Murphy Point was the perfect place for a quick getaway from the DC area. The location of the house is amazing and we spent a lot of our time relaxing on the deck, watching boats on the Bay and watching birds fishing in the cove. The house was clean and comfortable and it's just a few short blocks to the pier and to some restaurants and shops. We had a great time and definitely plan to return!

This property has one of the best locations of any that I have rented. The house has all the essential amenities that one would want for a great stay. The only drawback for larger groups might be the fact that there is only one bathroom...although there is an outdoor shower that is very nice. The house is right on the bay and at the end of the street which eliminates almost all traffic. There are kayaks and paddleboards to use as well as crabbing and fishing gear. A small inlet behind the house makes launching watercrafts easy. There is a five minute walk to the public beach, restaurants, and ice cream places. The views of the bay are fantastic from the deck as well as from inside the house.

This location is perfect for soaking in for in the awesome bay views (180+), private inlet for kayaking and paddle boarding, and walking distance to fantastic restaurants. Also enjoyed the towns amenities such as the boardwalk, bay beach, and walking gardens. Open concept worked well for evening at home playing board games and enjoying dinner.

This house is beautiful, in a great location. You have one of the few direct accesses to the bay. Great fishing, crabbing, kayaking. The house has everything you need. Thanks to the Murphy's for opening their house, and providing excellent recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc.

Perfect Location

The location of this property can’t be beat. The views are amazing and it’s a pleasant little walk to town and the boardwalk. House is clean and well supplied for any cooking you may want to do as well as any recreation that you may want to take on, beware of the red kayak however, it leaks. Owner was friendly, helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!

The location of this house is the best in the area! It is surrounded by the bay and you have your own personal area to enter the water. We had the bay to ourselves. We loved using the kayaks and paddle boards that were provided. Crabbing was so much fun also. The home is lovely and has everything you need. Great restaurants, shops, the pier and local beach are all within walking distance. The owners communicated well and the check in and check out process went smoothly. We would love to return to this home again.

Awesome place

You absolutely can’t beat this location. We went paddle boarding, went to the beach every day, and took our small boat out that we were able to put in right there in the backyard. We watched the sun rise over the bay and saw a full double rainbow as the storm rolled out. My kids fished, crabbed, and my husband and I drank wine on the porch every night after bedtime. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, and the views were fantastic. We’re definitely planning to come back if we can!

The house was great for a family of 5(kids are 17, 14, and 8)! I was a touch worried about 1 bathroom, but it wasnt an issue at all! Great lay out, great views, great experience! We could sit on the deck all day every day and watch the world go by! Super fun watching the crab bats come in to check pods too. Small cozy little town, the kids brought their electric scooters and cruised all over the place! Chesapeake beach railway trail isnt terribly far and such a beautiful area to walk! So much wildlife and so peaceful. We also experienced a fishing charter with School up charters. Chris was our captain and he was great! The beach was really nice and we enjoyed alittle time there several of the days. My only negative is they had tons of Jellyfish so swimming was slightly difficult the week we happen to be there. We still had a greqt time and were able to relaxed, played cards, walk, and just had great quality family time! The Murphy family was easy to get in touch with. Quick with their response and genuinely had thought of everything. They had a variety of games for all ages. Had such a great home like feel to it. It would have been easy to stay longer

Peaceful stay on the water

This was the perfect place for a relaxing family get-together, with a lovely spacious living area on the second floor, and a wrap-around deck which meant that you could always find the sun, shade, or shelter from the wind. There is instant access to the water - first in a very sheltered lagoon and then in a bay - so great for having fun on the water with a variety of kayaks, SUPs, and other floating devices available. The owner was very quick to respond to questions. The house is located right at the end of North Beach so was quiet, but only a short walk to shops and restaurants. We had a fun week there.

So close but felt so far. Beautiful getaway.

Quick vacation with my three daughters in July. Amazing views. Felt secluded. Cute town. Simple home which is all we needed. The kayaks were easy and awesome to use. Only downfall for us, it was during a heat wave and swimming was limited because of jellyfish. I didn’t mind a sting here and there but my daughters weren’t having it. Would definitely go back though when it wasn’t 100 degrees. Great host.

Book before July 4 next time. Pre-July 4 stays are guaranteed no jellyfish in the water. If they come, it's usually August. Very hot weather & very little rain last year invited an unusual jellyfish invasion from the ocean. When this happens, the town deploys netting in the water to keep them away from the public beach, 2 blocks south of our property.

Waterfront Gem: Perfect Family Getaway with Great Fishing!

Excellent stay at a prime location! The host, Pat, is exceptionally accommodating and communicative, always quick to respond and offer helpful advice. The property's location is unbeatable, right on the water with great fishing and crabbing opportunities. We caught some nice bass and blue crabs during our stay. Pro tip: if you're after bass, try catching some small fish in the nearby pond for bait first. This place is perfect for families with children. Our kids had a blast with all the outdoor activities, especially fishing and crabbing. The host thoughtfully provides fishing rods, shrimp nets, and crab pots, which really enhanced our experience. While the house is older, it's very well-maintained and clean. All necessary amenities are provided, and everything functions properly. The only minor inconvenience was having just one bathroom for our group. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The combination of a great location, well-equipped house, and Pat's hospitality made for an unforgettable family vacation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a waterfront getaway with plenty of activities!

A Perfect Family Getaway Surrounded by Water and Wildlife

We had an absolutely incredible four-day stay at this peaceful, well-stocked waterfront home—an ideal retreat for families or couples looking to relax and reconnect with nature. The location is truly unmatched: 270 degrees of water views, with serene birdwatching right from the deck (we especially loved watching the nearby osprey nest). It felt like we were wrapped in nature, but still within walking distance to several excellent restaurants.The home had everything we needed for a comfortable and convenient stay—plenty of towels, paper goods, a fully equipped kitchen, and even fishing and crabbing gear for spontaneous waterfront fun. There were also kayaks and stand-up paddleboards included, which made exploring the area a real highlight. Inside, we enjoyed board games in the evening and relaxing with the smart TV after long days in the sun.Check-in and check-out couldn’t have been smoother—the host provided clear, timely communication every step of the way, including a thoughtful mid-stay message about a local farmers market we ended up loving. While the home itself is older and a bit rustic, it was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and had a cozy charm that made us feel instantly at home.We also took a short drive to hunt for shark teeth—a surprisingly fun and unique activity! All in all, this was the perfect place to unwind and spend quality time with loved ones. We’re already looking forward to returning!

Beat the heat

Our group of five adults rented this home over a weekend when temperatures soared to close to 100 degrees in DC. We brought our three small sailboats and were able to hand-launch from the private cove and then have direct access to the Bay. Being on the water, or on the wraparound deck that caught the breeze off the water, was an excellent way to beat the heat! The house was clean, comfortable and very well-equipped for our needs. We used the gas grill for dinners and then walked a block into town for ice cream. While the marsh grasses are a bit more grown up than in the photos, there was plenty of room for us to set up our pop-up shade tent and Cornhole boards in the side yard. A word of caution to anyone who wants to swim in the cove - be sure to bring water shoes with straps, since the mud can be sole-sucking! We ended up going in barefoot and encountered minimal shells underfoot. Overall the house and property was exactly what we were looking for as a weekend getaway with our small boats and we look forward to the opportunity to return again in the future.

This was a spectacular location. Even if the town wasn't adorable, with great restaurants, and a fun place to walk around ... Which it was -you could not feel more like a part of the water than at this house. I could spend a week just sitting on this deck meditating. Again, it was spectacular.

This morning I watched the sun rise.

When searching for a vacation location we wanted something near the water. Well, we found the perfect house! Perched just feet from the shoreline, the bay view the house provides is perfect in every way. When sitting on the deck one enjoys an unobstructed, virtually 180 degree view, of the bay. I especially enjoyed getting up early enough to watch the sunrise. Just a cup of coffee and sitting on the deck was all I needed. What a beautiful sight! Another plus is the house sits at the end of a one way street. It’s very quiet. If you’re a bird watcher than you won’t be disappointed. It sure was fun watching birds dive for the water looking for a snack. I even got a glimpse of the bald eagle. The location is also close enough to Washington, DC to make a day trip to see the our nation’s capital. It was easy for us to get there by car and well worth the trip. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with gorgeous views and a great location you should consider this property. We just loved it.

Beautiful Spot on the Bay

The location is incredible. Beautiful views and a quaint, sleepy beach town with a few restaurants and a small, local beach. About an hour to DC. Our family of 4 stayed for a week. The house was sufficient for our family of 4. Paddleboarding and fishing from the backyard became a favorite of our 14 and 15 year old kids, another favorite was walking into town to go to the bakery in the morning or ice cream in the evening.

We loved staying at this house right on the bay! Beautiful views all day and our own private water access. The kids absolutely loved trying out the kayaks and paddle boards! The only thing that could have made the week better would be if we didn’t get a jellyfish invasion but we dealt with it and still absolutely enjoyed the house and everything North Beach had to offer!

Excellent Beach Front Property

This house was an amazing find! The location was perfect and within walking distance of so many things. If the weather had cooperated I would have taken full advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards, but could only stare at them wistfully while listening to the rain beat down on the deck. 😊 My friend staying with us did have an allergic reaction to something on the railing, but we have no idea what. Could have been anything from the salt water to the pollen that day. None of the rest of us had an issue though and it was still an awesome stay! Thanks for providing such a great space for us to enjoy Patrick and Anne! Oh, and as a funny anecdote... we have relatives who were staying at a much more expensive, much larger rental a few blocks away. And even though the place was impressive, it lacked in the many luxuries that we were provided... such as wash clothes, measuring cups, and paper towels! You guys have this hosting thing down perfectly!
