A breathtaking secluded luxury waterfront cottage, complete with a private pier.
Ivy Cove is situated within the Soundings neighborhood, a family-oriented community exclusively tailored for boating enthusiasts. The tranquil waters of Mill Creek, renowned for its exceptional natural/safe harbor, offer access to Chesapeake Bay. Within a mere ten-minute boat ride, residents can access the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay. However, from the vantage point of Mill Creek, the surrounding waters evoke the serene ambiance of a picturesque Northern Lake, nestled amidst the verdant pine forests.
A newly renovated waterfront cottage with a warm charming appeal capture the unique features of this 1965 home. Take in the beautiful view of Brooks Cove, an inlet off of Mill Creek, from the large wrap around porch while enjoying the morning sunrise. Spend your afternoons paddling around the creek inlets and the evenings relaxing by the fire pit watching the bald eagles sore over the cove. Or take a short ride to beautiful Solomon’s Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomon’s Pier, or take a stroll down the boardwalk to Cone Island.
There are two security cameras on the property to ensure our safety. The first camera is situated on the front corner of the house, facing the driveway. The second camera is mounted on the beam above the porch, facing the fire pit and the dock. Both cameras have their audio turned off, and they don’t face inside the property.

Our stay couldn't have been better. The house was comfortable and well stocked, the games were fun and the outdoor space was incredible! Definitely on our list to come back to and highly recommended to anyone looking to stay in the area.
We really enjoyed our stay at Ivy Cove. The house was clean and updated. We enjoyed going back in time with the vintage arcade games. The setting is beautiful and even at the end of November we found a nice day to go kayaking on the river.

Such a nice home on the water at Mill Creek. Our group enjoyed crabbing on the dock and relaxing on the covered porch. House is very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and is close to Calvert Cliffs and Solomons Island. The owner KJ lives close by if you need anything. Would definitely recommend. Hope to return sonn.

The home and property couldn't have been more beautiful and peaceful! Every detail was looked after for a comfortable stay and felt immediately at home. The views were stunning and the home and outside areas had so much privacy, despite being only a few minutes away from anything you might need. 10/10, would definitely stay again!

There is no better place to unwind and chill. Sit on the porch, enjoy the natural sights and sounds of the cove. Kj makes sure the place is super comfortable, clean and fun. Enjoy kayaking, crabbing, fishing, cornhole and just simple relaxation, we love this place!

The property was beautiful and exactly as pictured. Secluded location with everything you would ever need to enjoy the landscape. We had kids with us and it was a perfect set up for water activities. The owner KJ was so very nice, super responsive, and went above and beyond to assist us when we needed it. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return one day soon.
The retreat we all needed. A wonderful stay with great communication and superb amenities.

It was a true pleasure to host Jamie and her friends at Ivy Cove and to hear how much they enjoyed the home. They were very respectful of the house rules and left the home in impeccable shape upon departure. I would highly recommend Jamie and her friends to any host that has the privilege of her inquiry and I look forward to their return!
A wonderful house. Great location right by the water, and very pretty inside. A quiet spot for kayaking and fishing off the pier. Terrific getaway for the family

It was my honor to host Jennifer and her amazing family at Ivy Cove. The home was left in impeccable shape upon departure and I would highly recommend Jennifer to any host that has the privilege of her inquiry.
The lake home was absolutely beautiful and KJ was very helpful during our stay. I would definitely recommend this home for families and friends who want to make great memories together.
Property was wonderful, exactly what the family was looking for during the long holiday weekend. Very clean and secure place to stay, especially during a pandemic. Very secluded with water access, easy drive to Solomons and local parks. Highly recommend this property.
This property was exactly as described. The owner was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, we did not get to use the fire pit as it was rainy and cold. I would 100% stay here again.

Ivy Cove is a beautiful house and was the perfect escape for my family of four during Spring Break. The location is private and quiet but still very close to grocery stores and shopping. There was also plenty of firewood to enjoy a cozy outside fire in the pit.

Jillian and her family were very respectful of my home and left it in impeccable shape. I would highly recommend them to any other host!
The house was in tip top shape. The property had great views and all the amenities you could want. We used the fire pit every evening, as well as the crab trap and swimming off the dock

We had a wonderful stay, house is well equipped, clean, and great location. Kids lived fishing and catch crabs in the traps off the dock.
Host is very responsive.
Highly recommend!
We spent New Year's weekend at Ivy Cove and loved every minute of it. The house had everything we needed (shout out for having Old Bay!). The location was perfect and the views were outstanding. KJ is an awesome host. I can't wait to come back in warmer weather and enjoy the kayaks!
