Chesapeake Paradise House-Stunning 6+br4ba Wtrfrnt

Chesapeake Paradise ("The Paradise") is a stunning, recently remodeled, luxurious, two-story 6+ bedroom 4 bath waterfront home with stunning views, shady lawn, deck, balconies, elegant entry foyer with double-sided fireplace, leathered granite countertops, & Canadian Ash solid hardwood floors throughout.

The downstairs, which is the owner's partial-year residence, has three bedrooms and a glass-flanked "morning room" that can be used as a bedroom. The upstairs has two full studio suites, each with a living space, small desk, wet bar kitchen, electric fireplace, and luxurious en suite bath, making it possible for couples within a larger group to still have a private experience. Finally, there is a third upstairs bedroom with that can double as a Solarium/Meditation Room with its spectacular views of both sunrise and sunset. The house has gas and wood fire pits, an amazing screened porch, and whole-house fire safety sprinkler system.

NOTE: PARKING/PLANS CONVERSATION W/HOST REQUIRED IF EXTRA DAYTIME GUESTS EXCEED 3 PEOPLE. HOST APPROVAL/LOGISTICS CONVO & VENUE FEES APPLY FOR LARGE GROUPS.

Here is a further description of these accommodations (BASIC nightly rate is for eight occupants--"GRANDE" means $35 extra per night for each additional occupant):

The ground floor:

Here is a more detailed description of the rooms layout to help you decide how we can best accommodate your group (six is the base number of guests -- $35 extra per night for each additional occupant):

- Bedroom 1: "Soft Swedish Carolina Light” (aka The Green Room), with double bed, is the closest bedroom to the water, has two waterfront windows and a glass door leading out to the water. Bathroom is two steps outside your door.

- Bedroom 2: “Sweet Memories of Changzhou" (aka Jamie's Room), has a side window water view and a double bed, with the same shared bath two steps outside your door, making this & Soft Swedish Carolina Light a good option for people who want two bedrooms close together.

- Bedroom 3: "Dot's Room" (aka The Mudroom), is smaller. has a twin bed with an extra mattress underneath. Designed as a mudroom, it has its own separate French door entrance and also houses a washer and dryer in its closet. It can share the same bath at the end of the hall or, alternately, the Mermaid Bath at the top of the steps.

- Study/Optional "Bedroom 4," "The Morning Room," (a glass study off the foyer that can be converted to a bedroom), is a calm, beautiful space with a bar-height glass table and glass coffee table for relaxing in the morning sun or any time, three walls of windows for an intimate view of both creek and bay, a queen-sized sleeper sofa, and a view of the double-sided fireplace in the foyer. It also has a sliding glass door onto the screened porch that could be left open for those who like a natural sleeping space with cricket or bird songs. In the near future (supply chain issues), it will have French doors with cross-reed glass that can be closed off for greater privacy.

- L-shaped Italian leather couch in the Great Room provides a comfortable extra sleeping space. We provide bedding (let us know in advance if you'd like to use it).

- A small but full marble tile bathroom accommodates the downstairs. - Access to the small, upstairs hallway "Mermaid" bathroom is an option depending on how we set up the house for your visit. It has a “step down” shower.

- A fully-equipped "CREEK VIEW" kitchen has leathered granite countertops, bar-height stools, and all the many of the spices, etc., you'll need.

- The Great Room has 9' ceilings and is equipped with a 16-foot sliding glass door that opens onto the very translucent screened porch, making it into a LANAI and almost doubling the size of the living room. This same porch opens onto the Morning Room as well, so a very large, fluid space can be created for gatherings.

- The gas fireplace in the Great Room is double-sided so it can be viewed also from the Morning Room or from the entry foyer, and has remote control for five levels of flame and heat. The 50" state-of-the-art TV above it is directly wired into the internet (no dependence on WiFi) and there are also speakers for bluetooth-controlled music.

- The dining room part of the Great Room has a large Bay view dining table for formal dining, as well as swivel chairs for casual snacks on the water. The sliding doors and windows on both sides can give the feeling of being outside while still indoor and close to the kitchen. The sliding doors also go directly onto the deck making BBQing and outdoor dining easy.

The upstairs configuration:

- Bedroom 5: "The Sunrise Suite" Master Bedroom has a queen-sized bed, windows galore, a wet-bar kitchen, built in remote-controlled electric wall fireplace and TV, Bluetooth speakers, sitting area, and dining area, as well as outdoor lounging/dining on its balcony. It is adorned by a huge master bath with a "retro" natural teak vanity, large rain shower (w/shower jets, bench, and grab bars) and a roomy 68” ivory soaking tub and toilet with spectacular corner-window views of the Bay (best "toilet view" ever!). The Sunrise Suite (SS) was designed by a critically acclaimed architect, Steve Terhune.

- Bedroom 6: the" Romantic Modern Chesapeake Waterfront Suite," called "The Flat," has a queen-sized bed and a luxurious, marble bathroom with a deep, freestanding tub and large European shower. The Flat can also be booked as a separate apartment (was named the most wished-for bnb in Maryland by Travel + Leisure Magazine).

- Bedroom 7: "The Solarium" is unique in that it has windows on all three sides for both sunrise/moonrise and sunset views. This very peaceful sun-drenched space that is attached to The Flat by a glass sound-dampening door. It has a wonderful, white leather couch and double bed, its own small balcony, and can be made into an ensuite bath bedroom with its own closet by locking off the hallway.

- The smaller "Mermaid Bathroom" in that same hallway mentioned above has a “step down” shower, and can serve either the downstairs common space and Morning Room, or can be a private bath for the Solarium.

You'll enjoy gorgeous views from the screened porch, decks, balconies, as well as from the upstairs skylights and upscale sliding glass windows galore....take in the moon and stars, both sunrise and sunset views, and sparkling water, especially dazzling in fall and winter.

Enjoy the gas bbq, firepit, tree swings, double hammock, English "tree gardens," outdoor recliner chairs, outdoor dining table, and the pier for stargazing, crabbing, swimming, sunning yourself, floating, kayaking (two singles and one two-seater ocean), canoe, and bird watching, or just hanging out.

We provide helpful amenities for all seasons like throw blankets for movie nights, extra towels, big floaty things for playing off the pier in summer, and other small touches that can make all the difference in creating your happy, memorable experience.

While the downstairs of the house will be very clean, some of the owner's private possessions will be present since it is only rented for limited times of the year. So far, folks have loved it here and were happy to agree to this special situation. :-)

Also, by request, you can book a special session with me of "The Work," (of Byron Katie), an amazing and very simple form of self-inquiry for relieving stress and solving problems.
Welcome!!! Important Rule: Relax, Have FUN, and Let me Know if You need Anything!

ABOUT SWIMMING AND BOATING

I love to swim off the pier and have done so with a passion for many years! Many guests enjoy swimming here or floating on the inflatable raft. We provide big, fun floaty things since the bottom is muddy. I swim off the pier many months of the year; however, there are some important caveats, and ALL WATER and BOATING ACTIVITIES are undertaken at your own risk. Please read the following if you are considering going in the water:

Please bring your own safety flotation devices (life jackets) for children of all ages or adults who are non-swimmers. We do provide life jackets in various sizes and thickness as the Coast Guard requires that they be with you while in watercrafts; however we cannot guarantee them, especially for children or people who cannot swim. We love that our guests seem to be very careful and use lots of common sense. YAY!

No children under 12 on the pier without life jacket or very close supervision of an adult. (Children in the yard at any time must also have adult supervision.)

The ladder can be slippery and barnacles can sometimes build up and be sharp, so you may need water shoes. You can expect the bottom to be deep "silky mud" (I like it!).

DO NOT GO IN THE WATER WITH A FRESH CUT OR SKIN LACERATION due to bacteria that is sometimes found in the Bay.

NO DIVING OFF PIER OR JUMPING OFF SIDES OF PIER!!!! Experienced swimmers may jump off the end with great care if you FIRST TEST WATER DEPTH as it can change with the tides and become very shallow (plus bottom is very muddy and could have glass in it so wear water shoes if you put your feet down).

Occasionally there are sea nettles here (mildly stinging jellyfish that show up for a few days or even a few weeks (RARE) in late summer, usually for a day or two in July or August; but they’re definitely gone by mid to late September.

Kayaks and canoes are leaning against my house and are there for you any time you want to go out - -two single closed kayaks and one double open (ocean) kayak that is a little heavier (the double can also be made into a single).

I’d love to help you get set up for kayaking if I’m home, and to know that you're going out and for how long. Feel free to text me when you're planning to go out.

Fabulous stay
Our family group ranged in age from 5-84 and all of us had a fantastic time! Beautiful view of the water from the yard and the house. Fun to crab and fish off the pier and take out kayaks and canoe. Perfect yard to play yard games. Plenty of room to spread out in the house and when we had a little bit of rain it was wonderful to hang out on the screened in porch. Shawn was a terrific host, answered any questions and was great at giving suggestions. Would love to come back here again!

Great place to stay near North Beach!
I decided to rent out this VRBO to stay during my wedding weekend to host the rehearsal dinner and get ready with my bridesmaids. This house is amazing! Each room has such character and it has a beautiful master suite where I took most of my bridal shots. The rehearsal dinner was amazing and the host, Shawn, was always willing to help. The view from the dock and the backyard is so beautiful and the location is very conveniently close to Herrington on the Bay. Would definitely stay here again!

Great for Corporate Retreat
We are a remote company and needed a place for a corporate planning retreat. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms to make everyone happy. The views of the water were fantastic and we enjoyed our stay very much. The WiFi is fast. Lots of local dining nearby but we did eat in at least once a day and the kitchen is well furnished. No complaints and we will be booking this location again.

wonderful stay!!
I have stayed at Chesapeake Paradise at least eight times, but have always stayed at Shawn's cottage next-door. While we have loved the cottage, we were even more bowled over and loved this first stay at Shawn's newly-remodeled Chesapeake Paradise House! Contrary to what was written in a recent negative review, Shawn has always taken care of any and all needs promptly and quietly, while always giving us our space and staying out of our way. This time, she even went out of her way to make things work for us by waiving her 3-night minimum to let us come for a short last-minute stay. The first time I walked into Chesapeake Paradise House, I was struck by how much more beautiful it was than how it looked on the website.. Plenty of separate spaces, each with its own character: tasteful, beautiful decor and upscale finishes. I loved all the places to sit and every one allowed all of us to see out to the beautiful shimmering water. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and baking, even spices and condiments, and we didn't have any problems with blown fuses or the other things mentioned in that review; that was not our experience at all. (Having read Shawn’s response, I cannot imagine how anyone would think it was ok to plan a 60 person event that would bring 0ver 20 cars to a venue without checking with the host well in advance!) I could say more, but for now, I’ll just add, "We'll be back!" This peaceful spot is unique even to the Chesapeake Bay

beautiful peaceful and private
The house is beautiful with an amazing waterfront and peer. I loved my time kayaking and the kids (adults now) loved the yard and grill. We had privacy and were greeted by the owner who was helpful and available and still gave us our privacy. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook. The house is roomy and clean. The screened in porch is my favorite place there. We will definitely go to this location again. Thank you.

Extended Family Vacation
My family, which included my parents, my husband's mother and sister, and our two daughters had a wonderful time during our stay at this house. The owner was very nice and responsive to questions. We had a seafood boil outside one evening, and the owner made sure we had everything we needed. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of eight. We enjoyed relaxing on the screened-in porch with a fire in the evenings. The house was so homey and comfortable. We enjoyed taking out the kayaks, hanging out on the dock, and checking the crab traps. A nice, very relaxing trip. We also enjoyed Second Wind Consignments located in Deale. We spent most of our time at this house during our trip, and everyone in our group absolutely loved it. Beautiful views.

They should allow negative stars.
Negative 5 stars. Vrbo advertises the privacy of stays and what I experienced is the exact opposite. I felt watched the entire time. Shawn is noisy, frequently on the property and rude. She made the entire weekend unnecessarily stressful. Don’t expect any privacy or to have the propery to yourself. She lets the guests stay at the property next door and the person living in the trailer in the front yard use the property and dock area. Which is against Vrbo policy! Her dog runs freely on the propery and will come into the house if you leave a door open. She was taking pictures of her dog that had our children in them which was completely inappropriate. We had to ask her to delete the photos which she was reluctant to do. It is a beautiful property. The house was clean but cluttered with the hosts Personal belongings. We had to toss out food because they got infested with ants. There is uneven floors throughout the house which creates numerous trip hazards. You cannot have more than two things running in the kitchen at one time or the breaker will trip (ie. brewing coffee and running the microwave). The AC doesn’t work well. I informed her I was having an event in advance. But she waiting until the day before to informed me of another contact, additional fees to extort money from me. She expects to be informed of any additional people who come to the house and will charge for them! She will count the people and cars you have at the property.
