We pride ourselves on keeping our family vacation home very neat and clean. We will meet you to check you in, give you a brief tour (ie. show you kayaks, life jackets, thermostats, etc), and make sure you are all set for your vacation.
Please tell us a little about who would be staying at the home and the reason for your visit to Kent Island.
Our family vacation home is a special place to us & has been in our family for over 70 years. Over the years we have made many updates to the home including central air. The location is a 3 acre waterfront setting, on Cox Creek, that features incredible western views along with gorgeous sunsets. Relaxing in the 3 season sunroom and watching the sunset is a must! Panoramic views of the water can be had from most rooms in the home. Central location allows for day trips to DC, Annapolis, Baltimore, & St. Michael's. The home has approximately 2500 square feet, a wonderful Great Room with 46' HDTV w/cable, large Dining Room table that seats 10, & eat-in kitchen. There is a spacious Primary Bedroom (queen bed) with a plush mattress topper and attached full bath, Bedroom #2 has a queen bed with a plush mattress topper, Bed #3 has 2 twin beds, Bedroom #4 is also the den off the Great Room & has a pullout sofa bed.
Internet Service is included. We encourage guests to bring a Hotspot in case of power outage.
Relax and enjoy the wonderful Eastern Shore of Maryland and Kent Island. Dine at Harris Crab House, The Narrows, The Fisherman's Inn, Hemingway's, or Annie's Restaurant (among many others). Golf at nearby Queenstown Harbor Golf (15 minutes away). Bike on the Cross Island Trail (5 minutes away). Kayak or Canoe at the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center (15 minutes away). Walk along the beaches at Terrapin Park or Mattapeake Beach (10 minutes away), or dine on the beach at Kentmorr Restaurant (15 minutes away). Take scenic drives to many exciting areas on the Chesapeake Bay including the US Naval Academy in Annapolis (30 minutes) or the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels. Many outlet stores are also nearby in Queenstown. The best thing to do here is Nothing! Gazing at the water is a very popular activity. Cascia Winery is just up the creek from us and can be accessed by using one of our kayaks and paddling up to their pier. Or, Cascia is only a 5 minute car ride away.

Perfect vacation home....large and comfortable.....relaxing, peaceful, close to bike trails, a great homebase for sightseeing many small towns...loved meeting the homeowner, very friendly..
This house was charming and comfortable. The view was spectacular. Neighbors and friendly. The whole place has a serene feel to it. In addition, the owners were very helpful and responsive. We will be back again!
Family lives 1 mile from this property and we needed a little bit larger place to accommodate 5 adults for family traveling to the area for KI High School graduation. Everyone was extremely happy with the location, the house and the water front views.
The location on Cox Creek in Chester, Maryland is extremely peaceful. It is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and has a lovely large yard! This is our 3rd time staying at the house and we look forward to our next visit!!!!
Kent Island is a great place to explore!
We travel regularly and use VRBO properties almost exclusively and I can strongly verify that this was fabulous. While there were only 4 of us traveling this time, the home can accommodate many more comfortably. The hai use was clean, well appointed and comfortable. The views and waterfront amazing! The hosts are gracious, communicative and helpful. 5 ⭐️
Great house for a few days fishing and crabbing by the bay. Very comfortable for our group of 8. The house is as advertised, well appointed and in a great location. Plenty of room inside and out. Scott was very communicative from the moment we confirmed our rental. Highly recommend this house and if you go over the 4th of July weekend you’ll have a great view of several fireworks displays!
This is a great place to chill out with spectacular water views. The home has lots of wonderful spaces to hang out, read, watch TV, and look at the spectacular view. We also had fabulous canoe and kayak paddles up Cox Creek and adjacent waterways. Thanks Scott and Harry!
We had a wonderful stay at Harry at Scott’s home on the bay. Our 4 children range in ages from 1-15, and the house had plenty of space for all of us. Everything was just as we hoped it would be! The house is super clean, and the views from the pier were spectacular. Many great restaurants within a short drive, and everything we needed was easily accessible. We were even able to bring our small boat, and the crabbing was great - whether using hand lines from the pier or traps in the bait. Would definitely love to stay here again!
We rented this property as a home base for my daughter's commissioning week in Annapolis. While the forums warned us against renting a property across the bridge due to potential congestion, we never encountered it on our drives because we were usually driving in the opposite direction. The property itself was very clean and reminded my parents of their childhood homes in a comfortable, nostalgic way. The weather was less than fantastic while we were there which made the sunroom even more appealing as a way to spend some time "outside" but still warm and out of the wind and rain. The Blue Angels show was rained out but my parents were just as happy with the Purple Angels (there's a birdhouse occupied by purple martens on the next property over) show they watched over Cox Creek.
This was a lovely property and the owners are very attentive and communicate well. The location is perfect for peaceful days/evenings enjoying the Bay, and it’s also a perfect launching spot for day trips to other attractions in the Eastern shore and Annapolis. I am very glad we stayed here.
We stayed here while we visited with the rest of the family and after a day of visiting and food and all that goes with that it was great to have a place to return to and rest and relax in very comfortable spaces.
We were very pleased with our stay. A beautiful locale, welcoming home. The host's effort to make our stay pleasant was abundantly evident and much appreciated.
spent the week sitting by the water listening to the birds and watching boats go by. There are multiple attractions to visit within easy driving distance for those who wanted.
