About this property

Baydream Believer - Eastern Shore MD Luxury Waterfront Home

Baydream Believer

Formerly known for shipbuilding and oystering, St. Michaels, Maryland, calls itself “The Heart & Soul of the Chesapeake Bay.” This quaint waterfront town on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is rich with maritime history and lined with red brick sidewalks, colorful boutiques, and Victorian homes dating back to the mid-1600s.

Located two miles from the center of St. Michaels, Baydream Believer is a five-bedroom four-bathroom country cape cod resting on an enviable four acres of waterfront property on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Its position on the east bank of the Harris Creek promises easy water access and beautiful views in a relaxing park-like atmosphere.

Baydream Believer offers 5000 square feet of living space (including a screened-in porch) and all the amenities you would expect of an upscale waterfront home, including new hardwood floors, central AC, two laundry facilities, a ping pong table, pool, hot tub, dock, and hammock. As you can tell, it’s all about having the most fun while you’re here!

Inside you will find a stately dining room, a cozy family room with a beautiful fireplace, a media/game room, and an expansive chef’s kitchen. Seeing as Maryland is a seafood mecca, you might as well take advantage of the kitchen’s ample counter space and bring home some fresh, locally caught oysters and crabs for dinner.

Baydream Believer has two master bedroom suites with king-sized beds (one upstairs and one downstairs), two additional guest rooms with queen bed, one bunk room (and four full bathrooms, ensuring that everyone has their own space.

The home is centered around the spectacular 500 square foot screened-in porch with mahogany wood floors and ceilings and gorgeous water views. It’s the perfect multipurpose room, whether you want shade from the sun, sunset dinners, or a relaxing place for card games.

This home is a waterfront wonderland with plenty to do, from tubing and boating to fishing and crabbing directly from the dock. Relax by the pool or in the hot tub, and bring your favorite book to read under the trees or as you swing in the hammock. Evening activities like stargazing and sunset watching are memorable as a clear night will reveal the Milky Way Galaxy directly above.

The Eastern Shore enjoys a long outdoor season from March through November due to its temperate climate. The summer is most popular for its celebration of crab feasts and Plein-Air art festivals. The fall is famous for the massive influx of migratory waterfowl and associated festivals. Situated in a quaint historical locale and steeped in Eastern Shore culture, St. Michaels offers a beautiful contrast to cities such as Washington and Baltimore, both of which make for a great day trip.

Earning several accolades as one of the Top 10 Best Small Coastal Towns in America, one of the top 10 Most Romantic Get-Aways, and one of the top 1000 Places to See Before You Die, St. Michaels is without a doubt a bucket list vacation destination!

Perfect waterfront home
This beautiful waterfront home was the perfect place to gather with friends for a long weekend. The casual elegance of this home encourages relaxation and the opportunity to really enjoy the beauty of St. Michaels. It is spacious and clean, providing everything we needed with a well-stocked kitchen, and fabulous screened porch with stunning waterfront views. The owner is wonderful to work with, and we hope to return to this place again!

Gorgeous home and property
We had an amazing stay here with our family. The home was very clean and spacious for our large family and the grandparents as well. We used the screened porch the most and my children loved the swimming pool. Every night we watched the sun set! The home is located a quick drive to the cute town of Saint Michaels where we enjoyed some meals and shopping. We will definitely stay here again!

Large lovely home; great location
Deb’s house is lovely. The size was more than ample for our adult family of eight. The pool is welcoming, the view of the water is calming and the large screened porch with ceiling fans and views is the perfect spot to gather. Deb is delightful. An all around perfect getaway.

Fabulous screen porch; well-equipped kitchen; very comfortable house
The screen porch is EVERYTHING. Very comfortable porch seating, even on the chairs at the two porch dining tables. The views to the dock and the water are amazing as are the sunsets. Until the last night when it got quite cold we lived on the screen porch while at the house. Comfortable beds and family room (we didn’t use the very attractive living room or dining room). The kitchen is well stocked with a large fridge/freezer, a separate ice maker, two dishwashers, gas cooktop, two ovens, two drip coffee makers, and plenty of plates/bowls/glasses/wine glasses/utensils/cookware/serving pieces. The house and property are very quiet. The posted pictures of the house are extremely accurate. We can only imagine how great it is to stay here when the pool is open. The owner was very responsive and helpful. This was a perfect place to hold a reunion of law school friends. Easy and 5 minute drive into St. Michaels and very easy drive to Easton. Very highly recommend.

Lovely property with water views from every room
Wonderful house and spectacular yard on the water. Pool offered both shade and sun with lovely trees. Large porch made for perfect summer dining and relaxing. Kitchen and bathrooms were functional but could be updated to better meet the level of the rest of the property. Owner warm and responsive. Would stay again for sure.

Fantastic location in St. Michaels
We had the best time staying at this property. The house has the best stocked kitchen of any rental property I've stayed in. The AC worked great, the beds were very comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean. It's an excellent location (close to St. Michaels and Easton) but very private. We were able to catch a few crabs off our dock with the crab pots provided! The whole property is gorgeous- the pool, landscaping, dock and screened in porch. The owner was very responsive (even on a Sunday) when we had a tiny issue with the alarm system on one of the doors. Overall an amazing stay and we will absolutely be back! Thank you!

Do not rent this home!
We were extremely disappointed in how the homeowner treats her renters. We should have known there was going to be an issue when she called us a week prior to the rental date informing us the hot water system was changed and not to take multiple showers at the same time. The house has 4 showers but yet you cannot take 2 showers at a time without running out of hot water. She also informed us that our trash was limited to 3 trash cans. If we had additional trash we would have to bring it to the dump ourselves - not something you want to do on vacation! The TV as not working. When we reported this it was obvious she was aware of the problem but it was our problem not hers. She did have the cable company deliver a new box but expected us to install it - also not something you want to do on vacation! As for the very expensive oven, it does not work! We were on vacation with 2 chefs - I think they know how to use an oven. This oven does not work correctly - burns most food. Now comes return of the security deposit - took 3 weeks to receive the deposit when the contract states 10 days. Also neglected to inform me she was holding money back. One reason was because she had to pay the $20 overnight fee for the cable box! My only recommendation is to not rent this property!

We were a group of college friends celebrating our 65th birthdays. We can't say enough about this house- the views, the comfort, the location to town, the spaces (esp the screen porch), the well stocked kitchen...I could go on and on. We had a blast!

Great Feng Shui
It’s just a lovely home. As soon as any of our guests arrived everyone remarked on how we instantly relaxed. It just has a great warm feeling to it. Everything was immaculate. The screen porch was everything it was advertised to be. Two masters gave a lot of flexibility for the older adults! Owners are lovely and responsive. And there are absolutely killer sunsets every night. We are going to come back if we can!

Peaceful
This was our second stay at Deb's home in St. Michael's, and the best word to describe it was peaceful. We love this home. The screen porch is where we spend most of our time talking, reading, eating, and enjoying the view. The kitchen is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and has several new updates. The pool is clean and a perfect temperature. Every night we sat in the Adirondack chairs watching the sunset. It was magical. The beds are comfy, and the bathrooms are clean and have great showers. It's a wonderful place, and we will definitely go back one day.

Lovely winter weekend getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Deb’s St Michaels home. Because we stayed during the off season we didn’t get to enjoy the pool but we took advantage of the fireplace as well as the hot tub. Deb’s home expertly walks the line between a home and a rental, that is we could tell this belonged to a family who used it but we didn’t feel we were encroaching. And the familiar touches were welcome to make our short stay feel comfortable and easy. We loved the box of toys left for children visitors. We loved the stocked kitchen with staples you didn’t have to bring from home: spices, oils, coffee filters. We loved the views and the coziness of the couches which made us feel like we didn’t have to go site seeing to be on vacation. We also loved Deb’a communication before and during our stay. - not intrusive at all but checking in to make sure we were doing well and enjoying the property. We definitely did. We’d love to come back in the warmer months to try out the pool!
