About this property
240' Private Beachfront @Kent Island Love Point - Great for Families
Spacious, comfortable vacation home located on Love Point, the northern tip of Kent Island, in the heart of the upper Chesapeake Bay. This beachfront property is adjacent to the former grounds of the historic Love Point Hotel grand resort, where well-to-do families once took steamboats from Baltimore piers to vacation in style (now Love Point State Park). On the coveted northeastern side of Kent Island, you have views of pleasure craft, fishing vessels, and an array of wildlife (including dolphins on occasion) – no commercial ship traffic/anchorage in view from here.
The Home: Large master suite w/private Jacuzzi and shower. Five bedrooms including a large dorm. One bedroom requires no stairs. Fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, a chef’s delight! Dining room, sun room, and two screened sun porches, all with beautiful views. Gorgeous living room with fireplace with heat exchange/blower.
The Property: The grounds are nearly four acres: high ground around the house & courtyard, 1/2 acre tidal pond and wetlands toward the shore, and 240 feet of sandy beachfront. Offshore jetties create a protected lagoon by the beach, providing safety for kids swimming and those learning to kayak or paddle board. There is outstanding bird watching from the sun room and from the northeast sun porch, 40 yards from the half-acre tidal pond on the grounds. The property is directly across the water from Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge. Bird watching is peak over morning coffee or at dusk, depending on the species. Spectacular sunrises over the water. Plenty of space to play and wander. Catch fish and crabs right from the property, and prepare a feast for the group.
The Location & Area: Ten minutes to the seafood restaurants, bars, marinas, and many other activities of Kent Narrows. It is right across the Bay Bridge from Annapolis and 40 miles to St. Michaels. Close to DC and Baltimore, it is only 60 miles from Springfield, VA. Coming across from the Western Shore, you will part with any shore traffic immediately, taking the first exit after the Bay Bridge. It seems like the other side of the world, though, once you arrive on the Island and you immediately feel your blood pressure drop.
As isolated as Love Point is, itself, there is a wide range of activities close by, especially water and nature activities. Or shop at nearby outlets. See “ATTRACTIONS”, “LEISURE & ACTIVITIES”, and “SPORTS & ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES” sections for detail.
Special Notes: Six kayaks and six paddle boards provided, with paddles and life jackets. Large grass field for group sporting activities or RV/boat/trailer parking (100’ x 50’). Four wedding venues on island.
Linens, towels, beach towels, basic toiletries provided. See the AMENITIES sections for many more details on this gem, and hints on the local area.
VRBO/Homeaway Story: Rented repeatedly from VRBO/Homeaway, arranging extended family & friend get-togethers at the shore, in the mountains, etc. Everyone kept asking me to go back to this property each year. Fell in love with it and bought it.
Perfect for family vacations and friend groups for Annapolis Boat Shows, U.S. Naval Academy Graduation, Ring Dance.

What a beautiful stay at Love Point Idyl!! Our group enjoyed every second making lasting memories together here. The views and the property grounds were beautiful and we especially enjoyed sitting by the fire at night overlooking the bay. The house was clean, functional and Hal really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and accommodated. Location was perfect too- far enough away from the action, but all under a 15 min drive anywhere we wanted to go. Would 100% recommend a stay here!!

Thank you Christina, very much. It is great to know you enjoyed it!
This house and location offered our extended family everything we wanted in a great vacation. The kitchen offered plenty of usable cooking/baking and storage items and even a nice assortment of spices etc. The porches and sunroom were great places to hang out, and had lots of places to sit and relax or play games. The kids loved having their "own area" upstairs!The yard is large and the kids were able to play outside. They all had nets that they used to find critters in the tidal pond and at the beach. They especially liked finding so many horseshoe crab shells.Thanks, Hal for providing such great service to your guests!

This house and the property in general have everything you need to have a great vacation. The owner has ensured that all the staples you may need are available and in significant quantities. The kitchen has everything you can think of to prepare and serve a fantastic meal for a large group. My family and I had an excellent stay over the 2025 Thanksgiving break. The weather cooperated, and we enjoyed a week's worth of great days and evenings on the property. The property owner is a fantastic host and quite responsive. We are grateful for the wonderful week we had on the bay at Love Point Idyll. Thank you, Hal!!!

Beautiful home overlooking a pond and the Chester River. A nice sandy beach area with a protected area which is great for kayaking and paddleboarding, which are provided. Very peaceful and full of wildlife. Great watching the boating activity on the river as well.

The house was roomy and comfortable. There were good places for gathering and the kitchen was well-stocked. Everyone enjoyed the beach with the water toys. Evening s’mores around the campfire were a hit. Overall, it was a great place for a family reunion.

Carolyn, so glad you enjoyed your stay, and the house and property! Thank you for taking time to say so.
A memorable vacation for 3 generations of my family. The house easily accommodated 16 of us and one dog. The house is extremely well equipped with amusements for the children, video tapes, all the cooking and baking accoutrements you will need, kayaks, bicycles, linens, towels and crab traps! The house has lots of spaces, screened in and open air porches to accommodate both introverts and extroverts. There are two lovely wineries just down the road with lovely outdoor spaces suitable for adults and kids. Hal, the property owner is very responsive and accommodating.

The house was beautiful and comfortable and had lots of incredible amenities. I stayed with a group of friends and their kids and it was so lovely being able to take them down to the water and make s'mores at the firepit at night. Highly recommend!

Jason, so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your very kind review!
We thouroughly enjoyed our week at Love Point. The house is very well appointed, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of space for our family vacation of 14 people. Even with a large group there are lots of places in the house to find quiet time alone if you desire. The beach front is a great place to have morning coffee, a swim, or go paddleboarding and kyaking. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at the house, and there is a second refrigerator and freezer if you need to keep food fresh for a large group. Our host Hal was always available and attentive. We would highly recommend this house and would stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Hal Frasch
Live an hour away from the property, in the Virginia DC suburbs. I fell in love with the Chesapeake Bay at the age of ten, close to the very spot where this property is.
Why they chose this property
Rented the place five times for our extended family for long weekends, and fell in love with the place. Used to go to the shore, the mountains, etc., but the extended family kept asking to come back to "the Love Point House".
Four acres of waterfront property on an island in the Chesapeake? It is a dream come true.
What makes this property unique
For Washington DC, Baltimore, and Philadelphia area folks, it is so easy to get here. Yet once you drive four miles through farmland to the tip of the island and into this small community, it is suddenly like another world.
