About this property

5-years young STUNNING home with water view!

5-years-young STUNNING home with OPEN concept, soaring ceilings, hardwoods, gas fireplace, separate laundry room, backyard patio & gorgeous finishes! Enjoy all that the Chesapeake Bay area has to offer -- amazing restaurants & tiki bars, parks, kayaking, fishing, osprey, BBQ, picnics, eagles, swimming, boating, SUP, biking, peace & quiet, & more! Or drive 25 minutes to Annapolis!

Sunny, OPEN concept kitchen/living/dining area with huge center island, large windows, stainless appliances, quartz counter tops. Cozy gas fireplace for cooler evenings. Primary en suite with King bed & two additional bedrooms on main level; 1 other large en-suite bedroom on upper level. Separate laundry & storage room. Back yard with brick patio. Whole-house generator, too!

Bay Brilliance is exactly that…a gorgeous new home with a cottage-feel, and SO many surprises ready and waiting for you to enjoy the brilliance of the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay! Less than one hour from Northern Virginia & downtown DC (only 45 minute drive), with no need to sit in traffic to cross the busy Bay Bridge or the Eastern Shore. As you approach the Western Shore of the Chesapeake, you will feel your blood pressure decrease as you exit the freeway/beltway & continue to your water-view escape!

Westelee Estates is a cozy neighborhood in Shady Side, MD, tucked away on the shores of the West River, a few steps from the Chesapeake Yacht Club and just a short boat / jet ski ride to the brilliant Chesapeake Bay -- the largest estuary in the world. You’ll have a front row seat to the most beautiful sunsets over the water.

The Private community beach across from the home is off-limits to guests; however we can provide you with a private dock for fishing, a place for your children to play, or a place to relax or picnic nearby.

This 4-bedroom, newly constructed home welcomes you from the hustle and bustle of the city and invites you to settle down in the peace and quiet of life with a water view. The neighboring town of Deale offers water sports and fishing charters, fabulous seafood restaurants and places to crack an abundance of local crabs and oysters. Each season offers its own special highlights and festivals to enjoy in Shady Side, Deale, or even Annapolis -- a short 20 mile drive north -- and don’t forget to include a visit to the United States Naval Academy.

Family dinners are an option with a full service set up in the stunning eat-in kitchen. All the appliances are clean and new and the open concept allows entertaining while preparing meals. If you’d prefer, you can grill in your own backyard, with a beautifully maintained lawn & restful dining table and chairs. And dessert? Don't miss the local soft-serve ice cream parlor -- an absolute MUST!

In addition to the great room, 3 bedrooms have wall-mounted, flat screen TVs. Take advantage of the games available for your stay. The decor is beautifully appointed in blue and white with a casual cottage feel and a seaside atmosphere in all the artwork.

The property has a Ring doorbell and security system. The security system is not active during guest stays. There are two Ring cameras monitoring the front driveway and left side porch for security purposes. Please let your host know if you are uncomfortable with the two ring cameras monitoring the driveway and porch so we can disable them during your stay.

We hope you love Shady Side, as much as we do; relax, unwind & enjoy!

Military Bowl Game Stay

The house fit our family perfectly and a great location for our quick stay to attend the Military Bowl Game in Annapolis! We enjoyed the house it had everything we needed, along with comfy beds! Our only complaint was the floors were dirty and need a very good mopping. We enjoyed the beautiful porch and wished the landscaping was trimmed to see the water. Overall, a great place!

Perfect DC getaway with nautical Pottery Barn vibe

Comfortable getaway to kick back, cook in a well-stocked kitchen, watch Netflix in front of a gas fireplace and enjoy a nicely decorated house with our family dog. Host was very responsive when we had any questions.

We loved the house and neighborhood. It’s across the street from the water and there was plenty of space inside for 2 families. The kitchen had everything you could need and backyard was pretty spacious.

Amazing and Relaxing Stay

We had a great stay at this property. It has all the amenities and is clean with a great layout. Our family was able to all stay together at the house but had our own separate areas as well. We enjoyed our time together in the kitchen and living room in the open floor plan. We really relaxed in the morning with our coffee on the front porch. And, the park across the street was perfect for the kids. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful Home

You will not be disappointed with this home. I was sad to leave. The home is gorgeous and so well decorated. Its in a beautiful location. We had our dogs with us and took them for many walks. The neighbors are so friendly and chatted with us many times while I was walking the dogs. One lady even offered them some treats. We had a lovely stay and would not hesitate to book again.

Beautiful!

The property was absolutely gorgeous. It's located in a perfect neighborhood for relaxing walks and pretty views of the water. The house itself was well equipped and tempting to not leave. It was too short of a visit. My only real concern was the park across the street. We were told by the owner of the property that we would need an escort to use that part of the advertised attraction. They had apparently been having issues with neighbors not too thrilled with renters I'm guessing. So we were offered the option to go somewhere else (much appreciated, but our stay wasn't long enough). The property had major draw because of the convenience to the water. I don't know if things have been settled since our stay (hopefully). Other than that, everything was wonderful, and the owners were very nice.
