About this property

Kentigern Shed at Scotland Yards

Whether you’re reclining on the plush chaise in the glass-paneled sunroom, or nestled in the soft pillow of sand just outside your door, refreshing sunshine is readily available to cleanse and soothe your skin at Kentigern’s Shed.
The interior is a work of art entirely designed to whisk you into a modern take on coastal homes. Minimalistic zeal pairs with organic themes to craft a strikingly inviting getaway.
Sleek black countertops with a restaurant-style sink makes food assembly easy, and the cleanup even easier. In the cozy master bedroom, the view of the trees is breathtaking in the early morning hours, when the herons are searching for their breakfast and the crickets are beginning to rest. For your stay, we provide two kayaks that are available from late spring to early fall only, for your safety.

Inoperable items- Stovetop - one gas burner did not work properly- Outdoor shower - Upon arrival, discovered water inside entrance way coming from failing outdoor shower pipes. Leaks significant enough to require shutting it down for our stay. No guarantee when the repair would be done so left it shut off to stop the flooding. Host responsive but unfamiliar with the piping. An outdoor shower is critical in a house like this at the beach, especially with indoor shower in main hallway so you can not use it and have dry floors causing potential slipping issue on stairs. - Mini-vacuum did not workCleanliness - Overall could have been much better. Third story porch floor needed significant cleaning. Floor was dirty with cigarette butts and ash at various places on the floor. More cigarette butts around the ground floor patio. Main floor, especially the corners, not clean. Expected after being there few days but not when it was cleaned prior to arrival. Master bedroom closet still have previous renters party material in it. Host - On site host worked hard to be responsive and was polite and considerate. She was however, not the decision maker with things related to the operation or repair of items in the house. Cost - cost fine except for above conditions. Owner should have made some accomodation due to the shower and cleanliness needs improvement

quiet time on the bay

Nice place to stay right on the bay western shore. Is a bit remote but that also meant it was quiet which was welcome. Be sure to check out Point Lookout park just 5 mins away. Beautiful view out across the water from either the ground level porch or the third floor screened porch.

Anniversary trip

This is our third time stay here. We came back kid free for our 18th anniversary and really enjoyed our stay. We love staying here and always have a blast! Our biggest complaints would be that there was only one lounge chair for outside and that there was dog hair all over the house. Will definitely continue to recommend this place to others!

It is a nice quite place to spend a few relaxing days.

I was surprised how spacious the place was for its square footage. The only thing missing is a small dresser to put your clothes. Other than that the place is great for two people.

Great Getaway House

Perfectly sized for two adults and one small child. Quirky design with a hallway shower, but was a fun house and was well equipped. Beach was extremely close and was very private. Very quiet neighborhood and safe for riding the bikes down to the State Park. Property. managers were very responsive and came to say thanks and goodbye. Great property within an easy drive of the Washington metropolitan area. Would love to come back. Only ate out once at the closest Mexican restaurant , Hacienda los Guayabos, but was very good.

Disliked: Amenities
Sweet place with many positives, including including the location, which is great. Having the sit -upon kayaks was fun, although there is only one kayak paddle for two kayaks; the second is a paddleboard paddle, which is not workable in the same way a kayak paddle is. I understand there is new management for this unit. I highly recommend they spend the time to go over this listing well, taking a spider brush to the outdoor shower, Repairing the window hardware, which prevents a number of windows from being opened, Removing the odd containers with unidentifiable contents on the first floor porch, & Providing written instructions for lighting the cookstove, using lights and fans, and the heat exchanger. Also, either supplying basic kitchen ingredients like salt and pepper and oil or clarifying in the listing that they do not do so.

Point Lookout in the Springtime

The location and privacy of this property are wonderful. We slept with the blinds open, so each morning we would see the sun bursting up from the ocean and sending swathes of yellow across the water. The tiny cove and sand beach were sweet, and we did not mind the “houseboat” style layout of the home. I would say that the cleanliness could have been better- crumbs on the table, and we swept and mopped the pineneedles that had piled up in the upstairs screened in deck. Also, the amenities need up dating- there were no bowls for cereal or soup, and the only two wine glasses were mismatched tiny and big. There was no soap for the laundry machine, and 15 year old faded magazines added to the impression of everything being a little in need of updating. We really enjoyed our stay- it was a nice taste of beach life.

Delightfully quirky Chesapeake getaway

My husband and I celebrated our 27th anniversary here this past weekend. It is an intimate little place with a clever use of space. We had never seen a walk-thru shower before! The bathroom is definitely unique! The beach and view are very nice. We really enjoyed the screened-in porch off the bedroom. I even napped out there. This is the perfect place for a couples getaway. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the living room is a bit awkward. The settee was rather uncomfortable and the TV is mounted up high on the wall so you have to crane your neck to watch it. This of course is a matter of preference and I'm sure many people don't have a problem with this. My husband has back problems and I have a chronic pain condition, so we are particular about furniture. Otherwise, it is a charming house perfect for a quiet getaway. Be sure to go outside in the evening to hear the bullfrog symphony.

We appreciate this guess kind comments and also the suggestion of more comfortable furniture in the living room. We are on the lookout for smaller-sized furniture that would fit the space. Will post new photos as soon as we can. In the meantime what's there is not bad but we understand that it is not perfect for everyone.

The house is unique and was easy to get in with the code and the waterfront fantastic, ocean breeze wonderful, was so excited to come here for the first time but our stay was semi-ruined by the awful housekeeping, the toilet was not cleaned, towels were wet but folded and worse part was sleeping with ants and getting 15 ant bites because of food particles left on floor under the Murphy bed I slept in. On top of that I was charged an 80 dollar cleaning fee service, for what if they aren't doing the job? The only thing we enjoyed was the view and the ocean. I don't think we will be back since I don't trust management and not calling once to see if everything is OK? I did try to call number and went to voicemail and said they would call back, never got a call. I came because of reviews but I can not give a good one here.

Location is fabulous, but

Property was not cleaned. We swept and bought ant spray. After 3 applications they were no longer everwhere. Fridge had no door shelves, broken ones stacked on top. Freezer was caked with frost. Dirty dishes and pans in drawers. No storage space for dry goods. Stove has two burners that do not work. Description fails to mention bathroom sink is in living room. Bathroom was dirty- toilet was dirty. Shower is great, but you need to soak up water from floor after if you want to walk through to get to upstairs. Screen on deck is damaged, not effective at keeping bugs out by any means. Stairs are stained in very dark color making night time navigation tricky. Closet/night stands in bedroom are difficult to access if over 5 feet tall. Views and access to beach - fantastic! Bikes were old and rusted and chains had derailed, but an email quickly brought 2 replacements! Screened porch is lovely. Towels were wet when we went to shower morning after checkin. Uncertain about cleanliness of sheets as there was a small (nickel size) blood stain near the headboard. It is a great location and property management is very responsive. House needs a deep cleaning and maintenance issues need to be addressed. Can’t beat the location and the view!

Sunrise wakeup

Perfect for kayaking, fishing, finding sea glass, etc. Unit was efficient and cottage like. Before you book Ask about who is renting next door, we had loud partiers til 3am on Sat night/Sunday am. Sand gets tracked in so can understand sand in floors, big dust bunnies in bedroom closet were a bit yucky.

The Shed at Kentigern & Kentigern - Love, love, love this place!

The Shed at Kentigern We stayed two nights at the Kentigern Shed after spending a week at Kentigern. It is the cutest, most unique, comfortable and efficient rental we have ever seen. It’s not very big, but covers all needs and was such a relaxing place. You wake in the morning and see the sunrise without even having to get out of bed. The screened porch attached to the bedroom is spacious and has very comfortable furniture. The perfect place to sit and read if you’d rather not go outside or have cocktails and snacks in the evening. The kitchenette has everything needed, including a microwave, toaster and coffee pot. The chairs in the living room are very comfortable. It is difficult to explain the shower/bathroom area, but believe me…it’s efficient! There is a little “two-seater deck” off the main room which is another great place to read, have your morning coffee or have your afternoon cocktail. Great place for a couple to relax and unwind. We will be going back ASAP. Kentigern When we arrived at Kentigern we were immediately in awe and in love. The house, the views, the beach…who could ask for more? We chose this particular rental as it has an elevator and I have a brother who has Parkinson’s. And we cook most of the time so the kitchen was great. Has plenty of room for several people to work together and a fridge that held food for a week. And the comfy sofas in the main area were wonderful. Great for a nap and my husband slept on one all night because it was so comfortable he never woke up after falling asleep watching TV! And a private bath for each bedroom. Again I say, who could ask for more? We did have a few minor issues, but these were addressed immediately by friendly, helpful staff. The large decks on each floor made it very easy to be in the sun or shade if you just want to hang out at the house. To get to the beach is a short walk; not even a “block” from the house. There are kayaks, bikes, life jackets and helmets. Most other places we’ve been you have to drive somewhere to pick these things up and PAY FOR THEM. So, you wake in the morning looking out at the water; you eat breakfast and drink your coffee in the kitchen…looking out at the water; then you have lunch on the screened porch…looking out at the water. After family left, my husband and I didn’t want to leave, so we moved to the “shed” next door and stayed two more days. We'll be back as soon as we can, but definitely for a week next summer!

Perfect change of venue

We’ve been working from home for such a long time and desperately needed a change of venue. This place was perfect. It is small but was just enough room for us. Very funky with some really eclectic features that add to the personality of the unit (you walk through the shower to get from the kitchen to the stairs that head up to the second floor). I’ve never used a Murphy bed before. The Murphy bed (in the living room/dining room area) was amazingly comfortable. We were shocked at how comfortable it was. We expected it to be like a sleep sofa which are usually uncomfortable. The Murphy bed was just the opposite. Great use of space. The second floor has a screened in porch with great chairs and chase lounges that are perfect for an afternoon nap or time spent listening to the waves before heading off to sleep. The sandy beach is lovely. Sat in a low beach chair right in the water which was warm and generally very clean. We liked the secluded location but it is important to know it is a good 25 minutes to a grocery store (target, Harris Teeters, giant, BJs). There are other rentals in the area but there is room between the units so there is plenty of privacy. Very small store about 10 minute drive. We filled a cooler at HT the first morning and didn’t get in our car again during our stay. More rustic than some other units but that added to the charm. Amazing attention by the owner! We had an issue with the air conditioner which wasn’t a big deal at all. Actually just letting her know so it could get fixed before the next renter. The owner had the service person at the unit very quickly after I emailed. He solved the matter quickly and efficiently and was incredibly nice. It was a great get away. Would absolutely return. Great value for the money and wonderfully relaxing place to level set.

Wonderful!

This was our second time staying at this property and we loved it as usual! Elizabeth was very helpful with any issues that came up during our stay! I was disappointed that as soon as we got there I had to sweep the floors because they were very dirty. One thing about the property is that if you want to sleep in while staying in the bedroom you will need to bring an eye mask. There are no curtains on the sliding doors and the sun shines right into the bed in the early morning.
