2 Bedroom Cottage in Port Republic

Welcome to The Aways Dreaming Cottage with two bedrooms which sleeps four (4) – where dreaming is a pastime you will enjoy. There is not another cottage with this Bay access and two level decks, for these multi-walking miles of beach front. Our cottage is a privately-owned Chesapeake Bay front home only steps from the water’s edge. Located just 50 mins from Washington, DC, 14 miles north of the quaint seaport village of Solomons Island and 40 minutes south of Maryland’s capitol of Annapolis, the Always Dreaming Cottage at Kenwood Beach will relax you with quiet walks on the beach, fossil, shark tooth and sea glass collecting and best of all the lull of lapping waves as you enjoy the sunsets on the water’s reflection.
Don’t fight the bridge traffic, come enjoy all the Chesapeake Bay has to offer on the Western Shore!
During your week stay with us enjoy nearby Calvert Marine Museum, Calvert Cliffs, Flag Pond, craft, flea and antique malls, concerts of mainline stars in intimate venues or local wineries and evening music entertainment. Prefer quiet afternoons? Enjoy a book on the back deck, track marine traffic as it steams by or sun bathe on the master suite’s private deck on the second floor of our Always Dreaming beach side cottage.
If you enjoy kayaks and swimming our calm bay waters are inviting you to visit our shores. One of the few Bay coastlines where you can walk for several miles, this section of the Chesapeake Bay Western shore is an uncrowded wonderland. If you enjoy fishing or crabbing, our private community dock is only steps away from our house. Amenities such as restaurants and grocery shopping are nearby for your convenience either north to Prince Frederick or South to Lusby/Solomons Island.

Summary: We have stayed in this cottage several times and truly love the location. It is showing signs of wear and tear and needs some upgrading to justify the price.

Summary: We found the house cozy, and clean. Upstairs each bedroom has a private bath. The kitchen was clean and well appointed with both pod and regular coffee makers plus toaster oven. Living room was the downfall, only a sofa, no chairs exepect kitchen or this very hard little bench seat. TV has firestick which is adequate for a week out of your life. The best part is out the back door, the deck is wonderful, the beach small and cozy water was great for small children, watching ships, reading books and watching the sun and moon come up is beautiful. There are plenty of restaurants, and grocery stores between house and Prine Frederick to meet your needs. WE ENJOYED OUR TIME, WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

Summary: My wife and I stayed here for a week along with our son and 3 year old dog. The location was more private than we were expecting and being able to find fossils and sharks teeth right out back was awesome!! Our dog had a blast in the water and my wife spent many, many hours scouring the beach for shells and sharks teeth. She found many treasures during her searches including a wide variety of sea glass. Our son found a 2" sharks tooth our first night there. We got some fishing in as well. We found out later that bait can be purchased at a nearby gas station but they don't advertise as such on Google. We drove across the bridge to The Tackle Box. We were disappointed to learn that we would not have access to the pier that is in the listing but we learned that before we went. Flag Ponds and Calvert Cliffs are a short drive away. The Calvert Marine Museum is close as well but we did not make it there. We definitely look forward to getting the chance to return for another trip.

Summary: Perfect if you like peace and quiet on the water. Even though we ended up having stormy weather for part of our week we were cozy inside reading with great view of the waves. Property manager very responsive.

Summary: Location is great, nothing better than walking out back door onto beach. 1st couple days were great with no jellyfish. Played in water, threw out crab baskets & kayak on bay. Then storm came in & jellyfish were significant keeping us to knee deep depths. Decks are nice with upper providing shade to lower with many trek seats. Check in was super easy & house was clean. We are avid shark teeth hunters, & private beach puts Calvert Cliffs to shame especially because they are now closed from walking along them. Huge binoculars were bonus - my sons loved seeing all different ships floating by. Parking was more than sufficient for car plus SUV with trailer. Improvements: listing, there is no hot tub/spa tub (no picture in listing) - there is whirlpool bathtub in master bath, outline states linens included, “About Property” states linens are extra charge. Pet friendly yes, but deck gate has broken board & my dog can fit through, & there was a large wasp nest under & bench/railing on lower deck & my dog got stung. Double bed has 7 degree down slope (apple measure app) towards head. Master bedroom a/c struggles to keep room cooled to 70 when outside temperatures get in 90’s. Dining room only has 2 comfortable seats on loveseat. While WiFi was sufficient, but for some reason provided fire stick lags when moving within apps. PDF from owner are sent through app & cannot be printed for reference & also need to be updated as access to the dock is no longer provided.

Summary: My best girlfriend & I arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon so immediately got changed into swimsuits to put our feet in the sand and water, then sat on the back porch and watched the waves for hours. Calm, quiet, peaceful. We woke up to rough surf, clouds, and eventually rain on Saturday, but not before a brief walk on the sand and seashell hunting. The house is old, but clean and everything worked. Beds are comfy. Fortunately my friend & I have stayed at VRBOs a number of times so were prepared with our own papertowels, kleenex, and bath soap as none of these were provided. It also would have been helpful to have a book with restaurant recommendations, as the nearest ones are 15-20 minutes away. Would stay here again, but be aware there are no grocery stores or restaurants closeby. Thank you for the perfect weekend to recharge!

Summary: The pictures don't do this place justice. It was absolutely breathtaking! We spent a week walking the shoreline, finding sharks teeth, bathing in the sun and enjoying every moment of being on the bay. Thank you, Robert, for sharing this wonderful property!
