About this property

Peaceful Cambridge Home on Jenkins Creek

While we do not include linens/towels (EXCEPT DURING THE MONTHS OF JANUARY THROUGH APRIL!), we know you'll find other provided amenities, our convenient location, waterfront dock, and amazing views, to well make up for this. It also provides additional time for cleaning/sanitizing and preparing the house and property for our guests. (Note: Once booked, we can provide guests with linens/towels for a nominal fee.) During the months of July and August, a minimum stay of 7 nights is required. An exception to this is the last week in August immediately before the Labor Day weekend, which rents as a 6 night stay arriving on a Saturday and departing on Friday, at the start of the holiday weekend.

Now that you've decided to vacation in the Cambridge area, we hope you'll choose our home on beautiful Jenkins Creek for your stay. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this fully furnished, one story, 3 bedroom 2 bath brick home has an in-ground pool 2 person spa, and is surrounded by 1.5 acres of lawn and trees with 460' of water frontage providing views of the creek from most rooms.

You'll love visits during the cooler months when you can build a fire in our living room's raised hearth fireplace. If you travel with your laptop, our home is equipped with wireless Internet.

Choose a good book from our collection in the mahogany lined den, connect your gaming system into the 32" flat screen HD TV, watch a movie on the Blu-ray disc player from our selection of DMD's, or choose from a wide selection of board/card games for all ages.

Day trips include dipping your toes in the Atlantic Ocean or hanging out on the beach in Ocean City one hour east of Cambridge, exploring historic Annapolis and the Naval Academy 60 miles west just over the Bay Bridge, or spending the day at Baltimore's Inner Harbor or Washington, D.C., both about 1.5 hours from Cambridge.

We hope you enjoy the Cambridge area and our home as much as we do!

Peaceful Get Away

What a property! We were in town for my father’s memorial service and there couldn’t have been a better property for my family to gather during a time of loss. The pool provided plenty of healthy distraction for the kids and the water access and view provided peace for the adults. We will absolutely be back. Teri and Lauren take great care of this property and provide thorough communication. Don’t look anywhere else if visiting Cambridge.

A perfect home in a beautiful setting!

Teri and Lauren’s home perfectly met our family’s needs, and was exactly as advertised. We appreciated all the home comforts, from the extremely well-stocked kitchen to the beautiful pond, vegetable garden and pool outside. The communication with Teri and Lauren was exceptional from the time we booked until we checked out, and we really appreciated the binder full of helpful restaurant suggestions, including detailed notes about each restaurant, The location of the home is beautiful, and we enjoyed watching the sunset over Jenkins Creek each evening. The house is only five minutes from downtown Cambridge, but feels like you’re way out in the country. We could not have hoped for a more peaceful, comfortable home to spend a few days!

4th of July 2024

Our family had a wonderful, relaxing time at Baer Necessities on Jenkins Creek. For birdwatchers, there are several resident herons, ducks, osprey, and terns in addition to the usual backyard birds. Crabbing from the pier amused the kids. But they preferred the swimming pool more often than not. The kitchen was very well equipped, which was a nice surprise. The fireworks at Cambridge were also a must-see event. Would totally rebook!

Girl's Weekend

The place was perfect for our college friends reunion. Town was less than a 5 minute drive for restaurants and shopping, and we appreciated having the pool to escape the heat. There was plenty of room to lounge about and reminisce and play games. We loved our time here and Teri was very welcoming and easy to communicate with.

Family vacation

We had a lovely family vacation at a beautiful home with everything we like. It was in a beautiful creek with wildlife, a wonderful pool, the canoes and dock. Very private and beautiful property with a garden. The game room was awesome! Beautiful pond area. Everything was well keep and clean, as the inside of the home. Very comfortable and clean!! Loved the tvs in all rooms, even though we didn’t need to use most of them! We enjoyed just sitting outside and gazing at our view. Thank you Teri, for having us!

Peaceful stay

Our family of four enjoyed a peaceful stay at Bare Necessities! The house was well stocked with everything we needed for a week on the Eastern Shore. Teri communicated throughout the process, which made preparing for the stay very easy! This house is in a wonderful location and a short ride to many different attractions, but we ended up spending most of our time enjoying the dock, creek, and pool at the house. We look forward to a return visit.

Great Family Vacation

Myself, husband, 2 adult daughters, son in law and 5 yo grandson stayed for a week. We took our boat and enjoyed crabbing and fishing. Weather was a bit dreary but we still got to enjoy the pool and hot tub. House was very clean and had everything we needed, including games for the little one. The only time we left the house was to go to the grocery store. The family enjoyed it so much, we are hoping to go every year!

The owner stated make yourself at home and that was very easy to do. The house was clean and had everything you could need and more. Too many kitchen items to list and plenty of games for all ages. We spent most of our time in the pool and enjoying the many things to do outside. This home is in a convenient area for site seeing/exploring. It was a wonderful week spent with family and friends!!

Amazing place!

This is the 7th VRBO we have stayed at since covid started and it was by far the cleanest and most well-maintained. The house was amazing, the pool was pristine, and the views were perfection. We spent our days by the pool (the loungers and umbrellas were perfect) and just moved into the screen room for our meals. The binder left with local menus with handwritten notes on local restaurants was very appreciated. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great family getaway!

We were looking for a break from our busy schedules and we definitely found it at Baer Necessities. Our stay was absolutely wonderful and accommodations were just perfect. The weather cooperated so we could have windows open with constant breezes through the house. We were all so able to cook some delicious meals in the well equipped kitchen. I really loved how the pool and dock were located perfectly to allow the kids to be at either location and still in my sight. We will definitely plan to return to enjoy the property and all that the Cambridge area has to offer. Thanks for having us Teri and Lauren! It was a pleasure to meet you at the end of our stay.

Best vacation property

The experience was phenomenal. Well maintained property with ample facilities. Amazing hosts. Communication with Teri was easy. We were given all details upfront. Check-in was very easy. Home was very neat. There were instructions on how to use all the facilities hence we did have to bother Teri. But Teri was very helpful and checked on us regularly to make sure everything was ok. Property is better in person compared to the listing photos. The area where the property is situated gives lot of privacy as it’s in the dead end of the road with creek behind and on one side of the house. The feel is like is you are far away from the urban areas but you are just 6 minutes away from the downtown. Downtown has good restaurants and coffee/breakfast places. All the places of interests is within 30 minutes. We spent some time in the downtown understating the rich history and visited the marina and the light house. Kid enjoyed the DVD collections and the music in the den. Pool and hot tub were well maintained with ample chairs and umbrellas around the pool. We spent most of the time in the pool. Kitchen has all the necessary utensils. Veranda is a great place to spend evening and morning time with view of the creek. It’s also a good place to have dinner. There is a game room in the garage with Ping-Pong and foosball tables. Overall it’s a great value package and relaxing place. The house is perfect for a fun filled family vacation. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and plan to visit again.

About the host

Why they chose this property

For years we crossed the Choptank River bridge and drove through Cambridge on our way to vacations in Ocean City and were intrigued by its quaintness. We spent a few long weekends exploring the area, decided to purchase a home, and found our property on Jenkins Creek. We've decided to share our home as a vacation property. We hope you enjoy our home and the Cambridge area as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our home is located at the end of Jenkins Creek Road overlooking the water and only several minutes from downtown Cambridge with its unique shops and restaurants. Minimal local traffic make walking, jogging, and bike riding safe and pleasurable. The school and city park at the town end of Jenkins Creek Road (1 1/4 miles away) have tennis and basketball courts, play areas for kids, and views of the Choptank river. The Jerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh, with its public boat launch, fishing docks, and picnic areas is only about 2 miles away. Also, because of our location, you can explore the Cambridge area without the hassle of the beach traffic on Route 50.
