This place was great! Nice and private, no view of neighbors or anything. Ned was a communicative host and everything went smoothly. The gate around the pool was helpful for keeping the toddler out, and the pool was very clean. Also we all commented on the lack of mosquito bites, so i think the pest treatment he does is working. The deck was used a lot for chatting. The dining room table inside was quite spacious, good for family dinners. Having two fridges was helpful. The kids loved sleeping in the loft area. And the tvs we used worked great. The shore was a fun excursion, didnt catch any fish but a couple crabs. The provided kayak, lifejackets, and crab pots were a fun treat for the 7 and 10 yr old and they already want to go back. Ned gave detailed instructions, and the crabs we got from Lindy's were delicious. We also really enjoyed our visit to the harriet tubman visitor center/national park, highly recommend. Thanks again!! Hope to come back again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Chesapeake Bay Area. There were so many things to do on site we rarely left. Extended family enjoyed kayaking, exploring the cove, searching the mud flats, exploring the point, the various provided sports activities, and the pool.

The property was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was just what my 4 generation family needed. We enjoyed exploring the property, swimming in the pool, crabbing, and fishing. We played cards daily at the big family table. We also caught enough crab in the provided traps, and with fresh shrimp from the local seafood market (Lindy's), we enjoyed a delicious low country boil for dinner one evening and soft-shelled crab another evening. We saw two eagles and lots of deer daily. The shoreline was beautiful. I am unsure if it was a seasonal phenomenon, but the bay had a LOT of jellyfish - as in one every few feet - so do not get in the water without being observant. The property manager was very friendly and responsive. We let them know that the hammock was broken on our arrival, and a new one arrived within a couple of days. It was not expected, but it was used and very friendly. You have to bring your sheets - which we did not learn about until we received an email after we left home. This was not a deal breaker. I wish we had known before leaving home to avoid an unexpected trip to Walmart after a long day's drive (the only store within 30 minutes of the property). To the property manager's credit, this information is noted in the listing, it just needs to be highlighted in some way more clearly and a reminder sent in enough advance for people to prepare. Don't let this deter you thought from a wonderful trip. Truly magical!

We enjoyed the house and property. It was a laid back vibe vacation. Kids playing and exploring the grounds, first place that we had to bring our own sheets, would have helped to know before booking. Ping pong paddles need replacing but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Loved the big dinning table and view out the back windows. Also crabbing and fishing was a plus! We would stay here again.

Just finished our multigenerational family vacation with folks aged 20 months to 70 years at this very private property. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored and was just perfect for our group of 12. Adequate living spaces, both inside and out, and the screened in patio with grill and ping pong table was a huge gathering place. The kids enjoyed the pool and the wide open spaces where they could run, play ball or chase bubbles. Three of the 4 bedrooms were good sized with enough space for a port-a-crib or small cot but the 4th, with a twin & trundle was a bit tight. The loft area provided additional sleeping space but it is open to the kitchen and dining space below. The cove was great, although a bit longer walk from the house than anticipated - we really loved watching the birds in the early morning as well as the spectacular sunsets. Owner/manager promptly responded to a couple of pre-arrival questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will keep in mind when we next vacation on the Eastern Shore.

The property was perfect for a family vacation for anyone that doesn’t want to have to leave for other attractions. We had family from Grandma, parents and teens down to babies and literally everyone enjoyed full days of activities. Swimming, kayaking and family kickball games were the highlights of our stay.

We have stayed at Taylors Island many times, but it has been a few years since our last visit. The kids are now adults and they wanted to come back because the property is perfect for making family memories! The new deck and pickleball/basketball court are amazing additions! Wildlife was seen the first day, including 2 bald eagles...so special. House is clean and kitchen has everything. We cook all meals so this is the perfect place for us. We will be back again for sure!!! Love the peacefulness and setting of the property! Couldn't ask for more...thank you Ned!
