About this property

Eastern Shore beach cottage get-away

Recently renovated, charming cottage. A sandy beach is right across the quiet street from the cottage. The sandy bottom goes way out in the shallow water--great for kids, playing and launching kayaks. The cottage looks west to the amazing sunsets. Mr./Ms. Blue Heron visits the beach regularly and the ospreys dive for breakfast for their babies. Watch the crabbing boats ply the waters offshore as you enjoy your morning coffee and the amazing sunsets in the evening from the living room, dining room, or lawn chairs.

Rock Hall, MD is a quaint fishing village on the upper Eastern Shore in Kent County. Rock Hall is on Southern Living's 2016 list of Best Small Town's of the South. Kent County is the least populated county in MD, so it is a true get-away. Only one blinking traffic light in Rock Hall. There are also many marinas (sailing and motor boats), about 8 at last count. A surprisingly wide choice of restaurants and entertainment (including live entertainment at the Mainstay & local restaurants) is available. Biking is great as the roads have wide, paved berms and wind throughout the rural, country-side. The Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge is a short drive away and provides wonderful bird-watching, or go crabbing on the docks and bridges on the way. Kayaking, fishing and boating opportunities abound. Chestertown, home of Washington College, with its many restaurants, shops and activities is 10 miles away.

The cottage will be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with VRBO guidance between each guest.

PLEASE NOTE: The " service fee" listed in the charges goes to VRBO/HomeAway, NOT to the owner. VRBO/HomeAway is also collecting it in the first payment request which you will receive.

Perfect location for watching the sunsets as the house is located right across the street from the beach. Also, an easy bike ride to restaurants and shops on Main St. The house is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend to other guests!

Fabulous Views
Being directly across the street from the beach was great. Having a nice shade tree in the front yard to offer a cooler location with the same great views was fabulous. People are very friendly in this town. Looking forward to staying here again.

Perfect Little Family Getaway
House was great, fully stocked, clean, can't beat the views. Beach right across the street with safe swimming for littles. Property Manager was not very helpful checking in but other than that, we had an excellent time and highly recommend.

Family vacation with little kids
We had a great stay here - the house was just as described and was clean and comfortable. The view couldn’t be beat, and it was SO convenient to be able to just walk the kids back and forth across the street to the beach. The beach is clean and the water was clean and a comfortable temperature; the kids were happy to swim for a long time, and with minimal waves it was the perfect calm environment for them. Diane was friendly and very communicative. We look forward to staying again!

Peace and Beauty at the Shore
This is our second time here. It's a cozy cottage with a million dollar view. Exceptionally clean, well decorated, we love it and our dog loves it. Everything is well thought out so all our needs are met. There isn't much in the off season, but that's what we like. No commercialism, but the grocery is great, a couple of restaurants, and Chestertown is a 15 minute drive.

Clean and cozy
Our stay at this clean and cozy cottage was very nice. We watched the waves from the comfy sofa, under a shade tree on the front lawn, and with our feet in the sand at the beach directly across the street. Everyone walking or riding bikes by us said hello - a very friendly neighborhood. Highly recommend!

Amazing vacation
This house was perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 small kids). The house was incredibly clean and in a cute neighborhood, great for taking walks (a really good restaurant is 2 blocks away). The town beach is right across the street - the water was shallow and gentle enough for the our little ones. The local restaurants were really good. We would definitely come back again!
