About this property
Eastern Shore beach cottage get-away
Recently renovated, charming cottage. A sandy beach is right across the quiet street from the cottage. The sandy bottom goes way out in the shallow water--great for kids, playing and launching kayaks. The cottage looks west to the amazing sunsets. Mr./Ms. Blue Heron visits the beach regularly and the ospreys dive for breakfast for their babies. Watch the crabbing boats ply the waters offshore as you enjoy your morning coffee and the amazing sunsets in the evening from the living room, dining room, or lawn chairs.
Rock Hall, MD is a quaint fishing village on the upper Eastern Shore in Kent County. Rock Hall is on Southern Living's 2016 list of Best Small Town's of the South. Kent County is the least populated county in MD, so it is a true get-away. Only one blinking traffic light in Rock Hall. There are also many marinas (sailing and motor boats), about 8 at last count. A surprisingly wide choice of restaurants and entertainment (including live entertainment at the Mainstay & local restaurants) is available. Biking is great as the roads have wide, paved berms and wind throughout the rural, country-side. The Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge is a short drive away and provides wonderful bird-watching, or go crabbing on the docks and bridges on the way. Kayaking, fishing and boating opportunities abound. Chestertown, home of Washington College, with its many restaurants, shops and activities is 10 miles away.
The cottage will be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with VRBO guidance between each guest.

What a beautiful spot to enjoy the July 4th festivities! The property was amazing - the yard was our favorite part, and being right at the beach was wonderful. The home was perfectly equipped to meet our needs and had a great layout for our group of six. We will return!
This house was the cutest little place right across the street from the beach with a beautiful view. The house was clean and had all the amenities needed for our stay. We would definitely stay there again!
Our family enjoyed another stay at this property. Can’t beat having the beach right across the street for enjoying morning coffee, beach time, and sunsets.
Lovely clean cottage across the street from the beach. Great location for beach days and easy walking to restaurants. Can’t beat this location at Rock Hall!
Location is perfect and the house has everything you would need. Kitchen is great and beds are super comfortable. My husband and I have stayed here twice and can't wait to visit again!
Perfect location for watching the sunsets as the house is located right across the street from the beach. Also, an easy bike ride to restaurants and shops on Main St. The house is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend to other guests!
It's a great property, exactly as described. I love Rock Hall, and this location is perfect for enjoying the beach and boats, looking forward to returning again!
The home was spotless when we arrived—so clean and well maintained that it instantly felt welcoming. Every space was thoughtfully set up, from the cozy living areas to the comfortable bedrooms that made it easy to relax after a day at the beach.The house strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, with everything you could need for a stress-free getaway. The attention to detail really stood out, and it’s clear the owners take great pride in keeping the property in top condition.Overall, it was an incredible experience—beautifully clean, wonderfully comfortable, and the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended!

Perfect Little Family Getaway
House was great, fully stocked, clean, can't beat the views. Beach right across the street with safe swimming for littles. Property Manager was not very helpful checking in but other than that, we had an excellent time and highly recommend.
Being directly across the street from the beach was great. Having a nice shade tree in the front yard to offer a cooler location with the same great views was fabulous. People are very friendly in this town. Looking forward to staying here again.
Cottage was clean, bright, comfortable and perfectly located - right across the street from a small beach and walking distance to some great restaurants. Diane was thorough and easy to communicate with. Would definitely love to come back!
Everything was as described. Perfect location, quiet, and friendly neighbors. The home was clean and comfortable. Looking forward to coming back in 2024.
Had a great stay. House was very clean, great location, well groomed yard enjoyed by pups, nice neighborhood, good wifi, good thermostat. Mattresses were all firm and supportive, 2 people w sciatica were comfortable on them. Great views, right across from beach, property as described.
The cozy cottage is perfectly maintained and well equipped. The bay view is as advertised and lovely. The location in Rock Hall is ideal, quiet and convenient to everything. The property manager is responsive and informative.
We had a great, relaxing getaway weekend and look forward to returning.
We had a great stay here - the house was just as described and was clean and comfortable. The view couldn’t be beat, and it was SO convenient to be able to just walk the kids back and forth across the street to the beach. The beach is clean and the water was clean and a comfortable temperature; the kids were happy to swim for a long time, and with minimal waves it was the perfect calm environment for them. Diane was friendly and very communicative. We look forward to staying again!
Our stay at this clean and cozy cottage was very nice. We watched the waves from the comfy sofa, under a shade tree on the front lawn, and with our feet in the sand at the beach directly across the street. Everyone walking or riding bikes by us said hello - a very friendly neighborhood. Highly recommend!
This is our second time here. It's a cozy cottage with a million dollar view. Exceptionally clean, well decorated, we love it and our dog loves it. Everything is well thought out so all our needs are met. There isn't much in the off season, but that's what we like. No commercialism, but the grocery is great, a couple of restaurants, and Chestertown is a 15 minute drive.
