Hosted by Ginny knopf
We are from a small town outside Annapolis Maryland called Riva. We live on the South River. We have 3 grown children all married with 8 grandkids under the age of 5...very lucky! Ginny is a retired teacher from Montgomery County Public Schools and Bob is a real estate developer in Washington DC. We love to spend our time on the water especially enjoying the views. We also have a home in St. Maarten... vrbo153811...take a look!
Why they chose this property
We have owned Wavewatch Inn for 20 summers. We fell in love with this beach town the minute we came across the swing bridge. It was like stepping back 50 years to the beaches when we were kids.Where can you walk the beach and be greeted by other beach goers, shell collectors and dog walkers with a smile and a kind hello? No more rushing out to claim your space with your chair and towel!!!You can use your boogie board, play beach games or play in the sand with no one watching over you but the surf and seagulls.There is really no beach like this with the southern charm and the simplicity of just enjoying the ocean and the beach with your family or friends! We hope you love it as much as we do !
What makes this property unique
Ocean temperature is always so warm!! The ocean is blue almost tropical and the views from Wavewatch Inn are magical! Its a great place to fish and watch for the dolphins!!
