Location: Cambridge, Maryland, USA (Close to Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia - on the Chesapeake Bay)

Accommodations:  House, 8 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 6 Baths (Sleeps 22-26)

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. 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.

  • Our family gathered at this comfortable home for a 4-night stay during the first week of October. We (grandparents) wanted to locate somewhere "fun" for our 3 adult children and their young families. We came from different directions, meeting in the middle - which this house was. It proved to be the perfect spot. There was plenty of room for all and a crib awaited our new little first one month old granddaughter. We enjoyed the weather we had hoped for - daytime temp. 85-90, which made the pool very welcoming. Our sons and their boys loved fishing from the pier and the huge back yard provided a great area for boys games. All in all, we loved our stay there and would recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful getaway from busy everyday life.

  • wow! What a great house...everything well kept and clean. Ginger was so kind and efficient to deal with. The excellent bathrooms were a godsend with 6 teenagers. The 4 boys 8yr -12yrs want their respective daddies to buy the house so they can swim and fish every day for the rest of their lives.

  • Fishing Cove is a dream for a family reunion with a bunch of kids. We went crabbing, spent hours in the pool, used the grill most evenings and had the best family reunion the Leamers have ever had. Ginger Ramsey is a delight to deal with. The house is well kept up but there's a lived in feeling that I liked especially with seven kids. It's been well kid proofed and I wasn't terrified every moment of breaking something.

  • We recently celebrated our father's 90th birthday over a weekend at Fishing Cove, with 2 young children, and 14-18 adults each night. It was wonderful! Ginger Ramsey was helpful in every way and the house and swimming pool area was beautifully furnished and ready for our crowd. We would recommend this home to any group wanting a private, spacious, lovely place with a personal dock right on the river, and all of this close to Cambridge. Couldn't have been better!

  • I just returned(reluctantly) from a large family vacation at this lovely home. It was everything I'd hoped for and more. The setting and the solitude were exceptional. The little ones especially enjoyed the pool, while moms and dads enjoyed moonlit nights on the deck. The house is so spacious and comfortable. There is so much to do nearby that a week is hardly enough time. The sights and sounds of Fishing Cove will stay with us for a very long time. I highly recommend it.

  • Many thanks for such an enjoyable vacation at Fishing Cove. 16 of us experienced this special place, which not only has a lovely pool but also a dock for our 30' boat that enabled us to enjoy the Chesapeake Bay as well. The Ramseys are wonderful hosts and we hope to have the chance to return soon.

  • Fishing Cove is the ultimate family and friends getaway! We've had so much fun taking it easy in Cambridge. It's relaxing, but has plenty of fun-for-everyone activities for when you've recharged. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Great memories are made at Fishing Cove! We'll be back!

  • The best and most relaxing week we could ask for in a summer retreat (2004). Ten of us enjoyed this beautiful home, with lazy days by the pool, and outdoor dinners on the deck. The home is very spacious and we were able to spread out in different corners and enjoy some private time, or all crowd around in the living area to play games. We brought our boat and went water-tubing and fishing almost every day. We enjoyed spotting Bald Eagles at the Blackwater Refuge, and we took a day trip to Ocean City (about 50 minutes away)to feel the sand in our toes. The home is clean and comfortable, and our two cocker spaniels loved running in the wide-open and private yard. We are planning on renting this home again for another memorable reunion!!
