Private sandy beach offers great kayaking, windsurfing and sunsets!
Location: St. Michaels, Maryland, USA (Chesapeake Bay Region)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Den, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10)
Sandy Pines, with its own sandy beach, dock, and swimming pool, offers a peaceful retreat within the quiet natural beauty of the Chesapeake Bay region. The very private home, sited on broad navigable Harris Creek, enjoys stunning sunset views across the Chesapeake tributary, and is fully-equipped and furnished for a comfortable and restful family vacation.
Sandy Pines features four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms. One of the bedrooms and baths is situated in a separate wing of the house, so that families can offer guests or relatives some privacy. Two families can comfortably share the home with comfort. The home features a screened-in porch, a renovated kitchen, a spacious dining room with water views, a living room, and a stunning high volume Bay room with views across Harris Creek. A player piano with 100 scores makes for an added musical treat at the shore!
The home is on three acres tucked against a quiet cove, which allows for great kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and crabbing. A pine grove along the shoreline is a shady retreat with hammocks and furnishings to watch sunsets. The dock, with 2 ft MLW, offers pilings for tying up a small boat.
The sandy beach allows for finding sea treasures, building sand castles, and setting up a beach chair for reading and wiggling your toes in the sand. Your mornings will be filled with the sounds of waterfowl, and you will observe the bounty of Chesapeake wildlife during your stay. Heron, swan, and eagles all visit the area with regularity.
Sandy Pines is less than a two-hour drive from Washington, DC and three hours from Philadelphia and is located in the village of Bozman, five miles from St. Michaels, Maryland. You can walk to the Audubon preserve, just up the street, as well as into the fishing village of Neavitt. St. Michaels, Maryland and nearby Oxford, Easton, and Tilghman Island offer great cultural attractions, museums, antiques, artisans to make your stay complete.

Alas, our visit to Sandy Pines has come and gone. Can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed: Kayaking at sunset while sharing the calm waters with herons and swans... morning coffee in the adirondack chairs at the waterfront... the kids splashing around in the pool for hours on end... dozing under the pines in the hammocks... relaxing and soaking up the view from the bay room... it was all just perfect. You have a little slice of heaven over there, and we hope we'll be able to enjoy it again. Thanks for making such a wonderful place available to us. All our best wishes!
