Contemporary luxury home with spectacular water vistas

Located just over an hour's drive from Washington DC on Maryland's southern shore, this property in historic Charles County is a perfect retreat for a week or a weekend. This luxury waterfront rental offers 4000 sq. ft. of living space with 4 bedrooms, including 2 master suites each with 42" HDTVs, and 3 1/2 baths. The first floor features a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with granite countertops (foodies take note), a master bath with jacuzzi, a Great Room with gas fireplace opening to the deck and just steps away to the Potomac River and a private dock. The second provides 3 bedrooms, each with water view, a welcoming family room with 60" HDTV, and an additional deck. The third floor loft offers a queen bed, an additional sitting area for quiet conversation, and a gaming locale. The private pier is great for fishing, swimming or simply witnessing the breathtaking sunsets over a 6 mile wide stretch of the Potomac River. This modern property features gleaming hardwood floors throughout and enjoys the efficiency of a geothermal heating and cooling system. The expansive sunlit interior provides a quiet ambiance with dramatic views of the southern Potomac.

Fantastic!

We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous property over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house is very spacious and the kitchen is well-equipped. The views and natural light are second to none and loved the small town feel of Cobb Island. We hope to come back again soon! Thank you!

Magnificent

So elegant comfortable spacious & quiet. What a great place to escape and enjoy the water. We rented several houses for a family reunion. Each house hosted dinner one night. This house was by far the most convenient for cooking and serving a large meal. The dinner table easily seats 10 and can squeeze in 14 with a couple folding chairs. It’s a wonderful house and given the chance we would never leave.

Had to leave two days early due to noise

The house was fine, but we cut our stay in half because of extreme noise and discomfort. The Dahlgren Naval Surface Weapons facility is directly across the bay from the house, and it literally was shaken from floor to ceiling by heavy weapons testing that lasted from 8am to 5pm. A local resident said that the noise was much louder than on "his side" of the island and that windows are often replaced on the island due to the extensive concussions and blast waves. We had our dog with us (a 65-pound Goldador), and he was terrified. The noise issues continued after the weapons testing finished, when a homeowner cranked up a leaf blower just outside our bedroom windows each night we were there. The house has minimal window shades--the first floor bedroom is missing a shade on the window that looks directly into the next door patio and bedroom, which makes privacy (and taking a nap in a dark room) impossible. Most of the restaurants/eating establishments in the listing are closed or no longer in business. We were looking forward to using the Foosball table, but the playing surface was broken and sagging. Although the owner's notes included the possibility of an odor in the well water even though the water was safe to drink, the sulphur smell when we showered was really bad--I recommend the use of a charcoal block filter to help with the smell. We had planned our four days to celebrate my wife's birthday, but we decided to leave two days early and celebrate at home.

The best home on Cobb Island

The good news is that the house itself is beautiful. We had plenty of room for all our guests and the views are gorgeous. Everyone enjoyed their visit and we would highly recommend this home for a nice getaway. The Island is very cute and it was so convenient to the wedding venue. The bad news: We had multiple communication problems with the owner. He didn't respond to any of my emails which I believe is unacceptable. We had to call him in order to get a response. Also, the house had not been cleaned when we arrived. The previous guests had left the house a mess, sheets and towels were not washed, the bathrooms were dirty along with the floors. We had to call the owner and he offered to clean the home but it would be at least 2 hours. We had the rest of the guests arriving so this was unacceptable. We had to clean the whole house and he refunded me the cleaning deposit. I would think he would have called or emailed me apologizing for this HUGE inconvenience, but I didn't receive one. I hate to leave a negative response because the home is so beautiful, but I hope the owner is better at communication from this point on.

The perfect house for our getaway

We recently stayed at this home for a week-long getaway. We had folks come in from all around the country and once we reached the destination... we were so thankful that the house and all the descriptions on HomeAway matched exactly. The house was perfect for our needs. Views from all over the house out to the water were spectacular. The kitchen and dining area ideally suited our group of 8. We never felt that we were in each other's way. We appreciated all the extras around the house: Bikes, yard games, deck chairs, movies, gaming systems, etc. Cobb Island may not be a destination for us in future trips, but if we could clone this house and take it to other waterfront locations, we would do it in a heartbeat. There were only a few negative things: The outdoor grill was functional but not easy to use as the valves malfunctioned making it difficult to control temperature. The outdoor picnic table was not safe for more than a couple people to sit on. There were a lot of bugs and cobwebs around all the entrances to the house which did not appear to be taken care of in several weeks. The yard had a lot of weeds, and it bugged a few in our party so much that they went out and pulled them out themselves. Lastly, we reached out to the owners via email on three occasions to request if our dogs would be welcome (the house is listed as pet-friendly and there are listed prices within the rental contract). Sadly, we never received a response, which unfortunately added expenses for boarding.

A time to celebrate

This is our 3rd time renting this beautiful house. That should tell ya something . Meredith continuously reigns supreme as the hostess with the mostess. She’s attentive to the customers needs before they even step foot onto this property. Everything you will need is there and if not…..the family dollar is up the street and Walmart is across the bridge. We enjoy our trips to Walmart. We celebrated Sep birthdays, a farewell and attended a wedding in Swann Point. We enjoyed the pier. We purchased crabs from Captain Charles and they were delicious!!! We fished. We had a wonderful time. This house is like no other on the island. The architect of this house is brilliant. We LOVE THIS HOUSE!!

Beautiful home and lovely family holiday

Our vacation week was wonderful. The house is comfortable and the sunsets are spectacular. The family spent our evenings playing lawn games and our days kayaking and fishing. The owners provide all the essentials and our host was always available, knowledgeable, and very kind. A wonderful week indeed.

Great place for family getaway

This was such a gem for our family getaway. We went with our family, kids, and their godparents. Perfect place to do a crab boil, walk to the local coffee shop for breakfast, and watch INCREDIBLE fireworks off the dock for the 4th! Meredith was super responsive and great to work with. Highly recommend.

Monumental Birthday

This is my 2nd time renting this property. It was amazing last time and more amazing this time. It was the best birthday ever with family, food and fun. Can’t get enough of this property. Not a cooking cutter home. Space galore. They have leveraged every square foot of this home making it so functional. It has everything that you can think of and will need to make unforgettably memories. Fishing and crabbing on the pier is always a hit. We even enjoyed Cobb Island day. Will be back in September. Thanks again Meridith….you’re AMAZING!!!. I replaced your chair that blew of the pier my last stay. I bought it from the new dollar general.

No PIER pressure from a cousins staycation

They were strategic with every square foot of this property!! It’s loaded with everything you’ll need to create new memories and have a good time. We fished on the pier and caught so many catfish!! We filleted them prepared them for dinner!!! Amazing!!! Meredith was attentive to my fireplace inquiry with a quick resolve. Nice BONUS loft area on 3rd level (bed, sitting area and foosball table). Again…BONUS 2nd level with TV and sitting areas. Now that I’m thinking about it…kinda wished a tv was on 1st level and in all the bedrooms. Anywho…kitchen well stocked with every gadget you can think of. Bikes and chairs in the garage. Don’t let one the chairs blow into the River like I did. It can get windy on the pier. BONUS…Two refrigerators in the kitchen. 6 vehicles fit in the driveway. Picnic tables and more items outside for your enjoyment. Rested well, had run and will surely return!!! Worth EVERY PENNY!!! Thanks again Meredith!!! You so ROCK!!!

Gorgeous and relaxing river house

The house is spectacular and the views of the water are amazing. We spent a week reading, playing games and resting. The goal was to break up the monotony of covid in DC. However, food choices are super limited and go grocery shopping before you go. If you just want to rest and relax then this is the place. There isn’t really anything else to do in the area or on the island.
