About this property

Million Dollar View of the Chesapeake Bay

'Fredelig sted'(peaceful place) is patterned after a Norwegian cottage with curved roof on the outside and knotty pine and birch wood inside.

The bright panoramic view of the Chesapeake from the great room, master bedroom or deck elicits a relaxed, peaceful mood as soon as you arrive. Watch the seagulls or osprey play in the breeze or the dozens of sailboats in the distance while you are curled up on a deck chair in the shade of a huge oak tree. Bring a book or read one from the collection in the book case.

When you are hungry, light the gas or charcoal grill, or the oven, or travel a few minutes to Skipper's Pier or any of the fine restaurants along the river or the Bay. Even more restaurants are in nearby Annapolis, just 30 minutes away.

The children or adults can play croquet, badminton or ride the swing in the fenced back yard. Or they can wade or swim in the Bay right in front of the house.



Annapolis has theaters, playhouse, symphony, pirate ship for kids, sight-seeing, crab cruises. Winery tours and tasting and nature trails are nearby including a stand of huge bald cypress trees with native birds. Pier and boat launch 5 minutes away.

Great view, disappointing interior

As we drove to the property, I received a text from the owners. Because the day had been warm, they had remotely turned the a/c for us. "How kind that they have prepared for our arrival.” I thought. So, I was confused when we arrived after dark, and the porch light was off. This, combined with the leaf-covered flagstone pathway, made the walk to the house a bit precarious for my 83-year-old mother-in-law. The inside of the house was prepared for us, but seemed rather utilitarian – one pillow per guest, one towel per guest. Luckily, there were only three of us, so we snagged extra pillows from another room. The rest of the interior was disappointing. The furniture has seen better days. The chaise in the primary bedroom has a rip in the fabric that has been repaired with duct tape. A plastic folding table is used as a sideboard in the dining room. The following morning revealed that neither the primary bedroom balcony nor the deck had been prepared for guests. The plastic that had covered the furniture was blown into a heap in the corner of the balcony. The deck furniture was pushed into a corner and both spaces were covered in leaves. My husband and I had to move the furniture and sweep the leaves before we could use the deck. To the owners: Thank you for offering your home. Our comments are intended as constructive criticism and are not meant to be unkind. We wanted to love it, but we didn't. No doubt the water view is beautiful, but overall we were underwhelmed.

Chesapeake beauty

Our stay at this home was wonderful! The house is beautiful with a lot of character. Everything about it made our stay relaxing and easy. We spent most of our time on the deck with that beautiful view of the bay watching the osprey and the boats. It was nice to take our floats, kayak and paddling board and relax on the water. There are great restaurants very close to the house. We will definitely be back!

Great place, Neighbors are finicky

We had a wonderful time, house was nice, clean, and perfect location for our fishing charter that was at 5am! However, the neighbors complained to owner saying we were too loud past 10pm. In order to be well rested for the 5am fishing charter we made sure to be in bed before 10pm, so we were confused as to what was meant by " too loud, too late"?

Although there was a minor mix-up with our reservation (on the owner's side), the owner promptly handled it seemlessly. Communication was excellent. The home was clean and inviting. The view was beautiful and the sunrise we woke up to was breathtaking. Thank you for making our stay welcoming.

The house is clean, has comfortable bedrooms, and a kitchen with everything you will need. Beautiful area to take walks and near lots of local restaurants.

Cozy location on the water

As the title says. Uncomplicated, cozy stay on the water with all the convenience of a home rather than a hotel. Generally clean; found evidence here and there of previous tenants not cleaning up after themselves (used soap bars in the shower), but nothing that truly dampened our enjoyment of the rental.

Why they chose this property
