Stunning secluded Luxury waterfront cottage with private deep water pier!
Ivy Cove is located in the The Soundings neighborhood; a family community designed exclusively for boating enthusiasts. The placid waters of Mill Creek, which is considered one of the finest natural harbors available from Chesapeake Bay. Only ten minutes by boat to the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, yet, when you look out over the waters of Mill Creek you have the feeling that you are on the pine-wooded shores of a beautiful Northern Lake.
A newly renovated waterfront cottage with a warm charming appeal capture the unique features of this 1965 home. Take in the beautiful view of Brooks Cove, an inlet off of Mill Creek, from the large wrap around porch while enjoying the morning sunrise. Spend your afternoons paddling around the creek inlets and the evenings relaxing by the fire pit watching the bald eagles sore over the cove. Or take a short ride to beautiful Solomonâs Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomonâs Pier, or take a stroll down the boardwalk to Cone Island.
Additional Amenities: Outdoor Shower Barbecue Grill with utensils 3 Kayaks (1 sit in; 2 sit-on) Bistro Lighting Corn hole
There are two security cameras located on the property for your security and mine. The first camera is located on the front corner of the home facing the driveway and the second camera is located on the beam above the porch facing the fire pit and the dock. All audio is turned off and these cameras do not face the inside the property.
My wife and I had an absolutely incredible experience! From the moment we stepped into this waterfront home, we were blown away. The views of the water are stunning. The home itself is spacious, clean, beautifully designed, and tastefully appointed. Every room feels like a peaceful retreat, and the outdoor deck is perfect for enjoying the breeze and taking in the views.The attention to detail is evident throughout, from the furnishings to the fully stocked kitchen. The game room was a blast. We also enjoyed the private dock and the easy access to the waterâitâs a great spot for kayaking, crabbing or simply relaxing by the shore and enjoying the firepit.The host KJ was great and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. If you are looking for a place to relax and undwind, this is the place. Canât wait to come back! Highly recommend!
Beautiful, peaceful home on quiet cove. Direct, private water access. Tastefully decorated and perfectly maintained. Nothing but grest things to say about it!
There is no better place to unwind and chill. Sit on the porch, enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the cove. Kj makes sure the place is super comfortable, clean and fun. Enjoy kayaking, crabbing, fishing, cornhole and just simple relaxation, we love this place!
The property was beautiful and exactly as pictured. Secluded location with everything you would ever need to enjoy the landscape. We had kids with us and it was a perfect set up for water activities. The owner KJ was so very nice, super responsive, and went above and beyond to assist us when we needed it. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return one day soon.
The home and property couldn't have been more beautiful and peaceful! Every detail was looked after for a comfortable stay and felt immediately at home. The views were stunning and the home and outside areas had so much privacy, despite being only a few minutes away from anything you might need. 10/10, would definitely stay again!
This property was exactly as described. The owner was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, we did not get to use the fire pit as it was rainy and cold. I would 100% stay here again.
Only negative feedback is the master bedroom mattress is really lumpy and very soft. Hard time sleeping. Other bedrooms are good. Rest of house is great!
I have rented from VRBO for many years now and there have only been two locations that have been immaculately clean and this was one of them. Besides clean, the house was very comfortable with the exception of noise. There were only three of us in the house with my husband and I being early risers and my daughter sleeping in. Each morning she would tell us that she was awake and by us opening the sliding door to go out on the deck. Well this was not a big deal for a house with only three people in it. If we would have had more of the family come along I think it might have been a concern. The outside area again was a fabulous place to relax. A second floor deck with comfortable seating , a hammock off to the side, a pier to fish from and a fire pit on the beach area to relax and enjoy the morning coffee or late night. S'mores. Thank you to our host who was more attentive than any host has ever been. Stopping by on his boat while my husband was fishing to ensure everything was good with the house, open communication via text for any of our questions, and meeting us at the house after to pay my daughter her winnings from the slot machines. Which by the way it was a big surprise that they paid out actual cash. Who knows how much we put in! LOL. But I really didn't matter. She had a great time..
The house was in tip top shape. The property had great views and all the amenities you could want. We used the fire pit every evening, as well as the crab trap and swimming off the dock
Just completed a week stay at this property. The group consisted of myself, wife, 20 year old son, 17 year old daughter, and her 18 year old friend. All in the group enjoyed themselves.
The house itself was beautiful and had everything that was needed for a comfortable stay. The master bed was a bit firm for me, but that is no knock on the bed, it was a quality mattress. There was plenty to do inside with TV's and games in the basement, but we spent little time in the house. The deck on the second floor was our favorite place. I took my morning coffee, we read books, talked, and ate all of our meals out there. The view of the cove was spectacular.
My wife enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of the flora and fauna on the property. During the day we kayaked and fished. The fishing was not action packed, but fun enough. Caught some puppy drum, white perch, croaker, and spot. Had a snakehead following the lure but he would not commit.
Taking the kayaks out to explore the cove and the neighboring coves was fun. the water was generally flat and not too much boat traffic. The girls enjoyed spending the afternoon floating in a double tube we brought with us tied up to the dock.
The jelly fish were not too bad and caused no issues. We were greeted each morning by a beautiful Northern Water Snake which would swim past the dock and then come back each evening. Wonderful coloring on him. There were birds galore to watch and listen to as well.
My family had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cove. We were in town for our nieceâs wedding and it was close enough to participate in all family activities but far enough away to be a peaceful haven to relax. The house is beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit and game room. The owner was fantastic. We would absolutely stay again in this amazing home.
This property was absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough good things about it. Very comfortable, very peaceful, plenty of great things to do at the house and in the area. We will definitely be back again. KJ is an awesome host. Thank you for sharing your great home with us!
The property is exactly how it's pictured except the pictures don't do the recent renovations justice. The tilework in the bathrooms, the outside decking and hardscape, and the wood floors throughout were absolutely beautiful. The house was stocked with towels, linens, and kitchenware. We just needed to go to the grocery store and we were set! KJ even had it decorated for the holidays.
We enjoyed watching wildlife from the windows in the mornings and taking advantage of ALL of the games in the rec room in the afternoons.
KJ was a great host. He checked in with us without being intrusive and he made check-in/check-out easier than a beach rental.
The pictures do not do this home justice! Itâs so much better. Every detail inside is tasteful and understated. We came to visit Solomonâs Island and hit Oysterfest, but found ourselves at home more than anticipated⊠dropping a line in the water, taking out the kayaks, sitting on the porch, playing pinball, eating crabs. And most of all, the host is amazing. KJ was responsive and went above and beyond with little extras that made our stay that much more special. I canât wait to invent a reason to go back!
This vacation rental was nothing short of spectacular. It offered the perfect blend of relaxation, comfort, and convenience. If you're seeking a dream getaway in paradise, look no further. This vacation rental is an absolute gem that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a slice of heaven on Earth.
This property was exactly as described and worked great for the group we had traveling. KJ has done a great job with this property to make it very comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our time on the patio and wish we would have have been able to have another day or two to enjoy even more that the cove has to offer.
We loved our time at Ivy Cove! The cottage is super clean, the beds and furniture are really comfortable, the amenities are great and the view canât be beat. You can tell a lot of love went into renovating and decorating the cottage. KJ was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay, house is well equipped, clean, and great location. Kids lived fishing and catch crabs in the traps off the dock.
Host is very responsive.
Highly recommend!
5 stars all around! The owner thinks of everything.This is the second time we have stayed, house both times was super clean, plenty of activities at the house itself: kayaks, cornhole, fishing & crabbing or just sitting and watching/listening to the wildlife. Basement has an old fashioned jukebox with a great mix of oldies/classic rock and a pinball machine. Close to a state parks for hiking and Solomons Island for great dining. Thank you again KJ for an awesome stay, again.
