Here is a more detailed description of the rooms layout to help you decide how we can best accommodate your group (six is the base number of guests -- $35 extra per night for each additional occupant):

- Bedroom 1: `Soft Swedish Carolina Light” (aka The Green Room), with double bed, is the closest bedroom to the water, has two waterfront windows and a glass door leading out to the water. Bathroom is two steps outside your door.

- Bedroom 2: “Sweet Memories of Changzhou` (aka Jamie`s Room), has a side window water view and a double bed.

- Bedroom 3: `Dot`s Room` (aka The Mudroom), is smaller. has a twin bed with an extra mattress underneath. Designed as a mudroom, it has its own separate French door entrance and also houses a washer and dryer in its closet.

- Study/Optional `Bedroom 4,` `The Morning Room,` (a glass study off the foyer that can be converted to a bedroom), is a calm, beautiful space with a bar-height glass table and glass coffee table for relaxing in the morning sun or any time, three walls of windows for an intimate view of both creek and bay, a queen-sized sleeper sofa, and a view of the double-sided fireplace in the foyer. It also has a sliding glass door onto the screened porch that could be left open for those who like a natural sleeping space with cricket or bird songs. In the near future (supply chain issues), it will have French doors with cross-reed glass that can be closed off for greater privacy.

- L-shaped Italian leather couch in the Great Room provides a comfortable extra sleeping space. We provide bedding (let us know in advance if you`d like to use it).

- A small but full marble tile bathroom accommodates the downstairs. - Access to the small, upstairs hallway `Mermaid` bathroom is an option depending on how we set up the house for your visit. It has a “step down” shower.

- A fully-equipped `CREEK VIEW` kitchen has leathered granite countertops, bar-height stools, and all the many of the spices, etc., you`ll need.

- The Great Room has 9` ceilings and is equipped with a 16-foot sliding glass door that opens onto the very translucent screened porch, making it into a LANAI and almost doubling the size of the living room. This same porch opens onto the Morning Room as well, so a very large, fluid space can be created for gatherings.

- The gas fireplace in the Great Room is double-sided so it can be viewed also from the Morning Room or from the entry foyer, and has remote control for five levels of flame and heat. The 50` state-of-the-art TV above it is directly wired into the internet (no dependence on WiFi) and there are also speakers for bluetooth-controlled music.

- The dining room part of the Great Room has a large Bay view dining table for formal dining, as well as swivel chairs for casual snacks on the water. The sliding doors and windows on both sides can give the feeling of being outside while still indoor and close to the kitchen. The sliding doors also go directly onto the deck making BBQing and outdoor dining easy.

The upstairs configuration:

- Bedroom 5: `The Sunrise Suite` Master Bedroom has a queen-sized bed, windows galore, a wet-bar kitchen, built in remote-controlled electric wall fireplace and TV, Bluetooth speakers, sitting area, and dining area, as well as outdoor lounging/dining on its balcony. It is adorned by a huge master bath with a `retro` natural teak vanity, large rain shower (w/shower jets, bench, and grab bars) and a roomy 68” ivory soaking tub and toilet with spectacular corner-window views of the Bay (best `toilet view` ever!). The Sunrise Suite (SS) was designed by a critically acclaimed architect, Steve Terhune.

- Bedroom 6: the` Romantic Modern Chesapeake Waterfront Suite,` called `The Flat,` has a queen-sized bed and a luxurious, marble bathroom with a deep, freestanding tub and large European shower. The Flat can also be booked as a separate apartment (was named the most wished-for bnb in Maryland by Travel + Leisure Magazine).

- Bedroom 7: `The Solarium` is unique in that it has windows on all three sides for both sunrise/moonrise and sunset views. This very peaceful sun-drenched space that is attached to The Flat by a glass sound-dampening door. It has a wonderful, white leather couch and double bed, its own small balcony, and can be made into an ensuite bath bedroom with its own closet by locking off the hallway.

- The smaller `Mermaid Bathroom` in that same hallway mentioned above has a “step down” shower, and can serve either the downstairs common space and Morning Room, or can be a private bath for the Solarium.

You`ll enjoy gorgeous views from the screened porch, decks, balconies, as well as from the upstairs skylights and upscale sliding glass windows galore....take in the moon and stars, both sunrise and sunset views, and sparkling water, especially dazzling in fall and winter.

Enjoy the gas bbq, firepit, tree swings, double hammock, English `tree gardens,` outdoor recliner chairs, outdoor dining table, and the pier for stargazing, crabbing, swimming, sunning yourself, floating, kayaking (two singles and one two-seater ocean), canoe, and bird watching, or just hanging out.

We provide helpful amenities for all seasons like throw blankets for movie nights, extra towels, big floaty things for playing off the pier in summer, and other small touches that can make all the difference in creating your happy, memorable experience.

While the downstairs of the house will be very clean, some of the owner`s private possessions will be present since it is only rented for limited times of the year. So far, folks have loved it here and were happy to agree to this special situation. :-)

Also, by request, you can book a special session with me of `The Work,` (of Byron Katie), an amazing and very simple form of self-inquiry for relieving stress and solving problems.
Welcome!!! Important Rule: Relax, Have FUN, and Let me Know if You need Anything!

ABOUT SWIMMING AND BOATING

I love to swim off the pier and have done so with a passion for many years! Many guests enjoy swimming here or floating on the inflatable raft. We provide big, fun floaty things since the bottom is muddy. I swim off the pier many months of the year; however, there are some important caveats, and ALL WATER and BOATING ACTIVITIES are undertaken at your own risk. Please read the following if you are considering going in the water:

Please bring your own safety flotation devices (life jackets) for children of all ages or adults who are non-swimmers. We do provide life jackets in various sizes and thickness as the Coast Guard requires that they be with you while in watercrafts; however we cannot guarantee them, especially for children or people who cannot swim. We love that our guests seem to be very careful and use lots of common sense. YAY!

No children under 12 on the pier without life jacket or very close supervision of an adult. (Children in the yard at any time must also have adult supervision.)

The ladder can be slippery and barnacles can sometimes build up and be sharp, so you may need water shoes. You can expect the bottom to be deep `silky mud` (I like it!).

DO NOT GO IN THE WATER WITH A FRESH CUT OR SKIN LACERATION due to bacteria that is sometimes found in the Bay.

NO DIVING OFF PIER OR JUMPING OFF SIDES OF PIER!!!! Experienced swimmers may jump off the end with great care if you FIRST TEST WATER DEPTH as it can change with the tides and become very shallow (plus bottom is very muddy and could have glass in it so wear water shoes if you put your feet down).

Occasionally there are sea nettles here (mildly stinging jellyfish that show up for a few days or even a few weeks (RARE) in late summer, usually for a day or two in July or August; but they’re definitely gone by mid to late September.

Kayaks and canoes are leaning against my house and are there for you any time you want to go out - -two single closed kayaks and one double open (ocean) kayak that is a little heavier (the double can also be made into a single).

I’d love to help you get set up for kayaking if I’m home, and to know that you`re going out and for how long. Feel free to text me when you`re planning to go out. Most folks like to go out toward the bay if it`s not windy and turn right -- there`s a little sand bar/island there and another creek to paddle down, or just take a left and go into the other half of our creek. These kayaks maneuver best if you put the paddle up near the front of the kayak when you want to turn. Don`t go far out into the bay.

Please drop your kayaks at the end of the pier.

Located in Churchton, this vacation home is on the waterfront. Captain Avery Museum and Dr. Aris T. Allen Memorial are local landmarks, and travelers looking to shop may want to visit Marlboro Square Shopping Center and Marlboro Crossroads. Chesapeake Beach Water Park and Chesapeake Beach Railway Museum are also worth visiting.
