Sandaway Waterfront Lodging

We love it here. I come to hideaway from northern Virginia often. The town is quaint and the place private, quiet and incredibly lovely. Don’t tell too many people or we’ll never get a room. Great get away any season! Thank you Sandaway

Spent a peaceful two nights at the idyllic Sandaway– comfortable rooms, beautiful property on the water, and friendly staff. Enjoy coffee and cookies at any hour, take a walk around picturesque Oxford, or sample the local cuisine at Robert Morris Inn or Scottish Highland Creamery (or both!). Would highly recommend for a romantic weekend getaway, family vacation off the beaten path, or a place to relax with friends! Make sure you get a breakfast basket one morning so you can enjoy local pastries and coffee on your screened in porch. Thanks for a great long weekend!

My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the Sandaway on our honeymoon. We found and booked through a third party site because we thought the pictures were beautiful… truth is, the pictures didn’t even do it justice. The building is nostalgic and beautiful, and the view of the Chesapeake Bay from the private beach was just paradise. The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast baskets each morning were the perfect start to each of our days. We were thrilled to start off our marriage at such an amazing place, and plan on revisiting the Sandaway for romantic anniversaries for many years to come!

Beautiful place for some peace and quiet time. If you’re looking to relax on the beautiful shore, this is your place.
I will say though that it is a case of the room looking better on the website than it really is. We were at the beach view room and despite the beautiful porch with incredible scenery, it could use some renovation, for the shower and some other parts. The place is also more expensive than some other
Places in the area and refusing a one night stay guests is not something I appreciate.
Having said that, everyone are friendly, the place is beautiful, they give you everything you need to enjoy great time at a beautiful place. Would definitely consider coming back.

Gorgeous Property, Great Location!
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in the Tuckaway Cottage.
The cottage was immaculate, top to bottom, well kept and as quant as can be, so charming!
The staff were friendly and delivered the cutest breakfast basket to our room every morning.
The property has amazing views of the bay and is simply beautiful! They have lots of nice sitting areas, hammocks and a cute boat house stocked with drinks and snacks!
We just loved the location, the surrounding neighborhood and the natural beauty of the this well kept property! Can’t wait to visit again!

Deceiving B&B, sorry. A basket of supermarket packaged food it’s not a breakfast from a B&B. To be told that we can go to a restaurant nearby (owned by them?) and say that we’re a guest at Sandaway so to get 10% off our breakfast tab it’s also not worthy. Do I care to save 10% on a $ 20 – 30 tab, get dressed and go out for breakfast? Do I want to spend extra money for a hot decent breakfast at a restaurant while staying at a B&B? When you have paid hundreds ($ 600) for this «B&B» it just doesn’t feel right or comfortable. These are details that you would want would to know in advance so to make an informative choice… just like to know that to go to the bathroom I have to get out of our locked quarters, it means to put something on so to be decent.
The place it’s an old and well-​kept home on the water’s edge.

My husband and I recently spent two nights here as a gift. We were lucky to be able to stay in one of the waterfront rooms with a porch on the second level (River 108). The view was spectacular and we loved being able to enjoy breakfast out on our porch. The room itself was also fabulous and we really enjoyed the nice tub in the bathroom and the super comfortable sheets on the bed. Upon check in we were greeted and given information about Oxford and our choices for breakfast (breakfast basket delivered to door or 15% off breakfast at nearby Robert Morris Inn). We initially thought we would only want the breakfast basket one day but we ended up enjoying it so much the first day we changed our minds and had one delivered the second day as well. As for our other meals, there aren’t too many dining options in Oxford, but the Sandaway is located within walking distance to the Robert Morris Inn, Schooners, and the Scottish Highland Creamery (which has amazing ice cream!). We were also able to drive to one other restaurant in Oxford and took the ferry another day to St. Michaels. Our time at the Sandaway was so relaxing and we loved being able to lounge out by the sandy beach and grab one of the snacks available from the boathouse. Everything was so clean and well maintained and we were impressed with the whole experience!

I used a groupon to take a little 2 night getaway to Sandaway. This place was absolutely beautiful. The waterfront view was spectacular. I stayed in the tuckaway cottage. I was initially a little sad that I didn’t have one of the screened in porch rooms but overall no complaints. The room was well maintained and so comfortable.
I will definitely go back again. Well worth the 2 hour drive from the Baltimore Area.

Booked a two day getaway for my boyfriends birthday. We stayed in a waterfront room and really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast basket was perfect. Definitely will be back!

Great waterfront bed and breakfast. The breakfast basket was great. The room was comfortable and the view tranquil. It was cold when we came (January), but still nice, and I bet it’s outstanding in the warmer weather when you can really enjoy being outside!

This was my first experience at a bed and breakfast. My husband and I booked the 2^nd floor waterfront king with the beach view. I liked that it targets adults and it was peaceful. It had a separate and private entrance and a screened porch. We went in December so it was too cold to take advantage of the beach. But the grounds are beautiful and serene. Our room had the old charm that I had read about and I truly enjoyed it… it took me back to being at my grandmother’s house. The breakfast basket was nice. It included pastries, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. I have no complaints nor regrets. I definitely plan on returning.

What an incredible spot on the Eastern Shore of Maryland! Oxford is a lovely, quaint town, and the Sandaway is simply wonderful. Treat yourself to a visit to this lovely inn… and the innkeeper is amazingly warm and accommodating! Just the way you would hope it would be!

Nice quiet place in a quiet
…a gios place to relax and think about nothing

I normally don’t tend to read reviews but I did for this occasion.
I booked a Deluxe, King, bay front room for our One year anniversary. I didn’t know what to expect but I convinced myself that since the room rate was so expensive, it would be good.
Well it did not disappoint at all, my wife and I were very pleased with the property, the room and the staff. This is an ideal place for a nice little getaway.
We plan to come back again.
Since the Sandaway does not serve food, I would recommend heading over to Schooner’s, steer clear of the Robert Morris Inn as it is over prices and the food is average.
The Sandaway breakfast basket was perfect, just be aware of what you are getting and there should be no problems. We sat out on our porch and enjoyed the basket selections.

What a beautiful setting for a vacation. The private beach front property was perfect for a relaxing few days and served us well for day trips to other towns. The service was wonderful and everyone was kind and helpful. We loved dinners at local restaurants, as well as in St. Michael’ s and Easton. Delicious coffee!

We stayed here a couple of years ago after discovering it on Groupon. We ended up driving from New York in August and were desperate to get out of the city. Coming from New York, Oxford MD was such an odd place.
The property itself is beautiful and very well maintained. Our room was very nice, the sheets were AMAZING (we ended up registering for them for our wedding almost 2 years later they were THAT memorable), and the screened in porch was awesome.
The price for the room was a little on the steep side considering the quality of the room. And the town of Oxford MD has a population of about 10. There are like 3 restaurants in the entire town, it was so small it was almost eary. We ended up driving to the next town over for a Farmer’s Market and antique shopping which was lovely.

Went here for a weekend getaway. The place was v v quite. Which is exactly what we needed to escape the craziness of inauguration in dc. We got in pretty late so sadly we missed the sunset on the lake. I was looking forward to it. … The rooms (ours was water front one) were decent and cozy.
I am taking away one star for breakfast. Though they came in delightful baskets there was not much for people like me who don’t like too much sweet things +beware if you are a diabetic).
Planning to come back in summer. Looking forward to it.

My partner and I loved this place. We purchased a daily deal for one night stay last July, which we used in December for our anniversary. Although we were only there one day and night, we were truly transported the whole time we were there. Sandaway is a wonderfully quiet and restful location. There are no tvs in the rooms. I’m not even sure there was internet — we didn’t bother to check. The view of the river from the waterfront porches was much more compelling than checking email. I found myself drawn out of bed at 2:00 in the morning to go down by the water — just to watch the moonlight play on the surface and take in the utter, complete quiet of the surroundings.
All that peace and tranquility comes at a price we could not have justified without the daily deal (I think the room we had is $ 300 a night regularly), but we have kept our eyes open for other savings. If you can afford it, or can get one of the daily deals, I can’t recommend Sandaway enough to anyone who needs to «get away from it all» and decompress. I very much enjoyed reading the guestbook that was in our room, and appreciated all the stories from guests who’d stayed before us.
The handful of staff we interacted with were great, including the kindly older gentleman who brought us our breakfast basket and substituted the carafe of coffee for hot water and tea bags upon our request.

I just spent the weekend at Sandaway, and it couldn’t have been more delightful. Ben the innkeeper accommodated our late check-​in by leaving our keys, maps and guides in the office for us. The room was lovely and spacious, with a king bed, desk, sitting area, fireplace and dresser. The bathroom stole the show with a huge bath tub for two and separate dressing area. And the property couldn’t have been lovelier — right on the shore. My only qualm was the breakfast — for a bed and breakfast, I would have hoped for a more substantial meal than a continental spread (pastries, yogurt and fruit) — an omelet would have made this a 5-​star review. Overall, I would certainly go back and visit again!

My wife surprised me with this one-​night getaway, and I am very glad she did! Ben & the staff are wonderful — courteous and efficient. The room we had (#109) was on the ground floor of a 2 story house with a tremendous view, out across the rolling green lawn, bracketed by an huge white oak tree and a triple weeping willow, onto the scenic water channel. Sailboats, ducks — even a Loon — graced our view. It was very quiet at night, and the old claw-​footed bathtub in the spacious bathroom offered a great hot, steamy soak after some brisk bike riding. Nice library in the older part of the main house, with TV and wi-​fi access… even the great 2^nd half of the Kansas victory over Ohio State! Breakfast basket was good & plenty for 2, especially after a late full dinner at Latitude 38 (recommended). Interesting other guests, and beautiful grounds. Ended with a fine Sunday brunch at nearby Robert Morris Inn (also recommended).
The Groupon sure helped make this affordable — and we’ll definitely be back!
