Family and Pet-Friendly, Waterfront with Pier

There are two houses on the property. In June of 2015 we completed a full and total re-build of the carriage house and are back up and running on VRBO. Since retiring in 2014, Clarissa and I are living full time in the house and you may see us from time to time, but the carriage house 'cottage' has been designed to be a get-away that is comfortable, elegant, private, cozy and memory making. It is perfect for families, couples, and or friends just wanting to spend some time together. It is far enough away from civilization to enjoy the water, sky, trees and wildlife, without being entirely out of touch. You are in short driving distance to Cambridge, Easton, St. Michaels, and Salisbury, or Ocean City for lots of day-trip entertainment. For nature lovers, we are near the Blackwater Refuge for kayaks or canoes. For hunters, this is an area sought after by those interested in ducks, geese, deer, turkey and others. For golfers, there is one nearby golf course and plenty of varied and highly-rated local restaurants.

If you’d rather just stay on the property in a quiet, secluded natural arena, you can enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing (right from the pier), swimming, walking, biking, sitting with your favorite folks, or holding down the hammock with a good book. In cool or rainy weather, there are games, books, internet and TV. The house is designed for entertaining, with a brand new kitchen equipped with plenty of cooking paraphernalia, and the living space is conducive to easy conversation and lots of comfortable seating.

There are two different areas for dining, inside or under the pergola, all in view of the Brooks Creek/Choptank vista. It is perfect for a family to get reacquainted or a romantic getaway. We provide the ambiance, you provide the fun!

Living room with 42' flat screen TV, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, two with queen beds and a third with a full size bed, and a loft with two twin-sized beds. separate 15 x 12 pergola with slate flooring, adirondacks, fireplace and dining seating for four. The pier can handle motorboats, canoes, or rowboats. Four kayaks are available. Linens and paperware provided along with all kitchen equipment and dining ware.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Rental vacation that checked all the boxes!

Property ground was huge with plenty of leisure activities to enjoy such as kayaks, dart board, above ground pool, bikes, swing, etc.The most enjoyable part was the private dock where we enjoyed crabbing and fishing, sunset viewing and just plain relaxing. All rooms were nicely organized with clean sheets, linen, towels and toiletries. The icing on the cake was the kindness and generosity of the owners Rob and Clarissa. They made us feel at home and treated us like family in going far beyond what's expected from any vrbo rental owners we have had in the past. Can't wait for our next summer crabbing experience in this mini paradise!

Laid-back perfect location

The property and hosts were exactly as advertised and what we were looking for. We absolutely love this area and after connecting with Rob and Clarisa our hope is for many return stays. I've been vacationing on the eastern shore for over 50 years and have always appreciated the hospitality of the people, its very refreshing to still experience this same hospitality. Thanks Rob and Clarisa

Multi-generational vacation

We had grandparents (75yr), parents (50yr), young adults and teenagers (17-21) and a dog. Everyone had something to do and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We did canoeing, swimming, boarding, fishing, crabbing, biking, sunbathing, we had S’mores, watched marvelous sunset, played card games. The dog had the most fun by chasing squirrels and rolling in the mud. He did not get to do this at home. My parents came to visit me from Bejing China. They had a good time talking with Rob and their grandkids. The house is fully equipped with everything we needed. We hope to come back again!

Weekend excursion on the water

This was the perfect location and property for our family. I only wished we booked a longer trip! The amenities inside and out, and the friendliness of our hosts made this a great way to relax away from the Beltway and get out on the water. The kids didn’t want to leave

An absolute gem

The only thing I can say is that the online listing really doesn’t do justice to how amazingly stunning Rob & Clarissa’s place is. My family and I decided last minute that we wanted to spend a weekend on the bay. I never expected it to be so beautiful! We got there late in the evening and we were speechless when we woke up to the most beautiful view of the water. My son had an amazing time between playing in the loft or in the playhouse outside, kayaking, and paddle boating. My parents “settled” for chilling by the water and enjoying the firepit and gazebo. I strongly recommend it and plan to go back as soon as we can. Thank you for a wonderful time, Rob & Clarissa!!

Hit the "Reset" Button

If you are looking for a bit of serenity and stillness, this is the place to be. We enjoyed this beautiful waterfront property so much, we skipped our plans to drive around and explore more of the area because we just wanted to soak in the water and the sky, with the moon on one end and the sunset on the other. Staring at the moon and its light reflecting off the water as we sat around the fire is a picture I hope to keep in my memory for a long time. This is the perfect place to clear the mind and the lungs Rob and Clarissa are very friendly, warm and they welcomed us with a tour of the property. The house is well-furnished, comfy, cozy, and very clean. Rob advised us in advance to make sure we had provisions when we arrived, as it is not a quick trip to town for a morning cup of joe. I can't wait to return.

Amazing property, Amazing Hosts

I cannot give this property enough stars! They had absolutely everything a family could need to have the most relaxing yet activity-filled stay. The accomodations were spotless, the beds super comfortable, central air kept the place nice and cool, and the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with all we could need. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boat, bicycles, fishing, crabbing, yard games, and fire pit. The hosts are super nice people who make you feel totally at home. Though we do not have little kids, the place would be great for them as well, with a small pool, play house, and all sorts of toys. The bay water was warm and fairly shallow but not super mucky like some inlets can be. Cannot wait to go back next year!!!

Relaxing getaway

Rob and Clarissa did an amazing job making their loft apartment cozy, relaxing, and spacious. There's plenty of room for a whole family to eat, entertain and sleep in different rooms. And then their outdoor space is amazing! Huge yard, playground for the kids, and welcoming to our four-legged family members. Their property is right on the water, with a dock for boats and another for kayaks and paddle boat. My kids absolutely loved it and spent every second outside on their dock, fishing or in the water. We can't wait to come back for our next vacation! Thank you so much!!

We stayed at the property this weekend while we were in town for a wedding, and just loved it! The hosts were the absolute sweetest, and their property is so special. It is very important to note that this is about 20 minutes outside of town, but the peacefulness and view make it extra worth it!

Wonderful Property and Hosts

My partner and I stayed here for eagleman 70.3. Rob and Clarissa were very responsive and welcoming. They made sure we had all of the info we needed beforehand and gave us a heads up that it’s a bit of a drive to a grocery store. They made us feel right at home. The property is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. The guesthouse was clean and well equipped. The views of the water from the deck and just inside were wonderful. The location is quiet but there’s plenty to do on the property or just a short drive into town. While we didn’t have a chance to enjoy all they have to offer, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We will surely be back!

Family Birthday Celebration

This was an excellent spot to enjoy a memorable weekend. The weather could not have been better and all 8 of us and 2 little dogs enjoyed all the property offerings. Only two minor critical reviews; In reviewing the property photos, I hadn't been aware that there were many steps to get up to the living space. That was difficult for my husband and limited his comings and goings. Had I known in advance, I may not have chosen this particular spot. Additionally, and absolutely nothing the hosts can control, the mosquitoes and ticks were quite problematic. Autumn there must be idyllic! We made some wonderful memories and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely spot in Cambridge. The hosts are such warm and accommodating people and loved having them show us around.

Lovely place with lovely views

My In-laws met my spouse and I here for a few days to enjoy a little time together away from the city. It was rainy and cloudy most of the time, so only one person went kayaking for a little while. Regardless of the weather, it was a great time on this property. It's a cute little place renovated above the garage and it's so peaceful in the woods by the water. Rob is very responsive!
