AMAZING SPACE.
Thank you for your interest!
Come and stay. Enjoy the serene water views, convenient dining, and charming town of Chesapeake City!
Welcome to our totally renovated approximately 850 sq ft space located DIRECTLY ON THE C & D canal with unobstructed views and 2 private entrances for you. The entire space is lockable. You will see everything from tankers to amazing speed boats to nimble jet skis depending on the time of year. Additionally, Chesapeake City has many events. Check their calendar.
We are located off the beaten path but walkable to the south side of town. (The side the Chesapeake Inn is on.) In the summer, you will be able to hear the live bands playing at Schaffers located across the canal. We are far enough away to make them sound like piped in background music. The volume from the bridge traffic is very low as well.
We have room for you to park your boat or skis on our property. Please let us know in advance. The Chesapeake City launch ramp is under 5 minutes away and it is FREE (at the time of this writing). If you are visiting Newark DE or the University of DE, we are located a convenient distance from there as well.....

YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE AND TOWN OF CHESAPEAKE CITY
The canal side of the unit includes your private patio area, a rocker chair, table and (seasonable) outdoor seating for 4. From it you have a direct view of the canal. Please feel free to wave to the dog walkers you will see daily. If you choose to hit the trails, or walk along the canal walk out, and turn left. There is a wooded area, or you can stroll along the canal. Turn to the right, and the town of Chesapeake City is located a few blocks away. There you can explore quaint shops and fabulous dining. In town you will find The CHESAPEAKE INN, THE BAYNARD HOUSE, PRIME 225, THE TAP ROOM, CAFE BY THE BAY (breakfast, coffee) and THE RUM BAR. The RUM BAR is not a full restaurant, they offer premium rums, appetizers and a view of the Chesapeake Inn marina and live entertainment. Most of the spaces mentioned above offer live entertainment in the summer. They are all delightful!
Schaffers and Bakers restaurants are located on the north side of Chesapeake City. They are a short drive over the Chesapeake bridge shown in the photos. Bakers offers live entertainment every Friday and Saturday night year-round. Schaffers has an incredible outdoor space their patrons love. They also offer a delicious Sunday brunch and live entertainment in the summer. NEWARK, DE is also close by if you are visiting their campus, dining, or attending football games this space may work. Other nearby attractions include Chateau bu de winery and The Kitty Knight house. Both are a short drive down RT 213 south. Both offer spectacular views. The Kitty Knight house offers a marina view.
