Location: Solomons Island, Maryland, USA (15 Min to Solomon Island & 45 Min Drive to DC)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-8)
Beautiful sunrises and panoramic bay views make this three-bedroom/two-bath (sleeps eight) beach house spectacular. It's located in Port Republic on Maryland's western shore, just 15 minutes from Solomon Island and 45 minutes from Washington, DC.
The area is rich in colonial history, as well as in fossils from the Miocene era. Enjoy miles of sandy shoreline, a 450-foot private pier, two-mile nature trail through deep woods, open recreational field, playground, and plenty of fabulous seafood restaurants.
This is a magical place. I'm not sure there are words to describe the charm of our warm and inviting home on the bay. The views from every room are simply breathtaking! You'll truly feel like you are on a ship overlooking a vast body of water. The view is constantly changing -- either due to weather, or by the large variety of boats and birds. The house itself has 'yesteryear' charm combined with today's modern conveniences. It has a wrap-around porch that now includes the kitchen where your views are simply magnificent.
Recently renovated, the home has two stunning stone fireplaces, and hardwood floors throughout, with exception to the porch, which is tiled. Enjoy an enclosed outdoor shower that has wonderful views of the bay. The front deck spans the entire length of the house. Imagine sipping wine or your morning coffee and watching the blue herons -- our local eagles -- and an assortment of other birds diving into the bay in search of their next feast.
Or watching the large variety of boats traveling the bay for commerce or pleasure. Or waking up in the morning to the sun rising over the bay, with spectacular colors that would inspire anyone to paint. Or spending countless hours fishing or crabbing off the 450-foot pier. Or walking the 3,000 feet of beach for fossils from the Miocene era. This is truly the place where special memories are made.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1981
My husband and I purchased this property in 1980. We are in a community called Governors Run that is reach in history. Where our pier exists, it was formerly one of the oldest warfs in Southern Maryland. It was formerly a turn of the century resort. A group of us purchased the entire 15 home resort, each owning our individual homes. We have successfully turned into one of the more magical and beautiful spots on the Chesapeake. One day, I will write a book about this great adventure.
