Charming Waterfront Cottage with Private Dock. Close to Annapolis & USNA

The Beachwood Cottage is located near Mayo, Maryland, on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The property sits on Ramsey Lake and is close to the mouth of the South River allowing for easy boat access to the River and the Chesapeake Bay. The 1940’s Beachwood Cottage sits on 1.5 acres and was once the guest house on a private 6 acre point. The owners of the point have recently reacquired the cottage property and are pleased to offer families and guests the opportunity to enjoy the solitude of this quaint setting. The property abounds in wildlife with regular sightings of deer, fox, osprey and even the occasional bald eagle.
The recently renovated cottage is approximately 1850 square feet of fully furnished living space with three bedrooms, two full baths, family room, dining room and kitchen. The cottage can accommodate a maximum occupancy of eleven (11) people. The upstairs includes two bedrooms and one full bath with a tub. One bedroom, called The Bunk room has one queen, one full and a bunk bed with a twin and full mattress. This room can sleep up to seven. The other upstairs bedroom, known as the Buoy Room, is furnished with a full-size bed. The downstairs bedroom, known as the Crab Room, is furnished with a queen bed.
There is a massive 800 square foot deck with a built-in bar and grill that offers an excellent place for sunning during the day and socializing in the evening. There is a flat screen TV in the living room with cable and a DVD player. The house also has the internet available via Wi-Fi.
Originally a guest cottage, it does sit behind the main house and requires a short walk on its own private access to its own private dock. The dock overlooks a couple of marinas on the quiet protected waters off of the South River. It is equipped with a boat lift and jet ski lift which is available to the avid boater, if they so choose. Because the property is so close to the South River, it is a short boat ride to Thomas Point Light House, downtown Annapolis, and a variety of boat up restaurants. The house comes with two kayaks which is an excellent way to explore the back waters. The dock is a wonderful spot to fish, crab and even swim. The evening sunsets enjoyed from either the large house deck or on the boat dock are magical.
Beachwood Cottage is ideally located for families interested in exploring many of the historical sites in the area. Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Annapolis and the Naval Academy are all within a 30 to 60 minute drive under normal conditions. Airport access is also as convenient with BWI and Raegan International airports within the same driving distance.

Great place to Relax
Was a great place to stay for my wife and I to meet up with family in the area. Well situated with a large outside deck where we enjoyed hanging out around the fire pit. Lots of bird calls and a view out to the water. Short walk to the dock.

Great "Home Base" for family wedding weekend
The property was a great home base for our family who traveled from RI for a family wedding. The property was clean, well stocked, and the owners provided detailed information about the area as well as checkin/checkout procedures. The dock and large deck with firepit were among my favorite spaces!

The property was charming and spacious. It was decorated so nicely, lots of attention to detail but not fussy. Perfect house to just relax. The outdoor deck is huge and perfect spot for dinner and hanging out in the warmer months. The view was lovely. It was a great stay all around, wish we could have stayed longer.

Peaceful Restful Getaway
We spent the weekend with our son, who goes to the Academy, which is just a short trip away but far enough where you are out of the hubbub of Annapolis. Lots to explore, excellent hiking areas and restaurants, and just a beautiful, peaceful setting. The hosts were helpful and friendly and helped to make our stay most pleasurable. We'll be back!

Relaxing getaway
The property is quiet and clean with amazing sunset views of the water. The kids enjoyed kayaking and playing in the yard. There were deer to be watched and books to be read in the peaceful hideaway. The hosts were great and responded within minutes any time we had a question. Our party of 8 will be returning.

Relaxing Family Getaway
The house is perfect for relaxing with the family. The deck is large and has space for all 11 of us to hang out and the yard was huge to let the kids play games. The short walk to the dock for the kayaks was peaceful and gave the kids hours of fun. We loved it and had kids from 4 up to 20 with us.

Tranquil Escape
I cannot say enough about how amazing this property is! Everything was perfect, from the kayaking to sitting by the water to the firepit on the deck. It was surreal to see deer and rabbits grazing in the yard each day. We will always remember our stay here as a pleasant dream, and we can't wait to come back!

Rustic cottage with water view in the middle of nature. Well stocked with the necessities . In addition we had private dock and access to water toys. The hosts were great and answered all our questions. We had daily guests of deer, fox , beaver and rabbit. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic home. Clean , charming and comfortable. The cottage was well equipped and well stocked. The huge deck had an amazing water view with birds and wildlife galore. Nicely secluded but within minutes of everything you could need. Close to Annapolis and DC. Don’t not hesitate to book if you’re considering it. Enjoy

Quiet and clean!
Beautiful property with ample wildlife, clean, quiet and relaxing. The house itself is set tucked away, yet close to town for your last minute grabs. 6 of us had plenty of room and space. Sitting by the dock at sunset was the perfect spot. Just moments from the beach. Communication with the owners was easy and their responses timely. We had an amazing time and hope to be able to return!

Perfect extended weekend
This property is AMAZING! Even better than the listing. Tom and Liz were attentive and answered all of our questions, and have everything you need at the house and on the grounds. Our kids are little (2 & 5) and there was ample space, things to do, and house is kid friendly. We got to watch the deer about 3-4 times a day, particularly around sunset. This is the perfect family vacation home. Thank you!

Great location! Beautiful house, built with love!
This is an excellent place to enjoy the bay, the porch, and everything around. The two kayaks are a plus! We are a family of four and enjoyed the spacious house; however, it accommodates much more people with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. We enjoyed the evenings on the porch around the fire pit and cooking on the large grill. Relatively close to Annapolis and not that far from DC (for people who are not from this area). Excellent place! We'll come back!

Thanksgiving with our Mid
This is our second Thanksgiving at the Cottage at Beechwood. This year we had all four of our kids join us for Thanksgiving with our Midshipman. There were 8 of us and we all were very comfortable with our sleeping arrangements and even with all having a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in the large dining room. We ordered our dinner from Main and Market and enjoyed the beautiful setting. We took an amazing family photo by the dock, enjoyed the fire pit and enjoyed our multiple trips into Annapolis.

Beautiful, peaceful setting.
The updated cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. The deck was large and provided an amazing view of the lake, especially at sunset. With 4 grandchildren ages 10-12, we did wish for more space for them to hang out, especially at night. During the day, the really enjoyed the kayaks and fishing. The steps inside the cottage were a little intimidating for us older adults. Overall though, we really enjoyed our time there.
