Pride and Joy's cheerful interior contributes to the allure and comfort you'll experience while delighting in its modern amenities.

My sister and our husbands took a week this fall. The house was great, well supplied, well laid out, lots of room, nicely decorated.
Walking distance to market and coffee shop. Visited St. Michaels, Easton and even a trip out to Salisbury.
House numbers were not evident - and the house had changed colors from the listing. Contacting the property manager solved our problem quickly.

Nice space for a quiet getaway
The house was lovely for a quiet stay over the holidays. We enjoyed walking around town during the day and sitting around the fireplace in the evenings. It would have been nice if the house had come more stocked with items like basic cleaning supplies and firewood, so future visitors should be sure to bring their own.

Lovely house. Charming town (Oxford). Only complaint is that there was very little room in the kitchen for a renter to put things because it was filled with owners' belongings. We had to pile food on the counters. ESVR was great- the rental process could not have been easier.

We had a fabulous time in Oxford & thoroughly loved the Pride & Joy cottage. If possible, we'd love to come back next year. I got to visit the Mystery Loves Company shop but didn't get to the museum. We also enjoyed the Pope Tavern & Scottish Highland Creamery... on more than one occasion! Neighbors were warm & friendly. We were happy to meet so many other dog lovers. The cottage was charming & impeccably clean. We needed customer service once & they responded quickly & efficiently. A PERFECT vacation. As far as recommending it to others... I'm not sure because I want to keep this my little secret :-) I'm kidding. I'd recommend this trip to anyone!

House was clean, well-appointed, and in a very quiet little neighborhood. Great choice for families with small children, as the folks that own this house have a few - several baby gates available, as well as lots of child-friendly plates/cups/silverware, booster seat, etc. Bunk beds have a nice high rail, and I felt comfortable with my 3 and 5 year olds sleeping up there. The TV turned right on to Disney Junior, and my kids had a blast taking a ride around the block in the wagon that was in the yard. Recommend the owners put black-out curtains in the bedroom with the bunk beds though!

We had a great time in Oxford over the 4th of July weekend. The accommodations were very nice and comfortable and the weather cooperated. We hope to return next year. Our only recommendation on the house in that the WiFi was a bit spotty, but other then that, it was great!

The house is quite nice - spacious with a cute porch and yard, and comfortable furnishings. The location is great, very close to the water on Tred Avon and walking distance to the little market and Pope's Tavern. A prior renter mentioned the abundance of personal items in the home, including pictures. While there are such items, and an open owner's closet, we were left more with the feeling that someone opened their home to you, rather than a cold, never lived in rental. We did not think that the personal items were overbearing. I would definitely rent the home again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway to Oxford! Our cottage was charming, everything we needed. We even overcame the Wifi not working for the weekend, thank goodness for hotspots on our phones. The house has lovely decor, location is perfect for walking and really comfy beds. Two suggestions: bathtubs are slippery, need safety strips and the one TV is really small, maybe an upgrade is in order. Thinking about coming back in the Fall!

We had a lovely holiday at Pride and Joy cottage. We were very happy with the house and location. We had a bit of a hiccup upon check in where the management company office was not open and we were wondering how we would pick up our keys, but it was resolved quickly so was not an issue overall. Also, the TV has a bit of a trick to get it to have sound which we figured out fairly late in the week, so a specific note about that would have been helpful. Having a place where young children and dogs are welcome was perfect for us and we would definitely visit again.

Reviewer Comments:
We were delighted with the ambience of the cottage. Every room was immaculate and well appointed, cheerfully and seemingly professionally decorated with colorful walls, comfortable furniture, good lighting, and well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. We especially enjoyed discovering all the crab decorations - on the walls, the dishes in the kitchen, and even on one of the shower curtains. We were 4 people (sisters) and the bedrooms were comfortable, even the room with the bunk beds. We loved the porch and sat out there one night enjoying a thunderstorm from the cozy rocking chairs. The kitchen was well stocked and immaculate. We enjoyed the living room, the dining room and the kitchen for meals and chatting. The location was right in town and we rode our rented bikes everywhere. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who appreciates cozy ambience, professional decorating, and easy access to everything in Oxford. The Eastern Shore Rental staff was accommodating and professional. Oxford is a quaint historical town worth visiting.

This cottage in the village of Oxford has been a favorite place for us to get away in the early spring for years. This house is our choice! Great little town on the Tred Avon River to walk the dog, outstanding seafood restaurants and best of all ESVR is great to deal with!

Reviewer Comments:
Cottage was wonderful and very well accommodated, although there is only one television. I would suggest that the owners add at least one more to a bed room. Oxford is a very tiny town and with just a convenience store and a few pubs but it is surrounded by water in three directions. My only negatives about the stay were twofold: we had intended to do some Christmas cooking baking and there was no electric mixer. We would have brought our own but the management company suggested one was available--it wasn't. In regards to check out, I tried to leave the key in the lockbox but the code I was given was only valid for one day and no one answered the phone at the management company. These were small compared to the quality of the house. We would definitely stay there again.

Reviewer Comments:
The cottage was lovely, clean and comfortable, and the town of Oxford was so peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was great to be able to bring my dog along as well. Loved the front porch and proximity to town. One suggestion-The owners could perhaps remove more of their own personal items from the closets (strollers, child gates, etc)In addition, after shopping, there was no place to put provisions since the pantry cabinet was clearly marked "owners pantry" and was full of owner's things. So for the week the counters were cluttered with what I had bought. I have rented many homes but this was the 1st time there were so many personal items including photos of the owner's family- on the top of bureaues, etc., again limiting space. Between the items in the closets and kitchen as well as all the photos,I sort of felt I was being intrusive,rather than actually living in a "summer rental".

Rental staff were very helpful in clarifying how to use the TV and DVD player- need good written instructions! I also recommended that the screened porch could use a thorough cleaning to make it more enjoyable to use! The house and location were terrific!
