A breathtaking secluded luxury waterfront cottage, complete with a private pier.

Ivy Cove is situated within the Soundings neighborhood, a family-oriented community exclusively tailored for boating enthusiasts. The tranquil waters of Mill Creek, renowned for its exceptional natural/safe harbor, offer access to Chesapeake Bay. Within a mere ten-minute boat ride, residents can access the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. However, from the vantage point of Mill Creek, the surrounding waters evoke the serene ambiance of a picturesque Northern Lake, nestled amidst the verdant pine forests.

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 Solomon’s Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomon’s 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)

We really enjoyed our stay at Ivy Cove. The house was clean and updated. We enjoyed going back in time with the vintage arcade games. The setting is beautiful and even at the end of November we found a nice day to go kayaking on the river.
The river is beautiful.
Beautiful string to relax and get some work done.

Such a nice home on the water at Mill Creek. Our group enjoyed crabbing on the dock and relaxing on the covered porch. House is very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and is close to Calvert Cliffs and Solomons Island. The owner KJ lives close by if you need anything. Would definitely recommend. Hope to return sonn.

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 water—it’s 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. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

Relaxing Water Front Mini Vacation

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..

Beautiful Home, Great Location

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 niece’s 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.

Fantastic property and host!

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.

What a find!

The pictures do not do this home justice! It’s so much better. Every detail inside is tasteful and understated. We came to visit Solomon’s 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 can’t wait to invent a reason to go back!
