About the host
Hosted by Robyne Henry
After more than 24 years of military service, we’ve made our home in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. While we love the energy and opportunities of the area, we’ve always dreamed of having a quiet, peaceful retreat by the water—a place to unwind, reflect, and reconnect.
This home on the Chesapeake Bay is that dream come true. It gives us the chance to step away from the daily hustle and immerse ourselves in the natural beauty and calm of the coast. We love sharing this space with others who are looking for the same kind of escape—whether it's for a weekend recharge or a longer stay.
Hosting gives us joy because we know firsthand how important it is to find a place where you can truly relax.

Why they chose this property
This hidden gem is nestled in a peaceful, remote corner of Southern Maryland, where the Chesapeake Bay stretches wide just steps from your door. With private access to a quiet beach, it’s the kind of place where you can sip your coffee with the sound of gentle waves and end the day with stunning sunsets and stargazing—free from city lights and distractions.
We love the secluded feel of the property—it’s the perfect place to unplug, reconnect with nature, and truly relax. Whether you’re wading in the bay, reading on the porch, or enjoying the evening around the firepit under the stars, there’s a sense of calm here that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Despite the privacy, the location is surprisingly convenient. We’re just a short drive from NAS Patuxent River, and not far from local shops, restaurants, and historic sites in nearby towns like Lexington Park and Leonardtown. You get the best of both worlds: tranquil seclusion with easy access to modern amenities.
This special balance is one of the things we love most.
