Marabheag: Chesapeake Bay Beauty + Pier & Beach

This place was fantastic! I'm almost afraid to leave a good review for fear it will be too booked for us to return. The property is gorgeous, with a nearby beach and amazing views of the water. My wife loved that the decor was not the usual cheesy nautical-themed stuff you see at many properties like these, but very tasteful. The rooms are lovely, with deck access on the 2nd floor bedroom, and the shower even has a steam sauna feature (which was nice on a cold morning). We enjoyed the fireplace (real, not gas) as well. We look forward to returning during the warm months with some friends because it would be perfect for a weekend away with friends or family.

Point Lookout is very close, easily bike-able, and a must-see.

All in all, an absolute pleasure. We will definitely be back.

The house is good; simply and tastefully furnished with nice towels and linens. The big water views are from the open plan living room/kitchen, the dining room (which is more like a Florida room) and one of the bedrooms. The kitchen could do with a bit more counter space, but we managed.

There is a wide, flat lawn bordered by tall pine trees which leads to the dock. The sand and shell beach is short walk up the road. We were there during a particularly cold snap (the sea was freezing on the piers) and had a roaring log fire every night in the cozy TV area. We took our own Chrome dongle and streamed movies during the evenings - the internet was fast enough for that. The Scotland Yards staff were friendly, helpful and responded quickly to any requests we had.

The location is very quiet; so much so that my ears felt empty for the first few days. Plenty of long bracing walks along the deserted beaches and the trails of Point Look Out. Oh - did I mention we saw a bald eagle sitting on a nest by one of the docks. That was pretty cool.

Chesapeake Bay in all it's glory. Comfy beds, nicely appointed decoration throughout the house.

My husband and I stayed at this home for a little R and R. We both work hard and needed peace and quiet. What a fabulous choice! It was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful water views. Energizing breezes. Everything we needed for our time away. We would definitely return! We are very thankful for our chance to regroup at such a beautiful and relaxing place. The interior was bright and airy. Plenty of outdoor sitting space. Loved the upstairs balcony! We wouldn't change a thing.

Spacious, private, quiet, and beautiful. We love this spot and will definitely be back!
