Newly Renovated Secluded Luxury waterfront cottage with private deep water pier!

Ivy Cove is located in the The Soundings neighborhood; a family community designed exclusively for boating enthusiasts. The placid waters of Mill Creek, which is considered one of the finest natural harbors available from Chesapeake Bay. Only ten minutes by boat to the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay, yet, when you look out over the waters of Mill Creek you have the feeling that you are on the pine-wooded shores of a beautiful Northern Lake.

A newly renovated waterfront cottage with a warm charming appeal capture the unique features of this 1965 home. Take in the beautiful view of Brooks Cove, an inlet off of Mill Creek, from the large wrap around porch while enjoying the morning sunrise. Spend your afternoons paddling around the creek inlets and the evenings relaxing by the fire pit watching the bald eagles sore over the cove. Or take a short ride to beautiful Solomon’s Island. For breath-taking sunsets visit Solomon’s Pier, or take a stroll down the boardwalk to Cone Island.

Additional Amenities:
Outdoor Shower
Barbecue Grill with utensils
3 Kayaks (1 sit in; 2 sit-on)
Bistro Lighting
Corn hole

There are two security cameras located on the property for your security and mine. The first camera is located on the front corner of the home facing the driveway and the second camera is located on the beam above the porch facing the fire pit and the dock. All audio is turned off and these cameras do not face the inside the property.

Fantastic
My family had a wonderful stay at Ivy Cove. We were in town for our niece’s wedding and it was close enough to participate in all family activities but far enough away to be a peaceful haven to relax. The house is beautiful. Beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the fire pit and game room. The owner was fantastic. We would absolutely stay again in this amazing home.

Absolutely stunning!
This cottage was everything the listing said and so much more. This was our first time to the area and our favorite thing about the entire trip was the cottage. Beautifully renovated, it had everything. We got a lot of rain and enjoyed sitting on the peaceful porch listening to the rain and the birds overlooking the creek. On Saturday the sun came out and the kids were able to fish, kayak, and roast marshmallows around the large fire pit. Inside, the cottage was full of entertainment. Arcade games and a jukebox loaded with great music. This place has everything and KJ was a terrific host. We can’t wait to go back again.

Fantastic property and host!
The property is exactly how it's pictured except the pictures don't do the recent renovations justice. The tilework in the bathrooms, the outside decking and hardscape, and the wood floors throughout were absolutely beautiful. The house was stocked with towels, linens, and kitchenware. We just needed to go to the grocery store and we were set! KJ even had it decorated for the holidays. We enjoyed watching wildlife from the windows in the mornings and taking advantage of ALL of the games in the rec room in the afternoons. KJ was a great host. He checked in with us without being intrusive and he made check-in/check-out easier than a beach rental.

What a find!
The pictures do not do this home justice! It’s so much better. Every detail inside is tasteful and understated. We came to visit Solomon’s Island and hit Oysterfest, but found ourselves at home more than anticipated… dropping a line in the water, taking out the kayaks, sitting on the porch, playing pinball, eating crabs. And most of all, the host is amazing. KJ was responsive and went above and beyond with little extras that made our stay that much more special. I can’t wait to invent a reason to go back!

This property was exactly as described and worked great for the group we had traveling. KJ has done a great job with this property to make it very comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our time on the patio and wish we would have have been able to have another day or two to enjoy even more that the cove has to offer.

5 stars all around! The owner thinks of everything.This is the second time we have stayed, house both times was super clean, plenty of activities at the house itself: kayaks, cornhole, fishing & crabbing or just sitting and watching/listening to the wildlife. Basement has an old fashioned jukebox with a great mix of oldies/classic rock and a pinball machine. Close to a state parks for hiking and Solomons Island for great dining. Thank you again KJ for an awesome stay, again.

Family Celebration
Quite: This riparian home sits in a mature neighborhood along the headwaters of a large creek. Neither car nor boat noise is obtrusive. Secluded: Large trees on the property, and throughout the neighborhood, in addition to the natural topography of the area provided uninterrupted privacy. Outdoor Comfort: The deeply overhung wrap around porch and generous seating enabled hours of reading and lounging for our party of 5. The double hammock and hexagonal picnic table also enjoy shade from the tree canopy. There is a park bench on the pier and foldable chairs available for even more seating. Indoor Comfort: A new 3-piece suite in the living room, along with a ceiling fan and flat screen, rendered evening entertainments a delight. The kitchen has EVERYTHING - full stop! The bedrooms are cozy with a ceiling fan in the primary. The bathrooms, like the kitchen, have updated tiles, fixtures, etc. Bedding and towels are all new and soft. Activities: Three kayaks & life vest, fishing polls, pier, corn hole, pin ball, and arcade games were a real hit with our crowd. All implements are clean and in good working order. We also enjoyed evening constitutionals in the neighborhood. The Host: KJ is welcoming and kind. It is obvious that he takes great pride in this listing. The house and environs are all well appointed and maintained. We have stayed in many VRBO listings in the past and can honestly say that this is one of, if not the, best.

Chilling in the Cove.
The place is awesome. Everything that you need to have a nice relaxing time with the family. The game room downstairs was a huge plus for the kids. So many things to do at the place and in the area. The place is secluded with many wildlife friends and critters. We would definitely recommend for great family time together.

This is a beautiful part of the world. I came down with friends to fish in the Chesapeake. We not only had great fishing, the accommodations were wonderful. There was a birdfeeder and we must’ve seen 15 species of birds including one beautiful one I’ve never seen before, a summer Tanager

Beautiful, clean, and fun getaway
We stayed in Ivy Cove for four nights and had a wonderful time. The house is so clean and well stocked, from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the outdoor gear. We loved the water views from almost the entire house, and especially from the porch swings! We had four adults and two toddlers there for the weekend, and there was plenty of space for us all to have fun. The games and Wurlitzer in the basement were a huge hit for everyone too. We loved seeing so much wildlife around the entire weekend- fish, birds, a bald eagle, a heron, a fox, and more! It was also super convenient to get out to the grocery store, as well as to a nice playground and area attractions. KJ was incredibly responsive and helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great vacation. We look forward to visiting again!

Back east trip
Ivy cove is a great house overlooking the cove. Kj is a fantastic host who quickly responded to any questions we had or with anything we needed. We sat on the large deck during an amazing lightning storm, tried to catch some fish, played games and just relaxed for a couple days. Some of our family traveled to dc which is an hour away but it worked for our family. Thanks kj!

Perfect House for Family in Peaceful, Private Location
My husband and I and 4 grandkids had a wonderful 4-day weekend at Ivy Cove. The house is updated, clean, and very well equipped. The owner is truly a host - very welcoming, excellent communication while still respecting our privacy, immediately responsive to our questions. The grandkids (ages 9-12) had never kayaked before but learned quickly and stayed on the water most of every day. The pictures are good but don't begin to convey the beauty and tranquility of this house and property. We will be back!

This cottage was well decorated and totally reflected the effort the owner put in to update this property. The amenities were plentiful, organized, and immaculately clean.
