Home by the Bay: Chesapeake Bay Western Shore

Come enjoy the serenity of the Chesapeake Bay at Western Shore. Enjoy the beauty of Southern MD. Listen to the waves and wind. Enjoy the colorful sunsets and picturesque sunrises from the comfort of your bed. Enjoy a large 4-season sunroom. Enjoy bald eagles and wild lives. Grill a sunset meal. Whether passing thru or for some R&R, be surprised. The home is on the cliff with a fairly unobstructed view of the vase expanse of the Bay. Walk 5 mins down the street to the community entrance and enjoy ~2 miles of private beach (depending on tide). Sift for fossil shark tooth. The beaches are on the right side of the entrance. There is plenty of privacy and quiet.
Enjoy the seasons, the storms, and the seasonal wildlife: Bald Eagles (year round), Osprey (Apr-Sept), Skates-rays (May), JellyFish (not so fun-Jul-Aug), and Swans (Jan).

Michael was an amazing host, very responsive and his home had everything you could want or need to have a wonderful stay, which we did! The kitchen was outfitted with all the essentials needed to cook your own meals, going above and beyond with extra touches everywhere. The living spaces and bathrooms were equally as well outfitted, everything worked perfectly. The entire house was super clean and well well-maintained. The view is beyond words and we can’t wait to come back in the fall! Thank you, Michael!
