House is clean. All beds are horrible.

The house was super clean. But every bed in this place is absolutely awfull. From the master to the guest rooms , every single one is one step below prison quality. I had rented this to keep my elderly parent from having to drive home 2 hrs at night. They ended up leaving at midnight because the beds were so uncomfortable and sleep was impossible. There was also zero propane for the fireplace outside. This seems to be a theme on this website , gorgeous houses with awfull bargain basement mattresses in every room . I think I'm officially done with VRBO.

Awesome little place!

We were in town for a fireworks festival and if they have it again next year this is where I wanna stay. The beds were Super comfortable and I loved the tub. The most important thing for me, was that it was Nice and Cool! The air conditioning was on point. I didn't try out the grill or the fire pit, bc we didn't stay that long but the patio was beautiful!

Large house with lots of separate areas. We only had 2 people but the house had lots of space for a group including 2 living areas and a game room. The location was great for exploring the Calvert Cliff area and Solomons Island.

Hallway smoke detector No battery 6. Cutters were full- hard rain it was overflowing very unkept 7. Neighbors yards were unkept which made the property seem undesirable 8.

Great location, responsive hosts

We had a great time! It was a great location and everything we needed was close by. Looked for a place to stay close to St. Mary's College to visit our daughter. Hosts were great communicators and very responsive. Talked to them about a few issues. Seems to be a fairly new rental for them. Nice updates. Lots of room to spread out. Talked to hosts because seemed to have the bare minimum of supplies available, but brought more when we needed it. Just not used to having to call during a stay. Master bed mattress needs to be replaced. Was really loud and woke everyone up when you just turned in the bed. Otherwise, this was a perfect place for us.

Great experience away from home

For our first time using any BNB this was a great experience. The property owners were very kind and very responsive to any messages or inquiries. In addition they were quick to offer additional arrangements for guests beyond what the beds would accommodate. 100% zero complaints here. We loved it and intend on booking this property again in the future.

Great hosts

We had a great time and Shewell’s house. Everyone was very comfortable and the location was great. The kids loved going to Solomons Island, the Calverton, Marine Museum, and Prince Frederick’s indoor swimming pool. The adults had a blast eating at the local restaurants walking in the local parks and enjoying the water festivities. The house with stocks with everything that was needed. We cooked dinner and breakfast every day, and there were enough supplies to make it easy. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful trip to Southern Maryland.
