About this property

Soul Oasis - home on the Chesapeake Bay

About this space
You can hear the waves of the Chesapeake Bay from the trex deck. There are two community beaches you can access in the neighborhood, Seashorse and Driftwood, where you can find fossils and sharks teeth and see plenty of nature. A great place to relax and unwind. You will hear the sounds of all kinds of birds, see lots of very tiny frogs and maybe some deer! You can also expect to see and hear all kinds of aircraft from Pax River Base fly overhead!
Book your stay today and let the magic of the woods and water wash away your cares.
The space
Bedroom with twin trundle beds on the main floor. Spiral stairs to the loft and queen size bed with small balcony outside. There is no bathroom in the loft. The bathroom is on the main floor and is small. We provide extra linens for the extra trundle and couch space, if needed.
The house is heated with electric baseboard heat on the lower level and a mini-split in the loft.
Guest access
You may access the basement separately from the outside where we keep beach chairs and the washer and dryer.

The soul oasis was exactly what he hoped it would be! The host was stellar and we felt very welcome! The scenery was serene and the added dusting of snow was a nice surprise! Nice touches throughout the home. We hope to visit again in a different season. The property name is fitting for anyone seeking to recalibrate and rest! Thank you!

The cozy cabin had everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was in a very private setting with the beach access a few houses away. You can hear the Chesapeake bay lapping at the shore and catch a glimpse of sail boats going by. We enjoyed our time at the home.

The A-frame cottage was clean and comfortable. I was accompanied by my son and two grandchildren (ages 12 and 14), and we really loved it. We went fishing in bay at the beach area below the cottage, and also did a lot of fossil hunting along the cliffs, which are breathtaking. Our host Teresa was extremely helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!

Peaceful Holiday Weekend

Soil Oasis is a wonderful property! Even prettier than the photos online, and the outdoor amenities (fire pit, deck chairs, hammock) are such a nice perk. Teresa was incredibly accommodating with my schedule change and the details she provided on-site for local recommendations and directions to the beach were greatly appreciated. Beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and organized, and the property was quiet.

Soul Oasis a hidden gem! The slightly retro vibe of the decor was so cute while at the same time providing all the modern amenities. The kitchen had enough plates, silverware, utensils, cleaning supplies, pots and pans, etc; the big porch has beautiful views and it somehow feels secluded even though there are houses around and you're only 15 minutes from Solomon's Island with nice restaurants and stores. One thing I would make people aware of is IF you have mobility issues or are a bigger person, getting up the narrow spiral staircase to the second floor bedroom would be challenging, but if that is not a concern, then this place gets a 10 out of 10!

Quality time

Beautiful place, very clean and nicely decorated. The only thing I wish was better was to have a bathroom upstairs and the stairs to be a bit easier to access, they are a bit tricky for those over 50:) nice view too!

Family beach weekend

We had a great weekend, seeing crabs in the private beach area (in a separate marsh/ water), frogs, heron birds, trying to fish, and jumping in waves. The house worked well for a short stay.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway!

The house is clean and cozy, with everything you need for a short trip, and the host was responsive. The nearby beach is fun for exploring - we saw a large snapping turtle in the pond there! The location was perfect for going shark tooth hunting and visiting Solomons. We would happily stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Ward

Host profile image
I've lived in Southern Maryland my entire life. I work as a Hospice nurse and manage two short-term rentals in Southern Maryland. I love the beach - sharks tooth hunting, kayaking and paddle boarding. When guests aren't at the house, you can often find me there walking the beach and hunting for sharks teeth and fossils!

Why they chose this property

I love how secluded the house feels. It provides instant relaxation. If you don't feel like walking the short walk down to the beach, you can sit on the deck and hear the waves from the hammock!

What makes this property unique

A cute little A-frame with lots of personality! The spiral steps lead to the cozy loft bedroom. There is a balcony off of this bedroom. There is so much wildlife to see - deer, frogs, all kinds of birds and turtles. And lots of military planes that fly overhead from Pax River base.
