Rod 'N' Reel Resort

It is a great location on the water in central Chesapeake Beach. Currently, it is being heavily renovated and will soon have rooms available overlooking the marina and the Bay. There are several restaurants on the property, including The Dock where we had delicious crab cake sandwiches for lunch. Also on the property is a very nice railroad museum featuring the early 20th Century railway ties to Washington, DC, and the Chesapeake Beach steamship terminal that facilitated about 500 ships plying the Bay to Baltimore and surroundings. Finally, we were extremely gratified that when I had to go to the nearby ER with a sudden onset of lung problems, the Rod And Reel graciously comped my wife a room for the extra night she had to stay at the property. Real service!

The property is currently under construction so the view from the parking lot is not what it once was, and will be again, when the improvements are completed. I do like that you’re in the “ heart” of Chesapeake Beach with several restaurants within walking distance as well as a few fast-food places. We had a lovely view of Chesapeake Bay from our window!

The view from the rooms was amazing to look at the water. The restaurants were walking distance. Most places were open until 1am - 2am so we were able to get late night food and drinks.

We enjoyed the room, view, great food and peaceful environment. The commute was perfect too. We were looking for a quiet staycation getaway by the water to escape the congested city and we found it!

Staff was nice. House keeper was sweet and seemed happy. Bed was comfy. However, there was no extra blanket or bed spread. It was fine though. I brought my own. The soaps in the shower were nice. Shower was great. Good water pressure.
