Your party will have two lovely private spaces, connected by a door, on the second floor of the Chesapeake Paradise House. 1) THE FLAT PLUS ["The Ascended Space"]: Light, modern, open studio loft, creek-view skylights. A private apartment, completely separate from our house downstairs. The Flat has its own separate entrance on the waterside of the house. Luxurious marble bath with deep freestanding tub and large European shower. Leather couch, writing desk, well-appointed granite wet bar/kitchen with microwave and refrigerator/ freezer, bar-height table, electric "wood stove." The Flat has a queen bed, wireless internet with varied workspaces, flat-screen TV/DVD player, HDML cable for Netflix, iPod dock. The Flat is a completely separate space (private enough to often be used by honeymooners!) with its own entrance. 2) THE SOLARIUM (with optional bathroom): The Solarium is unique in that it has windows on all three sides for both sunrise/moonrise and sunset views. This very peaceful sun-drenched space that is attached to The Flat by a glass sound-dampening door. It has a wonderful, white leather couch and double bed, its own small balcony. You access the Solarium from The Flat by taking walking up two steps & going through the sound-dampening glass door. Many guests take a break for a fun, restorative, or romantic retreat; others come to Light Landing to complete writing, art, or other projects. We've had countless happy guests come for their private anniversary, birthday, and even honeymoon, along with their wedding party, all of whom felt they had plenty of privacy and so many have become “regulars!” Even though you can read hundreds of thrilled reviews below, we have captured one that conveys the spirit of the Light Landing experience: “My husband and I had the greatest experience at Shawn’s place. We were greeted by Shawn with a handful of daffodils that she freshly picked out of her garden and placed in a sweet vase. Those little, thoughtful details are all over this Flat! Some of our favorite things about this stay were the super deep bathtub, all of the natural light facing the beautiful bay (there are so many windows!!), the cleanliness, our privacy, the incredibly comfortable bed, and pretty much everything! The descriptions don’t do this place justice. Our expectations were exceeded in every way, and we are already planning our next visit. After exploring D.C. or Annapolis on a couple of the days, we found ourselves excited to get to escape back to this serene gem." Wireless internet (or Ethernet cable for direct connection) with varied work spaces, SMART TV with 40” flat screen and free Netflix or HDMI cable, and for music, a wireless Bluetooth speaker or DVD player with access to owners extensive DVD collection. White ash wood floors and whole house fire sprinkler system throughout. Totally relax and play in Light Landing's shady lawn and bright open spaces; bbq, and fire pit outdoors; tree swings and double hammock; English “tree gardens,” kayaks, crabbing, and our relaxing pier afford a peaceful and inspirational setting any time of the year for your stay in the Washington Metro area. Includes use of pier, screened porch, fire pit, gas BBQ, kayaks, swings, entire country-like acreage. We provide helpful amenities for all seasons like throw blankets for movie nights, extra towels, big floaty things for playing off the pier in summer, and other small touches that can make all the difference in creating your happy, memorable experience. We consider including children, but would want to have a conversation to make sure it’s a good fit for you. An option for bigger parties: Take a look at the whole house listing by searching "Chesapeake Paradise House-Stunning 7br4ba Waterfront" on VRBO. This includes a description of the bedrooms/bathrooms configurations and the various combinations of rooms that you can rent. NOTE: There is another romantic suite on your floor as well as other accommodations in the house, so while you have your own completely separate space, you may occasionally hear the owner or other guests. However, this has been the case for 14 years and we've always received stellar reviews. I’ve asked the guests in the Sunrise Suite to not use your small balcony and to leave the glass door and windows next to it locked to ensure both your and their privacy. FYI… at this time I have not decided whether to get blinds for the really big windows because the view is spectacular, and they are high enough so that no one can see into the living areas from down below and no one goes into the field. You will open your eyes to beautiful reflections on the water at night and gorgeous light in the morning. Even though there is a bed in the Solarium, most guests are choosing to sleep in the Flat, which is darker and more private. If you have a second couple or are using both rooms for sleeping, just know that the Solarium will have early morning light. So far, our guests have been thrilled with us, and we've been thrilled with them! What a cool thing. Hope to see you soon!

February 2025 5The sunrise views were really quite amazing! The grounds and creek are very nice, but since we visited in winter we just appreciated the huge windows and the bright, cozy, well-stocked, comfortable room. We also loved the huge bathroom and shower that got nice and hot. Shawn was very communicative and everything about our stay was smooth and easy.

April 2025 5.00We had a wonderful stay at Shawn's place. It is located in an absolutely beautiful area with a gorgeous view of the water. The place was beautifully decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of places to relax outside with a view of the water. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and watching the sunset each night. Shawn was a lovely host and is a genuine person who wants you to have the best stay!

Chesapeake Paradise truly lives up to its name... a little slice of heaven! The property is beautiful and the loft was super cute and comfy; the perfect place for our Girls Weekend. Shawn could not have been more helpful with directions and suggestions of local restaurants and things to do. Our favorite thing was to relax on the dock or in the yard and enjoy the tranquility.
Shawn’s Waterfront Flat & Solarium I am a solo female traveler that needed a calm peaceful setting. I was so lucky that I found Shawn’s healing and Serene Oasis by the Chesapeake Bay. The entire apartment was beautifully decorated and spotless. The beds were luxurious and very comfortable. Shawn is a very attentive host. She answered all of my questions and was very helpful. I was there for rest and relaxation and she provided exactly that. The views from the bedroom and deck were spectacular. The home is situated in a private peaceful Cove that empties into the Chesapeake Bay. Anyone that needs to decompress should visit Shawn‘s home. Her entire property has an aura of healing energy. I felt pure joy upon arriving and leaving this property. Many thanks to Shawn for opening her home so that others can experience the beauty and nature of the Chesapeake Bay. I will return with other family members in the future. “It’s a little piece of heaven.” With gratitude, Rene
Chesapeake Paradise is a hidden gem with more open space and tranquility than other crowded neighborhoods. We're conveniently located less than 45 minutes from Washington DC, Baltimore, and Alexandria.
Our western shore location allows you to avoid the Chesapeake Bay Bridge traffic, and we offer free parking on-site for all our guests.
Only a short drive to Deale, MD for groceries, dining, fishing, and water activities. Nearby sailing destinations and the historic Annapolis are also just a scenic drive away.
Whether it’s kayaking, fishing, or swimming in summer, or cozying up by the fire with indoor games and movies in winter, there’s always something to enjoy at Chesapeake Paradise.
The Chesapeake Paradise House is next door to the Cottage, offering additional space for larger groups. We also have a charming Camper and Carriage House for a unique “glamping” experience.
Named by Travel + Leisure as the “most wished for” BnB in Maryland, Chesapeake Paradise offers an unforgettable retreat experience with both daytime excitement and peaceful nights under the stars.
