About the host
Hosted by Jocelyn and Gary Copeland
The Copeland's are a couple originally from West Virginia and Maryland. As a family of three, we enjoy spending time with our extended family in St. Mary's county and other areas in Maryland and West Virginia.
Why they chose this property
Hays Beach had been more than a favorite family vacation location for the two years before we purchased the property. It was a welcomed "retreat" from the stress and daily pace of suburban Maryland life. It felt like a natural "next step" in our journey as a family to purchase The Hideaway in Hays Beach and to create and share the peaceful experience with other families.
What makes this property unique
We are more at peace here than in any other place we have ever visited. The Hays Beach community is calm and neighborly and the expansive views of the Bay water and the forest and creek/lake are captivating. We live in a suburb of Washington DC and like many others, our days and weeks are filled with time spent in "the box" of an office, a house, a school and a car. Being outdoors is one thing. Being outdoors where our 360 degree view to the horizon is filled with the expanse of the Chesapeake Bay, tall forest and marshy creek, opens up your mind and heart out of "the box".
We enjoy the pace of this place, exploring Maryland's history, the natural environment which surrounds the property, the sounds of birds, tall trees, listening to the water, noticing how the beach changes, kayaking, taking photographs, collecting stones and sea glass, chasing crabs, fishing, floating, swimming, taking walks, riding bikes, meeting and talking with neighbors, watching our friends and families’ children explore nature, run and play and learn to crab -- we have never had a "negative" experience here, we always feel better after having visited and we always miss it the minute we leave Holly Drive.
You may find that you miss The Hideaway once your visit ends too.
