Other things to note The Potomac River is a brackish waterway, meaning it is a mix of fresh and salt water. The Potomac River eventually flows into the Chesapeake Bay and to the Atlantic Ocean. A variety of fresh and saltwater marine life can be found in the river including blue crab, striped bass, blue catfish, white perch, yellow perch, black drum, croaker, spot and more.
If you are planning to go fish you may want to stop by Bird Dogs Convince Store to pick up bait (nightcrawler, bloodworms, minnows, etc. )

This was the perfect cozy beach house. The kids were obsessed with finding shark teeth and exploring the beach, making friends with the local kids. The little creek and trail in the back provided hours of exploring. We had a fire every night with
This property is beautiful on the inside and the online photos don’t do justice to the cozy and well decorated feel of the place. There was plenty of space for our family of four. The kitchen and bathrooms and other areas have been renovated with lots of thoughtful amenities like shelves and hooks for hanging things. We loved being able to walk to the neighborhood beach and hunt for sharks teeth. Good water pressure in the showers and comfy beds. Checkin and checkout, and communication with the host were smooth and easy! We would be happy to return, and would recommend it to others!
We loved everything about our stay. Felt like home as soon as we arrived. The neighborhood was very nice with the little beach. The house had everything you might need, we were impressed with how well it was stocked.
My ancestors settled in the area so we explored cemeteries and visited the museums and courthouse. Ate out at several nice spots.
We will return and get to enjoy outside more. Will try to get back before summer!
Had trouble with living room remote. only complaint. The wifi was fine, my daughter worked from home.
The pictures don't do this place justice; it's cuter in person. It's clear the owners have put the effort into making this a nice getaway. We went to the area to look for fossils. The house is close to Stratford Hall and Westmoreland State Park is about 10 minutes away, but the neighborhood's private beach is an 8 minute walk and full of all the same fossils. Very convenient!
The house was comfortable and quiet. The back yard has a nice fire pit setup with chairs and benches, with enough trees around you to make it feel a bit secluded. We had half a dozen deer meandering through the yard one afternoon.
We had a minor issue with the Internet and the hosts were quick to respond and get it sorted out.
I always like to know what the kitchen of rental places has, so for anyone curious: the kitchen is stocked sufficiently for casual cooking for a family of 4-6. Any more than that and you might need to do dishes mid-day. There is a toaster and coffee maker provided.
For entertainment, each bedroom and the living room has a smart TV. There are some board games and puzzles and a good selection of DVDs, too.
We would definitely come back here again. It was a nice place to spend a few days away from home.
