Charming cottage with all the amenities. Owners were easy to work with. I loved sitting on the screened-in porch and relaxing to the sound of waves lapping on the shore. Just the recharge I needed!

The house has a tropical cottage fusion feel and is spacious for its small footprint and extremely comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything two cooks could possibly need and then some. The views from the property are breathtaking. But the property features many mature hardwood trees that offer shade and perches for bald eagles. The property also sits atop a sizable cliff along the Chesapeake Bay. There is community access to a playground and the shoreline below where we gathered driftwood, shells and colorful rocks. The property owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We can’t wait to go back!

A Return Trip

This was our second trip to this wonderful property, and we left wishing we had stayed longer. We will definitely return because we love the area, and the home is exactly what we would want if we were to build our own vacation home. It's such a warm and cozy place. It's even better than the pictures and description depict.

Gorgeous quiet spot by the bay

Lovely late summer weekend away! My second day had the perfect breezes to really enjoy sitting outside by the bluff. I’m recovering from an injury so was a bit disappointed by the distance to the beach - about 10 min walk - though it’s not bad if you’re not experiencing mobility difficulties like I am. Beach spot is cute and feels secluded. Well stocked kitchen!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Burke

Host profile image
We have been looking for a place that has a waterfront view, access to the water for boating, swimming and fishing in a small friendly community… comforts of home without the hassle… obviously, we found it! We are hosting for a limited time until we can move here permanently!!

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet of this house while watching boats go by. You can hear water lapping, the eagles, ospreys and hawks calling each other and watch them fishing. The light breeze and the sound of the leaves on the trees lulls us to sleep.

What makes this property unique

We provide sheets and bath towels, body wash, shampoo, laundry detergent (hopefully you don't have to do any...it’s vacation!!) Warm comforters and blankets... It can get chilly at night even in the summer... there is wood for the fire pit outside along the side of the house if you want!
We have a smart tv so you can log into your own streaming accounts. The TV is set up to log into your own netflix, hulu, Apple tv, prime video accounts etc…
A fun app to download when you are staying is the Marine Traffic App... you can download for free and will show you the boat name, captain, where the boat is going and what the boat is carrying as it passes by the cottage.
