About this house rental
Sitting on 8 acres of water front property, Our Home on the Cove is a cottage with 5 bedrooms and room for a family of 4 or 12 to run and play. “The Pines” provides space for volleyball, tag, horseshoes and campfires (yum- s’mores), as well as lounge chairs to watch the water drift by. Swim at your own risk and/or sunbathe on the dock. The fenced in swing set is a great place to let the little ones play. Don’t be surprised to catch a few fish or crabs right off of the pier. Paddling around in the row boat or your own kayak will provide a unique view of our home from the water, and wandering our nature trail will provide an insight into the local wildlife. When all this activity makes you hungry, the kitchen is stocked with enough cookware to feed upward of twelve people; eat at the kitchen table, or on the screened in porch. After dark, star gazing from the dock is an ideal activity, or make a bonfire! Our Home is truly a place to make memories.

We liked the location but it was some harder to find then we thought. The house was roomy and we lived the screened in porch.
We all liked the easy access to the bay and the boating and fishing were great!
We also like jd the fire pit!

We loved the property. We spent the majority of our time outside and on the water. It was amazing. The large dining table was awesome too for family dinner inside.

This house on the bay can fit a nice size family and has all you need. One of the most well stocked places I have stayed. There was equipment for cooking, playing, crabbing, fishing, boating and anything else you could think of. Host was very helpful and communicated very well with all my questions. Great place and will return another time.

The outside area is everything you can ask for! Water front, lovely views of the water, wildlife, and boats. We loved the outside lights. The screen porch, all the seating, the fire pit and the play area were areas we spent most of our time. It made us want to come back during the summer!
We loved the large kitchen space and the two fridges in the kitchen since we had Thanksgiving in the cottage. We also appreciated the well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable.
We did not realize that one of the bathrooms was not accessible from the house and the other bathroom was upstairs. We did not have issues, but should be noted for family who may have mobility issues about having to use stairs to get to the bathroom. Because we had kids and adults, we would have liked another TV in the place for the evenings, but it did not ruin our time. We would stay there again.

Had a great long weekend sailing and partying to celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary. This house had plenty of room to sleep our whole family.

Enjoyed taking out the rowboat, and sitting on the dock watching the flock of geese fly in with daily morning visits. Watched a heron fishing by the dock (daily visitor). Hawks, crows and seagulls also live in area. Had a wonderful front row seat on screened in porch, to watch an evening thunder and lightning storm, otherwise it was a calm and peaceful view of the cove, and overall a very peaceful stay. Being tall, we found the full size beds small for us, but there was one queen bed my husband & I claimed. The 2nd bathroom in basement, only accessible by going outdoors, was an adjustment, but we got use to it, and totally understand if we were on the dock/boats or outdoors with kids, it is a great thing to have a bathroom so close to those outdoor activities with a big family group. Loved the privacy and peaceful setting.

Every year I rent a different lake house in August. This is the first year I've rented a home on a cove in Maryland. This was probably the nicest bit of property I've stayed in over the last 10 years of renting. It had everything. Row boats canoes dock fishing gear life vests volleyball net fenced in wonderful playground for the children toys balls the list goes on and on. The home is just as described. Adequate to have big meals together and chill out in front of the TV or front porch or nighttime fishing on the pier. I understood beforehand about the second bathroom being in the bathroom with only access through the outside and that was fine. Because we had small children, the creaky stairs to go upstairs to the bathroom was a little troublesome. But I personally found where to set them going up and down. That made the least amount of squeaks. Lol. Because I had so many adults (not all at once thank goodness) the bedroom situation was a little bit tricky but we made it work and we only spent eight or less hours in the beds and the rest of the time mostly outside. The homeowners were the best you can ask for. Via text or email or in person, they were all so nice. We actually didn't need them for a single thing but they were so helpful with advice and tips on how to tie a good boat knot or best places and time to throw a fishing line, etc. I thank them for a thoroughly wonderful week stay.

Our 7 high friends made this our home this past weekend and we had a blast and made many memories.
We would definitely come back again.
Love all the hooks in the bathrooms and bedrooms, lots of counter space in the kitchen. The downstairs bathroom and shower were great - it’s gives you a bit more privacy too. The screened in porch was big enough for us all.
We brought a boat and docked it at the property. The launch is very steep but nice to have on property.
Recommend you add fans in to every room and have queen instead of full beds if possible.
Thank you!

upon arrival, I was blown away. The pictures did not do justice to the amount of property we had to host our wedding reception. The home and property were perfect. Every morning I sat outside and had my coffee and watched the osprey, Blue Herons, and Black squirrels in complete tranquility. I could not have asked for more. The children played in the water and did some fishing. We had so much fun. I hope to have an opportunity to come back next year for our family vacation. There are no words that could express how pleased we are with our stay. Thank you for opening your home for us to have such a wonderful experience.

This is our 4th year in a row of staying at the river house. It is an amazing set up for a family of any size (our crew is 10 people), including the dogs and the boat! It's like stepping back in time, with a completely peaceful property, great house and convenient to everything you might need. We will be staying again next year for sure!

Unbelievable view: we came to the conclusion that we hadn't ever seen postcards that as good a view as from the porch.

Nice location, but NO bathroom on the first level. Luckily my 96 year old Mother decided not to join us on the trip, for she would of not been able to climb the stairs or go outside to the basement for the bathroom use. Might want to include that in the description of the location to prevent problems in the future.

Great time with a lot of family. Celebrating my daughter’s graduation from the Naval Academy.

This VRBO home has everything you might need to make a large group happy. The beautiful setting on water and within a lovely neighborhood made us feel safe and had easy access to being outdoors. We spent time making meals, playing music and doing puzzles. The open layout with a large kitchen (two refrigerators!) and family sized table worked well for our gathering of twelve adults. The heating system and bedrooms were comfortable and the water pressure and shower heads worked great. No complaints at all. Only surprise was the drawback that using the second bathroom, meant going outside. It was a lovely space and with a coat and shoes was not a problem. Just not made clear in the description! Thank you again! We had a wonderful time!

This property was perfect for our family to reconvene after a wedding and park the sailboat on the deep water dock. Sailing every day.

My boys really enjoyed this home. Crabbing during the day and sitting around fire pit at night. Great weekend visit.

We loved getting to have our group of friends reunite in this wonderful space. The house is comfortable, clean, and has everything you need in the kitchen for cooking for a large group. We loved sitting by the water and chatting with the owners too! Members of our group are already planning on booking this for their own family events in the future.

Strippy's Shores Price family vacation
We had a great time. Hot weather but the trees and proximity to the water kept everyone comfortable. Kids played in the water and on the playground all day.
We'll be back next summer.

What an amazing spot for a vacation on the water! Great dock to tie the boat to, swim off of, paddleboard and even fish. Would recommend this fantastic spot to anyone looking for a family getaway on the water with tons of activities!

Perfect!
We lucked out with perfect weather for our family gathering. The house worked well with our extended family of 11 plus dogs. The two bathroom situation got a little dicey a couple of times, but definitely not a deal breaker. Kids swam, we used the canoe and dinghy boat, enjoyed the firepit, and spent hours on the screened in porch playing games, chatting, and enjoying the spectacular view. I don't think we could have picked a better house for our family celebration.

Commissioning Celebration
We were blessed to have a beautiful waterside retreat to come home to each day during our commissioning week at US Naval Academy. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

We had a wonderful time at this Lake Shore property. The 5 bedrooms easily accommodated our large family. The property and view were great. The open kitchen/dinning/living area made it easy for all of us to gather together.

Location cannot be beat!
Beautiful location for a large group with lots of outdoor space and a huge kitchen. The house was comfortable. We loved the outdoor fire pit!

We were very pleased with this property. Lots of space to spread out. The porch was a great place to have our coffee in the morning and to socialize in the evening. The dock was a great place to watch the sun go down. Huge parking area. Lots of trees. Easily the best stocked kitchen I've ever seen in a rental, and the cookware was all very serviceable. Would definitely rent again!

Great Getaway
There is much to do right on the property. You can go boating, swimming, fishing, and many other outdoor activities. In fact, we spent most of our time outside.

We had a wonderful long weekend at the cottage on the cove. I must admit that I spent most of my time sitting on the screen porch with a coffee, a book or a glass of wine. I kept sending friends photos of my beautiful view. It was so peaceful and relaxing I could have sat there all week. Unlike me my teenagers paddle boarded, swam and did some crabbing. It’s not fancy and yes the bathroom situation is a little odd but neither bothered us. I would love to come back with friends or more family because there is so much room and we really enjoyed our stay!

We had a great time with our family. We enjoyed so much the pier and the lake. Ours boys had so much fun swimming and playing in the yard. It was so much space inside the house for everyone. Louanna was amazing responding back to us very quickly every time we have a question. We’ll definitely back again! Thanks!
