Your family can enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, crabbing, bike riding, and beautiful walks from this 4.6 acre private property located on a panoramic point of land. If you want to explore, you can ride your bike to the 9 car/passenger Oxford/Bellevue Ferry (just minutes away), which will take you to the quaint, and beautiful village of Oxford where there are some great restaurants, a park, and performances at the Tred Avon Theater. Biking through the town and beyond is very scenic with very little traffic. The larger town of Easton, 20 min. away, offers art galleries, golf courses, fine and casual dining, lots of shops, movies, and live entertainment at the fully restored, historic, art deco Avalon Theater. The Chesapeake Maritime Museum, gourmet/casual dining, antiquing, boutique shops, and golf are available in the nearby Victorian village of St. Michaels. You can also pamper yourself there with a spa treatment and fine dining at 'The Inn at Perry Cabin', an Orient- Express resort...fronting the Miles River. ALL of this is located just 1 1/2 hrs. from Washington or Baltimore. Boat charters are also available at area marinas.

You will have the whole house and the apartment.

The Oxford Bellevue Ferry is a few minutes walk which will deliver you to another charming town. You can access it by car, on foot, or your bike. Once there, you will love to bike ride around one of the most beautiful and quaint villages on the eastern shore. Must stop at the Scottish Creamery where you will find homemade ice cream in many flavors...a VERY popular stop for locals and tourists!

You will need a car.

Tred Avon Travel
We were pleasantly surprised that the house is the end of the small road with several private acres. The layout offered main floor bed/bath for my parents, 2nd floor 3b/3b for my brother and his teens, and an attached garage apartment for my husband and I. The pool was fun and well kept. The dock was protected and allowed us to rent a boat and the guys to fish. The kitchen had everything a gourmet chef could imagine. Our main difficulty was that there was no easy place/way to launch kayaks or paddleboards. That said, it was a very enjoyable trip.

It is a perfect place for a family gathering, chess table, pool table, hot tub and the outdoor pool with a fantastic view! There is a round table for a family discussion too.

Fantastic stay for a family get together
Fantastic stay for a family get together - Plenty of beds, and though the master suite is an open space with impacted privacy, it is big and it does have its own balcony, which is nice. The home is very well-kept and maintained, the owner and the property manager are both very responsive and helpful. The absolute best part of this house is the outdoor space including an expansive screened in porch, a wonderful pool, lovely Jacuzzi, fire pit, pier, all on a large grassy peninsula on the Chesapeake. The neighborhood was a great area to walk around in, with a nearby ferry to Oxford. A short 15 minute drive to charming Saint Michaels, was also a lovely perk. We enjoyed our stay very much, and this home is certainly in our starred list for return visits :-)

Bonate'
Bonate’ is a treasure nestled between St. Michaels and Oxford on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Three generations of our family spent a long Labor Day weekend there, after 18 months apart. We could not have found a better spot, with everything from a private pool (complete with an inflatable alligator, whose name is “Pete,” according to the youngest family member) to landscaping (with redwood and walnut trees) to a variety of birds (with guidebooks and binoculars at hand) – all framed by spectacular views across the water from sunrise to sunrise. We were welcomed by a kind note from the owner, alerting us to a few idiosyncrasies that were not surprising in a home which is a treasure – for example, one shower control is mislabeled even though carrying the brand of a major manufacturer. The welcome was continued when we were met at the home by the local agent. On our first walk-around, we discovered that the previous day’s storms (accompanying two F2 tornadoes) had damaged furniture around the pool and broken several tree limbs. Fortunately, there was no damage to the home. The agent immediately began cleaning the pool herself. Shortly after, we left for lunch and grocery shopping. When we returned a few hours later, we found that everything had been repaired. The local agent was equally quick to respond to questions about the house and to offer recommendations for shopping, dining, or just being lazy. The home itself is an architectural masterpiece. Each of the four bedrooms has a television and a full bath (one with shower/tub, two with showers, and the master with shower and tub); each has a private, screened balcony; each has large windows, with everything being larger in the master. There are other details (a games room, with television and pool table; a sitting area with round dining table; and a fully equipped kitchen with its own TV); but no description can adequately describe the details that make the house a treasure. The house is filled with collections from lifetimes of travel, from large (hand-painted animals from merry-go-rounds) to small (figures of cats guard every room), with duck decoys in abundance. More personal collections include one honoring George Washington which surrounds the main staircase, and a pair of framed, first pages from the New York Times reporting the sinking of the Titanic. And always, creaking wood-plank floors served as a reminder that the house is a home with living memories.
