Peaceful Waterfront Retreat for Bird Lovers- Close to DC

This charming, waterfront property is situated on over an acre of scenic beauty. You'll enjoy stunning views from every direction. The large landscaped yard is perfectly shaded with mature trees for hot summer days. Meander down to your deep water private pier to take a swim or throw in your crab pots and enjoy dinner on your screened in porch. An outdoor shower is the perfect way to cool off after a long day on the water.

The Oyster House was built in the 1930’s and was originally part of the oyster industry, serving as any oyster shucking cottage. its original charm is being maintained as best we can while still providing guests with some modern comforts. The home is located on Combs Creek, which is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.

You are welcome to use the outdoor equipment provided (paddle boards, kayak), so long as you wear a lifejacket and assume personal responsibility for your own safety in the water. Any non-swimmers must wear a lifejacket on the dock. We ask that you not leave any of these items on the dock or by the water unattended. Please hang life jackets and oars back up in the dock shed, leave paddle boards on the dock rack, and the kayak should on the back porch. There is also a corn hole game on the back deck that you are welcome to use, we just ask that you put it back on the porch when you leave. You are welcome to use the grill (propane) and the outdoor shower.

Leonardtown is the closest town, and is a walkable historic town with a designation as an Arts and Culture district of St. Mary's County. There are first Friday events every month, many restaurants, and free music and other events on the wharf.

It's a 30 minute drive to Solomon's Island, and if you want a day trip, you can take a ferry to historic Smith Island.

This is a great house, well hosted. It’s as if one is staying in the home of a prosperous waterman of 100 years ago, but with all modern amenities. Great location, with a pier, on Combs Creek.
