SoMD Cottage 1.5 acres of gorgeous coastal living!

Welcome to our Southern MD beach house. This 3 bedroom and 2 bath home is situated on nearly 1.5 acres of property where you can breathe deep and take in the bay breeze. Whether it is visiting one of the Chesapeake Bay beaches only a 3 minute drive from the home, or watching for wildlife in our yard (it is common to see deer, rabbits, birds, etc), life in Calvert County will slow you down and help you take a much needed break from the daily grind. And you don't even have to cross the Bay Bridge!

The space

**NEW screened in patio added in March 2023!**

Newly renovated, this single level 1,920 square foot home will delight you at every turn. Rooms w/vaulted ceilings, a fun kids' loft space, nautical + airy design. Perfect for romantic getaways, small group retreats, or family trips.

So, why "waffle house"? You'll receive a welcome basket upon arrival which includes goodies like Old Bay chips, bottled water, and you guessed it....waffle mix! We have a Belgian waffle maker for your use during your stay located next to the refrigerator.

Ready for activities? Other than hunting for fossils and sharks' teeth at our beaches, we have many amenities at the house including a volleyball/badminton net, tree swing, hammocks, horseshoes, fire pit, basketball hoop, outdoor and indoor toys, books + board games, an air hockey and mini pool table, and much more. Beach gear (toys, umbrella, sifters, and more) and fishing poles are available for you to borrow on your outings.

Our community boasts 2 private sandy beaches for swimming and beach fun, Lake Lariat for fishing & boating, hiking trails, playgrounds, and campgrounds.
