About this property
🏖Chesapeake Bay Retreat – Private Beach • Fire Pit • WiFi • 2 Homes in 1
Wake to sunrise over the Chesapeake Bay and unwind by the fire pit as waves lap the shore. With private beachfront access, fast WiFi, and two full living spaces, this peaceful retreat offers room for families and friends to gather, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Bay in every season.
Welcome to The Marram Shorehouse — your private waterfront getaway on the quiet shores of Scotland, Maryland. Just 90 minutes from Washington, DC, this serene setting invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak in the rhythm of the tide right from your doorstep.
With 7 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms spread across two spacious levels, the home comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests. Each floor features its own fully equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and private entrance—ideal for multigenerational families or two groups traveling together. Gather for shared meals, game nights, or movies, then retreat to your own floor for quiet time.
Inside, large bay-facing windows fill the home with natural light and ever-changing waterfront views. Open-concept living spaces, comfy seating, and thoughtful touches create an easygoing coastal atmosphere perfect for every season.
During warmer months, spend your days kayaking, exploring the shoreline, or collecting shells along the private beach that appears at low tide. As cooler weather arrives, curl up with a book, light a fire under the stars, and watch migrating birds drift across the water. Need to catch up on work? You'll find a quiet desk and chair setup in one of the bedrooms—perfect for light remote work or staying connected while away.
Whether you’re celebrating a family milestone, hosting a friends’ getaway, or simply craving a restorative escape, The Marram Shorehouse welcomes you to slow down and reconnect—with nature, your people, and yourself.
We’re proud to share this space with guests who value peace, comfort, and meaningful time together. We hope you love your time here as much as we do.
Important Information:
A signed rental agreement and list of all overnight guests (names and ages) is required before check-in.
Two outdoor security cameras are located on the property: one facing the driveway and one facing the waterside entry and bay. There are no cameras inside the home or in private spaces.
Guests should bring their own firewood and charcoal for use with the fire pit and grill.
Furnishings and décor may evolve as we continue to refresh the space. If a particular amenity is essential to your stay, please reach out before booking so we can confirm details.

About the host
Hosted by Robyne Henry
After more than 24 years of military service, we’ve made our home in Northern Virginia, just outside of Washington, D.C. While we love the energy and opportunities of the area, we’ve always dreamed of having a quiet, peaceful retreat by the water—a place to unwind, reflect, and reconnect.
This home on the Chesapeake Bay is that dream come true. It gives us the chance to step away from the daily hustle and immerse ourselves in the natural beauty and calm of the coast. We love sharing this space with others who are looking for the same kind of escape—whether it's for a weekend recharge or a longer stay.
Hosting gives us joy because we know firsthand how important it is to find a place where you can truly relax.

Why they chose this property
This hidden gem is nestled in a peaceful, remote corner of Southern Maryland, where the Chesapeake Bay stretches wide just steps from your door. With private access to a quiet beach, it’s the kind of place where you can sip your coffee with the sound of gentle waves and end the day with stunning sunsets and stargazing—free from city lights and distractions.
We love the secluded feel of the property—it’s the perfect place to unplug, reconnect with nature, and truly relax. Whether you’re wading in the bay, reading on the porch, or enjoying the evening around the firepit under the stars, there’s a sense of calm here that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Despite the privacy, the location is surprisingly convenient. We’re just a short drive from NAS Patuxent River, and not far from local shops, restaurants, and historic sites in nearby towns like Lexington Park and Leonardtown. You get the best of both worlds: tranquil seclusion with easy access to modern amenities.
This special balance is one of the things we love most.

What makes this property unique
The perfect coastal getaway—two homes in one! This unique property is divided into two completely separate, fully functional dwellings under one roof, offering the ideal setup for multi-family vacations, friends traveling together, or guests seeking both shared time and personal space.

• Private entrance
• Full kitchen
• Living area
• Bedrooms and bathrooms
• Outdoor seating area
Whether you're gathering for a group dinner or retreating for a quiet moment, this setup gives you the flexibility and comfort of privacy without compromising connection.
Guests love how they can vacation together without being on top of each other—a rare find that makes this home especially attractive for extended families or friend groups.
