We have lived at Bay View since 1961 and love it. We never tire of the beautiful changes on the water, and spend a lot of time looking out the window. Our five children grew up here, live in the area and return regularly. We are active in our church and enjoy family, friends, golf, bridge and guests. We feel very blessed.

Bay View is a beautiful and comfortable place to spend your vacation with our pool, porch, dock, library, games, and comfortable home you can wile away hours or days. Our yard slopes gently to the water and small boats can be launched here. We have plenty of room for boat parking.

If you want to explore the Eastern Shore, many area attractions are easily accessible. We will equip you with a detailed map and the Eastern Shore guide book Off 13 as well as recommend restaurants and "must see" places.
