About this property

Private Sandy Beach & Chesapeake Bay Sunsets

Welcome to the Sandbar on Gwynn’s Island- your private Chesapeake Bay escape. Nestled on a rare private sandy beach, this relaxed waterfront home was designed for easy coastal living, unforgettable sunsets and front-row views of the Bay from nearly every angle. Whether you’re enjoying fresh steamed crabs around the outdoor dining area, relaxing in the Adirondack chair with your toes in the sand, or fishing at night under the light from the pier, this home brings the outdoors and waterfront lifestyle together seamlessly.
The open and inviting layout was positioned so guests still feel connected to everything happening outdoors- making it the perfect gathering place for families and friends.
Spend your days paddle boarding on calm morning waters, kayaking along the shoreline, collecting sharks teeth along the beach, or simply unwinding with a drink while waves roll in just steps away.
This home comfortably sleeps 6-8 guests and features all the comforts of home in a relaxed island atmosphere with incredible sunrise and sunset views.
Come stay awhile, slow down, and enjoy island time at the Sandbar on Gwynn’s Island.

Beautiful view! Proximity from house to beach to dock is awesome with kids! We throughly enjoyed our trip and hope to be back again soon. My only suggestion is more full size coffee mugs and youth size life jackets in addition to the adult sizes.
