About this property

Waterfront Wildlife Retreat on the Patuxent River

  • This contemporary waterfront home, located on the Patuxent River, near the entrance to the Solomons Island Harbor, is bustling with activity on the land, water and in the air. From the sail, power and workboats going in and out of the harbor into the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, to the sights and occasional sounds of aircraft from NAS Patuxent River, your cares will simply melt away. In addition, the wildlife including all kinds of birds (osprey, eagles, ducks, geese, herons etc.), deer, foxes and many more provide plenty of enjoyment and photo opportunities. Fish and crab from the bulkhead or just sit and enjoy.
    This 3-bedroom, two story, modified A-Frame with an all-glass front will provide plenty of opportunities to rest and enjoy it all. The open plan format kitchen, dining and living room and walkout deck give you spectacular views of both sunrise and sunset. There is one adult bedroom (1 queen) and one bedroom (2 twin beds) for the kids to enjoy on the first floor and a an en-suite bedroom (1 queen) on the second floor.

The house was lovely. Everything single thing in working order. We fished, caught and cooked crabs, walked dog around neighborhood, took bike out for a couple of rides, photographed beauty of exterior property, used jacuzzi bath, used the grill. Beds were comfortable. Went to Calvert Museum, walked on beach at Flag Ponds nature park, went to visitor center on Solomon’s island, took a drive to Leonardtown. We appreciated the wine, chocolates and coffee pods left by owner. Saw butterflies, deer, foxes, osprey, vultures, blue heron in neighborhood. Grocery store and fast food only 8 minutes away. Unique property! Loved all the windows.

Wonderful retreat

My stay was beautiful, excellent, peaceful, very relaxing. My views from the house was beautiful, the sounds of the waves of the water was much needed to detox from everyday life. We fished & crabbed took in the scenery. Our host is/was great wonderful timely response to all my questions.

A Fantastic Getaway!

The Waterfront Retreat on the Patuxent River is better than advertised. Our whole family stayed -- everyone loved it! It was clean, comfortable, with everything needed to stay comfortably, sleep, eat, relax and use as a home base for exploring. Solomons Island and the surrounding area was filled with lots of fun things to do (restaurant's, museums, history, boating, walking, etc.).

Perfect Place

The house was awesome, the view couldn’t have been better. Loved everything about it, quiet and peaceful and it is on a dead end short road with wildlife in the yard in the morning, deer, fox, blue heron, bald eagle, geese and ducks, just fabulous. Will definitely be going back soon I hope.

Amazing Stay

This property was amazing. Everything was clean and stocked with anything you could need. The view is amazing, Couldn't have asked for a better place. Very comfortable. Loved sitting on the deck and relaxing as the boats came by, watching the birds, fishing and crabbing from the front. Just an amazing stay. Close to everything we came to do.

Great Stay!

Beautiful home and property! The house was wonderful, clean, and comfortable. My wife, 9-year- old son, and I had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. We had some luck fishing as well, mostly Spot, but my son caught a Flounder on his first cast, riding the bottom. Highly recommend to families looking to relax and enjoy the river/bay. Thanks, Pete!

Best stay in Maryland!

This property is beautiful. If you want to crab it’s the bomb. If you don’t crab and just want to sit and look at a gorgeous view this is also the place. The host thought of everything. Super comfortable rooms and beds… great atmosphere….easy to get to. Amenities close by. House is packed with everything for kids and adults alike.

Relaxing With Great Views

Our family had a awesome time staying here. Having the convenience of many stores close by was also nice. Pete was great with his communication and information that was left in the house. We even got to see a ground hog climbing up the tree outside. That was definitely a first for us. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely relaxing weekend

We stayed with four adults and two kids and the house worked well for the group. The kitchen really is stocked with pretty much any and all equipment you can imagine as well as a great collection of herbs and spices. We had no problem cooking up a great Easter meal. There's plenty to watch on the water going by.

Fantastic stay on the water!

Thank you, Pete, for a great vacation. The place is truly amazing and has everything you need: nice and clean house with it's sole and a fully stacked kitchen, great views on the water with different boats coming in and out, nice and spacious front lawn on the bank where we spent hours playing games, fishing, crabbing, and just relaxing in comfy chairs. Not for swimming though... Special thanks to Pete for his hospitality, prompt communication, answering all the questions and providing clear instructions.

Great Retreat By The Water

Had a great stay. Property is just as described in listing, and all the essentials are provided. Very clean and decor is perfect. Owner responded quickly to all questions and communications, and provided a few extras to make our stay even more special. We caught (and released) several fish our last day there, and enjoyed watching the boats come and go while we were sitting there. Cool surprise the first day seeing (and hearing) the jets fly overhead towards the Patuxent NAS.
