About this property

BayDreams - IronMan/Eagleman Retreat on the bay

Heavenly sunsets will dazzle you at our Chesapeake Bay vacation home. Whether you are fishing, crabbing, paddle boarding, kayaking, sitting on the 100 ft. dock, playing in the expansive yard or relaxing on the porch, you will marvel at the gifts nature has to offer. Sitting on the dock in a protected cove, you can see Chesapeake Beach and Calvert Cliffs across the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay, while watching bald eagles, osprey, egrets and geese fly above our cove in Brannock Bay. Blue crabs and rockfish are easily caught from our dock in season.

The property features 1 1/2 acres with 100 feet of rip rap shoreline and a 100 foot dock with a swimming ladder attached. The all- brick ranch style house has a master suite with water views, 3 additional bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with a large family room, an updated dining/kitchen area, laundry room and a shaded screened-in porch - perfect for eating steamed crabs!

Baycation 2023

We were agroup of 6 family and friends over age of 60. We spent our week fishing, crabbing and beer tasting. The house was perfect , the pier and fire pit were used daily. We caught a bunch of crabs everyday, steaming them each night. Steve and Lisa contacted us to see if we needed anything. We already booked the home dor Sept 2024. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Exceptional!!!

The property was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The owner/property manager was very helpful. Just exceptional! I completed Ironman Maryland and this location was about a 15 minute drive from the venue. Everyone is so pleasant and welcoming that I would go back in a moment. But for me, this was a “one and done” lifetime goal. If you are coming here for the Ironman, book this property!

Excellent vacation house!

We had a great time! The pier was perfect for crabbing and fishing. The whole family enjoyed the outdoor “toys” and kept us entertained. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. We brought our own kayak and the cove was perfect for all the paddle sports. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding Vacation

The home was very well equipped with everything that one could possibly need. The amenities were plentiful. form the kitchen to the outdoor equipment. The place was very comfortable and cool during the heat wave. The screened in porch was a great place to enjoy coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. It was very peaceful listening to the birds. The eagles and osprey were amazing to watch. The town of Cambridge is a quaint with lots of choices of eateries. The hosts were nice, very informative and were quick to answer any of our questions. It's a great place for a family vacation.

Great family getaway

I rented this house for my family (3 young kids) and parents for a long weekend stay. The kids had a blast as there are many cool “toys” at the house including foosball table. My parents enjoyed spending time with their grandkids, and they spent time at the dock just throwing rocks in the water. I really loved the screened in porch with full dining table, it was a beautiful quiet place for morning coffee and family lunch. The house had many other amenities (especially water toys) and I wish we had booked even more time to enjoy them. The backdrop of the property, being on the bay with unobstructed sunset view, was really amazing. The booking process and communications with owner were smooth, clear, and actually quite easy which I appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and Steve Scarbath

We are a busy family of 5 with a love of the water!

Why they chose this property

Steve has always wanted property on the bay in Cambridge to enjoy his love of fishing. When this property came onto the market, we couldn't resist. It had been neglected and vacant for a period of time, but we fell in love with the view and the potential of the house. While there is still room for improvement, we are proud to be able to share our accomplishments...Newly sanded and white washed hardwood floors throughout the bedrooms and living area, new laminate floors in the kitchen, dining, laundry, half bath and master suite. Freshly painted with new ceiling fans in every room. All new HVAC, tankless water heater, kitchen and laundry appliances in 2016!

Because we are so busy, we are not able to stay at Baydreams as often as we would like. We don't like the thought of the house being empty, so we hope to share the property with others who are looking for a family getaway and will also appreciate the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay.

What makes this property unique

Sunsets and the water are what make our property spectacular! The house is comfortable with many updates and wonderful open spaces in the living areas and porch.
