About this house rental

Spacious 5-bedroom (4 full- and 2 half-baths) waterfront getaway built along the natural topography of Fairhaven Cliffs. All 5 bedrooms have the same five-star/A+ view of the Chesapeake Bay! Watch the sun rise over Poplar Island and the Eastern Shore in the distance.

This property was designed for family fun: You'll have a private pier on the Chesapeake Bay, just below your own 35-foot pool. Sit on the pier, in the hot tub, or on the pool-side deck and enjoy the peaceful views of Herring Cove (a protected section of the Chesapeake that is a sailing favorite), while the kids play on the new play structure just next to the pool. Or sit in the waterside hammock and be lulled to sleep by the splashing of the waves. If you want to enjoy the water, descend the 5-step swim ladder off the dock and swim in the Bay! (Or walk in the Bay....the water is only a couple of feet deep, even a hundred yards out.....in the winter the tide is so low you can walk on dry land all the way to Herrington Harbour!) Or grab one of the kayaks or stand-up paddle-boards and go out a little further! (Caution: A bit of strength and dexterity is required to get the boats into the water....)

Inside you'll have a spacious living area -- enjoy the large smart TV from the family room or the adjacent built-in bar area. Large dining room seats 12 with plenty of elbow room. Have breakfast in the indoor gazebo, or on one of the many patios or balconies. Enjoy the fire-pit (usually down by the water but portable if you prefer it elsewhere) outdoor games like Cornhole and Spike-Ball, or the various indoor games and puzzles available. Relax and detox in the 5-person hot tub or the 2-person cedar sauna!

Sleeps 16 comfortably. Perfect for multiple families -- the bedrooms are spread apart, so individual families or groups of kids can have their privacy, while still enjoying the same great views.

Fun and relaxing in all four seasons -- three fireplaces (two gas), as well as heated floors in the dining room, make it cozy in the colder months. (Those staying in the two downstairs bedroom will want to make use of the provided space heaters.)

Convenient to Herrington Harbor South (the Inn at Herrington Harbour) for wedding parties and events.

Best of all: Less than one hour from both DC and Baltimore....and no need to deal with bridge traffic! So much to love here!

Setup:
~20 steps down from the parking area to the front door.
Master bedroom (king bed) is on the same level as the front door -- jetted tub in the master bath (no shower).
Top-floor bedroom (queen) is one flight up -- half-bath off the room, but shower is in the full bath at the base of the stairs (outside the master bedroom).
Half a flight down from the master bedroom is the foyer -- a stairway then goes down underneath the master bedroom, where there are two bedrooms that share a full bath (one with two queens, and one with two bunk beds).
Beyond the foyer, a few steps down, is a bar area, and then the TV/family room. Beyond the TV is a split-room master (queen bed and full-size daybed with twin trundle) with en-suite full bath.
One flight further down is the dining room and kitchen, and a living room with two-story windows (the family/TV room is lofted above).

Cautions/notes:
-Lots of stairs! (Benefit is that all five bedrooms have the same million-dollar view of the sunrise over the Bay! :-)
-All summer rentals are full-week only, and are Sunday to Sunday.
-New rental Summer 2022. If anything is missing, please reach out and we will quickly supply whatever is needed!! We want to do whatever we can to give you a "5-star" stay. :-)
-Exterior surveillance cameras for security (motion-triggered) on the front, side and rear of the house. (No coverage of the pool area.)
-Use the pool, hot tub, dock, boats, sauna, play structure and all other items/areas at your own risk.
-The pool will be open from March through October (roughly -- check with us for availability) is generally unheated. If you would like the pool heater turned on, there will be an additional fee of $100 per rental to get the pool up to temperature ($200 in March/November, $150 from April 1 through May 15 and September 15 through October 31), plus $15 per night. Please notify us at least one week in advance if you will want the pool heated.
-Up to two personal pets are allowed, but only if communicated in advance. There is an additional fee of $35 per night.
-We don't always have firewood stocked for the firepit and fireplace, so you may need to run out to get some.

We run from Ages 1 month to 70 years old and had a great stay at this lovely property! Lots of spaces for my whole family and big warm areas for us to all gather! We spent the majority of the time in the kayaks on the bay and in the pool; we needed nothing else- thank you Jacob!

We stayed the last week of July into beginning of August. The property is fabulous, laid out in a very unique way to provide private space for numerous family groups. We had 8 adults, 1 teen, 3 elementary kids and 2 toddlers. Be prepared to climb steps, inside and outside. However, the height of the house is what provided excellent views of the bay and boat traffic. All 5 bedrooms have a bay view. The house is adequately stocked; could use a few more specifics in kitchen. The pool was large with significant decking and seating. The dock to the bay was kind of high and the only way into the bay was via 5 steps on a ladder from dock to water. That made it difficult to get paddle boards and kayaks in and out of water up over the dock. The base of the bay was all sand/ dirt and shallow for walking around, getting on and off paddle boards. It was no more than waist high on an adult quite a ways out from shore. There were very few fish in shallow, some jellyfish that varied. The wildlife was special; mom and 2 fawns walked around the yard every morning, watched osprey dive for fish, lots of butterflies, skinks and blue crabs. We enjoyed our stay!

Perfect getaway for a 3 generational vacation! Spacious bedrooms, on different levels. allowed for quiet times to take in a book or dance parties when the grands would pop in! Conveniently located for day trips to Annapolis and the National Harbor. The pool, hot tub and dock were most appreciated amenities. The large dining area allowed all 14 of us to share a table for family meals. Nicely secluded with wildlife but grocery stores, small beach areas and nice restaurants were only a10-20 minute drive.

We spent an entire week at this house with 7 adults and 2 small children (3yo and 3mo). We had more than enough space for all of us to have our own areas. The house was awesome, but just a little upside down of a house with the kitchen on the bottom floor, living room on second floor and bedrooms on third floor - but the house is disconnected in a sense with lots of stairs. It wasn’t terrible, but just something to be aware of. We loved the pool and pretty much lived there all week. The kayaks were used ever since day and it was so nice having multiples of them. Only a little challenging to get the kayaks out of the water onto the dock after a ride. The swing set was a nice touch as well for the little ones. Kitchen was nice, and it didn’t have too many utensils for cooking and not many serving plates, but it was fine for what we needed it for! The host was always available when we needed him and was so wonderful to work with! We will for sure be back to explore more of the surrounding area.

I chose to stay at this property for the duration of my wedding weekend. It was really great to be able to spend that extra time with family all together! Getting ready at the house, rather than a hotel was also really nice because we had much more room to space out. The make up artist and hair stylist also complimented the ample natural light and space to work. The pool and hot tub were beautiful! The only downside was a lack of curtains in the master bedroom. The sunrise is beautiful but sleeping in was not an option. It would have been nice to have the option. There are also not curtains or blinds in the master bathroom. There is a beautiful tub that overlooks the backyard. However it is visible from certain spots of the house and therefore I did not feel comfortable using it. Overall a fantastic property with amazing views, and ample parking! I certainly hope to return again!

A few of us girls got together-sisters, cousins, and a few friends to celebrate a wedding coming up. We spent time in the different lovely areas of the house and outdoors. It was the most spacious and gorgeous lay out. A weekend of rain didn’t matter becusee we had to much to do with the indoor games provider, the hot tub, the beautiful kitchen area. We loved our stay!

This house and property is GORGEOUS. Well maintained, beautiful setting. Amazing amenities (pool, hot tub) which enhanced our stay. We had no problem finding multiple places to all hang out and chat- the living room with plenty of seating, the dining room table with seating for at least 14, and outside in the hot tub. It was a perfect setting for valuable time away with friends! Additionally, the owner was STELLAR in communication. I very much appreciated his quick and attentive responses throughout the booking process and stay.
