For those based in Washington DC, the Chesapeake Bay offers one of the easiest ways to step out of the city without committing to long travel. In just over an hour, the landscape shifts. Buildings give way to open roads, tree-lined stretches, and glimpses of water as you get closer to the coast. Tacaro Estate sits within that distance, making it possible to leave the city in the morning and be settled in by early afternoon.
A Different Way to Stay Near the Bay
Many Bay destinations center around busy waterfront towns, especially during warmer months. Hotels fill quickly, restaurants become crowded, and common areas tend to stay active throughout the day. Tacaro offers a different experience.
You can stay on a property with open grounds, a pool during the warmer season (which is open now), and multiple spaces to spend time without needing to leave. The different rooms feel unique and comfortable, with natural light and views of the surrounding landscape.
How to Spend the Weekend
You can spend part of the day in North Beach, walking along the boardwalk, stopping at a café, or sitting along the shoreline. The area is compact, making it easy to explore without planning each stop.
Annapolis offers a longer outing. Check out Main Street down to the harbor – the restaurants, wine bars, and shops are all within walking distance. Back at Tacaro, the rest of your time can be spent relaxing. You can sit by the pool, walk the property, or find a quiet place to spend the afternoon. There’s enough to do without feeling like you need to do more.
Food, Drinks, and Local Flavor
The Chesapeake Bay is known for its seafood, and you’ll see that reflected across nearby towns and in Annapolis.
You can find crab cakes, oysters, rockfish, and steamed crabs on most menus, often served with views of the water. Casual spots offer outdoor seating, while Annapolis includes smaller restaurants and wine bars tucked along side streets.
At Tacaro, breakfast is prepared fresh each morning. Pastries are made on-site, including croissants that come out warm, and herbs used in the kitchen are grown on the property.
