A perfect property for enjoying water activities by day and listening to the waves from either the living space or near the firepit by evening! We appreciated the clean, thoughtfully appointed, waterside property with beautiful sunsets and amenities that surpassed expectations. Additionally, the hosts were exceptionally helpful, responsive, and hospitable. We will absolutely return and recommend without hesitation to others!

Great location for a relaxing weekend getaway. Walking distance to at least 4 local eateries. Scuttlebutt had the best crab balls and crab cake sandwich. Be patient, service isn't quite as good as the food. A short walk from the house to the dock. Very relaxing way to spend a couple of days. Great value.

A VRBO that feels like home!

We stayed for a long weekend at the Summerlin Home, and loved it. All of the small details made the trip so much more enjoyable. From the single use toiletries in the bathroom, to the fully stocked kitchen with all of the essentials no detail was overlooked. It was a vacation rental that felt like home. The host were amazing, and extremely accommodating. It seemed they genuinely cared if we had a good trip, and were willing to help make it better if need be.

Very nice place

It's quiet, clean, and a great place for families to relax and enjoy. And the nearby market was so kind and nice. The owner's mother took the time to take our family out on a boat for a nice tour of the Potomac River for a while. Fishing at the pier, my son and wife caught a lot of fish and were very happy and excited. It is a place I want to come back to next year. Thanks again to Keith & Stacy.

Peaceful escape

A perfect property for a much needed moms weekend away from the kids and jobs! It was so easy to unwind and relax. We enjoyed coffee on the pier, cocktails watching sunsets, naps in the hammock and walking to restaurants or the market. Communication w the hosts was impressively quick, and they were so accommodating to requests or questions. The furniture and decor were all so cute too! We loved catching up at that beautiful kitchen table. I see us all returning, either for another girls trip or with our families.

Perfect in every way!

Awesome property/location/amenities/host! We enjoyed every nano-second of our stay, and that is due to the host/hostess and the property they maintain and provide in the best way possible. We couldn't have wished for a better experience and hope to visit again and again. If you are planning to visit Cobb Island, this is the property you want to be at. Every inquiry before arrival was responded to promptly, and upon arrival, we were amazed at how clean and well addressed all our needs were without even having expressed them specifically beforehand. The location is perfect, as you are in walking distance to all that you need, and the sunsets from the dock are fantastic! We enjoyed sitting on the dock at night listening to the water, and the amazing waterfront views in the morning from the house while we greeted the day. We can't wait to go back!!

beautiful, relaxing location

We spent the week for a late summer family vacation and truly enjoyed our time. The rental is very clean, nicely appointed and comfortable. Loved that the hosts supply lots of accessories like hand soap, samples of sunscreen and some basic first aid supplies. Even though we didn't have access to a boat or watercraft for the week, the kids had a lot of fun fishing from the dock and the sunsets were fabulous all week. The location is a very quiet island with limited stores/restaurants in the immediate area but we did enjoy the Market and Scuttlebuts Bar/Restaurant, which are within walking distance of the house. All the people walking around the neighborhood were super friendly also. Just for awareness, all the beds are very high and may not be suitable for mobility or height challenged folks but a step stool isprovided. We would happily return for another stay in the future! Thanks to the lovely hosts.

We adored this pet-friendly cottage that is right on the water of the Potomac. It is very nicely decorated, the beds are incredibly comfortable, the internet was fast and the TVs were all smart TVs with plenty of streaming options. The island was very peaceful and quiet and the cottage is conveniently located within a reasonable walk of the marina, restaurant and store. The dock appeared new and has a bench with back for seating and relaxing over the water. There were two bikes available for rides around the island as well. For a pet friendly cottage, there were no signs of previous dogs such as fur or stains, and that was really nice to see. The cottage had all we needed for kitchen utensils, toiletries (though we brought our own), towels, and laundry. The linens and towels were in like new condition. We felt so at home and at peace. We felt the price per night was reasonable and can't wait to stay here again! P.S. If you stay here, getting takeout from Bubba's is a must :)

About the host

Hosted by Keith & Stacy Summerlin

Host profile image
Cobb Island MD has been part of our family for over 70 years, as 5 generations have lived, vacationed, and explored all the wonders of this beautiful piece of Southern Maryland history. It’s a special place to us with many great memories and we are excited to help you in making some of your own here.

Why they chose this property

Seated on the Maryland side of the vast Potomac River, the delightful Cobb Island was homesteaded and built by generations of crabbers and fisherman (even a few pirates!), forming the amazing little community that it is today. It hosts several thriving restaurants and marinas, including the locally famed Captain John’s Crab House. With amenities such as fishing and scenic sunset cruises leaving right from the island, to the Scuttlebutts bar and grill hosting live music on weekends, the island itself presents great opportunities for the whole family. Meanwhile, within just a couple of miles of the island itself, you can enjoy Swan Point Golf Club or the Wicamico Shores course , several wineries, and other local classics like Bubbas Place and the Cobb Island Market featuring Landon’s Ice cream stand. Only about an hour from Washington DC, it’s a great weekend getaway ideal for entertaining, and special events. The land and river alike in this part of Southern Maryland, are brimmed with history, landscapes, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you’ve ever seen. We hope you love it here as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our private vacation home offers romantic landscapes for couples of all ages, caters to small groups of friends on a getaway, and provides cozy comfort for families. With a large yard, a pier with boat lift, outdoor seating and fire pit, and in home amenities built for comfort, luxury, and fun- it’s an ideal retreat to enjoy anytime of year! We’ve put our hearts into making this place special for our family and yours and look forward to hosting you soon.
