• Worst Host and Property Ever

  1/5

  The photos looked gorgeous and ratings were great, so we were very excited for our stay!

  It looked nice at first glance. The decor is really cute and it was recently redone. The problems arose when we started to get settled. One of the bedrooms had a weird smell to it, so we had to sleep in the other room. We pulled the covers back and there was hair ALL over the yellow stained sheets, as if they hadn't been washed since last guest. We found a closet with more sheets so we got one and put it on top of the dirty sheets, and the new one was dirty too! There is a washer and dryer, but the problem is there is no laundry detergent, so we were going to go buy detergent and do laundry while we were on vacation because we don't like to complain. The water is untreated and very smelly.

  That's not the worst part! My husband and I are content creators and when we stay anywhere, we like to document our stay. We had our camera and were recording outside where there are 4 cameras, as noted by the host, and talked about how excited we are to get in the hot tub. The only negative things we said were inside. The host texted my husband and said that if we were displeased with the property, to leave. It leads me to believe she was listening INSIDE and we felt threatened and left. In her second message she mentioned she knows who we are. I have never felt so uncomfortable, creeped out, and violated. We were supposed to stay 3 nights and stayed just 1. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

• Worst stay ever, worst host ever

  1/5

  The listing looked great and price was right! We were so excited for our geteaway.

  When we arrived for our 4 day, 3 night stay and stepped in, it looked beautiful. The decor was great, house looked newly updated and like the photos! However, the issues started after we actually got settled. From an uncomfortable couch just a few feet from a huge TV, to smelly, brown water, to hair in the bed, to two very uncomfortable beds, it was an absolute nightmare. My wife took off her shoes and just walking around the house barefoot made her feet brown. Not only were the floors not mopped, but they were hardly swept. We went to get in bed, and there was hair all over the yellow stained sheets, as if they weren't washed from the last guests. The host keeps the laundry detergent locked up, so we were going to buy detergent and wash our own sheets while we were trying to relax on vacation. My wife suggested we contact the host, but we don't like to cause issue, so we were going to clean the sheets ourselves.

  We are content creators, and we travel a few times a year. Every time we travel, we like to document our vacation. This time was no different! We recorded outside and inside of the home. We didn't have much negative to say outside, the outdoor area is nice aside from being very woodsy so there are a lot of bugs. Hot tub was on a timer which was nice! There is, however, a camera pointed toward the hot tub which made us both very uncomfortable. The host noted 4 cameras on property, but didn't mention one pointed towards the hot tub.

  Inside we of course talked about how filthy it was and how gross the sheets were, how poorly we slept, and how gross the water was.

  While we were dissatisfied, we were going to wash the sheets and treat it as just a place to sleep. We do not like to complain.

  We got a message from the host immediately after recording saying "if you are unhappy with the property, you can leave." We replied that we have a YouTube channel and record our stays. She then replied saying she knows exactly who we are. Not only do we feel she could have been listening to us inside (again, nothing really negative was said outside), but we feel like looking up who we are was extra creepy. I do not recommend this place or this host to anyone. Neither of us have ever felt so violated staying somewhere ever.

  All hotels and rentals in the area were booked so we had to come home. Our entire weekend was ruined, and we took off work for no reason.

• Perfect long weekend spot

  5/5

  Near to the beach, DC, and Annapolis, within a quaint and warm town, this is a hidden gem perfect for a romantic getaway or long weekend with friends/family.

  3/5

  In a wooded area with lots of trees and shade. House nicely decorated and had everything you need for cooking, including spices. within 2 miles of town of Chesapeake Beach.

  Only negative comment is they need to upgrade the mattresses.

• OUR REVIEW

  4/5

  The House was beautiful and decor was fabulous. Especially loved having all the little extra's: snacks, toiletries etc.I do have a few comments for improvement:1. The Lock Box was difficult to open since originally we received incorrect instructions on how to punch in the code. Thsi was resolved by Day 2 of our stay. May want to check on that for future reservations.2. The mattress speciifcally in the back room was very very soft and very low to the ground. Some people this may not bother.Otherwise our stay was all that we expected and more.Thank you
