About this property

Bright and airy waterfront getaway

Mermaids Foley has received some upgrades including a full kitchen with full size stove and refrigerator so you can come for a visit at the river and never have to go out to eat. My favorite feature of this home is that there is an enclosed porch on the front and has new sliding glass doors that open to the river so you have an amazing view and the wonderful breeze. Whether you want to open them all and enjoy the summer breeze or you want to watch the rain while being outside and staying dry. We love to watch sunrise and sunset on many occasions since its on a peninsula we often can watch them both.
Many people come to our property just to relax and getaway from it all. It's always fun to watch the Osprey babies learn to fly and fish or the geese learning to swim. There is also "Big Blue" one of our resident great blue herrings that have their babies here in the spring. Others come to the area to visit Calvert Cliffs to hunt for a great Megalodon sharks tooth. While others come to enjoy or compete in the races at Budds Creek Raceway. Others are visiting for an event at one of the wineries that are nearby. There are many wonderful places to visit in Southern Maryland and tons of waterways to explore. We are also within one hour of the nations capital and the many many events and museums to enjoy there while coming back to relax on the water when you're done.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The host was very responsive and answered all my questions promptly. The house was spotless, and was exactly as noted in the listing. It had all the amenities we needed. We loved the small beach. We spent a long time sitting with our feet in the river, watching the choppy water, just enjoying the peace and quiet.

Quiet, peaceful, getaway

Was looking for a low-key spot to enjoy the water with a couple of friends and we got exactly what we wanted. Was able to enjoy beautiful views of the water, got lots of sun but also was able to sit in the shade if needed. Seems very kid friendly so hope to be back with mine!

Owner very responsive and helpful, great place to get away

Check in was easy. Owner was very responsive to messages and very helpful. We enjoyed being right on the water and fishing from the pier, as well going out in the kayaks to enjoy the beautiful setting. I highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again next June on our trip back to Maryland.

Spring Break getaway

Though the house is small, it was perfect for our stay. It was clean, right on the water, and had a beautiful view. The owner gave clear instructions on how to get to the house and it was easy to communicate with her. We would love to return here sometime as we didn't find enough time to use our kayaks from the property. It's about 40 minutes from Mallows Bay, a very interesting kayaking experience with over 100 submerged vessels from the WWI era.

nice view

verbo sent us to wrong address . the lady who owned that place went way beyond what she needed to and contacted our renter . The place we rented got in touch with us and gave us new directions. We really liked the place and it had water front view. the renter was very nice . verbo screwed this up and cost us time and money gave us a small refund.

Relaxing riverfront vacation

A beautiful location on the Patuxent river! Excellent view, and very quiet, with a dock within walking distance for fishing, and a 20 minute drive to many fine restaurants and beaches. Our host, Sophia, was friendly and accommodating. We plan to stay again in the future!

We stayed for seven days. It was uncomfortable to only have two forks two spoons. We had to wash every time we ate. It felt like the space had been sitting a while. There were lots of spiderwebs. The fans had a coat of dust on them. That was sickening. This is my first negative review ever! I appreciated the beautiful Patuxent river and the quick response and communication with the owner. We feel like we just didn’t get the most bang for our buck. It was a splurge for us in an expensive room and unfortunately we expected more.

Serene gem

This is a special piece of property. The home is humble but accommodating and the land is so quiet and very private. I did not have a full understanding of how sweet its location was until we got there. It is literally right on the water and there is a ton of room to explore. What we were looking for was a place for our family to settle into and not necessarily go anywhere. This was a great fit; though, we did end up doing some side trips which were easily accessed as well. We certainly hope to come visit again!!

The view from the sunroom is priceless!

Overall we have a very nice experience. The house was clean and perfect for my family. And we really appreciated the view from the back porch / sunroom. We spent a lot of time sitting in the sunroom with a book, the view at sunrise and moonrise time was priceless. I rented a fishing rod from the owner and spent a lot of time on the dock. The owner Sophia was very nice and responsive. I enjoyed talking to her, and learned a lot about the past history of Benedict, and Chesapeake watershed erosion. The kitchen was kind of small. but good enough if you want to cook some simple meals. And the location was great! The house sits on a tip of peninsula and far away from the other residences, but with a lot of restaurants within 15 minutes driving distance. We were absolutely thrilled with our vacation and would come back again

Private Pax River Oasis! Local Favorite…

Ideal Pax River location! Although we own waterfront property on the Pax River further south, we rented both units at Endeavor Point for our WEDDING NIGHT. That’s how special this place truly is. It was the perfect location to host a few friends after our wedding reception to sit around the fire on the banks of the river, play some acoustic guitar, and enjoy nature. The scene was idyllic. 5 out of 5 stars. Would choose Endeavor Point over any hotel…and we did! Opted not to stay at the Gaylord or any other local branded hotel. From booking thru checkout the owners were extremely responsive, flexible, and welcoming. Within one conversation Sophia felt like a friend. Both my husband and I were able to view the property in advance to make the appropriate day-of arrangements. Better than the pictures. The property is large, impeccably clean house is only feet from the private beach, enclosed porch is perfect for enjoying the view even if the weather isn’t cooperative, there’s free use of the pier, and the special touches throughout (like twinkling lights in the trees) make you feel like you just stepped onto a movie set. The expansive south-facing river view is ideal. Short drive into Prince Frederick for all the amenities, but you feel like you’re on a private island. Hidden gem. Privacy is always key for us and the owners, although close to accommodate your needs, are respectful. We will be back to celebrate anniversaries. Maybe even bring our kids. Perfect getaway whether you’re a local or from out-of-town. Price can’t be beat compared to other similarly-situated properties. Such a beautiful memory for my husband, our family, friends, and me…

Un lugar muy bonito y acogedor para disfrutar con la familia y amigos hay donde nadar, pescar, hacer fogata y disfrutar del hermoso paisaje. Comentario constructivo: la refrigeradora y cocina muy pequeña y sería bueno que no hubiera carpeta sino madera en el piso.

About the host

Hosted by Sophia Pappas

Host profile image
I love to open my property to the public to give people a place to getaway from the daily grind and get back to nature and peace all while being a short drive from DC. I love to meet all the interesting people that come to visit and to hear their stories of what brought them here. This is a new property for me and I absolutely love living in such a magical place.

Why they chose this property

Quiet, peaceful, and in nature. While staying here you may see Bald Eagles, Falcons, Osprey, many kinds of ducks, and baby geese if you come during the right season. We have kayaks, and SUP available for rent to enjoy the two creeks nearby or the Patuxent River that all come together here on the peninsula.

What makes this property unique

One of the most unique things here is that because we are on a peninsula when the sun is rising you can also watch the moon and stars behind you and when the sun is setting you often aren't sure where because you are surrounded by a sunset. During the most recent eclipse I watched the moon eclipse and stars while also watching the amazing sunrise...it was truly surreal.
