Saint Leonard Long Beach Beach House
BODHI'S BAY HOUSE - This home is just a few steps from the private community beach, fully stocked with everything you need to have a great time on the bay. An hour from D.C. and a few minutes drive to fine casual waterfront dining at Solomon’s and Broomes Island. We provide beach towels, umbrellas, beach chairs, a cooler bag and a beach wagon. Also provided, on request, booster seat, playpen for the beach and a pack and play a child can sleep in. Kayaks are available (2 to 4), let us know if you need them. You will also find bed linens, bath towels, kitchen towels and all of the kitchen items needed to prepare a fine meal. A door from the kitchen leads to a screened porch that runs the length of the house. Bodhi’s Bay House has an open floor plan with a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, additional sleeping in the “nook” (a trundle under the stairs); two bedrooms upstairs share a jack-and-Jill bathroom and both walk out to a second story deck with water views of the bay and a balcony that looks down on the living/dining room. Parking for 5 cars. You have found a gem on the bay, a fossil hunter’s delight, beach fires at night, unbelievable sunrises, nature parks, vineyards, crab feasts and good times.

Easy community beach access was by far the best feature of this rental. We spent most of our days on the quiet beach just down the street either fishing, swimming or shark tooth hunting. Everything you could ever need was provided in the house as well.
We traveled from Alabama to Maryland to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. While there we invited some of her family over for a small dinner and celebration. We loved the home. It was decorated beautifully and there was plenty of seating and space. We really enjoyed the screed in back porch. The home is very organized and was not lacking in any amenity! The neighborhood is very quiet and while walking to the private beach we met some residents who were very friendly.
Our goal - to escape the noisy DMV!
From the moment we arrived - the neighborhood was inviting, private and quiet right next to the Bay! The house was beyond our expectations!
All of us agreed that Bodhi's Beach House was perfect. The cottage was charming, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. We were delighted with its proximity to the private beach and access to amenities (such as the kayaks and other gear) that made it easy for us to enjoy as little or as much as we wanted. I urge others to check out the area--a gorgeous mix of hiking trails and wetlands, often leading to stunning views of the bay and hidden beaches.
Patti was an excellent host--friendly and responsive, yet allowing us the freedom to truly relax. Thank you for your kindness! We will do our best to visit again soon!
The house was amazing and the short walk to the private beach was even better! Everyone we met was so kind and helpful! We found a few sharks teeth while there too! We can wait to come back!
This is our second stay here. Honestly, I hope to stay here every time we visit the Chesapeake. Bodhi"s is warm and welcoming, feels like I am coming home. In addition, it is immaculate and stocked with everything one needs.
We are women, all over 60. Loved the cottage. The description was very accurate.
The kitchen was so well stocked!! Plenty of dvd movies to choose from for our evening downtime. Plus games galore.
The beds comfy.
And so clean.
Walking to the water was pure pleasure.
Easy driving distance to Annmarie Sculpture Garden, as well as various parks such as Calvert Cliffs.
We would stay again.
We use VRBO about 3 times a year for work and vacation. These were the best hosts we have had. They took extra steps to make our Christmas experience with the kids more fun. They even went out and bought ornaments for the kids to put up on a tree they added to the house just for our trip.
The place is tucked away in a special place. Close to DC and many neat features in the area. They even offered more places and things to do to help make our time more enjoyable.
This house is stocked like your grandma’s house and we wanted for nothing. We have 5 kids and they were able to stay upstairs comfortably and my wife and I enjoyed the downstairs area to ourselves in the evening.
Of all the places we have stayed they truly shine above all others as excellent hosts.
We housed 6 of our crew members while they were out of town for an event our company produced. Owner was easy to work with and house was exactly as described.
House was great. Screen porch was amazing to be able to sit out and not worry about bugs. The house was fully stocked with what we needed after some small grocery shopping. short walk location to the small beach that the kids never wanted to leave. It was a lovely vacation.
The property fit our family of 5 adults and 2 children (3 generations) perfectly. It was well-equipped for all our needs - cooking, beach-going, relaxing, playing games, and reading on the screen porch with bay views. It has an easy walk to a lovely beach that wasn't ever crowded. The property manager is nearby, friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. There is a great produce place not far that also sells local meat, dairy, and seafood - and we ate lots of delicious crab! The whole family wants to go back next summer.
House was great. Liked being able to use the compost bin out back. Only negative about the property is that the grass needed cut. Walking through tall grass to get beach chairs and such from the gazebo was a negative. Also the grass was tall around the grill, and the grill has seen better days. In the future, I would look for a property that wasn't so close to other homes, but overall, being my first time using vrbo, it was a good experience and we had a wonderful time.
We stayed here with our children and their grandmothers and all had a wonderful time! The kitchen is well stocked and we had no problem finding cookware or whatever else we needed. Clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into the decor! I loved the colors, so bright and welcoming! We appreciated the baby gate and used it to block the stairs for our toddler. Our family enjoyed playing cards on the back patio and walking to the little beach by the house. We were able to find a few shark teeth and other fun treasures. It was a nice getaway! Thank you!
This lovely beach home is our favorite rental since vacationing at Long Beach for many years. Bodhi's Beach House is so warm and welcoming. The house was very clean upon arrival, and stocked with everything to meet our needs, from cooking supplies to beach accessories. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Just a block from the Chesapeake Bay, this cottage is well represented as listed on the VRBO web page. My visit was for a family re-union on my Mom's 95th birthday so I didn't get a chance to kayak or swim in the bay, perhaps another time. I would love to come stay here again.
Have stayed at different properties in this community over the years on vacations. Really liked this place. Really nice loft style house that was very charming. Great back porch and upper deck with views of the bay. 2 minute walk to beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. Very well stocked with everything you would need and don’t think to bring, including things for the beach. It was a pleasure to meet Patti as she was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
Bodhi Bay House is a beautiful home and location, with access directly to very serene waters of the bay. Mary and Patty are welcoming property owners who made us feel at home. The house is unique and spacious. We had everything we needed for our stay, even beach equipment and an abundance of beach towels. We would love to return.
This cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you need at the beach. Owner supplies linens (including beach towels) beach chairs and umbrella, kyaks, cart to haul it all. It's a very short walk to the private beach. Lovely screened porch and even some garden tomatoes and cucumbers! The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook for friends and family!
This house was amazing. The photos make it look much smaller than it really is. The house was STOCKED. We marveled at all of the kitchen supplies. It was so clean and comfortable. The short walk to the bay was perfect. The beach chairs were a plus. We loved having the kayaks. It was conveniently located to so many fun places such as Flag Pond and Calvert Cliffs. Steve and his Wife were so lovely. We will be staying again!
