Great place for four generations of girls to gather as part of mom’s 90th year celebration. In sun or storm, views were AMAZING! Plenty of room to gather or find a quiet spot. Well equipped for meal prep.

Beautiful Quiet Retreat

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The property is very clean and the owner's have spent a great deal of attention to detail and design. The location is quiet and the views of the bay are spectacular. Our final night included a beautiful starry sky filled with views of the milky way and shooting stars.

Wonderful family reunion at the perfect beach retreat! We enjoyed our stay at the waterfront home of our hosts Brenda and Jeff.

This property was a great fit for our family. It was clean, spacious and had a great kitchen for preparing our meals. We enjoyed eating our meals while looking out the clean windows at the bay. The outside shower connected to a bathroom was a plus for the grandchildren. We brought a kayak and used the 2 provided and played in the sand and water. I would highly recommend this place for a private family vacation.

This is a beautiful home - the kitchen was stocked and the beds were comfortable but the best part is the water of course and the views from the house are incredible. We had a wonderful time. The owners respond quickly and are very friendly as well.

Wonderful Place for the Entire Family

This is a fantastic tucked away spot for enjoying time with those closest to you. The house is beautiful with spectacular water views from just about every room. It contains plenty of room to relax and find quiet moments, even with a full house. The beach is quite private and steps aways from the back door. We can't wait to return next year!

Wonderful house for a family weekend

We stayed at this house to celebrate our 40th anniversary with our children and grandchildren (10 people in all). We loved every aspect of this property from the beautiful view, the great private beach, the fire pit at night and the ample bedrooms and bathrooms for a large crew. The house was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed and some of us actually got up early to watch the sunrise from the balcony! We would love to make this an annual event.

Great house!

We were in Southern MD for a long weekend. This home is spacious and well equipped for visitors including children. We loved the walls of sliding doors on the first level that provided awesome views of the water. In warmer weather the combo indoor/outdoor shower and bath would be a nice feature. The owners were also very responsive by text for any questions we had. We would definitely stay in this property again!

Beautiful house with gorgeous views!

We loved every minute of our stay at Chesapeake Shores. The house is just beautiful and the owners have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. The views cannot be beat! Even though the temperatures were cool we sat in the adirondack chairs facing the water relaxing and when we got too cold we moved inside where the views are just as good. We will definitely be back with our family. I can see the grandkids loving the bunkroom. Thank you for making your lovely home available!

Gorgeous views

The views and sunsets are amazing. We went in the winter so didn’t get to enjoy the outdoor activities but loved suiting inside with the views and playing games and reading. The kitchen is huge and has nearly everything you need. We cooked in every night. There’s not much in the surrounding area if you like to be near a small town (i.e. no cute little restaurants or shops), but it’s perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend with friends or family. The owners are very kind and “on-call” if you need them.

Perfect Anniversary Retreat on the Chesapeake Bay

We spent our 21st anniversary celebration with family and friends at this beautiful house, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is prime, right in front of the Chesapeake Bay, with breathtaking scenery that we enjoyed all throughout our stay. We were lucky with gorgeous weather, which made the experience even better.The house itself is well kept, spacious, and had everything we needed for our 4-day stay. The kids had a blast with the kayaks, playing in the large backyard, and enjoying the lovely sandy beach. We also loved gathering around the fire outside in the evenings, where the kids made s’mores, and on our last night we were treated to a spectacular meteor shower. It was magical.This was the ideal getaway and a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion. We left with full hearts and beautiful memories, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Chesapeake Shores

Overall it was a great experience. The house is huge, there are 2 living rooms, plenty of bathrooms for the amount of beds that are there. The views were amazing. There were a few things we didn’t have access too only because we stayed during the off season and one thing that we were told we would have access too but after we checked in we’re told it was under renovation; the bocce ball area. Overall a great stay. Not a lot to do in the area during off season but I could see it being an amazing place during the warmer months.

Almost perfect

This is a fabulous place to rent. The house, the yard, the private beach, and the views are all awesome - very nice looking and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and everything was clean. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the number of bathrooms stated in the description is incorrect. When my whole family is going on a vacation, we only rent houses with 4 full bathrooms. The description claims this rental has 4.5 bathrooms, but the reality is that it has 3.5 bathrooms plus an outside shower, (which wasn't usable - needs repaired). I spoke to the owner about the incorrect number of bathrooms in the description and he insisted that 3 full bathrooms, a powder room, and an outside shower equals 4.5 bathrooms according to the St. Mary's County inspector. To anyone that only needs 3.5 bathrooms, this is a wonderful place.The only other negative thing on our trip was we couldn't swim in the bay due to the abundance of jellyfish.

Could not have been more perfect!

I booked this property for my immediate family and my in-laws to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. Jeff and Brenda were the perfect hosts --extremely organized with check-in and check-out, always available when we had questions, and the house was just beautiful. I'm a bit of a clean freak, and this house was immaculate. Nothing feels better than arriving to a clean house when you're on vacation. The beds were super comfy, and we enjoyed all the wonderful amenities like the bocce ball court, the Adirondack chairs overlooking the water, the private beach. Our kids loved digging in the sand, hunting for shells and sea creatures, and swinging in the hammocks. Overall, this house provided a much needed respite from our busy lives so we could enjoy being with family and making memories. We're already planning our next getaway to this house in 2023! Thanks for everything, Jeff and Brenda.
