About this house rental

Wake to sunrise over the Chesapeake Bay and unwind by the fire pit as waves lap the shore. With direct waterfront access, fast WiFi, and two full living spaces, this peaceful retreat offers room for families and friends to gather, reconnect, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Bay in every season.

Welcome to The Marram Shorehouse, your waterfront getaway on the quiet shores of Scotland, Maryland. Just 90 minutes from Washington, DC, this serene setting invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and soak in the rhythm of the tide right from your doorstep.

With 7 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms spread across two spacious levels, the home comfortably accommodates up to 14 overnight guests. Each floor features its own fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living area, and private entrance, making the home especially well suited for multigenerational families or groups traveling together. Gather for shared meals, game nights, or movies, then retreat to your own floor for quiet time.

Inside, large bay-facing windows fill the home with natural light and ever-changing waterfront views. Open-concept living spaces, comfortable seating, and thoughtful touches create an easygoing coastal atmosphere in every season.

During warmer months, spend your days kayaking, exploring the shoreline, or collecting shells along the beach that appears at low tide directly in front of the home. As cooler weather arrives, curl up with a book, gather around the outdoor fire pit under the stars, and watch migrating birds drift across the water.

Need to catch up on work? You'll find a quiet desk and chair setup in one of the bedrooms, perfect for light remote work or staying connected while away.

Whether you're celebrating a family milestone, gathering with friends, or simply craving a restorative escape, The Marram Shorehouse welcomes you to slow down and reconnect with nature, your people, and yourself.

We're proud to share this space with guests who value peace, comfort, and meaningful time together. We hope you love your time here as much as we do.

What an absolutely perfect location for our family vacation. I have four children and three grandchildren, and the kids had an absolute blast. This property has a private beach in the backyard. There are turtles, a huge osprey nest, frogs at night and deer on the front lawn occasionally. We went oyster shell picking, swimming (there are jellyfish, but my grandson kept going back in the water anyway). We went tubing and kayaking and crabbing. We built a fire and had s’mores and flew a kite. Nearby is Courtney seafood which is absolutely magnificent. Not fancy, but the largest blue crabs that were caught just that morning and huge snow crabs with an owner who was adorable.As far as amenities, you couldn’t ask for more. There are both hard and soft pillows, washer and dryer on both floors with soap provided, shampoo and conditioner, and body soap in the showers, garbage liners, pots pans, a waffle iron a microwave and a stand mixer. There’s both a kitchen table and a large dining room table, which overlooks the water. There’s a back deck and the front porch, both upper and lower. There’s even an outdoor shower which we used to rinse off after our beach runs. There are beach towels, beach, chairs, and loungers, and many many chairs inside the home. The abundance of bathrooms was so appreciated with the fact that we had 11 people with us, and the couches were large uncomfortable, both upstairs and downstairs. Robyne was extremely responsive.

We enjoyed our stay at the Marram shorehouse! Appreciated the small beach in front of the house (best at low tide), and were able to walk (further out than the high tide line on the sand) past adjacent houses to get to the huge community beach close by. We enjoyed the access to kayaks for kids and adults (and lifejackets), the fire pit, yard games, beach toys, and the house which was very clean. Waking up right next to the bay is amazing - beautiful sunrises right out the window/on the deck. Pretty hard to beat this waterfront location! The kids complained about jelly fish in the water, but that was truly the only downside (they were small, just had to look out for them when swimming). Robyne was a great host - communication was excellent and everything was clear. We also enjoyed the SALT Waterfront kitchen restaurant on the way back home -- delicious seafood and great view.
