Bunk house stay
We have stayed at the main house and now at the small bunk house next door. The location and the amenities at this property make it a great place to stay. We have stayed at a number of places on the Eastern Shore, but this one is by far the best.

Pleasant and Relaxing
The Waterfront Cottage is so comfortable, clean, and welcoming. The Cottage sits not too far from the water dock and has a spectacular panoramic view. The Cottage is well equipt with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. We plan to return soon to enjoy the area again.

Waters' Edge Studio Apartment
Very nice studio apartment for up to four people, with boat ramp and dock. Owner was very responsive. The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped with four bunks (plus a trundle), excellent air conditioning, modern well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and deck with gas and charcoal grills. There is easy access to fishing in surrounding bays and creeks, but at low tide the channel between the dock and bays is quite shallow (about a foot deep). The owner provided access to kayaks, paddleboards, tube, water skiis, plus crab pots to catch your own. Nice small island about a mile offshore with a beach. Lots of wildlife in the area. Take binoculars.

Tidal water peace
The quiet and scenery are spectacular. The cottage is comfortable and nicely appointed. Had some problems with Wi-Fi and access to kayaks but still a lovely get-away with our Labrador.

Family friendly secluded cottage
Our family enjoyed our stay in both the House and the Cottage. The property was a very nice size and was very secluded and private making it the perfect getaway during covid times. The cottage was very cozy and comfortable with plenty of space to relax and enjoy your vacation. Our only complaint was the options for buying dinner which potentially was due to the time of year and everything not yet being open for the season. We definitely would stay here again as we enjoyed your secluded family spring break vacation and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a similar type vacations.

About the host

Hosted by John Niemiec

Host profile image
My wife Denise and I live in Willards MD a little over an hour away from the home. We love the outdoor lifestyle of the Eastern Shore. We enjoy fishing, crabbing and exploring the Chesapeake. We're excited to be your host for your next Eastern Shore adventure.

Why they chose this property

We found this home on VRBO several years ago and booked a stay each year. Over time we formed a warm relationship with the owner and when Susan decided it was time to sell we jumped at the chance. We love the area and its close proximity to Parksley, Onancock, Wachapreague and Chincoteague. There are countless places to eat and shop and the fishing in this area is fantastic.

What makes this property unique

The property is very secluded and simply beautiful. There are unobstructed views of the marsh and the Chesapeake. The cottage is warm and inviting and fully stocked. If there is anything we can do prior to your arrival to make your stay more enjoyable just let us know.
