Kentigern at Scotland Yards

Gaelic for “Chief lord,” the Kentigern rental is the beaming tribute to the Scotland Yards’ creator’s father, Kenneth.
Regal and majestic, the Kentigern commands its presence within the Scotland Yards community with its 4-storey sky high views from multiple levels. This rental also provides the most accommodation and ease for handicapped persons, with an elevator that grants easier access to the expansive house.
An expansive and sleek industrial-styled kitchen has everything you need, and is lined with windows that overlook the grounds. State-of-the-art stainless steel keeps your food fresh and surfaces clean without sacrificing the style. The designated dining area is surrounded by views of the tree tops and the far-reaching horizon of the Bay.
Kentigern is sited on its own 2-acre sandy lot with a beach at the south end. For the adventurer, two kayaks on premise are provided for guest use. Kayak directly on the Chesapeake Bay in mid-morning to hear the calls of the ospreys migrating from tree to tree. The Kentigern provides the most space for you to stretch out, letting you and your loved ones escape to the Bay in peace. For your stay, we’ve included two bicycles that are provided year-round, and two kayaks that are available from late spring to early fall only, for your safety.

Truly peaceful vacation
The property is gorgeous surrounded by nature. You wake up in the morning and sip your coffee or tea listening to the birds and waves sound. Bring your food supply and you will not need to go out. Nearest big shopping is about 30-35 min. Great for families get together. Has an elevator which helps bringing things up to the kitchen in 3rd floor but my husband needed it.Little kids will require lots of supervision with the steps. Bay water was warm, sandy and many pebbles, typical from the area. Some jellyfish and small fishes. Is a definite do over in the near future.

August week on the Chesapeake
This is a higher-end beach property with a wonderful wide view of the bay from window-filled comfortable rooms. As one member of our party is in a wheelchair, the small elevator was important to our enjoyment of the property. Small beach on the property and larger beach adjoining. Jellyfish were out when we were there, so didn't spend much time in the water. But that was just our bad luck, as they are not constant. Spent a lot of time chatting, cooking/baking, eating, and getting around and about, including a day trip to Smith Island from Point Lookout. Heat wave while we were there, but stayed comfortable both indoors and under a shady tree enjoying breezes off the bay. Very nice place.

Renter be aware read our pros and cons that we encountered
To our surprise when we entered the house, the rooms were small with exception to the master bedroom on the top floor. Main issue is the main living / family room was like a sauna and we sweated inside as their dual ac system did not keep it cool to 71. The three sides are all glass windows. the sun shines in from sunrise to sunset. No shades, blinds, etc. to keep heat out, no ceiling fans to keep air circulating. when it was hot 95 outside, it was 85-87 inside. We had to sleep and use other bedrooms. We had a handicap elderly person and the heat upstairs made it unbearable for her and us. We made the owner aware and they basically told us to deal with it as it was so hot The master bedroom on the 3rd floor ceiling fan was broken which again was submitted and we could not use to being a safety concern A broken ceiling fan out on the 3rd deck Ice maker didn’t work, so we had to purchase bags of ice Coffee maker was a cheap one and didn’t work 100% The back screened deck had tons of flys stuck in the screens and mold / mildew on the interior walls. Several kitchen Chairs didn’t have screws fastened or were missing Living room picture on line was misleading. It was crowded with too much furniture No mop or bucket to clean up spills The elevator comes up and opens right into the master bathroom and it’s a non-private bathroom / shower. They list they supply toilet paper and paper towels. They supplied only a few rolls life jackets were available for kayaks and the one there was ripped. None for children, had to ask The pond is a breeding ground for mosquitoes

Everything and more
This was everything I wanted and expected plus more. The house was amazing - only suggestion would be to powerwash the entry areas occasionally - they were fly-specked and looked really dirty. The inside was lovely. The kitchen beautifully stocked with every appliance and convenience you could ask for. There were only two dish towels and no dish rags which was solved by going to the local Dollar store and purchasing some ourselves. The only disappointment was the adjacent tidal pond which we had visited last year and really enjoyed. This year it was almost stagnant and covered in thick moss and reeds. We were unable/unwilling to try to crab from it. We did find another tidal pond down the beach to the north, however. All in all - we had a lovely time and the accomodations were wonderful. Thank you!

Beautiful Home
Beautiful house at a quiet and isolated location. Love the design. Right on the water, big windows give beautiful views of the Bay from every room. So peaceful. Pet friendly. Not for little kids. A lot of stairs but elevator available. Carpets are stained which comes with being near water & accepting pets. one shower broken, really loud hot water heater. Didn't realize people would be walking across the property with their pets. Makes it a little uncomfortable especially with the big windows in master bath shower.

Ibanez Family Annual Fishing
Peggy (/and Emily) - We (Ibanez Family) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at All Four (4) Properties (Ketinger's, Ketinger's Shed, Bruadair, and Bruadair Guest Hours). Thanks for working with us to adjust dates and accommodate our delayed Stay due to COVID-19. We did again enjoy our stay. As for our observation, there was wear-n-tear on All the properties, as compared to our stay in 2019, where handy-man repairs would be all that is needed: (Kentinger's Master Bath Tiles need Repair as they are lose and detaching, Kentinger's Master Bathroom Shower Water Pressure was very Low and Hot Water was absent, Exterior Power Wash would be beneficial to remove the effects of Saltwater in the air and Moss Build-up on Exterior Walls and Outdoor Furniture, Master Bedroom Ceiling Fan needs to be Balanced, Master Balcony Fan Blade is Mission, Master Balcony Wire Retaining Handrail needs to be tightened, Floors throughout Kentinger's were sandy and dusty, 2nd Floor TV's Optical Sound Cable was Broken at the TV Connection/No Sound from the Sound Bar (TV Speakers Only), 1st Floor Hallway Bathroom would not fully switch from Shower-head to Spigot, Ground Floor Bedroom TV was missing HDMI Cable from Mini Cable Box to TV/No TV Signal/TV unusable // Bruadair Sliding Glass Doors are difficult to Open, Close and Lock // Bruadair Guest House was supplied with just 1/2 Roll of Toilet Paper). OVERALL -- We ALL DID have a Wonderful Time and Enjoyed our Stay on All the Properties... THANK YOU!!! Lastly, we (Ibanez and Brightwell) have reserved the properties Again for OCT 2022 (Columbus /Indigenous People Day) for our Annual Gathering... Joe Ibanez

An Amazing One of a Kind Destination
This place is gorgeous! I was expecting a very nice beach house, but this place has everything you could want for a family gathering. The rooms are great and all of them have balconies, except the first floor which has (3) double patio doors for an amazing amount of light. The sunrise and sunsets are beautiful and the semi-private beach is intimate and cozy. The kitchen and living room have all the amenities you could want and this place is definitely suitable for a week long stay.

Not to anyone fault but the weather was awful so for half our stay we were stuck inside with two toddlers. I would not recommend the home for small children as the stairs and bannisters just aren’t kid friendly.

Great place to getaway
Our group of 4 couples had a great time. The location is secluded and there is nothing to do except enjoy the bay, kayak, have fun with family. The house is well stocked and we loved the many balconies facing the water. We struggled with the ac and heat system and found the whole house fan the day we left. Some instructions would have been helpful. There was a bedroom where most of the electric didn’t work. I tried calling the number in the listing and emailed with no response for 2 days. When they did show they had no idea what to do and brought no tools. It didn’t get fixed. We also wanted to know what to do for checkout. I tried email, phone, and the response was I don’t work there any more. There was some frustration but would highly recommend the place.

It would be pretty hard to beat this location - water, water everywhere. While you are inside the house you have the feeling of being on a cruise ship. If you are a birder this is paradise. We had a couple of problems with the house but to me what matters is the response to that and it was immediate - all fixed up in no time. The house has everything you need - the kitchen is especially well equipped. The sunrises are stunning. This is a rural location- bring all the food and drink you need as there is very little close by. Unless you need liquor skip the Ridge market - it is downright scary.
