"Located on a seven-acre point at one of the narrowest spots on the Chesapeake Bay, this still-active lighthouse—established in 1828—is Maryland’s oldest continuously operating light and includes a 40-foot brick tower and a keeper’s cottage expanded into a duplex in 1925. The entire house is available to rent (with options for smaller parties to take one side), and outdoor features include screened porches with bay views and a beach where kids enjoy hunting for shark teeth and seashells." - Nicholas DeRenzo
