This is the second time we have stayed and always enjoy the location and amenities. We have had our two granddaughters each time and they love checking the crab pots and the view of the river.

Pete, thank you for being such a wonderful host! Your place was the perfect cozy and relaxing getaway. I’ve been on the road working on a book, and this stay gave me the chance to unwind, spend quality time with Colt (my fur nephew), and find some inspiration.Even though my family plans fell through, Colt and I had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be recommending your place to friends and family!Thanks again,Tony & Colt

Excellent, thoughtful host, beautiful and peaceful location. Loved the authentic beach/water decor and relaxing vibe. Fully functional kitchen. Loved the wine and chocolates and the Keurig selection! Crab pots were already in the water when we arrived. We had a fantastic time. The living space is one level up from the ground requiring the use of stairs to access the house. I don’t think this was noted in the description. Not a problem for us but may be for those with mobility challenges. Overall this was just what we needed! Thank you Pete!

The house was lovely. Everything single thing in working order. We fished, caught and cooked crabs, walked dog around neighborhood, took bike out for a couple of rides, photographed beauty of exterior property, used jacuzzi bath, used the grill. Beds were comfortable. Went to Calvert Museum, walked on beach at Flag Ponds nature park, went to visitor center on Solomon’s island, took a drive to Leonardtown. We appreciated the wine, chocolates and coffee pods left by owner. Saw butterflies, deer, foxes, osprey, vultures, blue heron in neighborhood. Grocery store and fast food only 8 minutes away. Unique property! Loved all the windows.

Property was super clean, very comfortable. Appreciated the extra touches ... we enjoyed the coffee, tea and wine. Always nice to have kleenex provided. Comfy beds and bedding. Nice towels. Truly all the comforts of home. Pete is a great host ... answered any questions quickly and when we had issues with the internet he made sure it was fixed quickly. Lovely, private location as well. Perfect base to enjoy all the area has to offer.
