This home a little slice of heaven on the water. The house was fabulous with so much space to enjoy and fabulous views of the Chesapeake Bay from both the lower and upper porches. Sunsets were gorgeous and osprey were nesting right out in the Bay. The kitchen was super…well supplied with anything one could possibly need and great appliances. The living spaces were perfect, too, as were the bedrooms and bathrooms. Everyone enjoyed the pool with the view of the Bay and most of the family went paddle boarding. Janet Craig was a fantastic host and provided such a warm welcome to us. She was so quick to respond to any of our questions and someone you would enjoy having as a friend. All around the area are wonderful restaurants and stores are close by for grocery shopping. The whole experience was one of the best we have ever had at a home away from home. This was a special surprise birthday celebration and all the family truly enjoyed themselves….great spot for families or for a quiet getaway for two. Can’t forget to mention the absolutely great pieces of art all throughout the home. Most of the paintings were done by Janet’s husband, Robin. Anyone who stays here will enjoy every aspect.

The property was gorgeous and the host welcoming and lovely. The location and views, spectacular. The house was like a very comfortable museum. The art was gorgeous and every detail was perfect. There was room to spread out and room to be together. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back.

We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect! The house and grounds were beautiful!

This house is a gem. Perfectly located feet away from the water, with gorgeous views of the Bay, Annapolis, and the Bay Bridge from almost every spot in the house. The pictures almost do not do it justice. The fabulous art inside contribute to the unique experience. The place has all the amenities you can think of,. We worked a little and the fast wifi was most welcome. A perfect place in a perfect spot.

The house is wonderful and it was a pleasure dealing with the owner/manager. As we walked under the beautiful winding pergola toward the house, we knew we made the right choice. Walking through in the door, we faced a beautiful view and were happy to be in a really great home. I know, a lot of superlatives, but if you appreciate thought in original art, custom furniture and architectural detail (even if it is not to your taste), this is a great place to stay. Even without all those, the house is excellent. Great kitchen and open area on first floor, non-stop views of the bay and ensuite bedrooms. We were there for a wedding and had six adults in the house but had several more come for a casual breakfast on the day of the wedding. There was plenty of room and all enjoyed. Really nice to be on the bay (a small, very lightly used road is between the front yard and the grassy area on the bay). Nice place to take a walk. Just super relaxing. Highly recommend!

This is a beautiful house with a beautiful view both from the front to the Chesapeake and the back yard view of the pool and garden. In addition, it is like staying in an art gallery as on every wall there is wonderful art, much of it made by the owner, Robin. There are also numerous carved wood pieces and furniture that were wonderful. It was a great space for a family get together and the rooms and bathrooms were all comfortable and the architecture and design was first rate. The hostess, Janet, communicated with me before our stay to give me tips for things to do and about the restaurants. There is a nearby farmstand where you can get good produce. Hunter's Fish Market is the place to go for fresh fish. Our dinner out at Libby's restaurant was very good with a great view. The pool was delightful and there is a nearby bicycle trail for exercise. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We loved our stay here! The house was equipped with everything we needed to feel at home and comfortable. Janet was an awesome host who kept us informed of fun things to do and see while on Kent Island. The beautiful pool was amazing and the highlight of our trip. Great house!

This home is amazing! It’s like living inside a museum. There is so much to see and experience inside the home, you almost forget about the beautiful outside patio and water view. The enclosed sunroom on the upper level is an added benefit especially on chilly or rainy days. The hosts are very warm, welcoming and accommodating. Their communication was excellent. This home has everything you need for a relaxing time regardless of the weather. We plan to return soon.

Have you ever visited a friend's home where their attention to aesthetics and detail amazes you? Where their eclectic art collection evokes images of their world travel and cultural appreciation? And where you feel so grateful for the opportunity to share their very personal experiences and space? That was my experience at Chesapeake Bay Waterfront ARTectural Home on Kent Island. Our social group of executive women range in age from 45 to 63. Ten of us recently gathered at ARTectural Home for a weekend to celebrate the upcoming wedding of one of our “Las Chicas.” And celebrate we did! When we arrived, our host Janet welcomed us to her awe-inspiring waterfront home. She invited us to enjoy all the home’s high-end accessories, as if we were family. My previous experience with rental homes was that homeowners “hid all the good stuff” and made the home just good enough. Any expectation like my prior experience was immediately dispelled. We cooked every meal, including Paella, in the well-appointed kitchen that had enough room for all of us to gather comfortably around the counter bar. And we spent hours enjoying meals and making toasts at a beautifully carved dining table for 12. By day, we played Corn Hole, walked along the bay, and watched barges and ships pass by the house --- all with the Chesapeake Bay Bridge as the backdrop. By night, we watched sunsets, enjoyed long conversations on the enclosed porch, and danced until we dropped. And by day and night, we drank wine, shared comradery, and laughed continuously. While Las Chicas always treasure our time together, our weekend at ARTectural Home is one for the record books.

This was the best VRBO rental we have had. The house is very accurately described in the listing. There was plenty of room for the family to spread out and do their own thing when they wished. The kitchen was fully equipped and was first class. The dining area can easily accommodate 12 people if need be. The upstairs enclosed porch was particularly nice with a great view of the bay. The owner was particularly helpful. She showed up to give us a quick tour of the house when we arrived. Bottom line is that this is a first class property with a first class owner.

This Chesapeake Bay Waterfront home is beautiful and quite unique. The huge dining room table that seats 10 comfortably was perfect for our Thanksgiving gathering. Janet, our host, was superb! The massive sunroom was awesome for watching all the activity on the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of great memories were made that week! Thank you Janet!

This was a fantastic vacation rental! The water view was amazing and the sunsets were spectacular. The home was spotless with a very cool design flow and very unique decor. We rented it for the Sea Glass Festival and also to cheer up a friend who is going through cancer treatment. The host, Janet, was super and really helped to make it a special weekend for us and all of our friends that we had stay with us here. We would not hesitate to rent this one again and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Janet's house was the perfect setting for my wife's celebration of life. We had plenty of room for 30 guests and the views are amazing.

The home had beautiful décor and had amazing views. We will definitely return next time we visit.

The property was gorgeous and the view amazing. The property owners were next door and very very friendly. It was a great weekend. We will definitely rent from them again.

Janet was super responsive and helpful leading up to the trip. The house was beautiful and clean upon arrival. The pool is amazing, the pictures in the listing do not do it justice. Plus the 2nd floor sun room facing the Bay had the most spectacular views (especially for sunset!) - it was our favorite room in the house. Plus our kids really enjoyed the community park with a playset at the end of the street, directly next to the Bay with more beautiful views. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and would recommend!

The property was more than what was advertised. The pool with its large very shallow area was perfect for the baby. My daughter and I agreed that the house was the best equipped house we have stayed in. We were very lucky that the weather was perfect-moderate temperatures and low humidity. We enjoyed sitting on the enclosed veranda watching the ships coming and going in the bay. All in all we had a great time!
