About the host

Hosted by Julia

Host profile image
I am a Covid 19 retired Pediatric ER physician living my second career. I love the water and have spent many miles sailing in the Bay and all over the world. My daughter and grandsons live in Easton, MD. I am trying to leave them with at least a little legacy and not burden them in my old age. So I am creating equity by renting out my home and this vacation home when I’m not there. I have to admit it was a fun creative project to renovate this boat and I love sharing it with my guests.

Why they chose this property

This houseboat is a place to just sit back and relax and let the marine life come to you. It is also close to Annapolis, MD and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

It has been decorated to reflect the uniqueness of the Mid and Eastern Shore of Maryland. I like to call it Nautical Farmhouse. The marina has many fishing charter boats and a water front restaurant. It also has its own private beach.
