We had a great family weekend. Even though we had a little rain we lived on the back porch just watching the drizzle on the water. The house is set up well for family time. Very peaceful! Would definitely come again !

Pier Joy was perfect for a long weekend with the family. I trailered my boat out from DC and used the private dock at the house. Surprisingly easy. In good weather, it’s great home base for a beautiful cruise up to Annapolis or across to the Eastern shore. The house is gorgeous and exactly as advertised. Joan and Jeff were fantastic hosts, very responsive and Jeff even took time to help me get the boat in and out.

We had a wonderful stay at Pier Joy and really enjoyed the area. The view out of the back of the house is gorgeous and the dock is in very good shape. We wanted a low key quiet get away and this home and area did just that. There were good restaurants near by. The grocery stores lacked, but we also did our research on that prior and went prepared.
Joan was extremely welcoming to our family and our 2 dogs. Overall the house was very clean and well kept. However, I do think the floors could use a heavy mopping and the staircase banister needs a good wipe down and secured. It was loose. The kitchen is well stocked, but the pots and pans leave room for improvement. There was also only one small cookie sheet. The drip coffee maker could also be replaced. There were no coffee filters. There were plenty of plates, silverware, cups and mugs. The beds were a bit stiff and I think the pillows, master bedroom bedding and all the pillows in all bedrooms need replaced. They were not very clean when I took the pillow cases off. The front right bedroom also didn’t have a mattress cover. The living room furniture was okay. The small arm chair is dirty and definitely needs replaced. There is a small gold colored sofa that didn’t appear clean so we didn’t use it. The back desk was very welcoming, but I think with summer coming the cushions need cleaning. The fire pit was awesome!
I would stay again, but hope some of the needed improvements are made for the price point.

Fantastic! Two girl friends and I stayed for a weekend getaway. The house is lovely with multiple nooks for reading, or snuggling up and talking. The views were gorgeous looking out on the water.
Joan was very responsive with my questions, everything was just as described. We had a wonderful, relaxing weekend. Thank you so much! We would love to book again!!

Even on a cold and windy weekend, Pier Joy did not disappoint! The house was spotless and cozy. The kitchen was spacious. The views were great even from the inside. Just what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle. Can’t wait to return in a warmer month!

Our family needed a few days away and enjoyed this beautiful home on the water. What is it about a water view that helps to calm the soul. Pier Joy was beautifully decorated with a well stocked kitchen. The master had amazing views of the water from the sunroom and huge bathroom. Great outdoor space and A+ service from the owner. We walked, relaxed, played games, drove around and enjoyed seeing all of the boats. Shady Side had that small hometown feel that reminded us of a different time. People were so friendly and welcoming. Our stay was just what we needed, and we hope to visit again.

We selected this property due to its remote location with scenic views to get away from the craziness of everyday life. The property was wonderful! The house was very clean and comfortable. The waterfront view was beautiful! As the weather was rainy part of the trip, it was so nice to have a beautiful view to look at from both the lower living room and upstairs room. The owners provide great information on restaurants and stores, to easily find what you may need. Highly recommend this venue if you are looking for some peace and quiet in a getaway!

I can’t say enough about the Pier Joy! It was beautiful!! My husband and I stayed in the master suite and it was amazing. The only disappointment was no jets for the tub. I loved all of the windows and views they gave. The living room was my daughter’s favorite! She loved all the windows. The dining space was great for games! We loved the kitchen and all of the space. Once again, the windows let in lots of light, which is always welcome. I was impressed with your home decor. I actually got some ideas for my home by seeing yours! We loved the pier and the sound of the water. I would give this property a 99%⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The photos of the property look great but they don't really do the property justice. It is just beautiful, great views from inside and a nice yard and private dock. Super well equipped in terms of kitchen equipment, cleaning supplies, bathroom amenities, beddings/misc. pillows and throws, outdoor furniture, etc. The hosts were also super responsive to our very minor questions. Located in a quiet, friendly residential neighborhood on a nice inlet off the West River. We were very happy with the entire experience.

Maybe my experience was different because I’m black, but I was monitored via surveillance devices the entire time I stayed at the property. I was so uncomfortable that I check out a day early. The home wasn’t cleaned before my arrival, yet they charged me a cleaning fee even though I left the property better than I found it. The host felt the need to harass me via text everyday of my stay, even had the nerve to show up at my celebration and ask “y’all aren’t going to tear up my property are you?” Lastly, my credit card was charged days after my stay for an unauthorized charge. I’m thoroughly disgusted with the treatment that I received and would never rent from the Stansfields again!

With this lovely property as home base, my family of four enjoyed boating, day trips to D.C., Annapolis and St. Michaels, and just plain relaxing. The owners are accommodating and pleasant to work with, and provide all the amenities for a wonderful stay.
