Item Description
4-Nights in the Keepers Duplex!
Accommodates 6
The 2 ½ story keeper’s duplex has been renovated from top to bottom. The rental will include both sides of the duplex, with the adjoining shared wall open so the entire house can be enjoyed. Each side of the duplex includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, one half bath, a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, updated kitchens, central heat and air, a screened porch, and all the modern comforts and conveniences of home. Many of the home’s original features have been retained and restored, including hard pine floors, cast iron heaters, deep window sills, doors, moldings, and eyebrow windows. The interior is decorated with a mix of old and new and includes photos from museum archives and locally built furniture, as well as a one of a kind table made from the reclaimed wood of the dismantled Cedar Point Lighthouse. The kitchen cabinets were handcrafted locally and the tile that was laid captures the character of a 1925 home. To add interest to the site, portions of the drywall have been removed to expose some of the features of the original 1 ½ story home, which were covered when it was enlarged in 1925.
The grounds are completely fenced with a private entrance and beach access. The site is an idyllic place to slow down and enjoy uninterrupted time with your family and friends. Since this mixed-use lighthouse site is still a fully functioning site, in addition to being a vacation rental, it will continue to welcome the public during the summer season for tours of the grounds.
Located just north of the mouth of the Chesapeake, The Cove Point Lighthouse is 45 minutes South of Annapolis and just over an hour from Washington, DC and Baltimore. Cove Point is easy to get to, but feels like it is a million miles away from it all.
