Scotland, Maryland
Gaelic for “Chief lord,” the Kentigern rental is the beaming tribute to the Scotland Yards’ creator’s father, Kenneth.
Regal and majestic, the Kentigern commands its presence within the Scotland Yards community with its 4-storey sky high views from multiple levels. This rental also provides the most accommodation and ease for handicapped persons, with an elevator that grants easier access to the expansive house.
An expansive and sleek industrial-styled kitchen has everything you need, and is lined with windows that overlook the grounds. State-of-the-art stainless steel keeps your food fresh and surfaces clean without sacrificing the style. The designated dining area is surrounded by views of the tree tops and the far-reaching horizon of the Bay.
Kentigern is sited on its own 2-acre sandy lot with a beach at the south end. For the adventurer, two kayaks on premise are provided for guest use. Kayak directly on the Chesapeake Bay in mid-morning to hear the calls of the ospreys migrating from tree to tree. The Kentigern provides the most space for you to stretch out, letting you and your loved ones escape to the Bay in peace. For your stay, we’ve included two bicycles that are provided year-round, and two kayaks that are available from late spring to early fall only, for your safety.

The views of the Bay from each window was great. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. The beds comfortable. Plenty of parking.
The house and location are gorgeous. Management was quick to respond to questions. Will definitely book this property again.
The property is gorgeous surrounded by nature. You wake up in the morning and sip your coffee or tea listening to the birds and waves sound. Bring your food supply and you will not need to go out. Nearest big shopping is about 30-35 min. Great for families get together. Has an elevator which helps bringing things up to the kitchen in 3rd floor but my husband needed it.Little kids will require lots of supervision with the steps. Bay water was warm, sandy and many pebbles, typical from the area. Some jellyfish and small fishes. Is a definite do over in the near future.
I love this property will be back next year with the entire family!
Great location and nice view
We had a nice stay with our family to celebrate our son's graduation from St. Mary's College of Maryland. The house was perfect for our group and we enjoyed the beach.
This is our second visit to Kentigern and it won't be our last.
This is a higher-end beach property with a wonderful wide view of the bay from window-filled comfortable rooms. As one member of our party is in a wheelchair, the small elevator was important to our enjoyment of the property. Small beach on the property and larger beach adjoining. Jellyfish were out when we were there, so didn't spend much time in the water. But that was just our bad luck, as they are not constant. Spent a lot of time chatting, cooking/baking, eating, and getting around and about, including a day trip to Smith Island from Point Lookout. Heat wave while we were there, but stayed comfortable both indoors and under a shady tree enjoying breezes off the bay. Very nice place.
To our surprise when we entered the house, the rooms were small with exception to the master bedroom on the top floor. Main issue is the main living / family room was like a sauna and we sweated inside as their dual ac system did not keep it cool to 71. The three sides are all glass windows. the sun shines in from sunrise to sunset. No shades, blinds, etc. to keep heat out, no ceiling fans to keep air circulating. when it was hot 95 outside, it was 85-87 inside. We had to sleep and use other bedrooms. We had a handicap elderly person and the heat upstairs made it unbearable for her and us. We made the owner aware and they basically told us to deal with it as it was so hot The master bedroom on the 3rd floor ceiling fan was broken which again was submitted and we could not use to being a safety concern A broken ceiling fan out on the 3rd deck Ice maker didn’t work, so we had to purchase bags of ice Coffee maker was a cheap one and didn’t work 100% The back screened deck had tons of flys stuck in the screens and mold / mildew on the interior walls. Several kitchen Chairs didn’t have screws fastened or were missing Living room picture on line was misleading. It was crowded with too much furniture No mop or bucket to clean up spills The elevator comes up and opens right into the master bathroom and it’s a non-private bathroom / shower. They list they supply toilet paper and paper towels. They supplied only a few rolls life jackets were available for kayaks and the one there was ripped. None for children, had to ask The pond is a breeding ground for mosquitoes
This was everything I wanted and expected plus more. The house was amazing - only suggestion would be to powerwash the entry areas occasionally - they were fly-specked and looked really dirty. The inside was lovely. The kitchen beautifully stocked with every appliance and convenience you could ask for. There were only two dish towels and no dish rags which was solved by going to the local Dollar store and purchasing some ourselves. The only disappointment was the adjacent tidal pond which we had visited last year and really enjoyed. This year it was almost stagnant and covered in thick moss and reeds. We were unable/unwilling to try to crab from it. We did find another tidal pond down the beach to the north, however. All in all - we had a lovely time and the accomodations were wonderful. Thank you!
Wonderful Summer vacation house and location for multi family stay. Beautiful indoors and outdoors.
