Private 2 Acre Waterfront Family Retreat with Pool & Pier

Fishing Cove is a fully-furnished eight-bedroom six-bath private waterfront family-friendly house tucked away in a lush pine forest. Our waterfront vacation home is on a very private cove with 2 acres of waterfront property and a large private dock and 3 boat slips. Easy access by car, or by boat from the Chesapeake Bay.

Drink your morning coffee on our 12' x 72' deck watching the birds and deer. Fish and crab from our pier. Swim in our pool. Our large welcoming house has everything you need for a relaxed vacation on the Eastern Shore, including accessibility features - electric wheelchair lift, ramps and wide main floor doors.

Located on Fishing Creek off the Little Choptank 9 miles from Cambridge, Maryland, we are near Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and our shoreline attracts an amazing variety of waterfowl. We have great bicycling roads: Flat and scenic, so bring your bikes. Bring your canoe and explore the shoreline. The house is wonderful any time of the year!

During the summer we generally rent by the week only - from Saturday to Saturday, so if the calendar seems confusing, just click on the Saturday you want to begin your stay, and it will automatically offer you a full week. You can always contact the owner if you need different dates that you can't click on.

All new mattresses, new super-fast Fiber Optic WiFi, new geothermal heating and air conditioning system, new paint inside and out, and much more!

Sorry, we cannot accommodate weddings, wedding receptions or large group events.
Nice doggies are considered. Our insurance policy excludes Pitbulls, Rottweilers, Mastifs.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 8 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

What a wonderful property for big families. We had family members from four states, ranging in age from 3-93, for Thanksgiving. The kitchen was well equipped. We had everything we needed to make four pies, a 22-pound turkey and all the fixings.Our host was pleasant and easy to work with. Very quick communications and so accommodating.I have rented many VRBO a homes, and after my experiences I come to appreciate a well-organized, professional host. We highly recommend this place.

Great family getaway with plenty of activities for the kids. We caught a ton of crabs off the dock and were able to cook them. The pool is a great size, and the view from sitting on the pool deck is amazing. Highly recommended for a family looking for a quiet place to stay that will keep kids entertained.

The rooms were very spacious. The house clean and well equipped. We would love to return during warm days to be able to enjoy the pool, fishing in the backyard and more walks. We recommend this home!

This was an absolutely perfect option for celebrating my mom’s birthday. She and my dad are older and have accessibility needs, so having first floor living and bedrooms, plus an elevator up to the main floor from the driveway, made this trip possible. The location is stunning, with a view of the water from most of the house, gorgeous forest providing privacy, and everything was clean and very well maintained. Our dog was incredibly happy to explore the yard and dock, and we were grateful to be able to bring her along. The host was attentive and quickly responded to any questions (we couldn’t find the elevator key when we first arrived, and she helped us within a matter of minutes!) We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with either older family members or a larger gathering (we had a smaller group but easily could have fit twice as many guests!) Thanks so much for such a wonderful experience.

Our family group of age 3 to 75 had a wonderful time at the house. Everything was just as described in the listing. Everyone especially enjoyed the pool and deck area. The beds were comfortable and it was fabulous to have 6 bathrooms for our group. The only issue we had was the bugs. Be sure to bring your insect repellant!

Repeat customer -- Wonderul multi-generation family gathering

Exactly what we needed for our multi-generation family gathering, and had stayed there a few years prior. May stay again in the future. Great location, beautiful, remote setting with private dock, only a few minutes from open water. Comfortably accommodated great-grandparents, infants, and everyone in between. Generally well-appointed and supplied -- just bring food and a swimsuit! Had a few maintenance items, but owner/manager Ginger was extremely responsive.

Loved the house and location. Beautiful view and so peaceful. Enjoyed watching the birds and crabbing from the dock. Plenty of space for our family. Pool and deck were lovely. Great seating outside and loved the grill! Only complaints- house needs painting, new sofas and new mattress in the master upstairs. Fishing Cove was neat, tidy and clean. Our family agreed that we would love to return.

Lovely spot for a gathering of friends!

Our book group (9 women) spent a delightful two nights at Fishing Cove House. The house easily accommodated the 9 of us with its variety of sleeping options, and enough bathrooms for minimal sharing. The house is very well equipped (new kitchen and appliances) with spaces for large and small group gatherings as well as quiet corners for individual reading. The location of the house is quiet and private, with great outdoor space with ample seating and lovely water views. All in all a very comfortable place in easy access (2 hours) from Washington DC.

August get away

Our group of 15 had a great week at Fishing Cove. We were out kayaking every day - sometimes a bit of a challenge to launch depending on the water level. There wasn’t any boat traffic so even our beginners could kayak as far as they could paddle. We had a wonderful time playing in the pool and watching the birds and encountered lots of frogs and salamanders. A great time was had by all. Also - having 2 refrigerators was a real bonus!

Relaxing Family Time

We were in town for a wedding in Oxford. With such a large family, this was the perfect place for us all to stay for the weekend that was close enough to the wedding venue. The home was beautiful and spacious with spectacular views of the bay. Relaxing and peaceful while sitting on the dock watching my son fish. Everything we could need was provided with this home. The owner, Virginia, was very gracious and answered all my questions. Thank you for such a wonderful weekend away, with family, in Cambridge.
