Annual family vacation
We recently stayed at this fantastic house and it was everything we hoped for and more! The property featured a private dock and pool, which were perfect for our family. We spent countless hours fishing and crabbing right off the dock, and the pool was a great way to cool off and relax. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for our group. We also loved the abundance of outdoor seating options, which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenic views comfortably. Overall, this house provided the perfect setting for a memorable vacation. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with plenty of amenities and activities! Tammy R.

Large ranch style Chesapeake Bay house rental
Well maintained large private property, nice big dock, we were able to bring our own boat, fun to fish and crab from dock and kayak/paddle board in the quiet cove area. Nice large screened in porch, good sized pool, very clean, quiet, fully stocked kitchen, easy check-in process, ample parking for multiple cars and our boat trailer. Allowing pets was an added bonus!! My family ranging from ages 9-71 years old enjoyed our 5 day, 4 night stay. Would definitely rent again! Thank you for sharing your home.

Property was clean and well supplied. We loved the private dock that was perfect for crabbing, fishing and paddle boarding. The charcoal grill was a surprise so make sure you bring charcoal and lighter fluid. Our only challenge was the number of flies. I'm told that this is a problem in the entire area. Bring fly strips! We loved the screened in porch. Be careful of the ceiling fans if you are tall.

Peaceful getaway
My family and I had a great, peaceful stay with fun times crabbing off the dock and swimming in the pool. We caught dozens of crabs! Addie was quick to respond to questions and address the pool issues. We encountered many flying insects, but we were able to fend them off with a few cans of insect repellent, and the property has mosquito traps that were very helpful. The multiple refrigerators were great to keep cold drinks on hand, and the kitchen was well-appointed. The layout of the house worked out well with everyone having their own room and then everyone being able to comfortably hang out and watch movies in the family room. The privacy of the property and serene waterfront views added to the peaceful nature of the property. It was a wonderful place to spend time with family and relax.

A Perfectly Serene Location for Our Family Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious, well-equipped, comfortable home and property, spending much of our time on the screened porch and around the pool. We enjoyed crabbing and fishing from the dock as well. The house was perfect for six adults and two children. In the words of our 10-year-old granddaughter, “This is the best vacation house ever!”

Crabbing family trip
Our family looks for good place to stay for crabbing yearly, by far this is the best place so far. The house is clean, well stocked, has pool for kids who has no interest in fishing or crabbing and the location is great for crabbing. We caught good size delicious crabs!! Perfect home with 1 floor, great space and rooms for everyone. Our kids and dog loved running around house and big yard. The description in 5 bathrooms was disappointing if you didn't read in details of what they are. It's actually 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bath and 1 outdoor shower that no one even bother to go in. Overall our stay was exceptional excellent!!

Another fun vacation stay at Serenity Acres
This is the second time my family and I have rented Serenity Acres and the second time we have enjoyed swimming in the pool, crabbing and fishing off the dock, and kayaking in the cove and around Fishing Creek. The house is big enough for all (9 of us) to have privacy if needed, and the kitchen, dining, and living room combo is more than enough room to gather. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be considering a return stay!!

Wonderful family vacation
We had a great time at Serenity Acres. The house is as large as the photos show. We LOVED the pool, the ice maker and the way the bun machine makes coffee fast! Even though it rained a lot, the bugs weren't too bad. We spent hours outside every day and weren't bit much. Never used our insect repellant. The birds are fantastic. You can hear birds calling all the time. There are eastern bluebirds, bald eagles, swallows, doves, so many mocking birds and more to be seen every day. We hope to return someday.

A Little Slice of Heaven
We take an annual family/friends weekend trip. Everything about our stay was prefect. The house has a great flow. The dinning table was large enough for everyone to feel comfortable. No one had to eat in the kitchen on the "kids" table. The screen in porch was perfect. We played guitars and music on the screen porch and we enjoyed two of our 3 nights dinners on the porch. The charcoal grill will make you a topline grill master. Our ribeye's tasted like they were served from a 4-Star restaurant. The grilled salmon, steelhead, peppers, asparagus and toasted garlic bread was again perfect. We arrived via boat and the dock was safe and the water was deep enough for our I/O's and OB's. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen that we have ever stayed. The flow of people around the island was great. The peninsular layout on the side was easy for displaying the food in a buffet fashion. Let's not forget how big a hit the pool was for everyone. You will be close to everything but feel like you are a million miles away. We had a great time. Thank you, David A, Silver Spring, MD
