Beautiful sunrises and panoramic bay views make this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, vacation beach house (sleeps eight).

My home has yesteryear charm as it was contracted in the early 1940's but totally renovated adding even more charm to this 3 bedroom home that sleeps 8,
My home is located in a one of the kind community on the Chesapeake, we offer more amenities than any other community on the Bay. We have a 450’ pier, great for crabbing and fishing, a boat ramp, 350’ of private community beach with picnic tables, beach chairs, fire pit, a oversized charcoal grill and fossils from the Miocene era everywhere on the beach. You can walk north for miles on a sandy beach, and there is a private entrance to miles of the American Chestnut Land Preservation Old Bay Forest from our land.
Embark on a stay where your well-being is top priority. Our recent installation of an air purification system ensures 99% germ free environment, both in the air and on the surfaces. Breathe in the freshness as you relax in a home that not only delights the senses but also cares for your health.
Bay Adventure Awaits:
For the adventurer in you, explore the Chesapeake with our kayaks available for rent at just $75.00 each for your entire stay. As you paddle through the shimmering waters, marvel at the stunning sunrises and panoramic bay views that paint the sky with hues of magic. Parkers Creek Bird Sanctuary awaits you just 5 miles north.

Enjoy walking for miles on winding trails thru our old bay forest, located just adjacent to our property. There are eagles’ nests along the trail and abundance of other birds that will sing you a symphony to delight your senses. The sounds of frogs add to the chorus.
Nature’s Playground:
Beyond the bay, our 450-foot pier, miles of nature trails, we have an open recreation field offering endless possibilities. Weather fishing /crabbing off the pier, searching for sea glass, sharks’ teeth and other fossils from the Miocene era or having a fire on the beach at night cooking marshmallows over our fire pit, this is a haven where memories are born.

With a pet friendly policy and a nominal fee of $75.00 per dog, your four-legged companions can enjoy the sandy shoreline and join you in creating everlasting memories. Dogs must be on a leash.

Spectacular Spaces for Every Mood: I

The lower level is open with walls of glass surrounding two sides …. the views are breathtaking from every room. We have two separate family gathering areas on the lower level, one on the porch and the other by the stone fireplace with a 50” Roku smart screen T.V. This floor plan allows for everyone to have their space yet not feel separated from the group.
The upper level is conveniently designed as third sitting/sleeping area with another smart.TV over the fireplace. The sofa serves as a queen size bed. There is a trundle bed in this room that serves as two twin beds. This sleeping room is not private as you must walk thru this room to access the private master bedroom. Please review the pictures and make sure this is acceptable with your guests prior to booking.
The master bedroom boats a cathedral ceiling and a wall of glass, providing an uninterrupted view of the sun rising over the bay each morning.
You will love the desk in this sitting/sleeping room, perfect for your computer, if you can stop looking at the bay as it has a 6’ picture window.
The master bath is spectacular. It has an oversized floor to ceiling shower with two shower nozzles. There is a 6’ picture window in the shower with a stunning panoramic view of the Bay. Enjoy watching the sea gulls or the crab, cruise boats or shipping vessels while showering.
Enjoy an enclosed outdoor shower that has wonderful views of the bay. The front deck spans the entire length of the house. Imagine sipping wine or your morning coffee and watching the blue herons -- our local eagles -- and an assortment of other birds diving into the bay in search of their next feast. Or watching the large variety of boats traveling the bay for commerce or pleasure. This is truly the place where special memories are made.
We also have a back deck which is wonderful for morning coffee. The deck is surrounded by beautiful gardens offering an assortment of color for your enjoyment. There is a 20-year-old Crape Myrtle that graces our walkway. It starts blooming in mid-July thru August and sometimes into September. You will really enjoy the beauty of its deep blossoms as you sip your coffee. There is another tree that sits close to our deck, offering you lots of privacy, which is a favorite sanctuary for an assortment of birds. Expect to be serenade by various songs as birds chat with each other. Download a bird app and listen to the excitement of the birds around you.
This is a magical place. I'm not sure there are words to describe the charm of our warm and inviting home on the bay. The views from every room are simply breathtaking! You'll truly feel like you are on a ship overlooking a vast body of water. And the view is constantly changing.
As all our guests affirm, this is a vacation you will never forget – a magical escape that leaves an indelible mark on your heart. Book now and let the charm of our Bayfront home be the backdrop for your most cherished memories.

Absolutely perfect
We booked this property to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday with our two kids and dog. It was perfect in every way, from the communications with Alicia to the location and lovely neighbors, direct access to the beach, space of the home and layout (The views! The deck!), the amenities, cleanliness, all of it! I even got to catch a sunrise when our dog woke up at 620am. We loved it so much we are now considering trying to get a summer home down here! Thanks for a great, memorable weekend.

Peaceful getaway by the sea
This place was a wonderful spot for our family to have a long weekend getaway. It's on a bluff right next to the ocean with a glorious view and a stairway access to the beach. The beds are comfortable, the house has lots of great spaces to relax or play games, and the beach is a wonderful space to explore, find seashells and possibly a fossil sharks tooth (we had no luck there, but we did find a whale vertebrae, so that's something!). But in any event, we highly recommend!

Perfect holiday getaway
This was a last minute decision to go on vacation at Christmas and the home ‘on the bay’ fit our needs when I instantly saw the pics on VRBO.It gave that homey and cozy feeling we were looking for and the description of the home was exactly as noted. The view was outstanding as well as the neighborhood around the area - close to everything but yet far enough away for that much needed peace and quiet. Communication with Alicia was exceptional. She made sure from the moment we signed up for the home until our vacation was complete to be sure we had a 5-star experience. We can’t wait to go back.

Bay vacation
The house was spacious and super clean. Lots of windows with beautiful views. Found lots of shark teeth. Loved the showers! Appreciate the owner having a pack n play, baby gate and baby chair. We had a 1 and 2 year old so had to move some of the breakable items out of reach. The stairs to the beach wore this grandma out though.

Nice house with a great view. I don't usually get up to see the sunrises when on vacation, but it is worth it here. Nice walk on a quiet beach just steps from the house. Short drive to downtown for anything you need, restaurants, shopping, fuel, ect.. Communication with host was very easy. Everything was clean and as described. Close enough to Washington D.C. for a day trip, but far enough away for a quiet relaxing vacation.

Truly an Amazing Place
We love staying at this comfortable and spacious beachfront property. It was our second time here. Alicia is wonderful to deal with.
The views from most every room are spectacular. The kitchen is big for cooking family meals and has all the equipment you will need.
The bedrooms and living areas are comfortable and welcoming. The shower in the master bath has the best view ever!
Our main activity is fossil hunting and the kids and adults collectively found over 50 (mostly tiny) teeth in two days.
You can walk a good distance on the beach at low tide.
It's truly a beautiful location.
There's also a fishing pier that's fun for the kids.
We had a terrible weather weekend, unfortunately, but had quite a show watching the Chesapeake tossing and turning with big waves.
Despite the weather, we still made a drive to Solomon's to visit the Calvert Marine Museum, which we also love.
This house is quite a find and we look forward to renting it again.
