bunkbeds. We would like to return when it’s warmer to enjoy the dock and outside area.

Thanksgiving with our Mid
This is our second Thanksgiving at the Cottage at Beechwood. This year we had all four of our kids join us for Thanksgiving with our Midshipman. There were 8 of us and we all were very comfortable with our sleeping arrangements and even with all having a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in the large dining room. We ordered our dinner from Main and Market and enjoyed the beautiful setting. We took an amazing family photo by the dock, enjoyed the fire pit and enjoyed our multiple trips into Annapolis.

Weekend with family
We spent a long weekend with family and had the best time! The house is very nice, well stocked, clean and has a great deck and view! Check in was super easy and the owners were very responsive and helpful. The area is nice and just under a 30 minute drive to USNA. Would love to come back and highly recommend.

Peaceful Restful Getaway
We spent the weekend with our son, who goes to the Academy, which is just a short trip away but far enough where you are out of the hubbub of Annapolis. Lots to explore, excellent hiking areas and restaurants, and just a beautiful, peaceful setting. The hosts were helpful and friendly and helped to make our stay most pleasurable. We'll be back!

Great "Home Base" for family wedding weekend
The property was a great home base for our family who traveled from RI for a family wedding. The property was clean, well stocked, and the owners provided detailed information about the area as well as checkin/checkout procedures. The dock and large deck with firepit were among my favorite spaces!

Family trip to the Bay
We had an amazing time, the VRBO enhanced our trip with its relaxing atmosphere and had everything we needed to be comfortable and peaceful. Family nearby made this the ideal '2nd home' for our family and we'll be sure to use this home again!

Wonderful !
Fantastic home. Clean , charming and comfortable. The cottage was well equipped and well stocked. The huge deck had an amazing water view with birds and wildlife galore. Nicely secluded but within minutes of everything you could need. Close to Annapolis and DC. Don’t not hesitate to book if you’re considering it. Enjoy

Beautiful, peaceful setting.
The updated cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The deck was large and provided an amazing view of the lake, especially at sunset. With 4 grandchildren ages 10-12, we did wish for more space for them to hang out, especially at night. During the day, the really enjoyed the kayaks and fishing. The steps inside the cottage were a little intimidating for us older adults. Overall though, we really enjoyed our time there.
