Make memories at this non smoking and family-friendly place located at Chesapeake Ranch Estates. This cozy, beautiful and fully updated home has 3 bedrooms, 4 queen beds and 2 full baths is ready to accommodate a family of 5 comfortably (max of 8-w/ add. charge).Modern kitchen and WIFI are available. This place has access to 2 Chesapeake Bay private beaches- Driftwood Beach and Seahorse Beach as well as Lake Lariat all within 3-5 min drive from the property. Activities include swimming, kayaking (provide your own), hiking (trails are available) boating (there is a boat launching area for electric boat at the lake) and biking (bring your own). Passes to avail these amenities are included in the rental. The 2 private beaches has wooden tables with benches and charcoal grills that you can use on a FCFS basis. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the water. parking right at the 2 beaches is a plus. There is also a park available for children to play and a basketball court next to the lake.
There is a central room you enter from the front door which is a combination living room, dining room, and kitchen area. The dining room table is huge so we were able to work on craft projects and squeeze our food around it when we didnât want to disturb what we were working on. The TV could be seen from the table if you wanted to craft while watching a movie with the group. We always had multiple activities going on simultaneously. If you wanted to get away from the noise there was a very pleasant porch with lots of seating.
We attend/participate in the Solomon's Island Dragon Boat Festival every year and look for a place nearby that allows us to relax before and after the event. This is the best place we have stayed near the festival so far! It was in a very quiet neighborhood, with very modern, clean and comfortable accommodations. Everything exceeded our expectations. the check-in and out directions were clear and easy to follow. We look forward to staying here again next year!
The place was clean and nice furnished but you should note the following:
1. Checkin was difficult
2. Communication with the owner was slow
3. There are two beds in the âmasterâ and the headboard for one partially covers the door to the bathroom. Itâs a matter of time before someone cuts their head on it.
4. The beds seem to be double mattresses on queen frame and the mattress is smaller than the bed frame you can easily bang your legs getting in and out of bed
5. The outside swing is really dirty
5. The outside in general is a bit unkept.
7 if you have kids, the yard is. It isnât big enough for them to play outside
8. The next door neighbor is growing huge marijuana plants on his deck and he wonders around his yard (with no grass, just dirt) without a shirt and just staring at stuff (itâs creepy)
9 WhyâŠ.oh whyâŠ.would you put a completed puzzle on the coffee table with a note to not take apart? AâŠ.kids would I. Fact take it apart and b) it resulted in not being able to use the table. Weird.
Bottom line: if you want to stay on the house and drink you ass offâŠ.its great. If you only want to sleep there and do nothing elseâŠ.its great. But with the creepy neighbor, if you have kids or you want to be outsideâŠ.itâs probably not the best place for you.
The property was amazing! There was plenty of space for our extensive group, it is a quiet neighborhood, with easy access to beaches at the lake and the bay/river. Also, we got greeted by wildlife almost every morning!
We very much enjoyed our stay.
This property is found at the Chesapeake Ranch Estates in Lusby Md. We are about 8 minutes away from Calvert Cliffs State Park and 10 minutes away from Solomons Island. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and the neighbors are friendly. A few minutes drive, you will be at the beach or restaurants and other establishments. The area is wooded and if you are lucky, you might get a visit from a family of deer right at the backyard or you may see them walking on the road. If you like to ride bikes, you can around the neighborhood safely since the road we are on is not busy.
