What guests think
At Chesapeake Bay Cottage, guests consistently praise the stunning bayfront views, quiet setting, and relaxing indoor outdoor spaces, noting roomy, comfortable interiors and a well equipped kitchen that make family stays easy, restful, and hard to leave.
Popular features include the screened porch, multiple decks, easy bay access with a small beach and kayaks, though a few note the pier or dock is shorter or missing compared with photos. Reviews frequently describe the cottage as very clean, with responsive, helpful hosts, while occasional maintenance issues (light bulbs, locks, a refrigerator repair, or hot water in one bathroom) were reported and, in one case, not resolved during the stay. Groceries and a few restaurants are close by, and Annapolis or Washington are easy drives, though some find the immediate town limited. Expect a relaxed, family friendly waterfront stay.

Beautiful property with gorgeous sunrises in the morning, plenty of outdoor deck space, fireplace and fully equipped kitchen. Had everything we needed for a holiday family reunion.

Had a great time at this property. We spent most of the weekend in the screened in porch just reading and relaxing and watching the osprey. The neighborhood is quiet. The property was clean and as advertised. We would definitely stay again.

Great stay! Quiet, peaceful, clean and safe. The house had all important amenities plus extras of everything (towels, sheets, toiletries, etc.). Gourmet kitchen was well equipped with great views of the water. The dock is slightly shorter than pictured due to storm damage and the leftover section has been moved over to the sandy area but there was still enough room for our little ones to be entertained for a while though. Loved hearing the birds each morning and small waves crashing at high tide. Kayaks were super fun too as there wasn't much boat traffic at all. Really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor living with the screened in porch and multiple deck spaces. A great place to unwind and reconnect as a family!

We enjoyed the property. Convenient location and beautiful views of the Chesapeake. Cute decor. Especially enjoyed the deck and screened porch. The beach was smaller than expected but enough for 3 chairs. There were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed (burnt out light bulbs, sliding door locks, etc.) But overall clean and ample space for 3-5 people. Would have been nice if there were extra towels, trash bags, and a welcome packet for guests. Breathtaking sunrises and delightful bay breezes! Close to local restaurants and shops. Very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Perfect getaway spot!

The view cannot be beat! The neighborhood is so quiet and private. The deck is amazing to sit and relax under the big tree for shade, and enjoy the amazing view. The beach is a little bit different than shown in the picture, but it was still wonderful to sit for hours and enjoy the sounds of the water.

The host assured that we had all the important amenities plus extras of everything (towels, sheets, toiletries, etc.). The kitchen was fully equipped too! Everything was exactly as described. We spent Saturday morning sitting out watching the gorgeous sunrise and listening to the bay sounds. Although Sunday’s weather was cloudy and rainy, the peaceful atmosphere cannot be beat! We came in from out of state and were able to reconnect with local family – it was a fantastic time. Lots of nearby restaurants with delicious food – Skipper’s seafood can’t be beat; we also had sandwiches at the South County Café – delicious! Although we didn’t have time, locals rave about their breakfast too! I would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend this gem of a place! I am hoping we can come back again when the weather will allow for kayaking!

The property is very nice and it’s quite. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay with family. Property is clean. We enjoyed the view of the bay and watched boats and sail boats as well as enjoyed the outside, the sun room and the fireplace with our babies. Checkin is easy. We have no complaints about the property and look forward to hopefully staying here again in the future.

This home with its spectacular view of the bay is perfect for a small group. Weather wasn't the greatest, but we could still enjoy the screened in porch. Lots of extras in the kitchen, and with linens, that add that extra touch. Owner was very responsive when the refrigerator needed fixed. We definitely want to stay here again.

I am so in love with this house! This was our second stay and I can't wait to go back! The house itself is absolutely adorable.The whole back of the house is full of windows and doors that let you enjoy the incredible water views from every angle! You have got to catch the sunrise when you stay, it's so beautiful! We really enjoy the screened in porch. So nice to sit out there and read or watch the boats and birds go by. We only left the house for dinners and to get some groceries. Skippers was a great place to eat by the water and Christophers grocery store had everything you could need. All of these places are just minutes from the house. This place is one vacation where you just feel so relaxed and lifes worries just roll away while you're there!

We travelled from Canada and shared the cottage with our son, daughter-in-law and 16-month-old grandson for 3 nights. The cottage is exactly as described and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful weekend together. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. There’s a grocery store a few minutes away and Annapolis is just a short trip for exploring. The best part is the beautiful, peaceful waterfront location and the many windows and screened porch that allow maximum enjoyment of the view. The cottage host is pleasant to deal with and responds quickly to messages. We’d love to visit again!

I am so in love with this house! This was our second stay and I can't wait to go back! The house itself is absolutely adorable.The whole back of the house is full of windows and doors that let you enjoy the incredible water views from every angle! You have got to catch the sunrise when you stay, it's so beautiful! We really enjoy the screened in porch. So nice to sit out there and read or watch the boats and birds go by. We only left the house for dinners and to get some groceries. Skippers was a great place to eat by the water and Christophers grocery store had everything you could need. All of these places are just minutes from the house. This place is one vacation where you just feel so relaxed and lifes worries just roll away while you're there!

We enjoyed the property. Convenient location and beautiful views of the Chesapeake. Cute decor. Especially enjoyed the deck and screened porch. The beach was smaller than expected but enough for 3 chairs. There were a few maintenance issues that should be addressed (burnt out light bulbs, sliding door locks, etc.) But overall clean and ample space for 3-5 people. Would have been nice if there were extra towels, trash bags, and a welcome packet for guests. Breathtaking sunrises and delightful bay breezes! Close to local restaurants and shops. Very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Perfect getaway spot!

We travelled from Canada and shared the cottage with our son, daughter-in-law and 16-month-old grandson for 3 nights. The cottage is exactly as described and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful weekend together. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well-equipped for cooking. There’s a grocery store a few minutes away and Annapolis is just a short trip for exploring. The best part is the beautiful, peaceful waterfront location and the many windows and screened porch that allow maximum enjoyment of the view. The cottage host is pleasant to deal with and responds quickly to messages. We’d love to visit again!

Nice house on the water. Plenty of space for our family. Kayaks were nice. Not too much closeby in the town, but that is fine if youd like a quiet, relaxing stay.

Very relaxing stay! Our family enjoyed spending the week together! Absolutely beautiful views of the bay! We enjoyed watching Osprey every morning with a cup of coffee! Big grass yard to play games and perfect little beach to access the water!

The view cannot be beat! The neighborhood is so quiet and private. The deck is amazing to sit and relax under the big tree for shade, and enjoy the amazing view. The beach is a little bit different than shown in the picture, but it was still wonderful to sit for hours and enjoy the sounds of the water.

The house was nice and we loved how close we were to the water. Deck and screened porch were lovely. We were disappointed there was no pier as it is advertised on the site. Also we had no hot water in the second bathroom. Did speak with host but no one came to fix it. Over alk we had a very nice time.

We had a fantastic stay! The lovely cottage was quiet, peaceful, clean and safe – and the bay views are to die for!! The host assured that we had all the important amenities plus extras of everything (towels, sheets, toiletries, etc.). The kitchen was fully equipped too! Everything was exactly as described. We spent Saturday morning sitting out watching the gorgeous sunrise and listening to the bay sounds. Although Sunday’s weather was cloudy and rainy, the peaceful atmosphere cannot be beat! We came in from out of state and were able to reconnect with local family – it was a fantastic time. Lots of nearby restaurants with delicious food – Skipper’s seafood can’t be beat; we also had sandwiches at the South County Café – delicious! Although we didn’t have time, locals rave about their breakfast too! I would WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend this gem of a place! I am hoping we can come back again when the weather will allow for kayaking!

The design of this beautiful home takes full advantage of the glorious Chesapeake view, with windows across the entire bay-front. Contemporary, roomy design; fully equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, with minimal stair-climbing once you're indoors. We didn't want to leave!
