Stunning secluded Luxury waterfront cottage with private deep water pier!

Ivy Cove is located in the The Soundings neighborhood; a family community designed exclusively for boating enthusiasts. The placid waters of Mill Creek, which is considered one of the finest natural harbors available from Chesapeake Bay. Only ten minutes by boat to the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, yet, when you look out over the waters of Mill Creek you have the feeling that you are on the pine-wooded shores of a beautiful Northern Lake.

A newly renovated waterfront cottage with a warm charming appeal capture the unique features of this 1965 home. Take in the beautiful view of Brooks Cove, an inlet off of Mill Creek, from the large wrap around porch while enjoying the morning sunrise. Spend your afternoons paddling around the creek inlets and the evenings relaxing by the fire pit watching the bald eagles sore over the cove. Or take a short ride to beautiful Solomon’s Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomon’s Pier, or take a stroll down the boardwalk to Cone Island.

Outdoor Shower
Barbecue Grill with utensils
3 Kayaks (1 sit in; 2 sit-on)

Corn hole

3rd stay, wonderful, again.

There is no better place to unwind and chill. Sit on the porch, enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the cove. Kj makes sure the place is super comfortable, clean and fun. Enjoy kayaking, crabbing, fishing, cornhole and just simple relaxation, we love this place!

Amazing stay!

The home and property couldn't have been more beautiful and peaceful! Every detail was looked after for a comfortable stay and felt immediately at home. The views were stunning and the home and outside areas had so much privacy, despite being only a few minutes away from anything you might need. 10/10, would definitely stay again!

The property was beautiful and exactly as pictured. Secluded location with everything you would ever need to enjoy the landscape. We had kids with us and it was a perfect set up for water activities. The owner KJ was so very nice, super responsive, and went above and beyond to assist us when we needed it. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return one day soon.

Long weekend at the river

Fantastic

My family had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cove. We were in town for our niece’s wedding and it was close enough to participate in all family activities but far enough away to be a peaceful haven to relax. The house is beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit and game room. The owner was fantastic. We would absolutely stay again in this amazing home.

Wonderful Getaway

This property was just what I needed for a weekend getaway. The entire home is spectacular and spending our mornings eating breakfast on the porch overlooking the water was wonderful. We were able to enjoy the fire pit in the evenings and even made an attempt at fishing. It is a beautiful home and the surrounding area has anything you need for your trip.

Only negative feedback is the master bedroom mattress is really lumpy and very soft. Hard time sleeping. Other bedrooms are good. Rest of house is great!

Chilling in the Cove.

The place is awesome. Everything that you need to have a nice relaxing time with the family. The game room downstairs was a huge plus for the kids. So many things to do at the place and in the area. The place is secluded with many wildlife friends and critters. We would definitely recommend for great family time together.

We spent New Year's weekend at Ivy Cove and loved every minute of it. The house had everything we needed (shout out for having Old Bay!). The location was perfect and the views were outstanding. KJ is an awesome host. I can't wait to come back in warmer weather and enjoy the kayaks!
