Waterfront, Private Beach, Peaceful Family Getaway

Experience the Chesapeake from your very own front row seat at Murphy Point on the Chesapeake. Watch dolphins, turtles, sea rays, crabs and gamefish forage for food on one side, and waterfowl prowl the shallow side with a family of otters. Surrounded by water on three sides, the living area is 1300 sq feet with an indoor stair case walk up from the garage/utility area on the ground floor. The layout is open floor plan with kitchen, dining and living room facing the Chesapeake with stunning views out the large atrium doors. For security purposes, there are 5 cameras outside facing the exterior yard and driveway that we deactivate after check in and reactivate day of check out. This property offers a 2nd level wrap around deck with water views on 3 sides and stairs leading to the yard. Fish feed on the surface before your eyes. Cow nosed rays mate in June. Crab or fish from the property. A birder’s paradise—the property is adjacent to marshes, and tidal pools. Regular residents include diving ducks and dabblers, egrets, great blue heron, sea gulls, gannets & terns. Osprey nest within sight and a bald eagle visits late afternoons. Launch our angler kayaks and paddle boards from OUR PRIVATE BOAT RAMP/BEACH in the back yard and paddle to attractions north and south, or fish deeper waters. Take a swim or float in the shallow 4-foot water next to the property, or sit on the deck and watch ships roll down the channel.

Only 30 minutes to Washington DC and Annapolis. Locally it's a short 2 block walk or bike ride to the boardwalk/pier or shops, restaurants, and wine bar. Fine dining just 3 blocks away. Charter boat fishing 2 miles south. Herrington Harbor 4 miles north. Stop by the Bay History Museum and browse the local shops. Walk to the "First Fridays" of the month market where pop up shops, food and drink trucks and antique cars gather. Check out the Saturday morning farmers market for local produce, meats and delicious baked goods, and every 3rd Saturday of the month are free outdoor movies on the 10 ft. high screen on the beach. Into night life? There's bingo, gaming and slots at many establishments within walking distance, as well as live music venues up and down the western shore. Updated free events at the local Nature Center and throughout the town can be found by checking the town calendar at northbeachmd.org/calendar.
