About this property

  • Free WiFi, kayak rentals. Our HOA precludes wedding or large gatherings. We are located on the Chesapeak's Bay Eastern shore, 14 miles north of Solomons Isld ,Calvert Cnty, Md

    Beautiful sunrises and panoramic bay views make this 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, vacation beach house (sleeps eight). Located in Southern Maryland’s Western shore, only 45 min from Washington, D.C, in a charming 15 home community. Fossils galore, walk 5 miles on the bay's sandy shores. 450 pier, kayaks available.

    If you wish you adventure off the shore, there are so many fun activities to do in our area. One of the more special spots located just 14 miles south from our home is Solomons Island. It is a charming village full of shops, great restaurants and fun activities for the entire family at the Calvert Marine Museum. The museum is a public, non-profit, educational, regionally oriented museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, research, and interpretation of the culture and natural history of Southern Maryland. They offer concerts and historical tours. Explore the history, culture, and lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River all in one place.

    Please note, swimming is a challenge in any part of they Chesapeake Bay. Jelly fish arrives generally the lsst week in June and the first week in July which prohibits swimming. Be sure to walk on the pier before you go swimming even in May or June just to make sure they have not arrived. When a storm is about to arrive, the jelly fish go deep as they are very much affected by the salinity in the water. But don't be deceived because after the rain storm, they will return


    If you would like more information, please review both the state of Maryland and Calvert County office of tourism sites to get the latest activities:

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!

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.

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.

Relaxing week.

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.

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.

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.
