About the host
Hosted by Maria
Welcome to Kinsale Cove Retreat, my home away from home. After my oldest sons moved out, I wanted to get a place where the family can come together and spend a few days away from the distractions of the big city sounds and crowds. I enjoy hosting because I feel there is a lot of value in friends and families spending time together in one simple yet quiet place. Sometimes, less is more.
Why they chose this property
The Kinsale/Sandy Point area is a reasonable drive from the DC area and there are enough activities happening around the towns that makes this house enjoyable. I love that is in a secluded neighborhood and close enough to the marina. Bring kayaks, canoes or jon boats and enjoy what the Yeocomico River has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Kinsale Cove is designed to invite conversation and togetherness. You can enjoy sitting on the dock at dawn with a warm cup of coffee, fishing for crabs, canoeing down the river, enjoying a picnic lunch, grilling your favorite meats and my favorite pass time - sitting by the fire at night watching the stars and moon go by. When inside, you can enjoy a good old fashioned game of charades or challenge others to a game of ping pong.
Life is about enjoying each others company - put the cell phones away and live in the moment.
