ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
This was exactly what we hoped for. Relaxing, peaceful, breathtaking view, immaculate house and the perfect screened in porch. Love the open concept. My husband and I normally go to the beach for vacation. We wanted to try something different. This did not disappoint. The sunsets were great. We were pretty busy. Drank our coffee on the porch looking at the water in the morning. Took drives just to see what was around. Cocktails & snacks in the afternoon. Dinner using the grill. Then sitting down by the water to watch the sunset. If that is what you’re looking for? This is where you want to go! Dave & Ginny (hosts) were wonderful & so friendly. Felt like we were old friends when we chatted with them. The only issue we had. We should have taken more time off. We will fix that next year!!

Perfect location, house, and owners/managers
This cottage on the Chesapeake was even more than the description listed! I was looking for a quiet, secluded getaway with amazing views, and that was delivered. Even better, I was amazed by the home being so well-stocked, decorated, comfortable, clean, modern, and safe. I cannot wait to go back there. Everything promised was delivered and more. If the owners ever sell, please think of me first! Thank you for letting me stay.

Perfect Venue for a Memorable Weekend
My husband and I rented this property to celebrate our 20th anniversary with an intimate family vow renewal ceremony. We stayed with my two children who shared the bedroom with the trundle bed. The hosts couldn't have been more kind and thoughtful in their communications and attention to detail in preparing for our stay. The house was better than pictured, sparkling clean and even had some fun games that my kids enjoyed and that we enjoyed as a family. The setting was stunning and the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We spent 90% of our time on the screened-in porch enjoying the amazing views without worry of bug bites and keeping cool with the breeze of the overhead fans. Even the next door neighbor was kind and friendly. We had just a delightful stay and made so many family memories. I am so grateful!

A Peaceful Retreat
This home is well-appointed and the views over the water are great. Every sunset was beautiful! Nicely shaded sitting areas too. The neighborhood is very low key and quiet. The photos are accurate — it is a small home with lots of character. A/C was great and the screened porch allowed us to sit outside into the evening bug-free. Beds were comfortable and the whole place was clean. Games, binoculars for bird watching, kayak, SUPs and fully-stocked kitchen rounded out the lovely amenities. Reading lamps and accessible outlets for charging items were a nice touch. Water access is a few minutes’ walk to a set of stairs and ramp to the narrow beach area. No real “waves” but from the property you could hear the water lapping at the shore. Very peaceful retreat away from it all!

Simply the best!
Beautifully updated cottage. A incredible view with hawks and eagles flying through the yard. The new owners are great. Responsive and caring without being intrusive. They have thought of everything from all types of soaps to a fully stocked kitchen. This rental is my favorite of all the many we have rented over the years.

Loved it and already looking to go back
If you want to be left alone in a very charming, cozy and well thought out cottage, look no further. Ah! It also helps the views are amazing! I live in Jersey and work in Manhattan, was craving a weekend to disconnect and recharge, and this did the job. We had a minor issue with lack of hot water the first night which got resolved with no fuss. Other than that everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

Dream getaway
It was a perfect way to “get away from it all” The cottage was perfect in every way. The details … you thought of everything! Thank you for making us feel right at home. We loved everything about it; especially the view. We spent at least half of our half on the screened-in porch . We would love to go back!! We came home so peaceful and relaxed

Beautiful retreat
Despite a major storm, we had a wonderful time at the cottage. During our four day stay, we only saw a couple of people. Most of the weekend, we sat on the screened porch watching the eagles, boats, and storm. When we did go inside, we had a nice fire in the fireplace. Best of all, we slept and slept in the amazing quiet! We'll be back!!

Perfect location to watch bald eagles and enjoy peace and quiet by the Bay. The cottage was very clean and so cozy and comfortable!

A Return Trip
This was our second trip to this wonderful property, and we left wishing we had stayed longer. We will definitely return because we love the area, and the home is exactly what we would want if we were to build our own vacation home. It's such a warm and cozy place. It's even better than the pictures and description depict.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet of this house. You can hear the water and small waves, the eagles, ospreys and hawks calling each other and fishing. The light breeze and the sound of the leaves on the trees lulls us to sleep.

What makes this property unique

We provide sheets and bath towels, body wash, shampoo, laundry detergent (hopefully you don't have to do any...its vacation!!) Warm comforters and blankets... Coffee pods and tea pods for the Keurig as well. It can get chilly at night... there is wood for the fire pit outside along the side of the house if you want!
We have 2 smart tv, and the basic Xumo live (not great... we just closed on the house a couple of weeks ago and i want to change because it doesn't include ABC NBC or CBS live for news) The TV is set up to log into your own netflix, hulu, Apple tv, prime video accounts...so if you would like, bring your sign in information and password to stream from your accounts. Remember to sign out/exit when you leave... I always check after each guest stay and will also make sure that is done in case you forget!
A fun app to download when you are staying is the Marine Traffic App... you can download for free and will show you the names of the boats, where they are going and what the boat is carrying!
