A quiet, family retreat home on the Chesapeake Bay, south of Annapolis MD
A perfect spot for relaxing, reading, and writing, or as a home-base for visiting the many cultural and natural attractions nearby. This four bedroom water-front home under mature trees is in a quiet community located along the main-stem of the Chesapeake Bay. Bring your binoculars to watch wildlife and the coming and going of ships, sailboats, and commercial crab fishermen. Bring your sea-kayak to paddle around the creeks and bay. Join a fishing charter from one of the nearby marinas. One hour from Washington DCÂč or BaltimoreÂč, and 30 minutes from AnnapolisÂč makes for easy day-trips to museums and culture centers. There are a number of restaurants of various calibers close-by. Âčlonger during rush hour
We have been renting residential properties for many years in the US and Europe. This property and host really stand out. Perfect family layout, very well equipped, nicely decorated, spotlessly clean, quiet neighbourhood, beautiful views! Friendly welcome, clear instructions, very responsive communication and interesting (to us at least) details shared about the surrounding landscape and community of Cape Anne. Highly recommend!
This vacation home has been in the family since 1945 and is the source of many happy family memories of relaxing, fishing, and catching blue crabs. In order to sustain this home as a family retreat we are opening it to share.
In the heat of the summer, the breezes off the water keep the air temperatures 10°F or more cooler than the ambient air temperature further in-land. Sunrises on the bay tend to be spectacular! Storms moving up the bay provide visual drama that cannot be seen in-land. Occasionally we will have a Bald Eagle or two visit one of the trees early in the morning (and they are extremely skittish about people moving around), but in the summer daytime Ospreys dominate the sky here.
