Perfect Getaway

My friends and I decided to do a well overdue girls weekend to get away from the stresses of life. Away At The Bay was the perfect place to do this. The owner is an awesome host. He left no stone unturned and was very attentive to the details of our trip. Although the pictures of the home are nice online, the home and it's charm is more beautiful in person. I cannot imagine another host being at the same level as what was presented to us. I will definitely utilize this house again as well as refer it to others.

We’ve rented a lot of homes over the years and this is one of the best! The location is fabulous, the house oozes hospitality and the hosts are amazing! Wine, snacks and gifts for our dogs were waiting on our arrival and the personal touches in every room made for an incredibly warm welcome. We can’t wait to return!

Fabulous place for a reunion with friends!!

What a perfect location, right on the Chesapeake Bay! The house is immaculately clean, the decor is fabulous, and the hosts thought of EVERYTHING! They were so very kind and welcoming to our group of friends. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, sipping wine on the deck and playing cornhole in the backyard. And the sunset views are just stunning!

Best rental experience ever

The home was absolutely perfect. My entire family stayed at the home for a long weekend and everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. The hosts were incredibly communicative before and during our stay. The home itself was spectacular, from the upscale finishes, to the gorgeous Chesapeake views. The cherry on top was the attention to detail and personalized touches/notes left throughout the home by the host. Can not recommend this property enough!

Amazing place and fantastic hosts!

Magnificent. The location was fantastic for getting around Kent Island and the wedding. It was good for going to Annapolis and to BWI. The highlight was the house itself and the very thoughtful 'extras' and details that the hosts put together. They had photos that we sent them of the engaged couple. They had a gift bag for the bridal party and suggestions on places to go, things to do, etc. Absolutely fantastic. I cannot recommend them enough. My sister - mother of the groom already said that they want to book it again and come back for a week and really get to enjoy the house and location.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Pfoutz

Hi! We are Eric & Ryan. Almost 20 years ago, we met on the lakes of Algonquin Park in Canada on a college trip. As friends in college and later while dating, we would often travel together around the eastern shore of Maryland, discovering all the beauty that it offers. Over those years, we kept getting pulled to the Chesapeake Bay - a beautiful meeting place between the ocean and mountains of Maryland. For the past few years, we traveled all around Kent Island looking for the perfect spot: and then we came across Bay Drive. In October 2019, we made it official by buying the land and the rest is history. This spot has already offered us so many amazing times as a family with our 6 year old twins and crazy dog, Hank, and we cannot wait to share it with the world.

Why they chose this property

This property means so much to us - it's in an amazing location on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. It's where we see people spending time together outside (perhaps getting married here!) and just good ol' fashioned fun. Being able to get people outside, away from distractions, and taking in this amazing view motivates us to make this place as special as we can to match the beauty that is this view.

What makes this property unique

Watch the big ships (including cruise ships) roll in and out of the Baltimore harbor. Seeing the twinkling lights of the western shore is always magical at night. You can spot the Bay Bridge from the end of the yard and a few lighthouses on a clear day. When you get here, you instantly feel calm and ready to relax. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
