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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment. Conveniences include a phone, as well as a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Peaceful retreat
We really enjoyed our three days at Beachwood Cottage. The location is very tranquil and charming. The cottage is cute and the setting is bucolic with the water views and extremely peaceful. The cottage is about 25 mins drive from Annapolis, which was great for dining and visiting the Naval Academy. The closest town (approx. 10 mins away is Edgewater, where you can get groceries etc.). There are also some really pretty trails in both Edgewaters and Mayo. The cottage was well kitted out for cooking and we most of all enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening and enjoying the sunsets. We had a few questions here and there and Liz and Tom were very responsive. We did not use the kayaks, but they are provided for use. The boat dock was pretty, but we didn't walk on or sit on it as it had a lot of guano on it sadly. We enjoyed the fire table and the whole scene though – a very relaxing spot.

Lovely Property
If you're in search of a property with a sleek, modern kitchen and ensuite bathrooms, this won't meet your expectations. However, if you dream of a charming house on the bay with breathtaking views and an incredible deck to enjoy them from, then this is exactly the place for you!

Teen birthday weekend getaway
Our group of nine 16 year old girls had an amazing weekend here. They were able to (by choice) pile into one bedroom, have a mini dance party on the deck and enjoy the amazing river/bay. This is a great property and I am already thinking how we can get back for another long weekend. Tom, the owner is extremely easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Refuge for respite
We loved our stay at the cottage. The weather was absolutely beautiful which meant every waking hour was spent outside on the deck of the cottage or at any one of several nature parks nearby. The serenity was just what we needed: mornings spent gazing at the water; evenings spent watching beautiful sunsets from the deck and/or pier, staying up well into the nighttime by the fire pit. The deer visited the yard multiple times daily adding to the serenity of the property. The only thing lacking was the availability of washcloths and facial tissues in the bathrooms and dishcloths in the kitchen. With shopping close by, we were able to resolve that little glitch ourselves. Since our daughter comes yearly to a camp in the area, we look forward to coming back next year and the year after that and the year after that. And will look forward to seeing Liz and Tom again.

Edgewater Gem
Several family members and I went on a fishing trip out of Edgewater. We stayed in this wonderful cottage on the water. The house was immaculate and everything we needed aside from food was provided. The check in and check out were very simple and the host gave us contact information in case we needed anything. The location and overall property could not have been any better. We would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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!
