Further details for this holiday house rental in St. Michaels, USA

Setting of Great Beauty: The home is on 3 acres tucked against a quiet cove for great kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and crabbing. A pine grove along the shoreline is a shady retreat with hammocks and furnishings to watch sunsets. The dock, with 2.5 ft MLW, offers pilings for tying up a small boat. The sandy beach allows for finding sea treasures, building sand castles, and setting up a beach chair for reading and wiggling your toes in the sand. Your mornings will be filled with the sounds of waterfowl, and you will observe the bounty of Chesapeake wildlife during your stay. Heron, swan, osprey, and eagles all visit the cove regularly. Sandy Pines is less than a two-hour drive from Washington, DC and three hours from Philadelphia and is located in the village of Bozman, five miles from St. Michael's, Maryland. You can walk to the Audubon preserve, just up the street, as well as into the fishing village of Neavitt, its public boat launch, and a great playground for little ones.

Review Submitted: August 22, 2006 Date of Stay: July 2006
Sandy Pines is a home away from home. All amenities are exact with many additional comforts on the property. The kitchen is a gourmet treat with spices and extras already stocked. The private pool was just right for all six children ages 7-14. With beach and pool toys already on-site, the children found fun at the end of their finger tips. Daily sunset watching from the hammocks and the screened-in porches provided the adults with unbelievable relaxed moments. We were impressed with every aspect of Sandy Pines including the bar-b-que pit that we used to grill and roast marshmallows for s'mores one evening. If you enjoy bird-watching or gazing once in awhile at the wild-turkey and deer which pass in the distance, then you will love this property. If you enjoy beautiful landscapes with colorful crape myrtle, hydrangea bushes, black-eyed susans, mature vinca and bold and beautiful pines, then this is it! Kayakking, canoeing, crabbing and fishing were all in abundance. The kids took full advantage of every activity including a game of badminton with everything already provided. The owners truly thought of a retreat center for families and small groups when furnishing Sandy Pines. From the furniture on the inside to the furniture on the outside, every piece is appropriately placed to maximize your stay. It is minutes away from "downtown" St. Michael's and the town of Neavitt. If antiquing and casual window shopping is what you enjoy, then this too tops the activity list. All and all, I would recommend this piece of heaven to anyone searching for quiet and peace in their daily life. Joy and tranquility is Sandy Pine's middle name!

Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
Your house was perfect for eight adults looking for a relaxing Fall getaway weekend. We enjoyed lively conversation over good wine and cheese around the big dining room table, and cooked up a storm in your well-appointed kitchen. We had coffee in the mornings in the Adirondacks down by the beach and again after dinner on the screened in porch. We paddled kayaks down along the shoreline at sunset and rode bikes to the little village of Neavit just down the road (where we descended on the potter and bought everything in his shop!). We were lucky to be there when the Audubon bird sanctuary across the street was open, and hiked lazily one afternoon through the fields and woods and shoreline. At dawn, my friends stepped out the back door of your house and startled a mature male bald eagle on the ground next to the pool! And at dusk we stood quietly in the yard and watched deer and wild turkeys in the field next to the house.

I read an entire book in three days, a record for me, sitting in the comfortable and quiet sun room. Four of us played golf just down the road at Harbourtowne one day, and we sent a contingent into St. Michaels to shop, eat lunch, and buy fresh fish for grilling back at your house.

Your house is so comfortable, and the setting is so pretty and quiet, that it would be impossible not to get relaxed and happy just hanging around. We love it there.

We enjoyed the books and maps and wi-fi (at one point there were three lap-tops fired up around the table--we were slightly obsessed with the pre-election coverage). And the bedrooms provided both privacy and beautiful views.

Thanks for sharing your house. We'll be back!

We first stayed at Sandy Pines four years ago and have returned every summer since. My family has stayed in many vacation rentals both in Europe and the US and it is rare to find a home like Sandy Pines. What makes Sandy Pines unique is it feels like you are staying at a friend's home. The house is stocked with games, books, videos, pool toys, badminton set, and an excellent kitchen. We love being able to use the two kayaks and canoe. The house even has 3 bikes for guests to use. I have stayed at 2 other rentals in St. Michaels and neither compare with what Sandy Pines offers guests. We have already contacted the owners to inform them we will be returning again next summer.

We had such an enjoyable and relaxing time at Sandy Pines. The house is like new on the inside and we felt very at home. The views on the water both from the shore and the dock are wonderful and its less than 10 minutes driving to the quaint shops and restaurants in St. Michaels. We will be back!

My husband Tim and I spent the most delightful fall
week at Sandy Pines. In fact we so thoroughly
enjoyed the property, that it was a struggle to tear
ourselves away for dinner in St. Michaels.
The home is sensitively appointed and carefully
maintained...the early morning and sunset hours are
peaceful and inspirational... you come away inspired
and refreshed. We are looking forward to returning and
hope it will become a tradition for us.
