Peaceful stay
Our family of four enjoyed a peaceful stay at Bare Necessities! The house was well stocked with everything we needed for a week on the Eastern Shore. Teri communicated throughout the process, which made preparing for the stay very easy! This house is in a wonderful location and a short ride to many different attractions, but we ended up spending most of our time enjoying the dock, creek, and pool at the house. We look forward to a return visit.

Family vacation
We had a lovely family vacation at a beautiful home with everything we like. It was in a beautiful creek with wildlife, a wonderful pool, the canoes and dock. Very private and beautiful property with a garden. The game room was awesome! Beautiful pond area. Everything was well keep and clean, as the inside of the home. Very comfortable and clean!! Loved the tvs in all rooms, even though we didn’t need to use most of them! We enjoyed just sitting outside and gazing at our view. Thank you Teri, for having us!

Why they chose this property

For years we crossed the Choptank River bridge and drove through Cambridge on our way to vacations in Ocean City and were intrigued by its quaintness. We spent a few long weekends exploring the area, decided to purchase a home, and found our property on Jenkins Creek. We've decided to share our home as a vacation property. We hope you enjoy our home and the Cambridge area as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our home is located at the end of Jenkins Creek Road overlooking the water and only several minutes from downtown Cambridge with its unique shops and restaurants. Minimal local traffic make walking, jogging, and bike riding safe and pleasurable. The school and city park at the town end of Jenkins Creek Road (1 1/4 miles away) have tennis and basketball courts, play areas for kids, and views of the Choptank river. The Jerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh, with its public boat launch, fishing docks, and picnic areas is only about 2 miles away. Also, because of our location, you can explore the Cambridge area without the hassle of the beach traffic on Route 50.
