We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway in Hays Beach. We were coming up to see our 93yr old Grandmother who lives about 45 minutes away. Our families rented two homes in the area and were able to enjoy our time with three generations that aren’t able to see each other often. The home was exactly as shown, perfectly decorated and incredibly well stocked! We’d absolutely come back!

Perfect getaway for family time

We had a great stay here for the weekend despite iffy weather. The owners have thought of everything-s’mores station and fire pit, gameroom fun for kids and adults, lovely access to beach and walking. There was really nothing missing- and the beds and furniture were so comfortable! Thanks for the great hospitality!

Fantastic Family Getaway

Family had a great time. Dog friendly private beach with no crowds. Got to try crabbing. Caught dinner for two of the nights. Great property with plenty of amenities inside and out. So much fun.

Wonderful start to the summer!

This was our second stay at the Hideaway. We have come to love Hays Beach like a second home. The backyard is beautiful and feels like stepping into a private park. When the sun got a little hot, we spent time hanging out in the sunroom, which also became our bird-watching spot in the evening. We have already started planning for our next trip to this stunning property.

Heavenly Hideaway

Our family had such a relaxing and fun time! The house had everything you could ever need for a beach vacation. And we practically had the beach to ourselves each day! Our 3 year old loved the games, beach toys, and making s’mores. Definitely never a dull moment.

A most spectacular house!

Wonderful house. Beautifully furnished, a place for everyone (6 of us) to relax alone or be part of the group. Great spaces both indoor and out, steps away from the beach. Great value. There is no need to leave but there is lots to do and see in the surrounding towns. . Already want to go back.

Awesome house, tranquil place

The house is perfect for family or a small group of friends. It’s very loving furnished and decorated. The kitchen has everything and beyond. The backyard is a true jewel. It has enough space to have a small sunset party (the vistas are stunning) or have some activities with kids. The sea shore is just a short walk away. We loved every bit of our stay.

Family Getaway at the Hideaway

My family and I had the most amazing time at the Hideaway at Hayes Beach. This is by far one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. The setting is so picturesque and the private beach community is great. Jocelyn has taken care of every detail inside and outside the home going above and beyond to provide all the amenities to her guests. Jocelyn was so quick to respond to any inquiries we had while there and also made great recommendations prior to our arrival. We can’t wait to come back!

Hidden gem!

Our recent stay at "The Hideaway" was wonderful. The bay-front view was breathtaking and immediately set the tone. The cottage was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The host, Jocelyn, is incredibly welcoming and gave us great local recommendations. If you're looking for a tranquil getaway with attentive hosts, this is the place. We can't wait to return. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!

Great spot for a social-distancing family get-away!

We had a very pleasant and relaxing week at the Hideaway. Everyone found places to spread out and do their remote work and virtual schooling during the weekdays, and then we enjoyed late afternoons and evenings at the beach and/or on the kayaks. The bikes were handy for getting in a little lunch-hour exercise. The house was well-equipped and well-stocked, so we had everything we needed in order to relax, enjoy ourselves, and cook some great meals together. The backyard setup with the seating areas and the firepit allowed us to enjoy meals and s'mores out there some evenings, and when rain kept us indoors a couple of days, there were plenty of games on hand to keep us occupied inside. All in all, a great time for the whole family!

Thanksgiving at the Hideaway

We had a relaxing and quiet family holiday at the Hideaway. Lazy mornings relaxing with a cup of coffee on the sun porch. Walks on the beach collected sea glass and shells. A short drive to Point Lookout State Park and we had an interesting afternoon tour of Fort Lincoln. Roasting marshmallows for s’mores in the backyard fire pit and get wood fireplace inside. The property is just as described online with everything one needs for a family vacation. Very clean with lots of space. It has a well equipped kitchen. All kinds of recreation equipment: kayaks for the beach and bikes to ride the rural roads. While we did not meet the owners, they communicated before arrival with all the necessary details and checked in with us several times to ensure we had found everything we needed. All in all, an excellent experience which we highly recommend.

If you need to heal, find water!

This property was absolutely beautiful. It is located in a very remote area down a dirt road. There are just enough neighbors that you don’t feel alone but you basically have the beach to yourself. The landscaping is gorgeous. There’s a feeling of being outdoors while you are indoors. I could wake bathed in the sunlight coming into this home every single day for the rest of my life. You can see the bay from the front of the house and gorgeous marsh area in the rear of the yard. The hosts thought of everything you could possibly need. There’s everything from a toddler potty seat to doggy poo bags! The game shed was so much fun and is air conditioned. There are more games in the house. The beds were very cozy which was nice after a long drive. Jocelyn was very kind and communicative. I traveled alone with my children to celebrate the memory of my late husband. I was nervous and overwhelmed but this property and Jocelyn made it so stress free and helped me create beautiful memories with my children.

This place is magical

Two words to describe the Hideaway at Hays Beach = magical and thoughtful. I love the Chesapeake Bay and have rented many homes on both sides of the Bay over the years. The Hideaway is my favorite. It is cozy and comfortable and very nicely decorated. The seasonal decor was adorable too. The location was incredible. I love a place where I can see the stars in that way that almost makes it seem like you can touch them. The beach was close and amazing and we did hunt some sea glass, which is my absolute favorite thing to do. The backyard is amazing. One of my friends called it an "oasis" and it truly is. But what I loved most about this rental was the thoughtful touches. Anything we could want was there and many things we didn't know we wanted until we saw it. The smore's station, the many throw blankets, the stocked kitchen, the fire pits, the incredibly comfortable beds, the access to Netflix -- just all of it. Simply perfect. And the communication with the owners was also amazing! They gave us great restaurant recommendations and answered any questions we had practically immediately. This was an amazing girls' weekend away to celebrate my birthday and we had the best time. Every single person on the trip wanted to stay longer and we've already decided this will be an annual event. Thank you for putting together such a truly special place.

A relaxing weekend getaway

We arrived Friday evening and unloaded the vehicle. We then walked the property to get a feel for the layout and sat on the benches at the creek and enjoyed the serene view as the sound of the waves of the bay crashed in the distance. We then met some friends at a local Mexican restaurant (Hacienda los Guayabos) and then returned to house where we gathered around a bonfire and with drinks in hand and S'mores from the provided s'mores station on the menu was a perfect relaxing autumn night in a private beautiful hideaway. Saturday was all about the F's Family , Food and Fun. Members of my family joined us for a crab feast and the grill was stocked with cookout staples like burgers, chicken, hotdogs and sausages. We put the cornhole boards to good use as the competitive juices came out while enjoying some relaxing tunes. After the family departed we had a lowkey night with a bonfire and tv before bed. Sunday morning we got up and and had some coffe and returned to the benches by the creek and took in our final morning. We then started the packing and loading up as well as tidying up a bit. After saying our goodbyes to our home for the weekend, we went to a highly recommended local restaurant (Pier 450) for a delicious brunch. It was a great weekend that didn't seem long enough. Thank you to Jocelyn and the Copeland family for providing such a great property to enjoy!

Beautiful Chesapeake

We are not strangers to the area, my wife having grown up in the area, but each time we stay on the Chesapeake we feel at home. The Hideaway is so nice that you don't want to go back your actual home! It is furnished as if it is a year-round residence, no cheap or mismatched furniture and appliances. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen is has everything you need and it works. The yard and amenities are top notch. If you enjoy bird watching, sit in the back yard and take in the bird activity over Deep Creek and its marshes. There are ample kayaking opportunities. We are looking forward to returning to the Hideaway

Nearly-Perfect Stay

Not my first rental in the Scotland area and was not disappointed! Jocelyn was communicative and kind and the house was lovely, cozy and clean. The house wasn't 100% ready at check-in, but she gave us advance notice and as it happened, we were running behind anyway. The property is well equipped, steps from the beach, has a beautiful backyard for warmer months, and was a great size for two couples and an infant on a winter retreat.Our only complaints were the tap water (very smelly and not pleasant to shower in, much less to drink - definitely bring your own bottled water), the lack of access to the game shed in the winter (the photos did not imply that this was a seasonal offering - maybe our mistake?) and the lack of storage in the kitchen. The owners have tons of food, kitchen equipment, and a huge selection of platters and dishware available, which seems like a perk until you try to fit your groceries somewhere. The small amount of counter space is also chock-full of decor (not unlike the rest of the house), so with the four of us cooking three meals a day we had to keep most of our food in the laundry area. For a longer trip, this would have been a bigger issue, but a small nuisance in comparison to everything else about this lovely home. Overall, the Hideaway clearly takes hospitality seriously, has a good cleaning crew and a spectacular location. We hope to visit again someday!

A True Gem

Wonderful house in an amazing, remote location. Just footsteps to a sublime, quiet beach. Ideal for families looking to get away from the city for a break and to enjoy nature. House very thoughtfully and creatively decorated, full of charm, and also practical and well-equipped. Wonderful garden and back porch. Easily merits 5/5!

A Family's Dream Getaway - Very close to DC!

This rental property is a hidden gem! Perfectly situated near a crabbing creek (we caught a lot of blue crabs), it's ideal for family adventures. As parents with small children, we found it to be one of the best rentals we've stayed in. The thoughtful hosts have stocked the place exceptionally well - from coffee to cookware and toiletries. Everything we needed was at our fingertips, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The backyard is a standout feature, with a fire pit for cozy evenings. Highly recommended for families looking for a well-equipped, convenient, and enjoyable getaway!
