Fishing Cove is a fully-furnished eight-bedroom six-bath private waterfront family-friendly house tucked away in a lush pine forest. Our waterfront vacation home is on a very private cove with 2 acres of waterfront property and a large private dock and 3 boat slips. Easy access by car, or by boat from the Chesapeake Bay.

Drink your morning coffee on our 12' x 72' deck watching the birds and deer. Fish and crab from our pier. Swim in our pool. Our large welcoming house has everythingyou need for a relaxed vacation on the Eastern Shore, including accessibility features - electric wheelchair lift, ramps and wide main floor doors.

Located on Fishing Creek off the Little Choptank 9 miles from Cambridge, Maryland, we are near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and our shoreline attracts an amazing variety of waterfowl. We have great bicycling roads: Flat and scenic, so bring your bikes. Bring your canoe and explore the shoreline. The house is wonderful any time of the year!

During the summer we generally rent by the week only - from Saturday to Saturday, so if the calendar seems confusing, just click on the Saturday you want to begin your stay, and it will automatically offer you a full week. You can always contact the owner if you need different dates that you can't click on.

All new mattresses, new super-fast Fiber Optic WiFi, new geothermal heating and air conditioning system, new paint inside and out, and much more!

Sorry, we cannot accommodate weddings, wedding receptions or large group events.

    What a wonderful property for big families. We had family members from four states, ranging in age from 3-93, for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was well equipped. We had everything we needed to make four pies, a 22-pound turkey and all the fixings.Our host was pleasant and easy to work with. Very quick communications and so accommodating.I have rented many VRBO a homes, and after my experiences I come to appreciate a well-organized, professional host. We highly recommend this place.

    This was an absolutely perfect option for celebrating my mom’s birthday. She and my dad are older and have accessibility needs, so having first floor living and bedrooms, plus an elevator up to the main floor from the driveway, made this trip possible. The location is stunning, with a view of the water from most of the house, gorgeous forest providing privacy, and everything was clean and very well maintained. Our dog was incredibly happy to explore the yard and dock, and we were grateful to be able to bring her along. The host was attentive and quickly responded to any questions (we couldn’t find the elevator key when we first arrived, and she helped us within a matter of minutes!) We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with either older family members or a larger gathering (we had a smaller group but easily could have fit twice as many guests!) Thanks so much for such a wonderful experience.

    The perfect house for my extended family to cheer on our daughter who was competing in the Ironman Maryland in Cambridge, MD. The host was gracious and very responsive.

    The location and the house were ideal for our visit. Since it was overcast and somewhat chilly, we did not use the pool. The view from porch was greatThanks to the host fir making our visit memorable

    We loved our stay in Cambridge! Such a peaceful, quiet location but also convenient to town. My kids lived in the pool, and I’d recommend little water shoes as the lining is textured and chewed up their feet a bit. The house is tidy, but lived in, which is perfect for us as we travel with 6 kids 8 and under. We started and ended each day at the dock, which is secluded from the bustle of boats and incredibly quiet and serene. Overall, it was a great week. Check in was easy, no issues with the WiFi, easy trash removal, and very simple check out instructions. It’s also worth noting (because I’m not sure it’s in the description), there are several cots tucked into a few of the bedroom closets, making sharing rooms with littles incredibly easy. On another note, the description states there is a high chair, so we didn’t pack one, and we were never able to track it down, so be sure to bring one if you have smaller kiddos!

    The only negative thing I can say about this house, and unfortunately it is kind of a big deal, is that the VRBO listing very clearly says that this house has a hot tub.This house does not have a hot tub. This house has never had a hot tub, and the owner does not know why VRBO says the house has a hot tub.Anyway, once we found out, it was too late to switch bookings and we made the best of the house. It is a great house! But, weirdly, we had to scroll through 4 years of VRBO reviews from guests to find any mention of the hot tub expectation - we found one from 2020.Thanks,Noel

    We were a group of siblings and some children celebrating Thanksgiving together in this lovely and well kept home. The communication with Virginia was great. She was very receptive of our needs. The rooms were very spacious. The house clean and well equipped. We would love to return during warm days to be able to enjoy the pool, fishing in the backyard and more walks. We recommend this home!

    Had a wonderful three days at Fishing Cove. The house was very well appointed, clean and perfect for our group of 14 high school friends celebrating our 77th birthday year. Beautiful sunrise over the water.

    Overall the property fit our needs. Although, the floors and ceiling areas (baseboards, vents, returns, fans in bath rooms) were not clean.

    We enjoyed the property, but wished there was more to do in area. I found the yellow sheets in a suitcase. Some one was playing a trick on me. Sorry. My husband said the air conditioning filter should be changed for better efficiency

    Our family group of age 3 to 75 had a wonderful time at the house. Everything was just as described in the listing. Everyone especially enjoyed the pool and deck area. The beds were comfortable and it was fabulous to have 6 bathrooms for our group. The only issue we had was the bugs. Be sure to bring your insect repellant!

    We enjoyed our stay at Fishing Cove, everyone enjoyed the pool. The pool was well taken care of. Location was very peaceful and quiet. Bedrooms were spacious and located apart from each other. We enjoyed sitting outside on the big deck with awning to block midday sun.
