My wife wanted to stay longer and live in Southern Maryland, so that is a good indication. The cottage is brick, solidly built, well maintained, and has lots of amenities. And very clean. We enjoyed all of the artwork inside. The backyard is nice, and the dock on Charleston Creek is large enough for fishing and crabbing. We caught black drum, spot, and blue crabs right off the dock. At high tide, the water is about 8 ft deep. The outbuilding down at the dock has a really nice screen porch for dinners and morning coffee. Sunsets are beautiful. Bring good mosquito spray; you will need it. My only suggestion for improvement is some nice cushy pillows for the sofa in the living room; it looks pretty but it's a bit hard to sit on. Cell reception is one to two bars, which is adequate.
