We always clean and disinfect the home using extra cleaning recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The extra cleaning will include (but is not limited to) airing and ventilating the property during and after cleaning, cleaning and disinfecting high-touch surfaces after each stay such as tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, handrails, light switches, remotes, wardrobe and cabinet handles, desks, toilets, sinks, bedside tables, and kitchen and bathroom surfaces. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We pride ourselves on keeping the home very neat and clean.

From mid-June through August we only rent from Saturday to Saturday (7 day rentals). Check-in is 4 pm and check-out is 10 am. Summer is fantastic here and very popular!

Please tell us a little about your family, who would be staying at the home, and the reason for your visit to Kent Island.

This home is a special place to us & has been in our family for over 50 years. Over the years we have made many updates to the home. 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 sun room 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 approx 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 Master Bedroom (queen bed) + Master Bath, Bedroom #2 has a queen bed, 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.

How to find out about local events: Search 'Kent Island', 'Queen Anne's County Tourism', 'Talbot County', 'Kent County', and 'Anne Arundel County' for web sites and more activities. Kent Island is in Queen Anne's County.

Fabulous family getaway
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!

A family dream fulfilled
We visited the area because my husband’s mother had grown up on the Chesapeake Bay. He has always wanted to see the home which is part of Sandy Beach State Park. We were able to make this happen. I wanted to find a place to stay that would make our visit special. Scott and Harry’s home on Kent island do just that. It is a beautiful place. Quiet, spacious, and comfortable. Scott made it easy to book the home and his father, Harry, was gracious to show us around and make us feel welcome. All in all it’s a great place where you can relax. It was perfect for our visit. We would love to come back and explore more. Thank you for helping me fulfill a dream.

Beautiful property - we enjoyed it very much!
Plenty of room for a family. Two bathrooms can be a little tough for 6 adults and a USNA midshipman trying to get ready for Commissioning week events, but we made it work and the location was not terribly inconvenient to the USNA yard as it provided a nice, quiet get away from the activities.

The property was much nicer than photos can communicate and it was impeccably clean - a priority for us.
