Loved the beautiful, panoramic views, the hot tub, the well-appointed, well-organized kitchen! Trina was great to communicate with and we were amazed at all the little thoughtful details throughout the house that made our stay so wonderful.

Immaculate home. As shown in the pictures. It looks small as you drive up but it is very spacious and very well laid out; all 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are bright and roomy. The kitchen is the best equipped that I have seen in a rental and the storage placement of all the items is intuitive.

Tranquil home base for visiting the area. House was new, clean, well stocked, quiet, on the water, and had outdoor amenities. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

We had a wonderful time together at this place. You can be proud of what you are providing. Went to the Mad Hatter Wine Bar and heard Maurice and friend sing their shanties last night. Our friends also ran into Teresa who was with the Monday evening sing and had a friendly reunion. Other things we did included the German Bakery, the Habitation, the Farmers market, We alI bought hats. We are leaving with memories of enjoyable people, beautiful scenery and new knowledge. Your instructions were great and I hope we left everything in proper order so prep for the next guests will be simple. The house was well equipped, comfortable and a great place to retreat after a full day of being tourists.

I’ve been staying in holiday rentals for several years. Without a doubt this is the nicest, cleanest holiday rental I’ve ever stayed in! The property and house are absolutely stunning and equipped with everything you need. The directions were clear on how to get there and access the property. The location was private, but just a short drive away from amenities. We especially loved the hot tub. Communication with my host was excellent. The only problem is that we only were able to stay three nights. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the Annapolis Royal area!

Great property, close to the water and very quiet. We had 6 family members for a couple nights and we all had good space, comfortable accommodations, lots of room to prepare meals, etc. The home is clean and new and was a great space to enjoy for a few days. Our only request would have been a few chairs we would be comfortable to use near the fire pit, otherwise everything was wonderful.
