Fisherman's Cabin on the Bay

This charming 1950's era home sits directly on the water of the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.
It's a single story, 3 bedroom/1 bath home that is located on the ground floor with no stairs to negotiate.
If you love being on the water, you will love this charming home. Our Bay is populated with water fowl, seagulls, ducks and geese - perfect for those wanting to reconnect with nature. This home is surrounded by large trees and bushes, giving it a very private feel.
Our Master Bedroom features a Queen size bed. We've also installed a twin bed for those needing additional sleeping capacity.
The second bedroom also features a Queen size bed. The third bedroom, or kids room, features two twin size beds.

Parking is located just a few feet from the entryway.

There's one full bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower. We have plenty of off street parking in this secluded semi-private property just outside your front door.

Come enjoy the solitude and the most beautiful sunset views ever!

We are located just a block from the marina, so this is perfect for those who want to launch their boat. And just a couple of blocks from the Beautiful sandy beaches of the Bay - the beach access has abundant parking as well.

We are pet friendly with plenty of room to allow your little friends to run and play! This set up is perfect for your 4 legged friends - with tile floors, don't worry about the sand that is sure to follow you in. Clean up is a breeze. Fall asleep listening to the gentle waves of the Chesapeake Bay. And let the cool breeze blow away the present day stress! Join us with a small step back in time as you enjoy our Charming Waterfront Cabin situated right on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay!

We have a Charcoal Grill available for you culinary delight! We have a wood burning Fireplace - please bring your own wood.

For your relaxing evening entertainment, there is a large 65" Smart TV with high speed WiFi for your streaming TV service.

FYI, it is an older home with the flaws and character you would expect of an 80 year old house. As such, this may not be the perfect home for everyone. We still have the single pane windows, a wood burning fire place and some of the older plumbing and fixtures. We do not offer perfection, but a comfortable place to enjoy nature and the Bay Beaches while you make wonderful family memories!

On the bay and pet friendly

This bay waterfront property was great for our fur babies. We loved watching the Navy teams train in the bay right in front of the property. The highway noise was a little distracting when sitting outside. The older house is large enough so that 5 adults and two dogs could comfortably be together. The short walk to the beach was fine.The beds were clean and comfortable. The kitchen had limited basics. Towels were great. It is a waterfront property, so expect a few extra insects which the owners are definitely trying to control.

Disgusting property

There were huge spiders and webs right at the door. The odor that hits you when you open the door makes you gag. There was trash in the trash can and somebody’s opened drink in the fridge. Bugs were crawling and flying around, but the worst part was the mouse droppings on beds and we actually saw at least one mouse and recorded it for proof before we packed up our 3 small children and our belongings in the middle of the night to find refuge at a hotel. The owners made excuses about “nature belongs in nature” for the lack of upkeep. It is definitely not worth any price I’ve seen it listed for on here. We arrived after 10pm and left around 2am, making the property owner aware of things as they transpired. It was not cheap to book this so-called “charming cabin”, and I didn’t even receive half of what I paid out. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GROSS MONEY TRAP!!!!

This home was a great place to stay

We enjoyed our stay and was sorry it was cut short. We will definitely be checking it out again in the near future. The home was warm, accommodating and has beautiful views. We really enjoyed watching the birds and the neighbors were very friendly. There is nothing bad to say about this home. I highly recommend it. Thanks - Katy

The view was beautiful & so was the home but they don’t have exactly everything that was stated.

We had a good time but the main reason why we got the place was because they offered a boat & two water waves which we were never told that they infact don’t till we were already there.

Wow! What a gem!

Our group included 3 children and two adults. The space was welcoming, clean, cozy, and secluded. I can’t wait to book again! The beaches were very close and family friendly. Truly a sweet retreat! Would be great for families or friends.
