About This Home

As of December 2019

If you've been looking for the perfect weekend getaway in Rock Hall, here it is - just a block in from the Chesapeake Bay, walkable to all the marinas and restaurants in town, and the town beach as well. In fact, there is a community marina (for Rock Hall residents) just a few steps away, and an awesome boat launch. This adorable cottage has a newer addition of a fabulous screened porch where you will be tempted to party the night away with friends - or just relax and listen to the osprey. Everything you need is all on one floor, including three bedrooms and two full baths, a laundry room, a beautifully updated kitchen with a breakfast nook. Just 20 minutes to Chestertown's fabulous farmers market and Washington College. Rock Hall boasts 11 marinas, 6 public boat ramps, a gorgeous wildlife refuge, fun restaurants and bars, and is only two hours from either DC, Philadelphia or South Jersey. Make this easy charmer all yours for 2019.
