Chesapeake Beach House | Mid-Century Modern on Private Beach, Designed by Award Winning Architect!

2 Bedroom House in Chesapeake Beach

Come enjoy living in mid-century modern style, with sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay, all within a short drive from the Washington, DC metropolitan area, Annapolis, Solomons Island, fishing charters and our many local historic sites. This property is also U.S. Army veteran (Afghanistan and Iraq) owned and operated, as well as LGBTQ safe and friendly.
Award winning local architect, James William Ritter III, of Ritter-Norton Architecture, located in Alexandria, Virginia, purchased, completely rebuilt and redesigned this home for his wife and himself, when they began their retirement. The architect's son, Mark Ritter, and his spouse, Nicholas Knowlton, now own the home and want to welcome you to enjoy this unique house and its magical setting. https://www.ritternorton.com/james
Here, you'll enjoy the true modern ideal of blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. Wake up in the morning to the sounds of seabirds calling and waves lapping on the beach. Start your day right, in our open, multi-head, shower stall, with heated floors and protected views of our perennial garden. A huge bank of windows and sliding glass doors makes the Bay the centerpiece of the entire living and kitchen areas. The house draws you outside to enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the veranda, head down the stairs for direct access to a day on the beach or simply enjoy a glass of wine, while relaxing with a book in the hammock.
Disclosure: We have hard water. Most of our renters had no complaints or issues, but it has bothered one or two. Therefore, we decided to be upfront about it, rather than have a renter find out upon arrival. Hard water is a problem you’ll unfortunately find in almost any home in this region. We do not provide refunds relating to this issue, given this upfront disclosure.

Summary: This is fantastic house in a quiet upscale neighborhood, with a private beach area. The house has great windows looking out on the bay. On of the bedrooms has a window looking out at the water. There is also a glassed in porch area for sitting and reading or just looking out a the view.Kitchen is well equipped and the shower is great, lots of water pressure. Had a great time.
Gina G. May 11, 2025 08:45:58 PM
Summary: We throughly enjoyed our stay in this well- appointed and loved home. Owners have thought of everything — there are thoughtful how-to notes for maximizing your experience both in the home and throughout the area. The kitchen is a cooks dream, with all the things you need to create meals to enjoy while taking in the stunning natural landscape. The home offers the perfect mix of natural beauty with access to the technology needed for either remote work meetings (WiFi is fast) or streaming your favorite entertainment. Beds are comfy, shower is hot. Owners are so responsive and kind. We’ll be back!

Summary: An absolutely beautiful, architecturally fascinating, spotlessly clean, well stocked home with views that go on for literally miles. We spent a late winter weekend there with a fire roaring in the fireplace and mussels on the stove. Hosts were exceptionally responsive and very attentive. Highly recommended. One of the best experiences we've ever had in home rentals!
Lara D. Feb 18, 2025 01:21:46 AM
Summary: Panoramic views of the water and sunsets. Loved the elevation of the property and the gorgeous trees that framed but did not obstruct the view. The layout was great and attention to detail throughout the home impressive.
John M. Feb 11, 2025 07:10:58 AM
Summary: Great house. Had everything you need for a vacation rental. Had great views, watched ducks and eagles. Got sharks teeth from beach. Definitely recommend to ones seeking Bayfront getaway.
Leonard W. Feb 5, 2025 10:54:08 AM
Summary: Absolutely amazing place to get away and relax. 3rd time staying here.
Gary A. Dec 28, 2024 01:51:16 AM
Summary: Beautiful place
Katrina L. Dec 24, 2024 08:39:33 AM
Summary: This place is an ideal getaway from the DC area. It's got a well-equipped kitchen, several quiet spaces for reading and relaxing, a peaceful ambiance, as well as comfortable design and smart style. The beach is a super place to explore, and it is highly accessible even in the cold of winter. Life doesn't get much more mellow when you're piping music through the house, and watching the bay change colors in warm, soft socks on heated floors.
Aurelio P. Dec 2, 2024 04:42:29 AM
Summary: Nice mid - century modern house. We enjoyed the stay. The views from the porch to the ocean are stunning.
Warren P. Nov 9, 2024 11:23:49 AM
Summary: The house was amazing! From the moment the front door opened it was a visual feast. The views are incredible, it's quiet, private and very relaxing. There were personal elements reflecting the current and original owners which we found very interesting and the attention to detail throughout was superb! Everything was incredibly well stocked with a multitude of extras.
