Family Mini Vacation

From booking to check out Matt was great! Property was clean and felt like home. The water view was beautiful and just sitting out and enjoying the water from the deck, the kids were in the water our entire stay or fishing off the pier. We definitely will be booking again!

Enjoyable Chesapeake Stay

Cute, up-to-date house, peaceful location, beautiful views. Well supplied kitchen, including sharp knives! Excellent communication with owner – prompt and helpful. Fast internet. Could use more bathroom surface areas; a few more hooks to hang clothes and towels; and an additional umbrella or two outside for shade. My mom, sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful Getaway

We stayed at the Waldin's Chesapeake while our son attended camp. This home was so clean, and well equipped with everything! Matt was very quick to answer our questions. We ate at some of the places that Matt recommended, and we were so impressed! We will definitely be back in the future.

Family Wedding Weekend

Rented this home for a wedding we were attending. Nice location on the water. Only downside is one shower so for a group of 8 it was a bit inconvenient. I knew this going in, just should have thought this through with 4 ladies in the group! Owner was great! Very responsive.

A relaxing getaway

We were in town dealing with a very stressful family matter, so returning to this peaceful, quiet property every evening was just what we needed to decompress. Gorgeous water views, TVs in every room, a nice kitchen, and washer/dryer - what more could you ask for? Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Great Stay, Even in terrible weather

Our Family decided to take a last minute Spring Break trip and had a fantastic time. Matt was a great host and easy to communicate with. We were pleasantly surprised by all of the local dining options. Despite terrible weather that we experienced, we made the best of our trip and had a great time.

What Hurricane? This place is great!

This place is absolutely beautiful, both the house and the scenery. We had the unfortunate timing of being there during a hurricane, but it didn't matter. The house was spotless upon arrival, everything was very comfortable and fully stocked to anyone's needs. We were only 2 adults and 1 child but this house could fit many more easily. The surrounding area has some nice restaurants. The nice days we did have we spent catching loads and loads of fish and crabs from the dock. The neighbors were super kind, one even helped filet our catch so we could have it for dinner that night! We'll definitely be regulars here for the comfort, scenery, and relaxation.

Slice of Heaven

Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing. The views were spectacular and the beauty of nature surrounds you. The area is rich in history and has so much to offer. The neighbors were super friendly and the owners are just a text or phone call away if you need them. The house was everything we hoped for and more. Our family needed this vacation to recharge our batteries and this was the perfect spot.

Great Getaway

We loved our stay at Matt’s home. Very comfortable with everything you could ask for! Quiet, relaxing and close enough to towns if you want to go explore. We went to a few of the restaurants that Matt suggested and they did not disappoint. We are already talking about the next time we can get back there. Thanks for letting us enjoy your slice of heaven Matt!

Wonderful Cottage with a 5-Star View

This home was a true gem for an empty-nest couple (and dog) taking an autumn getaway in the "top of the Chesapeake" region. The sunrises from the deck or front windows are even better than the listing photo suggests! It's everything the other positive reviews highlight -- clean, comfortable, good communication, easy check-in. A very walkable (and friendly) little neighborhood and an easy drive to restaurants and shops in North East or Havre de Grace, Perryville Park, and Elk Neck State Park. Highly recommended.

So good!

Just finishing up a Christmas time rental, the property is in great shape, a smooth and easy rental transaction, everything is as described. Really can't ask for more than that. We have basked in the beautiful views and serenity of the Bay, and enjoyed exploring North East coffee shop and restaurants and nearby Elk Neck State Park. The house itself is in excellent condition and was a haven for our family time

Great rental!

This rental was perfect for 3 couples, plenty of room for everyone. House was clean, check in was a breeze, and the entertainment system was awesome. Great location on the water, outdoor space was really setup nice. Enjoyed the fire pit and dock. Although the homes are close together, still feels private. It’s a shared dock, but the neighbors were great! Would highly recommend this rental.

We chose this property for out of town family members to join a memorial service. It was ideal. The 3 bedrooms accomadated all of my siblings and after the service my sisters children came over. The house was loved by all. The location is ideal for a quiet comfortable setting. The neighbors are friendly and respectful to your privacy. The house was immaculate and included everything we needed. Our next stay will definitely be there.

House was very attractive, clean, comfortable and well decorated. Great views of the bay. Nice fireplace and lots of wood on a cold night. The entry driveway wasn't easy to locate and could definitely be marked better. A/V equipment had limited options and no instructions.

Relaxing getaway with amazing views

We had a great time staying at the Waldins' waterfront home! The property is renovated and updated with modern amenities, and well-stocked with towels, toilet paper, soaps, and cleaning supplies. The first thing we noticed was how sparkling clean everything was! Great views, comfortable and ample seating for our family, and the option to hang outside whether at the picnic tables or down by the dock was really awesome and relaxing. My father-in-law caught 5 catfish in total right off the pier and will be talking about that for a loooong time! A big thanks to our host for being so communicative and flexible, offering early check-in and late check-out which can really reduce stress when you're planning for traffic and travel with little kids. A very memorable stay for all of us!

Wonderful way to end summer

We were pleased to be Matt's first renters. He could not have been mire accommodating. He responded quickly to any questions we asked. The photos do not do justice to the setting, which is spectacilar-- open water, with gentle lapping of waves. We would gladly return.

The Perfect Getaway

We could not have been happier with this house and location. The views are stunning. The location was so quiet and peaceful in February. All we heard was birds and water lapping. We spent a day walking HdG and North East. Sadly it was off season so a lot of stores were closed. We had a small dog with us, and at MacGregor’s Pub we were able to bring her inside their enclosed porch for a nice lunch. The house itself was spotless and clean and very nicely appointed. We loved our stay and plan to visit again during warmer months, to take more advantage of the water and outdoors.

Wonderful New Years weekend spent in this comfortable cottage with a beautiful view

We were looking for a nice home or cottage for a quiet New Year's weekend with friends, and Waldin's cottage turned out to be perfect. The house is updated and modern, comfortable, and situated steps from the water. We enjoyed the fireplace, fire pit, and drinking our coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The kitchen had also been renovated, and it was stocked with the necessary extras like paper towels, spices, garbage bags, cleaning products. It's difficult to find a pet-friendly rental that is also in really nice condition, and this cottage was immaculate. The house has updated technology also - whole home stereo, internet TV, etc. There are three bedrooms, but the bedroom at the front is very small and fits little more than a queen bed (no furniture), so keep that in mind if you need a third bedroom. The middle bedroom is larger and has a dresser and nightstand, etc., while the bedroom at the back facing the water is by far the largest, with sliding doors that look out onto the water. The two larger bedrooms share a full bathroom situated in the center and each bedroom has a door to enter the bathroom from their side. There is also a large half bath/powder room off the kitchen. One thing that we didn't realize when we rented is that there is no kitchen table or dining room table, although there are 3 tall stools in the kitchen next to the counter. As for tables, the only tables are outside in the front and outside in the back of the home. Eating your meals overlooking the water would be wonderful in warmer weather, but since we were there for New Year's Eve, we did not have a table inside and ate in the living room while sitting on the couches. This does not in any way alter how I feel about the cottage - we loved it - we just didn't realize that the only tables were outside. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. Everything was seamless and we would definitely rent this cottage from him again. He left instructions and area information for us in the kitchen for when we arrived, as well as a New Year's gift of champagne for us to enjoy (thank you Matt!). We highly recommend the property!

Second time we have stayed at Matt's cottage during the winter and just as charming as last time

This is the second winter we chose to stay at this cottage, and I hope to stay again next year! For ease, I copied my prior review here, with tweaks for this most recent experience: We were looking for a nice home or cottage for a quiet New Year's weekend with friends, and Waldin's cottage turned out to be perfect. The house is updated and modern, comfortable, and situated steps from the water. This year they have a beautiful new pier right off the back of the house. We enjoyed the fireplace, and drinking our coffee on the deck overlooking the water. The kitchen had also been renovated, and it was stocked with the necessary extras like paper towels, spices, garbage bags, cleaning products. It's difficult to find a pet-friendly rental that is also in really nice condition, and this cottage was immaculate.
