We had an amazing time with my family including my 3 year old grandson and 1 year old granddaughter. The property was stunning. Great layout of the house and very private. The views were spectacular and the pool was very inviting. It was our first time vacationing at the eastern shore and it was one of the best vacations we've had. Would definitely recommend.

Another Great Stay

This was our second time visiting the beatiful location. Host was great as always...and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pool is beautiful, the garden super lush, and the house even better appointed than when we last stayed there.

This is a very beautiful property. The pictures do not do justice to it. We stayed as a family of 12 people and were very comfortable there. The house is spacious and very clean. The pool is an oasis. Only downside is that the house is in a very secluded area, but only a 15-20 minute drive to restaurants. Doordash and Instacart are available. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Gorgeous Home, Gorgeous Setting!

The house is really well appointed (high end appliances, fully outfitted kitchen). There are multiple lovely screened in porches. We heartily enjoyed the new heated pool and the dock that was just installed. Our group had an excellent stay and will be excited to come back again!!

Great vacation retreat

Our stay was amazing. The house is beautiful. The views and peaceful location were completely used. We had many fun game nights and dinners around the table, the kitchen easily provided many happy meals. The gas grill, the fire pit were easy to use. The kayaks were a lot of fun. Sitting on the dock enjoying the peaceful quiet mornings was rejuvenating. The pool chairs and umbrellas were really nice. A ping pong table in the garage was a ton of fun too. The extra fridge/freezer was handy and the ice maker was an unexpected treat that was indispensable! Watching the rain from the screened in porches was wonderful too. Beds were comfy and linens were perfect. That being said, the caretaker should do a better job for the owner. There were lights in the kitchen that never worked and made it hard to see. A few knobs on the doors were unusable as the handles kept falling off. 1 of the many dishwashers had standing water in it when we arrived so we didn't use any, just in case. 2 toilets were not very stable and could use a tightening. The groundskeeper did not trim the paths from house to fire pit or pool so we did that ourselves for safety. They could use lights from the house to the pool for safety too. The pool did not stay clean all week and had algae by time we left. We did skim it with the skimmer. One of the upstairs bathrooms could use a towel bar to hang towels and a small shelf to set things for use. These are minor adjustments. A great experience for our family!

Beautiful house with plenty of room to gather for our extended family vacation. The pool was awesome with the crazy heat. The host was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. Kitchen was a nice size for our big group with plenty of refrigerator space and even an icemaker. Nice yard space for outdoor games. Beautiful view of the Chesapeake.
