'Saddle Beach' is on Dorchester County's exclusive McKeil Point neighborhood on the Little Choptank river, just off the Chesapeake Bay. The property has a mile-wide view and a 200' dock. The home is exceptionally furnished, with 4200sf of living area with another 1200sf of open and screened porches.
6 bedrooms and a sleeper den with sofa-bed and bath with walk-in shower. A large eat-in kitchen, two full size refrigerators, massive open entertaining area with 3 living rooms and a study. The 3rd floor is designed for kids with a recreation area, wide dormers, a full bath, and two bedrooms with 8 beds. An in-ground pool is off the porch & the home has beautiful millwork and exotic, reclaimed hand-cut wide-plank walnut floors. A lovely tidal pond is just off the living room.

The Property:
The perfect Family Retreat!
Gorgeous wrap around porches include a screened outdoor eating area overlooking the pool. The compound was designed as an owners' dream, and includes a pool, ample decks for entertainment, a gorgeous beach, private natural setting, and walkways to the adjacent marsh. Towering pines, aromatic cedars, and marsh grasses dot the landscape. There is a rustic tidal pond next to the house providing rest for swans, ducks, & geese. The dock stretches 200 feet into the river with 3 berths for boats and seating for your enjoyment. Wildlife abounds; you may find yourself crabbing and fishing all day. Yes, our crabbing is excellent!
The unique, secluded neighborhood consists of a single, mile-long road on its own peninsula with Dorchester's finest homes, stretching far into the Little Choptank River. The quiet street invites scenic bike rides or long walks to watch the sunsets.
Mosquito Control measures provided for your comfort,
The Area:
A local country store, restaurant and boat ramp is 5 minutes away and the Chesapeake Bay, with its fishing, cruising, and endless sunsets, is out your window.
The town of Cambridge is ten minutes away, with a pre-civil war, Victorian inspired downtown, and countless restaurants and shops. It’s not much further to visit the Maryland towns of Oxford, Easton, or Saint Michael's to walk the streets, take in the restaurants, or visit art shops and galleries.

On the property, relax! Go no further than the shoreline to find great swimming, crabbing, fishing, sunning, or boating. The sandy beaches are a luxury all year long, and the heated pool provides for a warm swim during those colder days and nights in May and September/October**. Endless porches and a stone fire pit is the centerpiece for many nighttime get-togethers.
In the neighborhood, bike or walk down the neighborhood's 'private' peninsula and enjoy marvelous sunrises and sunsets among the finest of Maryland's summer and weekend retreats.

Sports both on water and land.
Fishing Creek provides wide, almost endless passages for quiet kayaking, fishing, or pleasure boating. The waterskiing is excellent. The other side of the peninsula faces the Chesapeake Bay and Madison Bay and provides an open door to sailing or to the many top fishing spots.
In town, there are boats to rent for a sail on the Choptank. Bike tours from all over the world flock to the eastern shore because it is flat, the roads are good quality, the traffic is light, and the sights are endless. Blackwater Refuge offers world-class nature views, and you can also bike in Easton, Saint Michaels, and Oxford, and there are many bike tour maps available to the visitor.
There are two fantastic golf links nearby. The River Marsh course at the Hyatt Chesapeake is renowned. Hog Neck (18 miles) has a four-star rating from Golf Magazine. There are three additional courses between starting just nine miles away.
"Hot Tub" as listed is a Jetted Jacuzzi tub in the Master bath. We have a Steam Shower as well.

We enjoyed our stay a great deal. Jon is a great host, the house was comfortable and spacious, and the view of the night sky from the pier was spectacular.

A big, beautiful home with a well stocked kitchen, plenty of beds and space to gather! This home boasts a wrap around porch, a built in pool, a pond and a 240' dock over the Chesapeake bay! From the dock, we fished, crabbed and caught the morning sunrise! The canoes, kayaks and bicycles provided were well used and appreciated. We are 8 adults and 12 children ranging from 1 year to 14 years old. A memorable, fun time was had by all. Communicating with Jon was always a pleasure. Thank you for sharing this amazing home.

Wonderful house. Well stocked with supplies. Great open floor plan along with a couple separate spaces on the main floor. Our group had 7 adults and our eight grandchildren six and under. Pool has gated access which was a key feature with all our little ones. The owner provided much info regarding things to do in the area. The bedroom spaces worked out great with our mix. We really enjoyed the crab traps and the dock for fishing. It was mostly casting practice but the kids loved it. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening. It is a relatively secluded location but within a couple miles of a country store and seafood market and about 10 miles from the town of Caimbridge with a Walmart for any shopping needs. I would highly recommend this for a family vacation like we had.

What a beautiful property! We did a quick couples getaway and couldn’t have had a nicer weekend. The house is a beautiful, wraparound porch country home. Floorplan was really well designed and the decor was spot on. Looking forward to coming back next fall as well!

Spectacular! That sums up this gorgeous house and property. What an awesome spot with water all around. It felt like we were away from it all; but also close to the quaint town of Cambridge and beauty of Blackwater refuge. Jon was great to connect to and responsive to every question and need. We were 14 college friends now in our 60's and the house never felt crowded. There are so many spaces inside and out to gather. The kitchen was well stocked and the 2nd frig came in handy. Jon set us up with his crab guy and we started with a bushel of hard shells. The leftovers were made into the best crab cakes ever!! This place is extra special, we loved it! Thank you!!

We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The house was large enough to accommodate all 11 of us and had enough space that we didn't feel on top of each other. The kids loved the 3rd floor zone. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for a fun time. The dock was perfect for catching fish, crabs, and even rays. The kayaks were great for early morning or late afternoon rides. The pool was huge and allowed us to cool off. The host was very responsive to our questions. We enjoyed it so much we've already booked the house for next year.

I was looking for a river vacation with my family…something different than the Outer Banks we usually do. We ended the river and dock the most. The kids crabbed off it with the pots all week and caught 8 keepers. We were able to keep the boat tied there for our early morning crabbing and fishing trips. It would have been better if we could have used the boat lift there…we had a pretty good storm and heavy rain that had us out there bailing out the boat in the midst of the heavy rain around 9:30 PM. Caught 1 1/2 bushels of VERY nice hard crabs over the course of our stay that were so clean and delicious. Caught a few fish, but nothing big. The pool was also a favorite. Air conditioning was excellent and the tubs are all excellent. My bed was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need and the extras they provide was very nice: toilet paper, soap, p towels, etc. We had a few glitches but our host was excellent in dealing with those issues very quickly. Improvements would be to not have us clean and put away all the towels before we left. That was a problem.
