This is the best VRBO property that I have ever stayed in! The house is immaculate, inviting, and beautiful, inside and out. Tuckaway Cove has anything and everything you will need or want for your stay!

Sunrise, sunshine, sunset…repeat. If you are looking for a quiet relaxing place to vacation with family and/or friends, look no further.

Tuckaway Cove is tucked away on 3 acres on a cove just off the Miles River. Conveniently located between St Michaels and Easton, with all that small quaint Eastern Shore Maryland towns have to offer. Love St Michaels? Spend the day shopping the local businesses and enjoy Ava’s brick oven pizza and a glass of wine or fresh Mex and margaritas at Gina’s. Later enjoy the sunset with fresh seafood at either the Crab Claw or Foxy's Harbor Grille, located right on the water in the harbor. Interested in Easton? Try Doc’s for great food and drinks in the pub like atmosphere or The Washington St Pub for an even more casual, relaxing atmosphere. Be sure to check out Storm and Daughters for their amazing variety of delicious ice cream flavors! If you are a coffee lover, do not miss Rise Up Coffee in Easton. They also have a drive up location on the road to St Michaels in the Graul’s Grocery parking lot. We also provide a limited supply of their wonderful coffee for you to taste in our freezer. There are many wonderful upscale restaurants in both towns as well and so much to see and do. We have many more recommendations in our house book, from museums to farmers’s markets to water sports. There are many options for dinner, shopping, exhibits, festivals, etc. Grocery stores are abundant and close. This area has so much to offer!

Tuckaway Cove is so quiet and relaxing all year round that you may not want to leave the spacious home and 3 acre property. Relax by the large pool, enjoy the abundant nature from the dock or take one of our 4 kayaks for a paddle out through the cove to the Miles River. You will enjoy eagles, osprey and blue herons right on our property. Take a stroll through our quiet neighborhood with very little traffic to dodge. Enjoy the big beautiful trees that are abundant in our small community. We also have 2 crab traps to try your hand at crabbing. If you are successful the grill has a large side burner to cook them with some Old Bay and vinegar, which we stock in our pantry. Then enjoy a crab feast on the patio in the shade of the large trees or under the patio umbrella. Bring your fishing poles and try your luck at catching some amazing Chesapeake Rockfish as well.

The house is stocked with games for all ages, kids DVDs and books as well as a paperback book “lending library”. Hopefully one of the books will interest you for some summer reading.

We have Wifi throughout the house and an Alexa for your listening pleasure. The family room has a large smart TV with all of the popular apps. The playroom on the 2nd floor has a large flat screen TV with an Amazon Fire Stick and a DVD player. Please note that the rural nature of the area may limit Wifi at times, especially if several devices are connected at the same time.


Our home will provide you with adequate space for eight adults or any other combination of adults and children (under 18 months not counted toward total) totaling eight guests. There is a first floor master with a king bed and an attached bathroom with a tiled shower. This bath is also accessible from the laundry area for use by other guests. A first aid kit is located in the closet of this bathroom. The laundry room has an extra capacity, stacked washer and dryer. The first floor also has a large family room, dining room with a large farm table that seats 8 - 10 and a casual seating area. The kitchen is well stocked, including a pantry with many of the things you may need for cooking and baking (spices, sugar, flour, olive oil, vinegar, etc) to save you a lot of trips to the store. There is dish and dishwasher detergent, plastic wrap, tin foil and baggies. There are modern stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator/freezer, glass top range, microwave and dishwasher. We have provided plastic plates, bowls, utensils and drinking cups/wine glasses as well as paper plates, napkins and cups for little ones or eating outside by the pool. The dinette area attached to the kitchen has seating for 8 and is a great gathering place.

The 2nd floor contains the remaining 3 bedrooms including a large master with a king bed and an attached private bath with a large tiled shower. The 3rd bedroom has a queen bed and is located right next to the hall bathroom that has a tub/shower combination. A 4th bedroom has 2 twin beds that are sized for adults, but great for kids as well. It is located across the hall from the bathroom. There is plenty of closet and drawer space in all of the bedrooms for you to be able to unpack and unwind! Each bedroom has a “peg” rack to hang wet towels or bathing suits. As previously mentioned there is a playroom/pass though room that has toys, games, books, DVDs and a small TV and DVD player. There is also a futon for relaxing on while watching TV.

A portable crib (with sheets) is available upon request as well as a portable highchair and booster seats.

All bath towels and bed linens are provided and the beds will be made when you arrive. Each shower has dispensers filled with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is a hairdryer in each bathroom as well. We have provided a limited supply of paper towels and toilet paper to get you started.

A second refrigerator/freezer is available for use in the detached garage. There is often a bag of ice in there just in case the ice maker in the kitchen refrigerator cannot keep up!

Dock Information: 75' dock with water and electric; 1’ MLW

New for 2022 season...we've added a floating dock to allow for easier kayak access. Simply take the kayak down to the dock and enter it using the metal handle fixed to the dock.

Water Toys Included: 4 Kayaks, paddles and adult life vests. To ensure proper sizing for your group, please bring your own life jackets, or we can recommend a rental agency.

This property has a basketball hoop.  Bring your own basketball. There is an toddler swing and a web disc swing. Yard games include Bocci Ball, Badminton and Ladder Ball. Frisbies and some pool toys provided.

We have tried to think of everything to make your vacation an enjoyable one!
Here is just one of the positive review from a recent guest “We enjoyed every minute in this perfectly located and thoughtfully appointed home. The views are gorgeous, location peaceful, and it's close to everything, and the house has so many thoughtful, stylish choices. We loved the kayaks and pool especially. Just an idyllic getaway!”


Check in and check out is a breeze with our smart lock technology. No need for a key, the code will be provided prior to check in.

During the summer season there are regularly scheduled maintenance people for the lawn and pool. They must not be denied access to the property. We make every effort to let you know when to expect them. Trash pick up may also occur during your stay and you will be asked to bag and place all trash in the provided receptacles.

Please note that we have a Ring doorbell that is "on" at all times but not closely monitored during guest stays. We also have a security camera for pool and dock views, but it is also not closely monitored unless there is a concern for safety or violation of occupancy laws.

This is a very comfortable house with a nice grill and pool. We were surprised there were no pool towels, but otherwise we had everything we needed.

Marvelous
Our stay at Tuckaway Cove was perfect. The location is great, the house had everything one could want including a very well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the pool, kayaked in the cove, played games in the big yard. We will definitely be coming back.

Fabulous house for family vacation in St. Michael’s!
Tuckaway Cove is a beautiful and spacious home, set back from the street and overlooking the Miles River. It’s even prettier in person than it is online! Annette was a super friendly host, who was always willing to answer my questions. We couldn’t have picked a nicer place to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. We were joined by our adult daughters and their husbands and our young grandsons. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. Our grandsons loved their room with bunk beds and the adjoining play room. We spent many hours relaxing on the screened in porch. The property includes a lovely pool overlooking the Miles River. Our children enjoyed using the kayaks. The houses is conveniently located 2 miles from Easton and 3 miles from St. Michael’s on a very large private lot. The house was extremely clean and nicely decorated with Chesapeake and nautical decor. Thanks for a great stay! We hope to return for another visit again soon!

Beautiful Home and Setting
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Tuckaway Cove. The house is spacious and comfortable; the pool was fun for all ages; the screened porch was a delight; and Annette was a very attentive and gracious host. We would highly recommend this listing.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Miller

Host profile image
My husband and I fell in love with St Michaels and Easton many years ago when our sons sent us to the Inn at Perry Cabin to celebrate our wedding anniversary. That trip began a tradition of vacationing as a family in rental homes in the area. One summer, as we floated in the pool of our rental home, in a neighborhood that we had fallen in love with, we decided that the time was right to pursue our dream of owning a home here. Little did we know that we would end up purchasing an older home, in that very neighborhood, several months later. The home needed a lot of work after being vacant for over nine years and we were excited about the challenge. We spent every weekend for months working on the house and loving it back to life. We have tried to provide all the comforts of home as well as the things that we appreciate and enjoy when we vacation.

I work full-time as an RN Case Manager with The ALS Assoc. of Greater Philadelphia at the ALS Clinic at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, where we see over 200 patients that are living with ALS. I feel so blessed to be able to help the patients and their families and caregivers live their lives to the fullest, despite dealing with a terminal illness for which there is currently no cure and very few treatments.

I am married to Dale, who is a regional sales and marketing manager in an agricultural business. He covers a large territory and often travels for his job. He knows the value of hard work having been raised on a dairy farm in Lancaster County, and thoroughly enjoys maintaining our properties.

We live fulltime on a hobby farm in PA with a small menagerie of animals (horses, goats chickens and a miniature donkey). We have six young grandchildren and love any time spent with family. We treasure our yearly vacation time together, often at Tuckaway Cove.

This is our happy place, a place we hope to retire to some day. Until then, it gives us great joy to share it with others and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The location was perfect for us...private but close to so much!

What makes this property unique

Quiet and private on 3 acres with everything needed for a family getaway but close to everything you need or want. It's perfect!
