About this property

Waterfront estate with gorgeous pool, pier, 3 acres of entertainment!


**Note: Pool is open and heated from May 15 through Labor day. Upon request, the pool may be open/heated during other times (April to November, depending on weather) for an additional propane charge per day. The hot tub is open year-round.

This home has everything for enjoying waterfront and poolside living, while also being very convenient to major tourist attractions! The house is set in a park-like setting on 2.7 acres. Historic Annapolis is just 7 miles away, Washington D.C. and Baltimore are easy day trips - less than 30 miles away. Large, heated swimming pool with waterfalls, awesome waterslide, tanning ledge and 8 person hot tub. Large patio perfect for gatherings with gas and wood burning fire pits and plenty of seating. Huge yard with all the yard games you can imagine: volleyball, tetherball, basketball, horseshoes, ping pong, bocce ball, croquet, ladderball, cornhole and more! In addition to the open yard, there are peaceful walks through wooded/wildlife areas and another lawn and picnic area right at the water's edge! Bikes in a variety of sizes (helmets provided). Plenty of room to play for the kids. Deep water pier and sandy beach on a quiet creek with access to the Severn River and plentiful wildlife. Swim, kayak, canoe and SUP without having to worry about boat traffic and waves. It is just a few yards to the Severn River, and then 6 miles by water to the US Naval Academy, historic Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy exploring the water with 2 kayaks, a 3 person canoe, 2 SUP boards, and a 4 person paddle boat. Abundant wildlife, including a resident pair of blue herons, osprey, deer, and fox, plus the occasional bald eagle sighting. Great fishing off of the pier. Life jackets, fishing and crabbing equipment are also provided. There is a vacant boat slip at the pier - bring your own boat or rent one from a local marina. Beautiful community on point of land surrounded by water. Plenty of parking. Community tennis courts and playground are less than a 5 minute walk away. Extensive network of hiking/biking trails covering over 100 acres are a 10 minute walk away.

For rainy days and nighttime, the lower level of the house is an inside party dream, with a home theater area with a huge 75 inch TV and theater seating, a bar/pub area with large bar and seating for 7, and a rec room with fireplace, pool table and shuffleboard table. There is also a bedroom on the lower level with a flexible layout - 4 twin beds can be used separately or 2 of the beds can be joined together to make a king bed. A large full bathroom with steam sauna is also on this level. The main level of the house has a formal dining room with table that can accommodate 12, a formal living room with baby grand piano, and a kitchen with stainless appliances, granite counters, seating for 10 and all the cooking appliances you could need. The large two-story family room attached to the kitchen has peaceful wood and water views and plenty of seating, with a fireplace and a 65 inch TV. Powder room and laundry are also on the main level. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, each with a dedicated bath (bedrooms 2 and 3 share a bathroom). Master bedroom has a king bed, and a luxury bath with a jetted air tub plus large shower, dual sinks, heated floors and a heated towel rack. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed. Bedroom 3 has 2 full/double beds. Bedroom 4 has a queen bed. Two queen-sized air mattresses and comfortable couches can accommodate extra people.

Note: The pool is open and heated from May 15 through Labor day. The pool is heated up to 85 degrees during daylight hours only. During especially cool days it might not be possible to maintain 85 degrees at all times. Upon request, pool may be open/heated during other times (April to November, depending on weather) for an additional propane charge per day.)

Family reunion
This home was perfect for our reunion with our current 12 member family traveling from London, Seattle, Portland, Virginia and Washington, DC. The size of the house and the property allowed everyone’s needs to be attended to in terms of space. The swimming pool with slide, the river with kayaks and a canoe, the swing set and tire swing kept all ages entertained and happy.

Everything you could want for a family
This property had everything a family could want, especially for our five grandkids aged 1-6. The pool, hot tub and patio were wonderful and we spent most of our time there. The kids also loved the home theater setup and the arcade game, pool and shuffleboard.

Great for families…something for everyone!
We all loved our stay at this property! Large spaces, very clean, well appointed, and beautifully landscaped. Quality linens. The kitchen & pantry had tons of appliances and all of the necessities. The grandkids were either in the pool or on the tire swing the entire time.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Shay

Host profile image
We (Cindy and Dave) have lived at the property for 17 years. Cindy grew up in the area and still has a lot of family here. Dave is a native of West Virginia and is a retired Naval officer. Being a native of the area, Cindy knows many of the best kept secrets for touring, etc. - and loves to share them with guests!

Why they chose this property

Cindy grew up waterskiing and crabbing on the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Her goal was always to own waterfront, but also wanted a large yard. After looking extensively, they found this property, which used to be part of a large farm that encompassed all of Kyle Point. We fell in love with the peace and quiet of Fox Creek. With almost 3 acres of land, we also had plenty of room for a pool and big yard for the kids (and adults) to play. We designed and built the house in 2000 and have loved living here. We love to share our home with others and watch them enjoying themselves in our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The best of both worlds - waterfront to enjoy all the water activities PLUS a large pool and hot tub for those that prefer the pool life!! Plenty of room to spread out, and all the parking you need.
