Spacious Waterfront Home secluded on 60 ac with Beach and Boat Ramp

Create your own adventure when staying at the Cove House in Southern Maryland. Located on St. George Creek (convenient to the St. Mary's River, Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay); the property is rich with outdoor activities, as well as more than ample room for activities indoors; providing a perfect location for multi-family reunions, get-aways, vacations, and events.
An updated old farmhouse retains some of its original 1940s character with original hardwood floors. The 1980s addition offers ample room for indoor entertaining.
The first floor contains a fully equipped kitchen, mud/laundry room with an additional refrigerator, 1/2 bath, formal dining room, open game room, spacious living/additional dining room, and a private nook with a day bed. The open game room can serve as play room or a quiet reading room. The first floor is supplemented with two screened porches, one off of the dining room with picnic table, and another off of the living room with comfortable seating and side tables; as well as a small deck off of the kitchen that includes an outdoor gas grill.
The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom one is a spacious master suite with king bed, Roku TV, and private porch overlooking the airstrip with a view to Price Cove. Bedroom two contains two queen beds. Bedroom three contains a queen bed with Roku TV, with a view to an inlet off of the St. Mary’s river. Bathroom one, attached to both the master suite and bedroom two, includes a walk in shower. Bathroom two is located near Bedroom one, and includes a tub/shower combination. All rooms have views of the property as well as deer and other wildlife that frequently graze on the airstrip.
Outdoors provides acres of flat open grassy area. The beach and boat ramp are located approximately 2000 feet from the house. A golf cart is provided and a dirt drive running the length of the property provides easy and private access. The boat ramp serves small to medium size boats, and provides access to the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. The beach area is great for swimming, relaxing, or observing local shore birds. The beach area is supplemented with a pier perfect for fishing and crabbing, as well as a fire pit and chairs for amazing camp fires under the stars. We have 3 kayaks (1 tandem and 2 singles) as well as two stand up paddleboards available for your use to explore the vast waterfront, coves, and lagoons that surround the property. We maintain a porta-potty near the beach and boat ramp to minimize trips back and forth to the house.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Dennis Point Marina. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.

The West Annapolis Boyz Return!
Our group of 6 guys who have been friends since elementary school (all 60+ years old now) enjoyed another great annual visit to Cove House. Fish and crabs were biting. Sunsets and rainbows lit up the sky. And good friends reconnected, laughed, and enjoyed being away from the world for a bit. We will be calling again!

Great stay on a dreary weekend
What a fantastic property! We loved staying here and our family had such a great time exploring. Sadly it was a drizzly, dreary weekend but we had one nice day to go down to the beach and the kids enjoyed playing in the water. We loved the variety of porches to sit on and have different views and there was plenty of room for the kids to play indoors when it was raining. Overall a great experience. Thank you!

Wonderful spring family getaway
We had a great long weekend together! The house was clean, large with plenty of room and seating, and fully stocked for all our needs. The property was quiet, secluded and beautiful. We enjoyed nature, the golf cart, paddleboarding and campfire. Southern Maryland is a favorite of ours; thank you for making our stay easy, comfortable and lovely!

3rd time coming
This was our third trip to the Cove house in Drayden. The owner has been very gracious with us and has really made my family feel very at home at what is becoming an annual vacation spot for us. My family loves to play at the beach and enjoy the kayaks on the water. This time we also were watching seagulls dive and catch their supper. We had a BBQ supper by the water and watched the sun set. The property is well maintained and the house is in very good condition. The golf cart to get to the beach and back is a very nice perk.

Beautiful isolated haven
We had a great time staying at this charming house in a beautiful setting. During the day, we swam, kayaked, crabbed and visited local points of interest. The beach, pier and firepit provided fun and relaxation throughout the day, accessed by the provided golf cart. Great spot to kick back and enjoy family.

Great house for a large group or anyone who loves interesting water
We (myself, my wife, and our 5yo) stayed 4 days/3 nights at this property. We enjoyed the house, which is rambling, comfortable, and interesting, as well as the water features. The small beach was sufficient for our daughter to play on and build sand castles. The beach is a 5 minute trip away, using the provided golf cart, so it is not ideal if you want to fall right off your back deck into the water, but the drive adds a fun element for kids or anyone who doesn't golf on a regular basis. (Plus we spotted several deer and a bald eagle on these trips.) The inlet is perfect for use with the provided kayaks with a great combination of creek, hidden beaches/sandbars, woody shores, and marshes. You can choose any length of trip as the fractal nature of the coastline permits you to go on as long or as short a trip as you like and still enjoy new sights out and back. The house was clean and spacious. We cooked a full dinner (including a large pot of crabs) in the kitchen and didn't lack for anything. Wifi and cellular data were slightly slow, but adequate. Full satellite TV was available. Everything is 20+ minutes away, but everything that you would need for a vacation is available within a half hour drive. Between the beach, fire pit, deck, and large house with numerous bathrooms, and semi-isolation, this is a great place for a family, but would be a perfect place for a youth group, sports team, or other collection of young people who need space and activities, but not necessarily a bed.
