Location: Cambridge, Maryland, USA (Close to Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia - on the Chesapeake Bay)
Accommodations: House, 8 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 6 Baths (Sleeps 22)
We have an 8 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath waterfront house tucked away in a lush pine forest that we rent on a monthly, weekly or weekend basis. With upstairs and downstairs living/sitting rooms, it is perfect for multi-generational family vacations and reunions with plenty of room for everyone yet with enough private space for quiet time. The house is equipped with accessibility features, including an electric wheelchair lift, ramps and wide main floor doors. Broadband, WiFi and a computer are provided to keep you connected.
Fishing Cove, our waterfront vacation rental home on Maryland's Eastern Shore, is on a very private cove with its own swimming pool, outdoor shower, and dock for 3 boats. Easy access by car, or by boat from the Chesapeake Bay. Perfect for family reunions, corporate retreats, business meetings or seminars, vacations or just a relaxing time.
Six of the bedrooms face the water so you can wake up, open your eyes and watch the geese, swans and ducks landing on the water without even getting out of bed. Drink your morning coffee on our 12' x 72' deck watching the birds, rabbits and other wildlife. Fish, crab or boat from our pier. Take a dip in the 16 x 28' pool. Our large welcoming house has everything you need for a relaxed vacation on the Eastern Shore.
Located on Fishing Creek off the Little Choptank 6 miles from Cambridge, Maryland, Fishing Cove is near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and our shoreline attracts an amazing variety of waterfowl. We even have our own resident white herons, blue herons and ospreys.
We have great bicycling roads: Flat and scenic. Bring your bikes! And your binoculars to see the bald eagles, herons, ospreys and other birds! Bring your boat or canoe to explore the shoreline!
Ask about our Winter Weekend Rates to see the arriving Canada Geese! Fall and winter are wonderful times to enjoy the migrating waterfowl and for spending cozy evenings by the wood stove.
The house is wonderful and welcoming at any time of year.

Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Cambridge
We bought this house because of its PERFECT location. It is only 60 miles from our home in Annapolis so we can get there easily, going from the hustle of city life to perfect peace in an hour's drive. It started out as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that we enlarged and improved to fit the needs of our own large extended family. Then we decided to offer it to other large families for their vacations so they can enjoy it too!
The Unique Benefits of this House
Fishing Cove is totally peaceful, private and in a beautiful area. There is room for everyone to get together and also room for private space without being disturbed. It is perfect gathering place for our family and friends to come and totally relax. We love to bicycle at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. We also love to come by boat. Our adult children and grandchildren love the water activities, boating, fishing, crabbing, and look forward to their frequent visits.
