The house was great. Plenty of space for everyone and a beautiful setting for everyone to enjoy. Communication was very easy and we received prompt responses. The owner even purchased a coffee grinder for us. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend this house.

We had 5 couples staying in this property for 2 nights for reunion and crabbing. We enjoyed this place a lot! We had a wonderful reunion and caught quite a lot of crabs with good size. We brought our own kayaks to do kayaking over there. The water was calm to do kayaking. Most of boats on the bay were electric boat, so it was quite. The check-in assistant Stacy was very nice and helpful! Thanks Stacy! We may come back next year!

Perfect location!

We were in the area for the Naval Academy induction. Traveling from Ohio and Alabama, we always choose to stay somewhere that we can relax between sightseeing. This location was perfect for that! Peaceful setting with easy access to local food options. We were able to get to Annapolis in 30 minutes and also did a day in DC. The house is well-stocked with everything you need to cook at home and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area!

ZSR is an absolutely incredible getaway. The home is immaculate and comfortably accommodated my group of 11 people. It's completely updated and even includes amenities like a paddle boat, grill, and fishing rods. I can't stress how helpful and friendly the hosts, Thu and Stacy, are. They made it very easy to ensure we had everything we needed.

Excellent clean retreat

The house and space was amazing, very well thought out, stocked, organized, labeled. Seems like she didn’t know how to return deposit without closing out the case, and she was just waiting for her scissors to be returned. I would write a good review

Thank you for returning scissors. The insurance deposit is not under my control and I'm glad they finally released it.
