About this property

Waterfront Family Retreat with Pool on 7+ acres!

Looking for a place to really enjoy nature, boating, fishing, swimming, family games, campfires and more? Bring your boat! Bring your whole family! Cherry Point Vacation Rental is recently under new ownership and the owners aim to make this vacation the best ever!
The picturesque 7.4 acre property can be all yours for the week and includes a deep-water slip, sandy beach (when the tides out) and a floating dock, along the 1,200 feet of waterfront. Eagle, osprey, heron, hawks and waterfowl are as common as the sunrises. The grounds at Cherry Point include an older tennis court: perfect for tennis, basketball, hockey, roller skating and more; a 32’x16’ in-ground swimming pool (surrounded by decking, tables, lounge chairs and some pool toys); and lots of open space on the property with a large field for softball, soccer, badminton, horseshoes, and more including some wooded areas and private little sandy beaches for exploring and relaxing.

Cherry Point is perfect for multi-generational family getaways or multi-family vacations. There is a large main house (the original portion of the main house dates to 1919, featuring unique wood trim, beautiful old wood floors and some unique historic features...) and a newer updated addition which was added in the 1990's. And, if you need more room, there is additional living space we refer to as the "Annex" or “cottage” space with 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and large living area on the 2nd floor of the detached garage, overlooking the pool and water views.

The main house contains 7 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, living room with fireplace, den with fireplace, kitchen and dining area for group dining and family CRAB FEASTS, laundry, and screened porch with outdoor furniture and an additional picnic table, overlooking the water. The large Master Suite includes a 2nd floor deck overlooking the water. The new (2020), fully equipped kitchen, includes an induction electric cooktop and range, dishwasher, microwave, 2 refrigerators, drip pot coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker, blender and tons of kitchen accessories.

The "Cottage" is above the garage, overlooking the pool and has 3 bedrooms: one with 2 bunk-beds (sleeps 4 ), one with a queen bed, and one with 2 twin beds...along with a large family room and a full bath.
All rooms at Cherry Point are air-conditioned via central air, or window units.

This destination property offers swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating, dining and relaxing all in true maritime atmosphere of the Eastern Shore of Maryland! Watch the boats go by while dining alfresco or sitting by the pool! We include the use of canoes and kayaks, as well as stand up paddle boards during your stay.

There are many shops, restaurants and boutiques in the quaint maritime town of Cambridge which is about 15 minutes away. Cambridge is filled with history and unique out-of-the way sights. Travel through the countryside which James Michener wrote about in "Chesapeake" and let it take your breath away. Also, there are many seasonal events worth checking out in the area. Several golf courses and wineries are local. The world renown Hyatt Regency waterfront golf course is nearby and is open to the public. Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and other underground railroad sites are a short drive, and the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge is our nearby neighbor and offers paths for walking, hiking, biking and more and also adds additional waterways for canoeing and kayaking.

Grocery stores in Cambridge include numerous options such as Food Lion, and Walmart and the local Simon's market. Excellent seafood everywhere you turn. The local Woolford general store is about a mile away. Slaughter Creek Marina just 10 minutes down the road. Buy fresh and mostly local produce, meats, eggs and flowers, crafts and more at the Cambridge Farmers Market every Thursday from 3-6 pm from May thru October at Long Warf in Cambridge near High and Water Streets. The Dorchester County Tourism Dept. operates out of the award winning Visitor Center at Sailwinds Park in Cambridge. There are exhibits, a playground, a beach area, a monument fountain, restrooms, a native garden, and a mile long boardwalk to stretch your legs. Check their website for local events!

During Summer Months, minimum rental periods of a full week Sunday to Sunday are preferred. This works best with trash collection in the area. Shorter stays can be requested and will be considered during off peak times. Linens and towels are provided for your convenience.

Perfect house for Thanksgiving family reunion

Allen and Kathleen’s house was exactly what we were looking for. Water views. Spotless rooms and bathrooms. Perfect for our large family of 23. Well equipped and recently renovated kitchen with everything we could have needed for Thanksgiving dinner! Spacious rooms. Kitchen-dining was bright, sunny, warm, and cozy and perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner. We had a nice Thanksgiving fun run in the community. Tennis. Canoe rides. Fishing. Football watching in a cozy setting. A trip to backwater refuge and the Harriet Tubman visitor center plus golfing and a trip to the brewery in Cambridge. Fun was had by all! We couldn’t have asked for better. 🦃

What a great family vacation!

We had a group of 17 for our family vacation and we truly enjoyed every aspect of our stay! The beautiful location, the house, pool, the kayaks and canoes, yard area! It was fantastic! The house and cottage supplied ALL the space we needed for 5 family units. The only bummer was jellyfish in the bay!

Perfect family retreat

Property met all of our expectations. We were a family of twenty from ages 8 to 76, three generations. Loved all the outdoor sports available really used the pool since our week was 90+ degrees everyday. Sunrise and kayaking every morning, more coordinated members paddle boarded. My grandson especially enjoyed kayaking, fishing, crabbing and exploring the property. Looking forward to next year. Only recommendation some free standing umbrellas at pool where lounge chairs are located. Shade was at a premium our week. Allen and Kathleen very conscientious hosts.

We've stayed here for our big family vacation (3 generations) for several years. There's so much to do without leaving the property. The property is very clean, and the owners make updates / upgrades every year. The owners are very friendly and responsive and always check in with us to see how we're doing. I can't say enough nice things about the property and the owners.

We had a fantastic week with our children and grandchildren. This property offers something for everyone, all ages. Volleyball was a nightly event and the pool was always being used in the 90 degree weather. The property has everything you need from the kitchen to outdoor games....very highly recommended.

Beautiful - Quiet - So Much Fun

We had an amazing time! We wanted a home on some property with lots of activities for the whole family. This home fit the bill perfectly. The overall beauty of the place was breathtaking, and all of the activities were enjoyed by the whole family. The kids LOVED the pool! Thank you for adding the solar blanket!! We also loved the location, as we were only a little over an hour from Ocean City Beach!! The owner communicated with us very well, and was very responsive when we had questions. Thank you for giving the Milford Family a vacation to remember!

The Perfect Family Getaway

We stayed here on our annual summer family get-together/getaway in August 2023. B'eH, we are now 20+ with 5 married couples including myself, my wife's sister's family and my in-laws, and married daughter. The boys took the cottage, which was a perfect chill for them. The main house had plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms for all of us to comfortably have our own spaces. The intention was that the property would be all-inclusive in terms of activities so that we could be together and not have to run around finding external entertainment. And it was great! There were enough options that all ages and interests were met. The pool was perfect. there was plenty of time spent in the kayaks, fishing off the dock, basketball games, tennis, ping-pong, exploring about. We didn't even get to the volleyball. The house is very clean and well maintained. There were clean linens and towels provided for each person. They even had pool towels located above the washer/dryer. Most important, Allen, the owner, was extremely responsive throughout the entire process from the reservation, through our stay – and departure. (Thank you!) This was a perfect home and location for our family vacation.

August 2023 stay

Excellent house & pool. Family had an outstanding stay. We rented a boat part of the week, tubing, fishing, and general water fun. Kitchen was well laid out, allowing us to cook and serve family of 21. Equipment included canoes, paddle boards, ping pong, horseshoes and a tennis / paddle ball court. A first class experience.

Family reconnect

We gathered as an extended family for a wonderful week at this beautiful property. The house is just perfect for a large group. We could all eat together and there was plenty for us to do- pool, pickle ball, tennis, paddle boards, kayaks, fishing, crabbing. One of the highlights was a double elimination cornhole tournament! Allen was very responsive and made us feel welcome. We would like to return sometime.

Wonderful Family Reunion Location

Communication was amazing. I got lots of questions from family members leading up to our stay. Allen always answered quickly with the info I needed. The house and property were perfect for our family reunion. We all loved the kitchen with it’s beautiful views of the water! And the pool was perfect for the kids to play and the adults to lounge & float. We found a marina close by to rent a pontoon boat & loved that we could keep it right at the dock. Our group ranged from 2 years to 70 years. Much fun was had by all!

Something for Everyone

We’ve stayed here a number of times, and it’s always been enjoyable. From taking sunrise pics to boating, crabbing, and fishing, to cannonballs in the pool, to hoops on the tennis court (and maybe a little tennis), to fun family dinners, to painting parties, there’s always something to do. The place is neat and tidy, with lots of amenities. The owners are super nice, informative, and very responsive.

This property offered many activities and space for our group of 23 family members! We explored the creek while canoeing, played tennis on the courts and were able to come together during meals and game nights. Everyone slept well in comfy beds and appreciated the hot showers after a long day. Central to the historical locations and an hour drive to beaches, the location works!

Fabulous Time on the Eastern Shore of Maryland

My family and I had a BLAST at this beautiful property. We're 16 in number ranging in age from 70 down to 22 months. The house is very well maintained, and the owner responded VERY QUICKLY to questions we had. The temperature outside was in the 90s most days, so everyone took full advantage of the pool. Inside, the AC worked very well. The kitchen was spacious and very well organized. Everything was labeled. The rooms were very comfortable and attractive. The view of the water was beautiful. A number of us went canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding. We also enjoyed several family games of tennis. My family and I have rented a house for a week four of the last five years. This property was, hands down, the best. The only downside was the fact that our grandchildren were very unhappy when we had to depart.

A Special Property. Perfect for Large Groups and Families

This is a special property, meant for large groups and families. The views of the water were just spectacular. My parents loved to sit on the screened porch and watch the grandkids play, as well as the boats passing by. We had between 13 to 15 people staying at various times and there was room to spare. Each family had its own bathroom and we didn't even use all of the 10 bedrooms. The cottage was perfect for the young adults of our family to hang out in the wee hours of the morning without disturbing my 80-year-old mother. I do have some advice for potential visitors: Do Not over pack. This house has just about every amenity an active family could want. They have plenty of toys for the pool, tennis rackets, basketballs, cornhole, field hockey sticks, fishing poles, bikes, ping pong gear, and much much more. There are plenty of outdoor chairs and tables for everyone. The bugs are a concern, but you just need to avoid certain times of day (twilight) or wear a good bug spray. While we were there the weather was particularly hot ( in the high 90s), which unfortunately also meant warm bay water and jellyfish. We still thoroughly enjoyed the water, kayaking, canoeing, crabbing, and fishing. But swimming and paddle boarding were a little too risky. As mentioned, it was quite hot so we did need a break from the weather. Luckily, there is plenty to do within a 45-minute drive. The town of Cambridge has a great brewery (RAR) and St Michaels had great tours, boating, and dining. Also, make a point to visit Emily's produce. It has great food and activities for all ages. I would highly recommend this property for any large group or family, especially the active ones because there is plenty to do.

There's something for everyone at Cherry Point - pool, boat/fishing dock, tennis, basketball, volleyball, big lounge areas (including a screened-in porch). The house and the grounds are well kept, the kitchen is well stocked, and the owners are great at keeping in touch. This is our third time staying here, and we will be going again.

About the host

Hosted by Allen & Kathleen

Host profile image
We live in PA on a small farm. With a large and extended family we often sought vacation rentals off the main drag... We searched for properties that offered something for everyone and a place for us to reconnect and create memories. Cherry Point was one of those amazing rentals which we visited with our family of 20+ people in 2016. It was a vacation to remember with members of our family from ages 6-83 years old... all enjoying their week. We recently decided to purchase something on the Bay and couldn't resist Cherry Point when we found it on the market! We hope you make as many memories as we did and return to visit year after year...

Why they chose this property

Having vacationed here at Cherry Point, ourselves, with our family and a few friends, we know what fun this place can be! Every single person found something that they enjoyed at Cherry Point. The older members of our family enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch (they didn't want to leave! Books in hand, they relaxed and took it all in) and watched the teenagers on the water and the younger kids playing badminton on the back lawn by the water. The views were amazing and melted our stresses away. This place is MEMORABLE.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of room for everyone, easy access to the water and plenty of room to play, crab, make memories, relax, and bond. (If you're looking for night life and the commercialized boardwalk life, this is not the place for you.) We think this property is unique for what it's not: It is not commercialized. Come learn about the Eastern Shore of Maryland and fall in love like we did!
