This location is perfect for soaking in for in the awesome bay views (180+), private inlet for kayaking and paddle boarding, and walking distance to fantastic restaurants. Also enjoyed the towns amenities such as the boardwalk, bay beach, and walking gardens. Open concept worked well for evening at home playing board games and enjoying dinner.

Excellent stay at a prime location! The host, Pat, is exceptionally accommodating and communicative, always quick to respond and offer helpful advice.
The property's location is unbeatable, right on the water with great fishing and crabbing opportunities. We caught some nice bass and blue crabs during our stay. Pro tip: if you're after bass, try catching some small fish in the nearby pond for bait first.
This place is perfect for families with children. Our kids had a blast with all the outdoor activities, especially fishing and crabbing. The host thoughtfully provides fishing rods, shrimp nets, and crab pots, which really enhanced our experience.
While the house is older, it's very well-maintained and clean. All necessary amenities are provided, and everything functions properly. The only minor inconvenience was having just one bathroom for our group.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. The combination of a great location, well-equipped house, and Pat's hospitality made for an unforgettable family vacation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a waterfront getaway with plenty of activities!

This house is beautiful, in a great location. You have one of the few direct accesses to the bay. Great fishing, crabbing, kayaking. The house has everything you need. Thanks to the Murphy's for opening their house, and providing excellent recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc.

Our group of five adults rented this home over a weekend when temperatures soared to close to 100 degrees in DC. We brought our three small sailboats and were able to hand-launch from the private cove and then have direct access to the Bay. Being on the water, or on the wraparound deck that caught the breeze off the water, was an excellent way to beat the heat!
The house was clean, comfortable and very well-equipped for our needs. We used the gas grill for dinners and then walked a block into town for ice cream.
While the marsh grasses are a bit more grown up than in the photos, there was plenty of room for us to set up our pop-up shade tent and Cornhole boards in the side yard.
A word of caution to anyone who wants to swim in the cove - be sure to bring water shoes with straps, since the mud can be sole-sucking! We ended up going in barefoot and encountered minimal shells underfoot.
Overall the house and property was exactly what we were looking for as a weekend getaway with our small boats and we look forward to the opportunity to return again in the future.

We were hesitant to book b/c of the 1 bathroom but this was a great place with lots of special amenities.

You absolutely can’t beat this location. We went paddle boarding, went to the beach every day, and took our small boat out that we were able to put in right there in the backyard. We watched the sun rise over the bay and saw a full double rainbow as the storm rolled out. My kids fished, crabbed, and my husband and I drank wine on the porch every night after bedtime. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, and the views were fantastic. We’re definitely planning to come back if we can!
5.0
The property is in a great location and had easy access to the bay and the beach. We really enjoyed the opportunities to bike, kayak and crab.
5.0
This was the perfect place for a relaxing family get-together, with a lovely spacious living area on the second floor, and a wrap-around deck which meant that you could always find the sun, shade, or shelter from the wind. There is instant access to the water - first in a very sheltered lagoon and then in a bay - so great for having fun on the water with a variety of kayaks, SUPs, and other floating devices available.
The owner was very quick to respond to questions. The house is located right at the end of North Beach so was quiet, but only a short walk to shops and restaurants. We had a fun week there.
5.0
Quick vacation with my three daughters in July. Amazing views. Felt secluded. Cute town. Simple home which is all we needed. The kayaks were easy and awesome to use. Only downfall for us, it was during a heat wave and swimming was limited because of jellyfish. I didn’t mind a sting here and there but my daughters weren’t having it. Would definitely go back though when it wasn’t 100 degrees. Great host.
5.0
I was in very dire need of a weekend away and this beach house was absolutely perfect. It’s unpretentious and well-loved, surrounded by water, very comfortable and SO RELAXING! The owner was extremely responsive and very pleasant. I’ll definitely make my way back!
5.0
When searching for a vacation location we wanted something near the water. Well, we found the perfect house!
Perched just feet from the shoreline, the bay view the house provides is perfect in every way. When sitting on the deck one enjoys an unobstructed, virtually 180 degree view, of the bay. I especially enjoyed getting up early enough to watch the sunrise. Just a cup of coffee and sitting on the deck was all I needed. What a beautiful sight!
Another plus is the house sits at the end of a one way street. It’s very quiet.
If you’re a bird watcher than you won’t be disappointed. It sure was fun watching birds dive for the water looking for a snack. I even got a glimpse of the bald eagle.
The location is also close enough to Washington, DC to make a day trip to see the our nation’s capital. It was easy for us to get there by car and well worth the trip.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with gorgeous views and a great location you should consider this property. We just loved it.

Beautiful Spot on the Bay
The location is incredible. Beautiful views and a quaint, sleepy beach town with a few restaurants and a small, local beach. About an hour to DC. Our family of 4 stayed for a week. The house was sufficient for our family of 4. Paddleboarding and fishing from the backyard became a favorite of our 14 and 15 year old kids, another favorite was walking into town to go to the bakery in the morning or ice cream in the evening.

Perfect getaway
We loved staying at this house right on the bay! Beautiful views all day and our own private water access. The kids absolutely loved trying out the kayaks and paddle boards! The only thing that could have made the week better would be if we didn’t get a jellyfish invasion but we dealt with it and still absolutely enjoyed the house and everything North Beach had to offer! It was the perfect location, private but still so close to everything!

Excellent Beach Front Property
This house was an amazing find! The location was perfect and within walking distance of so many things. If the weather had cooperated I would have taken full advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards, but could only stare at them wistfully while listening to the rain beat down on the deck. 😊
My friend staying with us did have an allergic reaction to something on the railing, but we have no idea what. Could have been anything from the salt water to the pollen that day. None of the rest of us had an issue though and it was still an awesome stay!
Thanks for providing such a great space for us to enjoy Patrick and Anne!
Oh, and as a funny anecdote... we have relatives who were staying at a much more expensive, much larger rental a few blocks away. And even though the place was impressive, it lacked in the many luxuries that we were provided... such as wash clothes, measuring cups, and paper towels! You guys have this hosting thing down perfectly!

Can't beat this location
The property is located at the end of the beach walk with views of multiple bodies of water. Because it's surrounded on three sides by water it's got a private feel, but it's within walking distance of the boardwalk, beach, and multiple restaurants, wine bars, and small shopping venues. The kitchen is well-equipped for a vacation home. Beds are comfortable. WiFi was adequate for two remote workers plus two occasional users; it briefly (for a few minutes) went out on us maybe once a day, but it was always back quickly. If I could give the owners six stars, I would -- they were communicative, helpful, and provided much-appreciated extras such as a starter supply of common needs so that instead of having to buy everything we only needed to buy what needed replacing -- for instance, they left two rolls of toilet paper, we bought a 4-pack, and we ended up leaving two rolls. Ditto stuff like trash bags, paper towels, ziplocks, spices. Our family would definitely stay at this VRBO again.

Amazing landscape
We loved this home. Cleanliness was incredible. Nothing left to chance for you to use and enjoy.
Loved sitting on deck, especially mornings and soaking in the view and sounds of a waterfront home. Definitely a place for a couple get away or I could only imagine a family having such a wonderful time here.

Perfect family vacation
We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect spot to escape to. The private beach and cove was Ideal for my little boys to play and swim in. The older kids really enjoyed kayaking up and down the bay. The weather was perfect and the view from the wrap around deck could not be beat.

This place is perfect.
This place is absolutely perfect for a family with young kids. The water access is ideal because it’s deep enough to swim and play but not endlessly deep so kids can build confidence and I don’t have to be worried about safety the whole time. I’m a GenXer and I felt totally at home in the house because it felt like a cross between the house I grew up in and my Grandad’s farm. It has everything you need to have a great stay and everything is clean and well kept. The hosts were super responsive when we did have questions or need something. The garage has any kind of water play toy you’d need, from kayaks to paddle boards to chairs and umbrellas. I have 0 complaints except that I have to leave.

Just what we needed
My family of five, including two teens, fit perfectly in this charming house. Perfect for Covid times or not, limitless water activities..who knew my 15 year old video gamer loved to fish? Will definitely go back for a slower pace again!

Great for a getaway
We stayed five nights and I didn’t want to leave. The location of the property is at the end of a road, and has direct access to the bay via a tidal pool in the back. Our kids enjoyed trying out kayaking and paddleboarding with the equipment at the house. The water is so shallow that it was perfect for them. The sunrises in the AM were beautiful, and watching the storms in the PM were fun too! Easy walk to pier - North Beach was closed for COVID during our stay. We made many happy memories and hope to be back.

Social Distancing with a view
We were looking for a place by the water where we would not be in crowd. The house was comfortable and very well equipped. It as shame that the Beach in town was closed but we had our own lagoon for the kids. They enjoyed kayaks, paddle boards and fishing. House was perfect for our purpose

Gorgeous Views
It was so much fun to stay here. There is a beautiful view of the bay from anywhere in the house. They provide many amenities, including kitchen supplies, bikes, and kayaks, and were responsive to emails/questions. It’s a nice place to relax.

Amazing location!
Our family had the best time visiting North Beach and staying in this property. The location of the house is perfect; so nice to have direct access to the water. The small town of North Beach is only a short walk away. This will be our go-to weekend get-away spot!

Wonderful stay!
We had an incredible long weekend here. Annie was the best host I have ever experienced. All my questions were answered in minutes and she was so generous. The house is just feet from the water with a private entrance to the water. We had a fantastic time with the 3 kayaks and two stand up paddleboards. The water was perfect, also for swimming. There is a protected cove that is very shallow. Sitting on the balcony, you were almost on top of the water. The house was very comfortable and all the basics were provided. We hope to be back!

What a location!!
The pictures don't lie. Very much enjoyed our stay. The property was well furnished with everything we needed. As the title says, the location is perfect and right on the water. The owner Pat was great to deal with. We would certainly stay here again.

One of the Best Vacations Ever
We have two teenagers who almost never agree on anything. However, they both agreed that this is one of the best vacations they have ever had. There was literally something for everyone. The amenities that this property offers are exceptional. We all enjoyed riding bikes into town and kayaking out on the Bay. The home was extremely warm and inviting and had amazing views from every window. In addition, the kitchen had everything that we needed to be able to eat most of our meals at the house. However, we did go out to enjoy some of the wonderful local eateries. Pat, the owner, was so incredibly easy to work with, very accommodating and was very responsive to any question I had. Before our trip ended, we were already talking about how soon we could come back. Thanks Pat for sharing your home!

FANTASTIC views ON the water!
Your own private paradise! Owner provides Kayaks, Paddleboards, Bikes, Crab Traps & Fishing gear, with all the safety equipment. We spent the warm days paddling the beautiful Chesapeake, enjoying romantic thunder storms in the evening, and dining at eclectic eateries like Ketch-22, and Hook & Vine. The whole scene is walkable--we didn't move the car all week. The flat screens were perfect for world cup viewing in bed or living area. We'll be back again!

Perfect Location
The location of this property can’t be beat. The views are amazing and it’s a pleasant little walk to town and the boardwalk. House is clean and well supplied for any cooking you may want to do as well as any recreation that you may want to take on, beware of the red kayak however, it leaks.
Owner was friendly, helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here!
