Family reunion paradise

Beautiful views of the Bay. We practically hung out on the screened porch the entire time watching eagles. House was very clean and quiet. Plenty of room. Appliances are new. This is our 2nd stay. We’ll be back again.

Wonderful Bay Access

My husband and my three sons and I spent a delightful autumn week at this bayside property in Scientists' Cliffs! The house was clean, spacious and well supplied with everything we needed. The view of the water was gorgeous! We enjoyed walking to the beach, bicycling through the neighborhood and hiking the nearby trails. We met several of the neighbors, who were all warmly welcoming. We highly recommend this pleasant, relaxing place to stay!

Perfect family getaway in unique location

Wonderful stay in a very unique location. Enjoyed the private beach, great for walks, exploring and searching for shark teeth fossils. Quiet neighborhood, close to nature trails and picturesque coastline. House was great - had everything, including incredible views/sunrises. Would love to return one day.

Cozy With A View

This cozy & charming house provided an excellent getaway for our group. We go on an annual vacation together, but of course, this year came with much different needs and challenges. It was our great fortune to find a place that provided a wonderful stay-put-vacation; comfortable rooms and furnishings, private beach access, and wows with amazing views of the Chesapeake that required nothing more than lounging on the screened porch. We also found Scientists' Cliffs to be a friendly and tranquil community. Our hosts left us a warm welcome, and we enjoyed eating in, jigsaw puzzles, watching the osprey during the day and bats as night fell, long strolls to beachcomb before and after the heat of the day, and easygoing evenings on the porch with wine. Easy to get to and close to town for our one grocery store stop. Plenty of space for the four of us with ample beds, linens, and seating to choose from, in a house that felt homey along with its coastal charm. Definitely a recommended spot for quiet getaways, and if you book, hopefully on your beach walks you find a shark's tooth or three.

The most gorgeous view

The pictures of the view do not do this house justice. It was gorgeous - one of the best we have seen at a rental. We fell in love with this charming neighborhood. Kids enjoyed the bay, the pool, the yard and fire pit. The porch was our favorite spot and we spent most our time there. Well stocked kitchen and house (Dishes, spices, towels etc). Owner was helpful with our questions.

About the host

Hosted by Dan Head

We grew up in the Washington, DC area and have been coming to the Chesapeake Bay since we were kids.

Why they chose this property

Easy drive from Washington, DC. We have been coming here with my family since I was a little kid and we were happy to share that happy experience with our children. Love the private neighborhood and quiet beach. The bayfront view from the cliff is amazing - the pictures don't do it justice!
