Rock Hall on the water

*New 2023*
- Refinished ground level (two doubles with en suite full bath)
- Full house HVAC (AC and Heat)

Built in 1804 this beautiful home sits on the edge of Little Wicomico river. Having its own private dock and just steps from Smith Point Marina our home is great for boaters. We also provide two kayaks (and lifejackets). As children, we used to swim off the dock or tie on a raft and drift until dinner. Fishing and crabbing is welcomed! There are a few public beaches nearby if the dock life isn't for you- "Neals Beach" being 2.5 miles down the road, "Vir-Mar Beach" and "Ginny Beach" both across the Little Wicomico River and roughly 20 minutes by car.

Come relax and enjoy the sounds and views of the water.

Rock Hall is a gorgeous Center Hall Greek Revival home. This amazing home has incredible history and has been lovingly restored, mixing it's history with all the modern comforts. The kitchen steps out onto the back porch allowing you an amazing breakfast view to the water, the large living room welcomes the whole family, pups included! We have installed Cable and high speed satellite internet (being so remote, this is our only option). The three TV's are "smart" allowing you to log into your own subscriptions if you please, these are located in living room and the two bedrooms on the second floor (Master and double Queen rooms). The ground level has been refunished and hosts two double beds with a full bathroom. The third floor has two cleared rooms, allowing for blow up mattresses, etc if you so please.

Reedville is a small town with a few restaurants and ice cream parlors scattered about. Kilmarnock is roughly a 20 minute drive and has everything else you could ask for.

Neat house but...
We were scouting this house as a potential place to bring friends, and while we really liked the house there are a few things we noticed that might make us hesitant to bring a larger group. The ground floor was badly in need of vacuuming and there was hair in the shower drain. We never could connect to internet and had no cell service so couldn't even let anyone know. Finally, the water has a highly sulfur odor. Overall it seemed no-one had been in the house in a while and it needed some more attention before renting.

Beautiful Rock Hall
Beautiful house and beautiful location. Unbelievable historic charm! Great property/grounds. We loved the walk down to the Little Wicomico Pier could use a little maintenance-deckboards and secure ladder. Bath towels had stains. Some minor maintenance needs around the house-light bulbs,loose hinges, exterior door handle loose. Restaurants in the area seem to be a little hit or miss....only recommendations from our stay would be pizza from The Dairy Barn in Burgess & breakfast from Fawn's Delectable Cafe in Reedville Still enjoyed the stay and would stay again. 100% would recommend without hesitation

Great Getaway on Gorgeous Property
Had a wonderful time playing games on the lawn, fishing at the dock, and playing poker in the kitchen. Saw a bald eagle, hawks, and a family of pheasants hanging out with a deer!

Lovely Historic Home
The architecture and historic feel of the home was amazing. As noted by others, the top floor bedrooms were exceptionally hot, and the lack of a bathroom on that floor was inconvenient. The basement level has been finished nicely with a lovely bathroom but there was no furniture on that level and therefore the rooms were unusable. It would have been better to be able to use those rooms for sleeping vs. the top level. The second floor bathrooms have been nicely renovated. It's a walk to the river, but once there, we found the dock was delightful, and the onsite kayaks were great! We had a great afternoon and saw only one jellyfish as compared to others who posted. An upgrade to more comfortable furniture in the living room would make for more inviting family gatherings. All in all, we had a great stay!

Beautiful home, couple things to note before booking
We had a wonderful weekend at Rock Hall! We were two families of four people each (two adults and two kids). Two things we wished we were aware of when booking--the two bathrooms on the second floor are only accessible through the bedrooms. If you sleep in one of the third floor bedrooms, you would have to go to the basement to access a bathroom in the night (there's no bathroom on the main floor) if you didn't want to walk through a bedroom and risk waking anyone up. Also, the third floor bedrooms get very hot, especially in 90+ degree days when the house thermostat has been sitting at 75 degrees. The first night we had to take cold showers before getting in bed. It would be much more comfortable it someone adjusted the thermostat before guests arrive so the third floor has time to cool off, and if the owner provided fans. Finally, the dock access is beautiful, but the jellyfish are rampant. One of the kids went swimming and the jellyfish got under his life jacket. It was not a pleasant experience to say the least. Aside from those factors, the house really is picturesque!

A beautiful historic home on a quiet piece of property
We enjoyed our stay in the home. We were attracted to it because it was listed as a historic home. The owners are doing a great job of renovating the home to modern standard, while still keeping the historic look and feel. The wood floors and the stairs are gorgeous. It amazes me how roomy historic homes can feel, yet they are smaller in square footage by comparison to most modern homes. It also amazes me how well they are architected to provide lighting, air flow and natural cooling. We found that ceiling fans and the breezeway worked just fine to provide a nice evening cool down. In addition to the home, you get a large piece of property that sits on the water. We enjoyed watching the wildlife cross the property throughout the day (including, fox, deer, rabbits, and many others). We also enjoyed relaxing on the dock while enjoying the constant cool breeze. If you have not spent time on the Chesapeake or Potomac, it's worth seeing them in real life. We were amazed at how big the Chesapeake is. One tip I would suggest for potential renters looking at this property, if you are NOT familiar with the bayside area: while it was hot in the middle of the day, the breeze off the water kept it comfortable. It did get chilly at night, so it's worth bringing some long sleeves and a pair of pants. Outside play at night, does require mosquito spray. It's not unbearable. It's more of an annoyance. Also, bring a flashlight it you plan to be outside at night. It gets very dark at night.

Gorgeous, Peaceful Retreat
Highly recommend this terrific house for a quiet retreat. The main floor has a simple living room, a huge kitchen for cooking and gathering, and a wonderful deck. The bedrooms were nicely appointed (and VERY comfortable beds). A wonderful stay!
