About the host
Hosted by Patrick and Annie Murphy
The Murphy Point Family Property was established in 1979. Patrick Murphy and Annie Murphy Roberts carry the legacy from their father, James Michael 'Mike' Murphy. Mike Murphy was an engineer who assisted in the design of the Smithsonian American History Museum and oversaw construction & maintenance of many Smithsonian buildings in DC for over 20 years before retiring at the house in North Beach to conduct oyster research under grants from Univ. of MD and Univ. of NC. During World War II, he worked as a physicist on the Manhattan project at Los Alamos. In 1986, he designed/engineered the building to withstand hurricane force winds with a 12-telephone pole foundation driven 34 feet into the ground. A category 4 hurricane (Isabel) has since passed in 2003 without disturbing the solid construction. He also engineered the tidal pool in the rear of the property to attract wildlife and serve as a boat launch. Patrick Murphy is an avid fisherman and retired health care executive. Annie Murphy Roberts is a health care provider.
Why they chose this property
We chose to keep the property in the family because it is unique among bay properties. There are water views on three sides, it has it's own private harbor, and unmatched proximity to the water. It is also less than 2-hour drive from our primary homes, making it the perfect weekend get-away.
What makes this property unique
The deck overlooks the water. The house has its own protected harbor for small water craft. The close proximity to the water allows you to see breaking schools of fish feeding, dolphins, sea rays, ospreys, egrets or the blue heron residing in the back yard and adjacent marshes. Terrapins & River Otters nest in the beach nature preserve behind the property. Otters fish within sight some days. Recently, there have been many sightings of bottlenose dolphins off the property. And otters began nesting and hunting in the waters around the house. Unlike other houses on the street, you may crab or fish from the property. We have five security cameras outside the house for monitoring between guests. Cameras are paused during guest rentals.
