Amazing Waterfront Retreat On The Chesapeake Bay Private Pool Private Beach

From the hosts that have maintained a five star ratings on our cottage vacation rental, we would like to invite you to enjoy a special vacation in our four bedroom 3 full bath luxury estate home in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay.

The house has just undergone a complete remodeling and redecorating and boasts two indoor fireplaces and one outdoor fireplace with scenic views of the Choptank River from every room in the house. .
* The 20 x 40 river room offers expansive views of the river along with a big screen TV. Our gourmet kitchen will offer chefs everything your heart desires in preparing a meal. There are speakers throughout the downstairs with separate volume controls in all rooms so that guests can adjust the volume to their liking. Our 800 square foot patio located off the kitchen offers more panoramic views of the river and an outdoor fireplace perfect for s'mores or late night family storytelling. If steamed crabs is on the menu we can arrange for crabs to be delivered to the dock and from there to your professional steaming pot!

If your vacation week is timed near a full moon enjoy a beach bonfire at the waters edge as the moon rises before you and projects a moonbeam.
Upstairs balconies allow for private sunbathing.
For those that like to hit the road for an early morning jog or bike ride; the location offers a safe and quiet area due to our location at the end of a point of land.
The house will accommodate up to twelve guests. If more space is needed guests can enjoy another bedroom, living room, 1 and ½ baths and full kitchen available in our cottage.

Vacation time with family and landscapers
We have enjoyed our stay at the property, everything was very nice and spacious away from everything, just the way we wanted. Our only issue was the landscaping work being done for 2 days of our stay, my son has allergies on cut grass and he ended up staying indoor for the most of those days.

Enjoyable Week
The home and property were as shown on the VRBO site. Everything was in good working order and we had no challenges during our week. The host was readily available and checked in occasionally to make sure all was well. Great area and much less congested with tourists than some other Maryland sites.

peaceful retreat
the location on the bay was peaceful and the 25 acres was great for roaming and for our border collie to play. The salt water pool was a huge plus especially this summer. Dave and Cyndie were kind and very helpful. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Inside temperature perfect, and that was no small thing this year

Incredible Vacation on the Chapank River!
Beautiful property overlooking the Chapank River with boat access to Downtown Cambridge and Oxford for restaurants, ice cream and cruising. Dave and Cindy were perfect hosts, and were there for anything you need. The pool was great for the kids and relaxation, while looking out over the river.

Beautiful Place!
I went with 6 of my family members for the Ironman and we had a great time. Great communication with the property owners and we loved getting to pet Lucky (the cat) who wandered around. The house (mostly the stairwell and upstairs where the bedrooms were) does smell of cigarette smoke, so if you're extra sensitive to smells you would probably want somewhere else, but it wasn't super strong and we adjusted. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms spacious. The views of the river for the sunrise was amazing too!

Family Fun
We had a wonderful time enjoying all that the property had to offer. Everyone enjoyed being in the pool, exploring along the river’s edge, fishing off the dock, and kayaking in the river. The kids loved searching for and observing the wildlife around the property. We also had some wonderful meals that we prepared in the well stocked kitchen. The owners were very accommodating to our needs and were helpful with suggestions for places to go or see. They were even able to arrange a fishing charter for us. We had a great experience and would definitely stay at this property again.

Great Property!
We rented both the home and the cottage for our family weekend in the Chesapeake Bay area. Cindy and Dave were wonderful to work with in answering questions before and during our stay. The grandkids and Pappy fished from the dock every day. They swam in the pool and enjoyed the game room above the garage daily as well. This place has everything you need for a beautiful vacation and plenty of space for your families to "Make Memories" as ours did last weekend! We highly recommend it!

Beautiful place! Pictures don’t do justice for this house. Have to see it for yourself!
What an amazing time we had at this beautiful place. We spent the days swimming and fishing and nights talking and laughing by the fireplace making s’mores.

HIGHLY RECOMMNED It's hard to pack all the wonderful things about this property in a few paragraphs
We arrived and met Dave and Cindy who were getting ready for our arrival. Both were extremely welcoming. Cindy was very warm and gave us some figs and homemade fig butter from the fig trees on the property. Dave introduced himself as the "Director of Fun" and he did not disappoint! We were immediately impressed with the beauty and versatility of the home and the gorgeous and meticulously maintained property. It is obvious that Dave and Cindy take much pride in their home and enjoy sharing it with their guests. The house is large and well stocked. The downstairs has a large kitchen and lounge area with TV, a large dining room, a very large enclosed riverside living room that is so large it actually has two separate seating areas. There is a 4th whole other separate sitting room that has the pull out couch if needed. This expanse of space allowed all 11 of us to spread out and do what we enjoyed without being in each others way, including setting up two separate remote work areas. The formal bedrooms are upstairs and are very good sized. The two riverside bedrooms have doors that open out to a beautiful 2nd floor balcony that overlooks the River. A wonderful place to watch the sunrise and drink your coffee in the morning, or sit and have a chat with your loved ones. The whole riverside of the house has lots of wonderful natural light and river views. We spent a lot of our time on the stone patio off the kitchen, which is also riverside, to eat, talk, do projects with the kids, or enjoy the fireplace at night. The inground pool was perfectly maintained and never felt chemical-y or uncomfortable. There was lots of places in the pool area for us to sit when we weren't enjoying the pool. Dave would come out and give the kids popsicles. He became lovingly known as "Popsicle Dave" The little beach was perfect for the kids to play, go looking for rocks, shells, crabs, as well as was a good place to launch the house kayaks. Kayaking in the morning was a special type of peacefulness I've rarely experienced before. We enjoyed trying to catch fish from the dock. We did catch 2! We also loved the bird watching and exploring under the eagles nest onsite. Anything we wanted to do Dave and Cindy were so helpful with recommendations, all which blew us away-music, boating, restaurants, sights. Any questions we had, they responded promptly. Cindy and Dave were onsite, but never intrusive. We enjoyed them so much, we invited them over! We will be back!
