Stunning secluded Luxury waterfront cottage with private deep water pier!

Ivy Cove is located in the The Soundings neighborhood; a family community designed exclusively for boating enthusiasts. The placid waters of Mill Creek, which is considered one of the finest natural harbors available from Chesapeake Bay. Only ten minutes by boat to the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, yet, when you look out over the waters of Mill Creek you have the feeling that you are on the pine-wooded shores of a beautiful Northern Lake.

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)
Bistro Lighting
Corn hole

There are two security cameras located on the property for your security and mine. The first camera is located on the front corner of the home facing the driveway and the second camera is located on the beam above the porch facing the fire pit and the dock. All audio is turned off and these cameras do not face the inside the property.

3rd stay, wonderful, again.

There is no better place to unwind and chill. Sit on the porch, enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the cove. Kj makes sure the place is super comfortable, clean and fun. Enjoy kayaking, crabbing, fishing, cornhole and just simple relaxation, we love this place!

The property was beautiful and exactly as pictured. Secluded location with everything you would ever need to enjoy the landscape. We had kids with us and it was a perfect set up for water activities. The owner KJ was so very nice, super responsive, and went above and beyond to assist us when we needed it. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return one day soon.

Amazing stay!

The home and property couldn't have been more beautiful and peaceful! Every detail was looked after for a comfortable stay and felt immediately at home. The views were stunning and the home and outside areas had so much privacy, despite being only a few minutes away from anything you might need. 10/10, would definitely stay again!

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.

Fantastic

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!

Basement has an old fashioned jukebox with a great mix of oldies/classic rock and a pinball machine. Close to a state parks for hiking and Solomons Island for great dining.

Family Celebration

Quite: This riparian home sits in a mature neighborhood along the headwaters of a large creek. Neither car nor boat noise is obtrusive. Secluded: Large trees on the property, and throughout the neighborhood, in addition to the natural topography of the area provided uninterrupted privacy. Outdoor Comfort: The deeply overhung wrap around porch and generous seating enabled hours of reading and lounging for our party of 5. The double hammock and hexagonal picnic table also enjoy shade from the tree canopy. There is a park bench on the pier and foldable chairs available for even more seating. Indoor Comfort: A new 3-piece suite in the living room, along with a ceiling fan and flat screen, rendered evening entertainments a delight. The kitchen has EVERYTHING - full stop! The bedrooms are cozy with a ceiling fan in the primary. The bathrooms, like the kitchen, have updated tiles, fixtures, etc. Bedding and towels are all new and soft. Activities: Three kayaks & life vest, fishing polls, pier, corn hole, pin ball, and arcade games were a real hit with our crowd. All implements are clean and in good working order. We also enjoyed evening constitutionals in the neighborhood. The Host: KJ is welcoming and kind. It is obvious that he takes great pride in this listing. The house and environs are all well appointed and maintained. We have stayed in many VRBO listings in the past and can honestly say that this is one of, if not the, best.
