About this property
The Cove On The Waterfront
We are glad to announce the opening of our new place called the Cove., Located or the Chesapeake Bay water shed just minutes from Elkton and Chesapeake City Md. This family retreat has three bedrooms and two baths and will comfortably sleep eight. The kitchen has all new appliances with granite counter tops with spectacular views of the water. All new windows will enhance your water views from the bedrooms or more important from the sun room off the front of the house. For outdoor lovers there will be plenty to do. Grill on the large deck overlooking the water, or play bad mitten, volleyball, and corn hole with the kids. Stroll out onto our 120 foot dock and watch your family launch the kayaks or the canoe from the floating dock. at the end of the pier. In the evening while everyone is tired from a long day on the water enjoy wine and cheese by the fire pit under the spreading maple tree. In the evenings you can watch the sunset directly across the river, watch TV, or just play games in the living room. For the equestrian set we are just 12 miles from the new five star event course at Fair Hill, Maryland.
As our sign says " Welcome Home To The Cove".

We loved our stay at the cove! The house was well stocked and comfortable. The attention to detail was delightfully surprising- the dog bowls for our buddy and the welcome bottles of wine were appreciated and unexpected. The neighborhood was walkable and friendly. We had family visit during our stay and we had a great time playing in the water and the large yard. This stay is human and dog approved!
The home was located in a quite neighborhood on the water. Very peaceful location. The property was a Quaint home. It had access for Kayaks on the river which was supplied by owner. Excellent sunsets. Close to restaurants and Chesapeake City.
We wanted a relaxing “home base” to retreat to before and after our son’s weekend baseball tournament at U of D and The Cove was the perfect choice! From the beautiful water views, to the cozy home, my family had a wonderful long weekend mini vacation. Ray and Ed were quick to respond to any questions, and the house was exactly as expected. We loved our stay and will certainly return in the fall!
We had an excellent stay- house was great and the location is amazing. Property owner and manager were super-responsive to our questions. Would definitely come again.

The house was exactly as advertised with alot of antiques, hardwood floors and area carpets. The living room opened into a closed in porch that overlooked a deck the was right on the water. The side yard was fenced in and perfect for dogs. I would totally stay here again!
This is a lovely home in the most beautiful setting. The home is very cozy, warm and inviting. The bed in the master bedroom is extremely comfortable. And, oh, that view! You could sit there all day and look at the beautiful water view. And there are some nice restaurants in nearby Chesapeake City. The owner was very warm and inviting. A great place to stay!
The property is beautiful. The host is very nice and accommodating! Such a peaceful location with enough adventure to keep everyone off their phones. The kayaks and canoe were so lovely to be out on during sunset. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location, home was well stocked, we wanted for nothing. Many options for outdoor and indoor entertainment, fire pit was perfect for unwinding in the evenings while enjoying the beautiful view over the water. Our teenage boys spent more time without their phones than with them. Grateful for the kayaks and canoe this home offered as well as life vests.
Excellent property at an excellent location. Very close to Chesapeake City, Lums Pond State Park, and Elkton. There's plenty to do on the water as well with a canoe and two kayaks available for use. We are looking forward to another visit in the fall or winter!
