Waterfront Home, Large Property with Pool, Discount for Monthly/Seasonal Rentals
This charming century old Eastern Shore farmhouse is situated on Brooks Creek in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay. It is rendered as a "telescope" house that has 5 bedrooms, sleeps 18 comfortably with 3.5 baths along with an outdoor shower. Every room has waterfront views. We offer a game room, children's playroom, ping pong table, kayaks, canoe and enjoy fishing and crabbing off the pier. You may also "chill" around the in-ground swimming pool. You can choose to eat your Maryland steamed crabs on the massive stone patio sitting around the fire pit or inside the screened in porch while enjoying gorgeous sunsets. Excursions include strolling the nearby towns of Cambridge, Easton and St. Michaels and exploring the Black Water Refuge to view the outdoor life in their natural habitat. Experience the true quiet and serenity of this Eastern Shore destination at Sunset Bay.
Would prefer multiple weeks and seasonal rentals, rates negotiated.
Weddings can be booked as well.

Relaxing family getaway
Big, beautiful, comfortable home situated on quiet and relaxing waterfront property. This clean, well-appointed home has all you need to enjoy a laid back and memorable time with your family. All nine of us enjoyed our time at Michael’s home. We swam in the pool, took the kayaks out, went for jogs, and enjoyed the fire out at night.

Beautiful home
The home is perfect for families of all ages. Some of us wanted to just relax on the screened in porch reading a book or enjoying the views of the water, the sunsets were incredible! Others were more adventurous and had a blast kayaking, paddle boating and fishing off the dock. We had a brief issue with the air conditioning. The owner was very prompt in handling it and had a repair man there within a couple hours to fix the problem.

Perfect family home
This property had it all. The owners thought of everything a family of all ages would enjoy.
The owners were quick to answer any questions we had while we visited. The zip line was an extra bonus for kids and adults alike. Would definitely recommend.

Great Waterfront Property
We visited with our family with ages ranging from 5-66. Everyone enjoyed their stay. There were plenty of things to do on the water (kayak, SUP, fish, etc). The pool was a great place to cool off. The house was secluded but close enough to town to pop in for dinner, supplies, etc. We had a blast!

Amazing week. The owners were generous to share the kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat, etc.
The best vacation! We rented another property on the eastern shore for 20 plus years, so were a little apprehensive about the change. Sunset Bay was just perfect. Can't wait until next summer!

Beautiful home with a variety of Options
The home and property are lovely. Plenty of open space inside and out for our family of 9...6 adults and three children. The kitchen is well equipped and I do believe Michael has thought of just about everything for adults and children(toy room) throughout. The pool is wonderful! It is well maintained as is the property itself. We spent everyday in the pool or on the screened in porch.
We are not enthusiastic boat people but kayaks and paddleboards are available. Getting those items into the creek do present a challenge. Make sure you bring bug spray if you spend a lot of time outside.
Overall a 5 star rating.

Wonderful vacation rental for extended family
We recently stayed with a family party of 15 at this wonderful home and had the best time. The kids adored the zip line and crabbing off the dock. Everyone loved kayaking and paddleboarding and of course the pool. There were amenities galore to use at the house like pool floats, life jackets, etc. Our youngest family member enjoyed the kids
corner and we played many games provided at the house. The ping pong table was a nice touch.
We had to get a little creative with sleeping arrangements amongst the rooms that connected to each other and food storage but overall it wasn’t a big deal. Even with so many people, we always had enough bathrooms, showers and hot water. Provided extra pool towels were a great help with how often we used the pool during a very hot week. The AC worked amazing despite how incredibly hot it was outside. We wished we owned a boat to be able to better explore the creek/Choptank River. The beach area was very swampy and wasn’t really usable due to washed up sea grass but that is no fault of the owner, just nature.
The home is quite a bit away from town but that is part of it’s charm. Sunsets were to die for out in the back yard or from the screened in porch. Be sure to bring bug spray in the summer. This area has a thriving animal and insect population as it’s really unspoiled nature. We saw turtles, frogs, crabs, skinks, etc.
We would recommend this property to other families.

Mostly as expected
Overall experience was great. Property was as described and very well equipped. Listing information should be updated to reflect that linens are not provided and to describe the arrangement of the bedrooms to indicate entry into two bedrooms requires you to walk through another bedroom. Host was very responsive to a minor issue upon arrival.

We will be back!!
This home was beautiful, inviting, homey and perfect for our family of 16. We didn't leave the whole week! We enjoyed sitting under a tree reading, swimming in the pool, paddleboarding, listening to the grandchildrens laughter as they played in sand, ziplined, caught crabs, played ping pong, and used their imaginations. The home was spotless when we got there and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this property!

Waterfront Farmhouse
Delightful, spacious property with a fantastic patio and screened porch that overlook the water. Perfect viewing spots for sunrise and sunsets. The in-ground pool was an option for some of our group that preferred to swim instead of kayak. Very clean and fully appointed with all the cookware and flatware needed for our family of 9 adults. Michael is an excellent, communicative host who is constantly working to satisfy his guests.

Wonderful Week
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, spacious property. The house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen very well equipped. We swam in the pool every day, caught crabs off the dock, grilled and watched amazing sunsets from the patio and our granddaughter (2 yrs) loved the little beach. The toy corner was a huge hit with her, too. We would love to return!

Sunset Bay
Sunset Bay is a very private residence with a beautiful and expansive view of Brooks Creek, which is particularly beautiful at sunset (of course). The large lawn is great for games and frisbee-throwing, and almost as nice to look at as the pretty cedar, pine, oak and maple trees that shade the house. The owners were most generous with their offer of kayaks, paddeboards and other recreational equipment, as well as a "toy corner" for the little ones indoors. We enjoyed meals out on the pleasant screened porch, and made use of the dock for our 17-foot Boston Whaler. We had a wonderful week, and recommend the property to anyone.
