The views and the history of this area are memorable. One of my teens expressed the desire to come back and as other parents can attest; that is meaningful! The pool and the game room were a wonderful bonus to the landscape.
4.8
This is a very nice property and very relaxing. If you don’t like being bothered by a crowd then this is for you. The property is designed for relaxation, fishing, crabbing and kayaking or just hanging out by the bay! The owners are very good to deal with.

The house and all its amenities were just as promised! The kids had a great time in the pool, fishing and kayaking. Property was beautiful and although the layout of the house was a little awkward for our youngest and sleeping arrangements, it was a great summer getaway!

This house is stunning. We had an amazing family vacation. The views are great. It's quiet! Fishing was awesome! All 11 of us and our 2 fur babies loved it!

Beautiful property with plenty of space for our family.

The property is beautiful - overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. We were able to set pots for Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, and also found oysters nearby. Both were excellent after we steamed them in the pot provided. The game room is excellent for pool players, and having a small get together. We were lucky enough to experience two seasons while we were there - hot summer and early Fall. We used the fire pit and also enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boards. The air conditioning kept the house at 70° when it was 96° outside.

Very relaxing week. The pool was great. Very beautiful area. Paddle boards were fun.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much. Mary was very responsive with all our needs. The teenagers enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. The pool was great and very clean on arrival. We also enjoyed using the crab pots to catch crabs right off the front of the house. We would definitely stay here again!

It was a great property. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool and crabbing

Staying here was all we could have asked for and more. The pictures do it perfectly accurate justice and we had an amazing time.

This was a Christmas gift for all my adult children, our first vacation all together. The property was PERFECT for us with all the activities available, billiards, swimming pool, crabbing, grilling, cooking etc! We had a great time and would definitely recommend it. I loved how it was so comfortable, we were very relaxed with a two year running around…..
4.8
This was a perfect spot for our family, including our 2 dogs! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and 2 dogs to spread out. Love all of the outdoor spaces (firepit, pool, hammock, patio and the large yard to play frisbee and cornhole! We also enjoyed spending time on the pier as well as kayaking (even saw some dolphins)This is a place that would be great year around. I am keeping this home on my list for a fall vacation too!!
4.8
We had an awesome stay in this house. It was quiet, relaxing, and well maintained. Our dogs and kids loved the house and property. There was a big yard, we caught some crabs off the front walled area, and the kids loved the large pool. I don't have a single complaint and hope to return for another stay. Thank you for sharing your home.

What a great place! We would absolutely rent this house again!
The booking was easy, the family was nice and accommodating.
From the Firepit (which we used every day) to the game room (we love playing pool) to the dock and the hammock! What else do you need to relax and unwind.
The cell service wasn't the greatest but you are on vacation thus shouldn't be on your phone :) The WIFI worked great so we could easily stream. Not that we did much as we spent most of the time outside.
My family tends to get a little loud so being secluded was great for us!
Town was only 30 minutes away and easy to get to. You must try Shanty's restaurant. They had the best seafood you could ask for.
We took a fishing charter one day, which was great. It was only 30 minutes to get to the dock, so very close by.
All in all, a great rental for those that want peace and quiet!
If I was asked for what I wished for from the owners, would only be for them to have a boat so we could go out into the bay to fish.
Again, what a great place!
4.8
The homeowner was always available by phone. We didnt have any issues. We were able to fish and catch crabs. The teenagers loved the paddle boards and game room. We loved all of the little sitting areas in the yard. The pool was amazing. The house was stocked with everything you could need!! We will be staying here again!!! Thank you so much!
4.8
Super clean! It was great to have 2 refrigerators that were completely empty upon arrival. We used the kayaks and paddleboards every day. The pool was great even though it was a bit chilly late May. In an earlier review someone mentioned the pool cleaner, we thought he came at the perfect time and left the pool crystal clear. The beds were very comfortable and the porch was everyone's favorite spot. All the appliances are very new and the kitchen is well stocked. You won't be disappointed if you choose this property for your next vacay.

Beautiful property that is set up well for gathering - fire pit, water toys, huge yard, etc. Nice set up for friend groups or families. Highly recommend!
4.8
Absolutely loved the waterfront landscaped property! Our family had an awesome time hiking around the property, crabbing, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. So quiet and private, we did not see anyone, except for the occasional crabbing boat. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the pool house/ game room. The biggest downfall was the poor cell service/ internet, which was mostly nonexistent, which also meant the tv never really worked. We truly felt like we were cut off from the outside world, which in a way made the trip even better!

Very Relaxing family vacation !
Property owner answered all my questions in a timely fashion and very accommodating
We really enjoyed the pool this vacation
4.8
We were a group of 10 family members and 2 dogs that came from all over to get together at this wonderful property. There was plenty of room and definitely lots of activities. We used the pool, took kayak and SUP excursions, and took advantage of the fun in the pool house. We had lots of plans to go out that faded once we were there. Cell Phone reception/wifi was definitely spotty and clearly stated in the description. Personally, that was the best part. I was truly able to disconnect from everyday life. There was a pool service guy that was super friendly and never made us get out. We kept it fairly clean ourselves even after the storm the 1st night. Which brings me to our rough start to losing power due to a close lightning strike and it being resolved within an hour. The hosts have a binder with anything pertaining to the house, down to the best times to go crabbing. They also were easy to communicate with, even with my spotty reception. My only complaint... it went too fast and I hope we are allowed to return! Thank you!

Fun for all ages!
My family enjoyed our week so much! The house was very clean and set up so we could enjoy both family and private time. They also provided so many amenities such as the pool, kayaks, paddleboards, pool table and corn hole. Mary's house book was extremely helpful and as the house is centrally located we were able to take advantage of the local attractions such as Cape Charles Beach, The Blue Crow antique mall, Chatham Vineyards and The Exmore Diner. Definitely one of our top vacations!

Goods and bads
There are many perks about this property- waterfront, large and spacious, allowed our pups to come along on our trip, the pool, the game room, the provided kayaks. But there were some downfalls too. The pool is serviced 2x/week by a pool guy. Very nice guy, but when you’re looking for a secluded vacation away from everyone and your kiddo has to get out long enough for the guy to do his job… just kinda inconvenient. Upon our arrival, there were 4 very large boxes that appeared to have just been delivered in the way in the area of the outdoor living room as well as a broken end table. In my opinion, for as much as we paid for the week those items should have been removed. The TV in the game room didn’t work. There was very little chalk for the pool sticks. The lamp in one of the spare bedrooms had a bulb burn out. We had to go searching for a bulb. The grounds were a bit grown up in places, and could really benefit from a good weeding or even a groundskeeper. We took the good with the bad though. We’re not too hard to get along with and we weren’t looking for anything too extravagant. The house served its purpose for our family getaway, and we had a great time. My in laws said that this was the best vacation they had ever been on, and that, in my opinion, is a win in my book. Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and the fishing was great! Just a few negatives but lots of positives too!

The home is charming and inviting, a true hide-a-way gem! We found our stay there peaceful and relaxing, and our hosts were thorough and did a super job making us feel welcome! Looking forward to our next visit!

Great house and amazing view
We rented this house for an extended weekend and had a great time. The property is very secluded and private with only one house down the road. The view here is amazing. Water views from 2 sides. I brought my boat and dropped it at the ramp a few miles down and tied it to the dock on the property for the weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook at the house and labels on the doors helped. There is a detailed book about the home that will answer any question you may have. Already looking to return.

What a perfect slice of heaven on earth. This beautiful home is in an absolutely gorgeous location surrounded on two sides by water and breathtaking views of the water. The pool was the topping on the cake! Incredible spot!
