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".

Well kept lawn. With plenty of seating for viewing the river and relaxing outside. House was comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Host was very prompt answering my questions
It was everything we were hoping it would be! The host was great with communication and the property was lovely. We really enjoyed the back deck in the evenings while watching the sunset over the river!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The water views are breathtaking, and the massive deck and private dock made it the perfect place to relax from sunrise to sunset. The beautifully fenced yard was an added bonus and created a peaceful outdoor space to enjoy for us and my pup.The cottage truly had all the comforts of home. It was exceptionally well-stocked with everything you could possibly need from the kitchen to everyday essential which made our stay effortless and comfortable.If you’re looking for a beautiful waterfront getaway, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing escape!
Beautifully situated on the water. Close to restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. House was well equipped with dishes, towels, bedding, etc. Owner Ed was friendly- wine was a nice touch! Beautiful fenced in yard for our pup! Would stay again!
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.

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!
