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

    This was by far our very best experience renting a house. Not only was the spacious and welcoming home clean and comfortable, it also had gorgeous views of the Bay. Our host provided us with friendly and timely communications, and was considerate enough to let us check out a little later on our last day. She certainly went above and beyond to make sure our family getaway was enjoyable and that we had everything we needed. As for the location/neighborhood, it was absolutely enchanting. My kids and husband loved combing the beach for teeth and fossils-- and we found some pretty good ones! Also loved that we got to bring our dogs along. We plan to head back for another stay in the near future!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this property and really couldn’t ask for much more. It was clean and spacious, with all of the amenities you could need for a retreat on the bay. Easy beach access for fossil hunting. The clothes washer and dryer were on the first floor for easy access (not in a damp basement!). We would definitely stay again. Wish we could have stayed for longer this time.

    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.

    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!

    Location was perfect for what we needed (quiet, on the beach, great views). Family & pup will definitely be back! We wished we could have stayed longer. Owner communication was wonderful, we never needed anything but knew we could reach out if we did. Very comfortable experience throughout.

    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.

    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.
