Our Chesapeake waterfront vacation rental is located close to Cambridge Maryland, (approx. 20 miles) so not only can you enjoy the amenities of our retreat, but also enjoy the many activities offered in Cambridge just a short drive away.

Cambridge is located in Dorchester County, Maryland and is the fourth most populous city along Maryland's Eastern Shore region. Cambridge was designated a Maryland Main Street community in July, 2003 which has led to enhancements of its heritage tourism attractions. Together with other cities on Maryland's Eastern Shore, Cambridge is attracting more and more tourists with its revitalized downtown business district, part of which has been designated a historical district.

Cambridge is a charming historic town on the Choptank River, a major tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and a great getaway destination for those who enjoy outdoor recreation and exploring small towns. The historic district features brick paved streets with parks, a marina, museums, and a lighthouse on the water. It's a perfect day trip for the nature lovers, birders, photographers, cyclists, and paddlers staying at our Chesapeake Retreat. Round out your day visiting their boutiques and galleries, as well as a variety of new restaurants.
