Great townhouse and location. Recommend.

Golf foursome. Townhouse was great - updated, just nice… inside furnishings, deck and deck furniture were perfect. Views were outstanding. Would definitely recommend. Only issue, if you want to call it that, is the ceiling fans in the master bedroom and top floor seem to have the same codes… turning one off would turn the other on… lol…took a night to figure it out…

About the host

Hosted by Mark Russell

Host profile image
I am in the home rehabilitation business. My family and I live in Bel Air, MD, about 2 hours and 40 mins away from the this property. We enjoy the beach in the off season, more so then in the summer, which is why we have decided to allow others to use it!

Why they chose this property

This is my 3rd property on this street. It's a little different this time because I'm partnering with an old friend on this one. We love Maryland and its beaches!!

What makes this property unique

Has to be the views, as this property sits on the water, on the bay! It backs up to a protected bay, so wildlife is abundant!! Sunset views are sure to keep you coming back!! Short walk to the ocean, and restaurants!!
