Delightful Thanksgiving Weekend

This home was just right for our 22 member family. The deck was a delightful place to relax in the early morning sun and the kids devised so many games to play there throughout the day. It is a bird watchers paradise in the early mornings and evenings. The board walk to the water was so peaceful and quiet each morning. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The house accommodated our two folks with disabilities -the lift and so many first floor bedrooms were accessible and easy to use. The beds were great throughout and plenty of bathrooms. Ginger, the owner, was so responsive and generous. It was an easy house to live in and to enjoy everyone being together. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Virginia Townsend Rubsam

With 3 married children and five grandchildren we added a second floor to Fishing Cove to accommodate all of us as well as our friends. When our family isn't using Fishing Cove we offer it to other families so they can enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We bought this house because of its PERFECT location. It is only 60 miles from Annapolis so getting there is easy, going from the hustle of city life to perfect peace in an hour's drive. It started out as a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house that we enlarged and improved to fit the needs of our own large extended family. Then we decided to offer it to other large families for their vacations so they can enjoy it too!
