Overlook on Dun's Cove -- Luxury waterfront hideaway minutes from St. Michaels

Looking for an Eastern Shore waterfront retreat that's perfect for a romantic long weekend, a family vacation with the kids, or just a place for you to rejuvenate? Welcome to ''Overlook on Dun's Cove!'' Relax in this custom-built vacation home in an exceptionally private wooded lot of almost 3 acres, yet minutes from fine pop dining, eateries, museums, and shops in St. Michaels, Easton and Tilghman. This idyllic property boasts glorious views, abundant wildfowl, and its own deep water pier which accommodates sail or power yachts up to 40 feet - also great for crabbing and fishing! (Adults and kids alike note their productive catches in our Guest Book. Two crab pots are available on-site for guests.) The pier is equipped with shore power, water, lights, and a dock storage box. Steps at the other end of the bulkhead provide a convenient launch for kayaks and paddle boards.

Recent upgrades assure luxury, comfort, and functionality that will delight the most discerning vacation rental guests. The living and dining areas, master bedroom, and home office/den have premium red oak hardwood floors. Stylish wool rugs define different areas in the open concept living space. The master bedroom has a Queen bed in a handsome iron frame with an aged pewter finish.

Whether you are an enthusiastic chef or prefer the convenience of takeout, you will enjoy using the gourmet kitchen. Its premier appliances include a SubZero refrigerator, Jenn-Aire range and microwave, and an Asko dishwasher. Inside the driftwood gray all-wood kitchen cabinets and drawers, you will find chef-quality cookware, bakeware, and utensils including All-Clad stainless pots, non-stick fry pans and a sauté pan, J.A. Henckels knives, Le Creuset Dutch oven and cast iron fry pan, and a stockpot for crabs and lobsters. The upper cabinets between the kitchen and dining area have glass inserts where you can readily access the Apilco French porcelain “Tradition” dinnerware plus a full complement of glassware (red wine, white wine, short (old fashioned), martini and tall (iced tea/soda/beer) glasses, champagne flutes, and juice tumblers) on the shelves. I

This home was everything we wanted it to be and more. From the easy communication with the property owner to the gorgeous sunrise on our first morning, my husband and I fell in love with the area. The kitchen has great amenities and is well stocked with everything you will need to enjoy your stay. The locals are very friendly and you get the shops of St. Michael’s and the down-home feel of Tilghman’s Island. Book it - you will not be disappointed!

Our host was easy to work with and very prompt in answering any questions or concerns that I had. The house was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, utensils, linens, herbs and spices. The beds were comfortable; extra blankets and pillows were available. The view of the water was very peaceful, and relaxing. The deck was a perfect spot for reading, and knitting. The house is in a quiet, private setting, a short drive to St. Michaels where we visited the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and we did some retail therapy in town. We also enjoyed the art museum in Easton. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a quiet get-away. Many thanks to our host for making our vacation so special.

This was the perfect getaway for our family of 4. We loved the water views from inside the home and the magical light that shone through the trees throughout the day. My 11 year old son spent many hours on the dock fishing and caught 13 fish and several crabs. The house was beautifully decorated and well stocked. Don't miss the sunrise and sunset views! Would love to return again in the future!

A lovely house on a quiet cove

This is a comfortable and up-to-date home with very upscale furnishings that sits on a quiet cove of the Chesapeake Bay. We saw herons, ospreys and comorants fishing in the mornings. Both the sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. The host was a pleasure to work with and all the instructions were very clear and helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a waterfront vacation!
