About this property
Saint Leonard Long Beach Beach House
BODHI'S BAY HOUSE - This home is just a few steps from the private community beach, fully stocked with everything you need to have a great time on the bay. An hour from D.C. and a few minutes drive to fine casual waterfront dining at Solomon’s and Broomes Island. We provide beach towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, a cooler bag and a beach wagon. Also provided, on request, booster seat, playpen for the beach and a pack and play a child can sleep in. Kayaks are available (2 to 4), let us know if you need them. You will also find bed linens, bath towels, kitchen towels and all of the kitchen items needed to prepare a fine meal. A door from the kitchen leads to a screened porch that runs the length of the house. Bodhi’s Bay House has an open floor plan with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, additional sleeping in the “nook” (a trundle under the stairs); two bedrooms upstairs share a jack-and-Jill bathroom and both walk out to a second story deck with water views of the bay and a balcony that looks down on the living/dining room. Parking for 5 cars. You have found a gem on the bay, a fossil hunter’s delight, beach fires at night, unbelievable sunrises, nature parks, vineyards, crab feasts and good times.

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was especially helpful that it was so well stocked with essentials since we flew into DC and then drove to the house. The beach was a short walk from the house and even though it wasn't very big, we were almost the only ones there. The jellyfish were pretty bad 2 days though. We found that it wasn't very far to restaurants and Walmart for our needs.Thank you for very pleasant stay.

We were delighted to host your stay and that you enjoyed your stay.
The house was amazing and the short walk to the private beach was even better! Everyone we met was so kind and helpful! We found a few sharks teeth while there too! We can wait to come back!
This is our second stay here. Honestly, I hope to stay here every time we visit the Chesapeake. Bodhi"s is warm and welcoming, feels like I am coming home. In addition, it is immaculate and stocked with everything one needs.

Thank you for your review. I am so glad you enjoy your stays at Bodhi's Bay House. I hope you will return again.
Thanks.

Easy community beach access was by far the best feature of this rental. We spent most of our days on the quiet beach just down the street either fishing, swimming or shark tooth hunting. Everything you could ever need was provided in the house as well.
Back for a third year to this town and second at this house and we had a great time with our family. Lots of nice clean towels and always love how well equipped the kitchen is. Spent lots of time on the screen porch this year.

Thanks, Michelle. It was great to see your family again.
Great property in a quiet, scenic location near the water
We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely property. We enjoyed the quiet, scenic location near the water. The house is in great shape - great amenities, strong wifi signal, lots of entertainment options at the house. Check-in was very easy and intuitive. The location is ideal for exploring southern Maryland. We would definitely stay again.
We housed 6 of our crew members while they were out of town for an event our company produced. Owner was easy to work with and house was exactly as described.
Our goal - to escape the noisy DMV!
From the moment we arrived - the neighborhood was inviting, private and quiet right next to the Bay! The house was beyond our expectations!

I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your time at Bodhi Bay House. We love the area and the house and love to share.
4.5 stars if I could! This home's interior is super cute and cozy and the owner provides anything you could think. So nice to have all linens including beach towels here and not have to worry about forgetting something. The home was extremely clean!! 4 tvs on the property if that is important to you. The cutest little beach, home to the neighborhood herron, is just a 3 min walk away. Our young family really enjoyed this spot and its comfort and convenience! It would be a 5 spot if the outside property had a little more TLC. Highly recommend!

So happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Bodhi's Bay House property is well maintained and landscape. The property that could use some TLC belongs to my neighbor.
House was great. Screen porch was amazing to be able to sit out and not worry about bugs. The house was fully stocked with what we needed after some small grocery shopping. short walk location to the small beach that the kids never wanted to leave. It was a lovely vacation.
We had a very pleasant stay in this well-appointed and thoughtfully equipped home. The house itself has everything you might need—and more—for a comfortable and relaxing visit. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making guests feel welcome.The only minor drawback was the immediate surroundings outside, where a few areas appeared somewhat unkempt. It was a bit unclear who the items belonged to, and the area could benefit from a little tidying up or perhaps a partial fence to create more visual separation.That said, the interior and overall experience more than made up for it.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay. The outdoor area that you are referencing is not a part of this property, it belongs to a neighbor and I am not responsible for the upkeep. The property with Bodhi's Bay house is well kept and landscaped.
Have stayed at different properties in this community over the years on vacations. Really liked this place. Really nice loft style house that was very charming. Great back porch and upper deck with views of the bay. 2 minute walk to beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. Very well stocked with everything you would need and don’t think to bring, including things for the beach. It was a pleasure to meet Patti as she was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
This cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you need at the beach. Owner supplies linens (including beach towels) beach chairs and umbrella, kyaks, cart to haul it all. It's a very short walk to the private beach. Lovely screened porch and even some garden tomatoes and cucumbers! The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook for friends and family!
The property fit our family of 5 adults and 2 children (3 generations) perfectly. It was well-equipped for all our needs - cooking, beach-going, relaxing, playing games, and reading on the screen porch with bay views. It has an easy walk to a lovely beach that wasn't ever crowded. The property manager is nearby, friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. There is a great produce place not far that also sells local meat, dairy, and seafood - and we ate lots of delicious crab! The whole family wants to go back next summer.
We traveled from Alabama to Maryland to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. While there we invited some of her family over for a small dinner and celebration. We loved the home. It was decorated beautifully and there was plenty of seating and space. We really enjoyed the screed in back porch. The home is very organized and was not lacking in any amenity! The neighborhood is very quiet and while walking to the private beach we met some residents who were very friendly.

I am so glad you enjoyed your visit at the house. We love it there and come up often.
We are women, all over 60. Loved the cottage. The description was very accurate.
The kitchen was so well stocked!! Plenty of dvd movies to choose from for our evening downtime. Plus games galore.
The beds comfy.
And so clean.
Walking to the water was pure pleasure.
Easy driving distance to Annmarie Sculpture Garden, as well as various parks such as Calvert Cliffs.
We would stay again.
All of us agreed that Bodhi's Beach House was perfect. The cottage was charming, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. We were delighted with its proximity to the private beach and access to amenities (such as the kayaks and other gear) that made it easy for us to enjoy as little or as much as we wanted. I urge others to check out the area--a gorgeous mix of hiking trails and wetlands, often leading to stunning views of the bay and hidden beaches.
Patti was an excellent host--friendly and responsive, yet allowing us the freedom to truly relax. Thank you for your kindness! We will do our best to visit again soon!
We stayed here with our children and their grandmothers and all had a wonderful time! The kitchen is well stocked and we had no problem finding cookware or whatever else we needed. Clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into the decor! I loved the colors, so bright and welcoming! We appreciated the baby gate and used it to block the stairs for our toddler. Our family enjoyed playing cards on the back patio and walking to the little beach by the house. We were able to find a few shark teeth and other fun treasures. It was a nice getaway! Thank you!
