Waterfront living at its best on Irish Creek! Nestled along the peaceful shores of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Loon Cottage offers the rare combination of a private deep-water dock, a private tennis court, and expansive waterfront grounds designed for relaxing coastal living.
Set on a large private estate in Royal Oak, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront cottage blends classic Eastern Shore character with comfortable coastal style. Inside, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, abundant natural light, and inviting gathering spaces create a warm and airy atmosphere perfect for reconnecting with family and friends after a day on the water.
The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly into cozy sitting spaces, while large windows frame serene creek views throughout the home. Whether you’re enjoying morning coffee indoors or winding down beside the firepit in the evening, the cottage is designed to make every moment feel relaxed and effortless.
Outside, the property truly shines. Spend your days boating, kayaking, crabbing, or fishing from the private deep-water dock, or simply soak in the peaceful waterfront setting. Gather around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs for sunset cocktails as bald eagles soar overhead and the creek glows in the evening light. The expansive waterfront views and outdoor entertaining areas create the perfect backdrop for family gatherings, al fresco dinners, and quiet afternoons by the water. For guests seeking both relaxation and convenience, Loon Cottage feels wonderfully secluded while remaining just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and charm of St. Michaels and Easton.
