Spacious Waterfront Home secluded on 60 ac with Beach and Boat Ramp

Create your own adventure when staying at the Cove House in Southern Maryland. Located on St. George Creek (convenient to the St. Mary's River, Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay); the property is rich with outdoor activities, as well as more than ample room for activities indoors; providing a perfect location for multi-family reunions, get-aways, vacations, and events.
An updated old farmhouse retains some of its original 1940s character with original hardwood floors. The 1980s addition offers ample room for indoor entertaining.
The first floor contains a fully equipped kitchen, mud/laundry room with an additional refrigerator, 1/2 bath, formal dining room, open game room, spacious living/additional dining room, and a private nook with a day bed. The open game room can serve as play room or a quiet reading room. The first floor is supplemented with two screened porches, one off of the dining room with picnic table, and another off of the living room with comfortable seating and side tables; as well as a small deck off of the kitchen that includes an outdoor gas grill.
The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom one is a spacious master suite with king bed, Roku TV, and private porch overlooking the airstrip with a view to Price Cove. Bedroom two contains two queen beds. Bedroom three contains a queen bed with Roku TV, with a view to an inlet off of the St. Mary’s river. Bathroom one, attached to both the master suite and bedroom two, includes a walk in shower. Bathroom two is located near Bedroom one, and includes a tub/shower combination. All rooms have views of the property as well as deer and other wildlife that frequently graze on the airstrip.
Outdoors provides acres of flat open grassy area. The beach and boat ramp are located approximately 2000 feet from the house. A golf cart is provided and a dirt drive running the length of the property provides easy and private access. The boat ramp serves small to medium size boats, and provides access to the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. The beach area is great for swimming, relaxing, or observing local shore birds. The beach area is supplemented with a pier perfect for fishing and crabbing, as well as a fire pit and chairs for amazing camp fires under the stars. We have 3 kayaks (1 tandem and 2 singles) as well as two stand up paddleboards available for your use to explore the vast waterfront, coves, and lagoons that surround the property. We maintain a porta-potty near the beach and boat ramp to minimize trips back and forth to the house.

Wonderful spring family getaway
We had a great long weekend together! The house was clean, large with plenty of room and seating, and fully stocked for all our needs. The property was quiet, secluded and beautiful. We enjoyed nature, the golf cart, paddleboarding and campfire. Southern Maryland is a favorite of ours; thank you for making our stay easy, comfortable and lovely!

Great stay on a dreary weekend
What a fantastic property! We loved staying here and our family had such a great time exploring. Sadly it was a drizzly, dreary weekend but we had one nice day to go down to the beach and the kids enjoyed playing in the water. We loved the variety of porches to sit on and have different views and there was plenty of room for the kids to play indoors when it was raining. Overall a great experience. Thank you!

Beautiful isolated haven
We had a great time staying at this charming house in a beautiful setting. During the day, we swam, kayaked, crabbed and visited local points of interest. The beach, pier and firepit provided fun and relaxation throughout the day, accessed by the provided golf cart. Great spot to kick back and enjoy family.

3rd time coming
This was our third trip to the Cove house in Drayden. The owner has been very gracious with us and has really made my family feel very at home at what is becoming an annual vacation spot for us. My family loves to play at the beach and enjoy the kayaks on the water. This time we also were watching seagulls dive and catch their supper. We had a BBQ supper by the water and watched the sun set. The property is well maintained and the house is in very good condition. The golf cart to get to the beach and back is a very nice perk.

Perfect Vacation!
My family and I came for a 2 day stay to the Cove house and everything was marvelous. We met the owners as we showed up about an hour early and they graciously invited us in. They were very friendly the entire time and made sure we had everything we needed (even offering to chop extra firewood). The house is in very good condition and the A/C worked great even on 90+ degree days in humid southern Maryland. The high point is the private beach. My kids got a chance to to play in the sand and enjoy the sun undisturbed (we did not meet another person in that entire area) and they could make as much noise as they wanted. We went kayaking in a small inlet off the St. Mary's river which all of my children enjoyed. My 3 year old gave us a great summery of our vacation once we got back home, "When can we go back to Mr. Watt's house again?" My wife and I are already tying to plan another trip back.

Theres a Deck Facing the Water he said Use At Own Risk ! Some of the boards loose. Wow! So we never used it too Scared of Injuries... The Ice Machine was Not Working ! Had to buy ice n store in coolers ! WOW ! There are 2 Cats with a Litter of kittens living under the Front Door Deck we had to Feed n Water Daily.THE KITTENS WERE REMOVED BY THE CLEANING CREW WOW! Host doesnt allow Pets ! Wow This is a Million Dollar House,it needs alot of Work Done! Shame he let it go so long! Wow! Then when i get home he sends me pics that was obivously staged . My Wife & I inspected each room before leaving like we have always done ! We been using Vrbo over 20 years now & have an Excellent Tenant Record !

Great Place for Family Time
We had an excellent time at the Cove House. When our kids were asked, they said, "This was a great trip!". The adults feel the same way. It was a very comfortable environment and it felt like home. Rick, the owner, put out kayaks, paddles, and crab pots for us to use. He even flew his plane overhead and landed in the water nearby. That was one of our biggest thrills of the week! The house is close to some nice points of interest: Calvert Cliffs, St. Mary's City, Point Lookout. The beds were very comfortable. We were sad to leave and would really enjoy returning in the future. With the above said, it seems that this is a newer listing. The owner, Rick, seems to really be working to make an excellent experience for his future guests. So, we let him know about some issues we encountered and I believe he is going to improve upon them: Internet speed, Shower leaking, ants in bathroom, dishwasher glitchy, check in was a little confusing because of two lockboxes. Lastly, it bothered us that there was a porta-potty in the middle of our distant view. It seems the porta-potty could easily be moved left or right so that it cannot be seen from the house. There was also an open garage and hangar that had a variety of old, worn-out, rusty tools, toys, and other outdoor equipment. The yard was so big, the owner was so nice, and the house was so unique that none of this diminished our good times and we think Rick is planning on fixing those issue! The Cove House was such a unique and special place for our family. We would really like to return again! If I was you, I would give it a shot!

Our group of 6 guys who have been friends since elementary school (all 60+ years old now) enjoyed another great annual visit to Cove House. Fish and crabs were biting. Sunsets and rainbows lit up the sky. And good friends reconnected, laughed, and enjoyed being away from the world for a bit. We will be calling again!
