About this property

Amazing Waterfront Retreat On The Chesapeake Bay Private Pool Private Beach

From the hosts that have maintained a five star ratings on our cottage vacation rental, we would like to invite you to enjoy a special vacation in our four bedroom 3 full bath luxury estate home in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay.

The house has just undergone a complete remodeling and redecorating and boasts two indoor fireplaces and one outdoor fireplace with scenic views of the Choptank River from every room in the house. .
* The 20 x 40 river room offers expansive views of the river along with a big screen TV. Our gourmet kitchen will offer chefs everything your heart desires in preparing a meal. There are speakers throughout the downstairs with separate volume controls in all rooms so that guests can adjust the volume to their liking. Our 800 square foot patio located off the kitchen offers more panoramic views of the river and an outdoor fireplace perfect for s'mores or late night family storytelling. If steamed crabs is on the menu we can arrange for crabs to be delivered to the dock and from there to your professional steaming pot!

If your vacation week is timed near a full moon enjoy a beach bonfire at the waters edge as the moon rises before you and projects a moonbeam.
Upstairs balconies allow for private sunbathing.
For those that like to hit the road for an early morning jog or bike ride; the location offers a safe and quiet area due to our location at the end of a point of land.
The house will accommodate up to twelve guests. If more space is needed guests can enjoy another bedroom, living room, 1 and ½ baths and full kitchen available in our cottage.
*see property 2779616 for cottage info and rates.

Vacation time with family and landscapers
We have enjoyed our stay at the property, everything was very nice and spacious away from everything, just the way we wanted. Our only issue was the landscaping work being done for 2 days of our stay, my son has allergies on cut grass and he ended up staying indoor for the most of those days.

Enjoyable Week
The home and property were as shown on the VRBO site. Everything was in good working order and we had no challenges during our week. The host was readily available and checked in occasionally to make sure all was well. Great area and much less congested with tourists than some other Maryland sites.

peaceful retreat
the location on the bay was peaceful and the 25 acres was great for roaming and for our border collie to play. The salt water pool was a huge plus especially this summer. Dave and Cyndie were kind and very helpful. Everyone enjoyed the stay. Inside temperature perfect, and that was no small thing this year

Incredible Vacation on the Chapank River!
Beautiful property overlooking the Chapank River with boat access to Downtown Cambridge and Oxford for restaurants, ice cream and cruising. Dave and Cindy were perfect hosts, and were there for anything you need. The pool was great for the kids and relaxation, while looking out over the river.

Beautiful Place!
I went with 6 of my family members for the Ironman and we had a great time. Great communication with the property owners and we loved getting to pet Lucky (the cat) who wandered around. The house (mostly the stairwell and upstairs where the bedrooms were) does smell of cigarette smoke, so if you're extra sensitive to smells you would probably want somewhere else, but it wasn't super strong and we adjusted. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms spacious. The views of the river for the sunrise was amazing too!

Why they chose this property

The Eastern Shore is one of Maryland's best kept secrets. Just sixty minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Washington and Baltimore to your private vacation located a few miles outside of the city limits of downtown Cambridge, 'The Jewel of the Eastern Shore'. Come by land, sea,or fly in to our local airport. Bring your boat, bring your horse, bring your golf clubs, and prepare yourself for a weekend or week of fun and relaxation.
This completely renovated 3600 square foot home located on a private 27 acre estate is nestled a mere 200 feet from the banks of the Choptank River. Whether you have had a full day of shopping and antiquing in nearby Easton, Oxford, or St. Michaels or are tired from a day of golf at the country club less than two miles from the home, or just lazing away the day on your private secluded beach; the sounds of the river lapping on the shoreline will gently massage your worries away as you sleep.
This century old estate offers our guests exclusive privacy unlike your typical beachgoers. Plan however to have plenty of visitors during your stay. Horns Point is abundant with wildlife. Families of deer tend to the fallen fruits in our orchard, while restless squirrels scurry collecting nuts for their long winters nap. The American bald eagles fly high above their osprey relatives, all looking for a snack to feed their brood. Venture out for an early morning walk or run on this deserted dead end back road and you may run into our masked neighbors as they make their way back to their daytime burrow or amazed by the aerobatic maneuvers of the flying Delmarva fox squirrels, or follow the rattata sound until you reach the location of a pileated woodpecker. Every morning you can witness the aerobatic maneuvers of our duck squadron as they do an early morning flyby, or the ballet performance of a flock of Canadian geese or Great Blue Herons.

What makes this property unique

The large stately trees on this property initially captivated us and then it was the privacy, broad water vistas, gorgeous moon beam rises and wonderful sunrises. The sunsets are also beautiful as the opposite shoreline glows with the setting sun. If you can schedule visits around a full moon then you will never ask what Van Morrison's song "What A Wonderful Night For A Moon Dance" was ever about! As the day begins the expansive river views you will witness from sunrise to sunset is like a constantly changing watercolor painting from every view in the house. Constant changing colors of the skyline and river populate my the Eastern Shores abundance of wildlife.
