Stunning secluded Luxury waterfront cottage with private deep water pier!

Ivy Cove is located in the The Soundings neighborhood; a family community designed exclusively for boating enthusiasts. The placid waters of Mill Creek, which is considered one of the finest natural harbors available from Chesapeake Bay. Only ten minutes by boat to the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, yet, when you look out over the waters of Mill Creek you have the feeling that you are on the pine-wooded shores of a beautiful Northern Lake.

A newly renovated waterfront cottage with a warm charming appeal capture the unique features of this 1965 home. Take in the beautiful view of Brooks Cove, an inlet off of Mill Creek, from the large wrap around porch while enjoying the morning sunrise. Spend your afternoons paddling around the creek inlets and the evenings relaxing by the fire pit watching the bald eagles sore over the cove. Or take a short ride to beautiful Solomon’s Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomon’s Pier, or take a stroll down the boardwalk to Cone Island.

Additional Amenities:
Outdoor Shower
Barbecue Grill with utensils
3 Kayaks (1 sit in; 2 sit-on)
Bistro Lighting
Corn hole

There are two security cameras located on the property for your security and mine. The first camera is located on the front corner of the home facing the driveway and the second camera is located on the beam above the porch facing the fire pit and the dock. All audio is turned off and these cameras do not face the inside the property.

This property was exactly as described. The owner was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, we did not get to use the fire pit as it was rainy and cold. I would 100% stay here again.

Long weekend at the river

The house was in tip top shape. The property had great views and all the amenities you could want. We used the fire pit every evening, as well as the crab trap and swimming off the dock

Holiday Retreat

Property was wonderful, exactly what the family was looking for during the long holiday weekend. Very clean and secure place to stay, especially during a pandemic. Very secluded with water access, easy drive to Solomons and local parks. Highly recommend this property.

Excellent stay, one feedback

Only negative feedback is the master bedroom mattress is really lumpy and very soft. Hard time sleeping. Other bedrooms are good. Rest of house is great!

Relaxing Get Away

Ivy Cove is a beautiful house and was the perfect escape for my family of four during Spring Break. The location is private and quiet but still very close to grocery stores and shopping. There was also plenty of firewood to enjoy a cozy outside fire in the pit.

Fantastic

My family had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cove. We were in town for our niece’s wedding and it was close enough to participate in all family activities but far enough away to be a peaceful haven to relax. The house is beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit and game room. The owner was fantastic. We would absolutely stay again in this amazing home.

Wonderful Holiday Weekend Getaway

We spent New Year's weekend at Ivy Cove and loved every minute of it. The house had everything we needed (shout out for having Old Bay!). The location was perfect and the views were outstanding. KJ is an awesome host. I can't wait to come back in warmer weather and enjoy the kayaks!

Serenic property for relaxing and waterspouts

We had a wonderful stay here - kayaking, camp fires, tv night. The property is lovely - completely redone in the last year and slept all of us comfortably. The owner KJ, was highly responsive when the AC broke our first night. Would definitely recommend.

Chilling in the Cove.

The place is awesome. Everything that you need to have a nice relaxing time with the family. The game room downstairs was a huge plus for the kids. So many things to do at the place and in the area. The place is secluded with many wildlife friends and critters. We would definitely recommend for great family time together.

Natures paradise

This is a beautiful part of the world. I came down with friends to fish in the Chesapeake. We not only had great fishing, the accommodations were wonderful. There was a birdfeeder and we must’ve seen 15 species of birds including one beautiful one I’ve never seen before, a summer Tanager

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

Perfect place for Thanksgiving getaway with family. House was cozy and comfortable with great view of the water. Kids enjoyed all the games- corn hole, air hockey, and board alike. Close to amenities, yet feels secluded and remote. KJ was a pleasure to rent from and had great suggestions for things to do in the area. We hope to stay again during the warmer months to take advantage of the kayaks as well as fishing and swimming from the dock.
