Great house on Long Haul Creek

Our group included two grandparents, two parents and two children, 9 & 11. The children were in sailing camp during the weekdays, but came home and really enjoyed the swim spa, as did the other family members. Kayaking and biking were the other activities that kept us thoroughly entertained. There were three kayaks for use by guests and four bicycles. The house is extremely well equipped, comfortable and in a great location in St. Michaels. We had a very nice two-week stay.

Amazing Stay

Our time at Kathi's place was perfect for our family of 3 (with a toddler) and two sets of grandparents. The setting is magical - surrounded by old growth trees and set right on the water, we had spectacular sunsets through our stay. The house is so well appointed and spacious including en suite bathrooms to all bedrooms. The pool was a fantastic amenity to have because it was small enough for our toddler to swim in but big enough for adults as well and easy to securely cover when not in use. The wrap around deck is inviting for having meals al fresco and happy hours. The yard is spacious for running around but shaded due to the trees. And the dock access to the water was great, especially for fireworks watching. We can't thank Kathi enough for being so welcoming and sharing her beautiful home with us.

Amazing house

We had our first family vacation (3 generations) in three years due to the pandemic. We all fell in love with the property. We had all kinds of plans but ended up spending much of our time at the house. It was so relaxing; a huge beautiful deck, beautiful view of the water, a wonderful infinity pool and more. We went kayaking off the dock and caught huge crabs off the dock (and Kath supplied everything you'd need to have a crab fest). Kath recommended some great restaurants and the property manager was so helpful in getting us acclimated to everything the property had to offer. We hated having to leave and go home. A truly memorable experience.

The perfect peaceful spot to relax with family

We kayaked, rode bikes and even caught a crab from the end of the dock. Kathleen’s home is lovely with a gourmet kitchen, super comfortable bedrooms, a huge deck and lap pool our kids enjoyed. The location is terrific - very close to town, but a quiet idyllic setting. We highly recommend it.

Great house on the water

The house was clean and lovely to stay in. The spa/pool was broken the first half of our stay but the owner worked diligently/everyday to try and get it working. When it worked, it was great to use! Very close to all the restaurants and shops.

Beautiful Home in St. Michael's

We had a lovely time at this home for a multi-generational family vacation this past week. We brought along our sailboat, SUPs and kayaks and spent a lot of time on the water, and out of the back deck which is an amazing space at this property. The location could not be better - easy drive or bike ride or sail into the town of St. Michael's. Highly recommend this property!

Serene Waterside Location in St. Michaels

This serene and peaceful property was perfect for my family of 4 adults with two well-behaved dogs. We love the spacious yet cozy, homey feeling and the comfy beds. The wrap around deck and covered dining area offered very versatile outdoor spaces and the perfect place for playing cards together at the end of the day.

Waterfront serenity

We have been to St Michaels several times but it was our first visit to Southport. This home is waterfront serenity with your cup of coffee or evening glass of wine. Very lovely, home with comfortable beds, equipped kitchen, fire pit and crab traps. Hilights included kayaking, our homemade crab dip, cornhole competitions and the evening fire pit. Awesome weather allowed us to eat all of our meals, and enjoy cards on the large deck. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful Labor Day getaway

The house was beautiful inside but the view of the water from the deck and the dock was even better. Great location and very close to downtown St Michaels. The owner and property manager did everything they could to make our stay perfect. We will definitely treasure the memories made here kayaking, fishing off the dock, enjoying the deck and swim spa, and enjoying a fire in the evenings. Would recommend to anyone looking for an escape less than 2 hrs from DC.

Even Better Than Expected

It's hard to appreciate the setting from the photos. Apart from one round of lawn mowing and the occasional laugh from a neighbor across the water, it's very quiet. I loved the reflection of the rippling water on the tree trunks. We were fortunate to stay when host Kath was not traveling (staying in her garage apartment). Her extra attention (when we asked) was delightful, as was her puppy Lexi. The only complaint from our friends who stayed in the larger room upstairs was the tight size of the shower. I've used much smaller showers, but didn't try this one. The supply of incidentals like paper towels and food wraps was much more extensive than typical. I suspect that's because it's not managed by a firm trying to squeeze every dime from each rental. Be sure to have dinner at 208 Talbot.

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
I fell in love with St Michaels after I sailed here for the first time. I searched for a piece of land , designed and built the house in 1989. My career was in Philadelphia so this was a great place to relax and sail. I later met my future husband, but since we lived in different states for our first 9 years, this was where we spent our weekends. Plus, he was a Naval Architect so my deep water dock was a great place for our boat collection!

Why they chose this property

It's so relaxing, quiet and private. I love the all the trees and nature and the constantly changing scenery with the occasional boat going by, fish jumping, beautiful sunrises and moonrises. And the firepit at night brings back great memories me of my childhood camping in New Hampshire.
Be aware I don't use chemicals on my lawn because its bad for the Chesapeake Bay, so its not perfection but great for bare feet! Though I do have the property sprayed for ticks.

What makes this property unique

The favorite area of this property for most guests is the expansive private deck to relax on throughout the day and night, enjoying the solitude, the surrounding natural beauty, star gazing in the night sky, and watching occasional boats slowly glide by. Whether you want shade or sun, the deck offers both. The views of sunsets from the dock are magnificent, something to create memories.
The focal point of the deck is the expansive pergola and outdoor dining table that easily shelters and seats 8 people. But if you want to exercise after eating a meal you cooked on the outdoor barbeque, there is a 19-foot heated swim spa with a 2-speed current you can swim against on the deck. The spa can easily accommodate children playing water games and adults relaxing in jetted seats. If you want adventure, exploring, or exercise, guests can use any of the five kayaks with life jackets.
The interior of the house is special for so many reasons that cater to guest wishes. Natural light flows throughout the house, giving you the feeling you are outside in nature even when you are lounging comfortably inside the house. The house interior furnishings combine comfort and coastal style. This is not a sparsely furnished rental property. This is a stylish home that shows pride of ownership, inside and out, accented by original art, with comfortable seating and sleeping furnishings.
This property is in a secluded, heavily wooded location, but still just slightly over 1 mile from the heart of downtown Saint Michaels with its renowned shops, diverse restaurants and bars, and even 3 ice cream stores if you feel the need for a dessert before you work it off in the swim spa, on a bike, taking a walk, or paddling a kayak. The property is on a private lane, ideal for walks, exercising a dog, or using one of the 4 bikes that are available on the property.
This property and this home will offer you a unique combination of style, comfort, and nature that will create lifelong memories
