About this property

This charming 1950's era home sits directly on the water of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.
It's a single story, 3 bedroom/1 bath home that is located on the ground floor with no stairs to negotiate.
If you love being on the water, you will love this charming home. Our Bay is populated with water fowl, seagulls, ducks and geese - perfect for those wanting to reconnect with nature. This home is surrounded by large trees and bushes, giving it a very private feel.
Our Master Bedroom features a Queen size bed. We've also installed a twin bed for those needing additional sleeping capacity.
The second bedroom also features a Queen size bed. The third bedroom, or kids room, features two twin size beds.

Parking is located just a few feet from the entryway.

There's one full bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower. We have plenty of off street parking in this secluded semi-private property just outside your front door.

Come enjoy the solitude and the most beautiful sunset views ever!

We are located just a block from the marina, so this is perfect for those who want to launch their boat. And just a couple of blocks from the Beautiful sandy beaches of the Bay - the beach access has abundant parking as well.

We are pet friendly with plenty of room to allow your little friends to run and play! This set up is perfect for your 4 legged friends - with tile floors, don't worry about the sand that is sure to follow you in. Clean up is a breeze. Fall asleep listening to the gentle waves of the Chesapeake Bay. And let the cool breeze blow away the present day stress! Join us with a small step back in time as you enjoy our Charming Waterfront Cabin situated right on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay!

We have a Charcoal Grill available for you culinary delight! We have a wood burning Fireplace - please bring your own wood.

For your relaxing evening entertainment, there is a large 65" Smart TV with high speed WiFi for your streaming TV service.

FYI, it is an older home with the flaws and character you would expect of an 80 year old house. As such, this may not be the perfect home for everyone. We still have the single pane windows, a wood burning fire place and some of the older plumbing and fixtures. We do not offer perfection, but a comfortable place to enjoy nature and the Bay Beaches while you make wonderful family memories!

Perfect for us!

We loved the house, very charming and comfortable. We actually really liked that it was an older house rather than a newly built vacation unit, it felt so homey. Owners were wonderful, had zero issues. Would definitely rent it again!

Nice house in a quiet spot. Lovely view.

It was so nice to be able to go back to a house. Beds were great. House was clean. There s a beach a couple blocks from the house that is nice. No waves for the boogie board but it was peaceful and not crowded.

Not the best experience

Our stay started off good. Woke up in the morning to an ant infestation in the kitchen and living room. Contacted owner who was responsive. While waiting for someone to come deal with the ants we found 2 roaches. When the guy showed up for the ants we told him about the roaches and he wasn’t interested in seeing them or dealing with them. I messaged the owner about us leaving due to the roaches and asked for a refund. It is 2 days later and still no response. I definitely would not stay at this property again.
