About this property

Summerlee at Scotland Yards

Allow the summer to entice and beguile you.
Meaning ‘summer wanderer’ in Gaelic, this villa-styled chateau holds a vibrant life in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay, tucked away in outlying Scotland, Maryland.
Recline in one of the glamorous sunrooms, where the sliding balcony doors open and welcome in the fresh scent of the woods mingling with the ocean spray. You can stroll along the wrap-around balcony before burying your feet in the sand a few steps from the fringe of the saltwater shore, and warm them up in the evening by the wood-burning fireplace. Indulge yourself in the one destination vacation spot that has turned summer into a year-long reality without leaving Maryland.
The summer season holds a great number of beautiful aspects, and at the Summerlee, many of these traits are made physical and put on display for your enjoyment. The kitchen is designed to entertain, because colorful food bursting with flavor is a hallmark of summer and deserves to be cherished. For your stay, we’ve included two kayaks that are available from late spring to early fall only, for your safety.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was our 2nd stay at Summerlee; quiet, private, easy beach access, and lovely house. Love the spacious and open main floor with 3 seating areas, large kitchen (well equipped) and screened porch. Plumbing/bathrooms upstairs could use some updating…those LOW toilets need to go; especially for us folks of a certain age.

This property was perfect for us to get together with family. Ample seating and plenty of beds and bathrooms. Loved that we were somewhat remote. The kayaks and beach area was such a fabulous addition. I wish the bikes had been maintained. The tires were all flat and not able to use. Also, there was only 1 life jacket. Would definitely stay again!

This home was peace and beauty all in one. The home is well decorated with everything and clean!

From the time we entered this well hidden gem until we left (we didn’t want to leave!), we loved this rental. The water, the inlet (full of crabs just for the picking), the location - we enjoyed it all. We will be back and thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Best winter retreat destination!

Beautifully decorated, comfortable home right on the water. Our group of ten enjoyed a wonderful three days there, playing cards and golf, exploring the park, historical St. Mary’s City and heading over to Solomon’s for seafood. We love Peggy’s houses, great ammenities and designed for maximum guest comfort - will be back again next winter!

Summerlee @ Scotland Beach

Our family had a wonderful time at Summerlee. During the day we kayaked & played at the beach, in the evenings we played games, read & watched movies. It was very nice for all of our varied ages; baby to senior. The house itself is very well furnished and the big kitchen was a pleasure.

Wonderful week

My family and I had a wonderful week at the vacation house. Mindy was super responsive and the house was exactly what we were looking for. We had a couple of rainy days but enjoyed playing games at the table overlooking the Bay. We kayaked to the pier and back (whew, what a workout) and we will be back again!

Beach getaway

Location was great. House is roomy with a bathroom for each bedroom. Loved the three distinct sitting areas on the main floor. Loved all the sliding doors opening to decks, etc. Kitchen could use some updating and more supplies. Saw no plastic wrap, aluminum foil. And comfort height toilets in every bathroom would be a plus!

Perfect beach house for making lasting memories :-)

I highly recommend this home. You are steps away from the water on your own private beach. We stayed here during spring break and although the water was too cold for a swim, you can still dip your feet, and relax on a beach chair while soaking up the rays and listening to the gentle crashing of waves. There is a family of ospreys living nearby and it was fun to watch them as they went about their business fixing up their home. The house itself was clean, has many rooms, and the common areas were spacious. The interior decor was also nice. There aren't any grocery stores nearby however the Dollar General just up the road carries many things including fruits, vegetables as well as milk, and eggs. The house has Wi-Fi but we barely used it as we spent most of our time on the beach. The house also has grills and we did a lot of our cooking outside. Thank you again for the pleasant stay and we hope to book again in the future!

A lovely get-a-away

This was a beautiful location and a beautiful space to be with family and friends. Loved the walks along the water, the bike rides, and being able to forget the worries of life to watch the birds and the water. Elizabeth could not have been more helpful, generous, and kind. We felt very cared for. Best of all, it was a place to take my 8-month-old puppy, who learned to swim. Not often do you find such a beautiful place that welcomes your beloved family pet. We will most definitely be coming back. Thank you

Family getaway

We had a nice family getaway for a 4 day long weekend! The property was great for us with plenty of rooms and seating space for us to convene for meals, games, books reading etc…The weather was cold, but we did enjoy walking on the beach with our puppy and listening to the waves while sitting in the screened porch. The approach to the house is not the best with bumpy roads and a lot of construction in progress. But it should look great when done. Overall good experience. Thank you.

Very Attentive Property Managers

This is a beautiful, homey, comfortable beach property. When a repair was needed, that was no fault of the property owners, they were amazingly helpful and accommodating. And it was 2 days before Thanksgiving! Any vacation can be wonderful when things go smoothly, but this group helped us have a beautiful family vacation when things were not perfect. We will return!!

About the host

Hosted by Mindy Klingensmith

Host profile image
Love urban life; also, love the isolated beach with amazing wildlife. Scotland is a welcome retreat from hectic city life.

Why they chose this property

Scotland is a rare find. Rarely do you find an area that begins with beautiful forests and opens up onto fabulous beaches. Little traffic but only 2 hours from Washington or Baltimore. I discovered a jewel.

What makes this property unique

Sunrise over the Bay with morning coffee is heavenly. Walks on the beach. Take a 30 minute kayak ride or a 5 hours one - very convenient out the front door. Enjoy a tasting of good quality local wines at beautiful Woodlawn plantation just 10 miles away.
