Nice place out on the Eastern Shore! Loved being on the water and catching crabs. The pup liked being able to chase her ball and meet new animals (crabs, big shore birds). There are also deer, rabbits and foxes so if you have a "chaser" make sure to keep them on a leash. Close to beaches and parks, one with a dog beach.

We had a great time fishing and exploring the Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach. The cabin was beautiful and secluded. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock and fishing every evening. There were plenty of deer, bunnies, birds, and crabs to keep us company. Our dog loved playing frisbee and taking walks in the evening. There are lots of fun things to do in the area if you love the outdoors. If you don't mind a little longer drive, Virginia Beach is a great day trip with lots of nice beaches.

Thank you so much for your stay at my home. I hope you enjoyed the stars at night along with a full moon. Maybe next time you'll be able to enjoy a rocket launch from NASA at Wallops Island. I also hope you enjoyed the abundant FREE supply of Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs. I work hard so you can have memories of a Magical Place look forward to you returning.

Overall, the description of the property was fairly accurate, but the grass needed to be cut.Unfortunately, we encountered several significant issues during our stay:  - Insects: There was a severe fly issue (like horseflies) swarming in the area that made being outdoors very uncomfortable.  Even with bug spray, and they bothered our dog as well. We could only stay on the screened porch if we kept a fan running directly on us.  - HVAC / Temperature: The HVAC system was turned off prior to our check-in, and it took nearly 24 hours to cool the house down to only 76 degrees. This was only achieved because of cooler, overcast weather and by running four fans on full blast, which created enough noise to make conversation and watching TV difficult. Due to the heat, we could barely sleep the first night, and on the second night, we opted to sleep on separate couches downstairs because upstairs was still very warm.  - Water Access: Wading into the water to use the kayaks was difficult due to the shallow, muddy bottom, which stirred up a foul odor. We were able to do some fishing off the pier and utlize the crab pots.Ultimately, this was not the getaway we had hoped for, and we decided to check out a day early.

Thanks Ken for the nice review. You must have missed that not only do I have 2 queen size beds upstairs that sleeps 4 comfortably I also have the 2 fold out sofa's that sleep 2 each comfortably. I'm not understanding your comment. The sleeping quarters have been explained in detail how the rooms are laid out in the description section of my ad. Thanks again for your stay and look forward to having you back soon.

Great cabin on the Bay!

Randy’s place is such a unique cabin with a ton of character! He was very communicative with us prior to the trip to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The location was perfect. Completely private with your own oyster bar at every low tide. We spent two nights but will be back for sure!
