Chesapeake Bay Vacation Rental w/ Boat Dock!

Reviews

• Pleasant

  3/5

  Floor is very uneven. I have balance issues. No way to get kayaks in or out of the water. Ladder off dock was missing steps. Grass needed mowing (lots of bugs). Weeds growing up through the deck (poison). No lights on dock and slats were very dangerous (needs repair) No curtains,which is a little scary and (bright). Bed was comfortable. Kitchen was nice. Host was nice. Fishing was good. Very difficult to get to the beach with extremely narrow pathway with 7ft tall reeds. Area was beautiful. Scenic. Unfortunately no boat rental in the area. Most went out of business (Covid) or people abusing rentals. Nearby grocery was fantastic (adjoining Post Office).

• Cute and Affordable

  4/5

  I recently enjoyed a wonderful workcation at this property, which proved to be exactly what I needed. The Wi-Fi was reliable, allowing me to work remotely without any issues, all while taking in the scenic views. The rooms were clean, providing a comfortable and welcoming environment. I did notice some minor stains on the white sofas, and I suggest providing cleaner fabric covers for future guests to enhance the overall experience. Additionally, the charming older house does have its quirks, including some noises that initially startled my dog during the night. However, closing the bedroom door at night mitigated this issue effectively. Overall, this stay was exceptional value for the price, and I would recommend it to those looking for a serene getaway with all the amenities needed for remote work.

• Nice Views but

  2/5

  The views were outstanding. The kayacs, dock and lifejackets were next door not at the property i rented. Photographs were misleading. Kayaks were stored on the ground upsidedown. There was growth around the kayaks giving it the appearance of not having been moved in some time. I wasnt going to be the one to flip over that kayak! The lifejackets were outside on the deck. Yuck! They also appeared to have been outside for sometime. I didnt want to put them on. The hammock was weather beaten ripped up and unusable. The firealarm had been disabled yet it went off while using outside grill? The only bowl in kitchen large enough to toss a salad had dust an inch thick. No wifi or tv either. Honestly ive never given anywhere a bad review before but this rental is not as advertised. Yes i did try to reach out for help. Prior to leaving i emailed several times with days elapsing before being told to call a number that was provided. At that point i had just general questions. Upon arrival i called and was given information that wasnt helpful.

  Hi Yvonne, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - The kayaks are stored upside down to prevent rain accumulation, and the life jackets and paddles are kept underneath the kayaks to protect them from the elements. Additional life jackets are kept on the deck of the house next door
  - The hammock will be replaced immediately to ensure it's in good condition for future guests
  - We apologize for any miscommunication regarding the Wi-Fi and TV. The primary contact, Andrew, mentioned that he assisted you until both were functioning

• An Exquisite View

  5/5

  If you enjoy observing wildlife and like to walk in quiet places, this property is just about perfect. We sat on the deck watching an osprey feed its young in a nearby nest while herons flew by. Our dog was entertained by the local woodchuck that periodically stuck its head up to see what was going on.There are multiple trails along the water and through the woods as well as quiet country roads on which to explore. It felt like a quiet haven away from the noise of the city.The kitchen is more than adequate and the accommodations were all we needed to be comfortable for a three night stay. This is a unique property and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
