Stayed Father's Day weekend with 4 other couples. House was wonderful. Everyone was impressed with the house, with the amenities, with the seclusion, and with the wildlife that was abundant. Stock up on groceries in Cambridge on your way in. There are two wonderful restaurants/bars in Taylor's Island (Boats and Hose; Palm Beach Willies) that were open on the weekend. We boats and went crabbing/fishing. The owners were great to deal with, and were very responsive to questions.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at a VRBO rental on the Chesapeake Bay, and I can't say enough about how perfect our week-long stay was. From the beautiful surroundings to the endless activities, this vacation exceeded our expectations in every way. First and foremost, the location was nothing short of idyllic. The house sat right on the Chesapeake Bay, offering breathtaking views of the water that greeted us every morning. It was the perfect backdrop for a week of relaxation and fun. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of outdoor activities available to us. Fishing in the bay was a daily adventure, and we had no trouble catching a variety of fish. Kayaking along the calm waters allowed us to explore the shoreline and get up close with nature. And crabbing – it quickly became a family favorite. The rental even provided all the necessary equipment, making it incredibly convenient for us. Speaking of convenience, the house itself was well-equipped and comfortable. The spacious living area was perfect for family gatherings, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The bedrooms were cozy, and everyone in our group slept great. One thing that made this vacation truly special was the fact that we were able to bring our Vizslas along. They had an absolute blast running around the large yard and playing in the water. It made our family vacation feel complete, and we're grateful to have found such a pet-friendly rental.

The property was great. Very tranquil and picturesque. So many birds from eagles and osprey to dozens of shore birds. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. The house has just about everything you need for meals, entertainment, and beach/water activities. We planned on spending the majority of our days at the house and cooking all meals on site. We did some crabbing, fishing, kayaking, sitting on the beach, yard games, grilling, board games, puzzles, listening to music, walking the grounds. In our group we had some older family members who stuck to the first floor bedrooms, and some younger kids and parents who used the 2nd floor. Because of how the house is sectioned off, sleeping was quiet and we didn't hear anyone in the kitchen early before we were ready to wake for the day. The jellyfish were present in large numbers five out of seven days in both the bay and creek, so swimming wasn't really an option. As expected the mosquitos were bad at times. We sat on the beach and used bug spray. Some days the breeze was enough to keep the bugs under control. Neither of these items are something the property owner can control and are part of being right on the water. They did not meaningfully detract from our great experience. Thank you!!

Great house for celebrating Thanksgiving and my husband’s 80th birthday. Four sleeping areas for privacy, great kitchen which is well equipped, and beautiful views. Property is amazing with lots of grassy areas and walking trails—the dogs loved it! Highly recommend this house…

Great house and property. We hiked, fished, kayaked and enjoyed both amazing sunrises and sunsets from this unique location. The kitchen is spacious enough for multiple cooks to work simultaneously and it’s very well equipped. Laurie, the owner is very responsive and thoughtful, ensuring we were comfortable during our stay. The only drawback was that we couldn’t stay longer.

We are a three-generation family of 12. Every year we rent a place by the water where we can bring our boat and everyone can have a bed. The house was big enough that each family unit had their own wing within the multi-level floors. So everybody was able to have their own space and privacy as needed. It was also big enough that we could all sit together at the dining room table (very important for us). The openness of the gathering rooms (living room, dining room and kitchen) worked out really well for our large group. The front porch with the rockers was a great treat as well as the back patio overlooking the water. The house was perfect for us as well as the many acres of ground surrounding the house for us to enjoy. Unfortunately, due to the massive amount of jellyfish, we were unable to go into the water. On the bright side, we brought our 24-foot boat and were able to dock it right on your property. This worked out beautifully. The kids (big and small; old and young) did a lot of crabbing and fishing at various places around the property. We all had a blast. True there were lots of mosquitoes, but only to be expected. We all had a great time and loved the house and the huge property. I do have two suggestions: because of the size of the house and how many it can accommodate, I suggest another refrigerator/freezer. Because the stores are so far away, we brought all our food (again for 12) for the whole week. We ended up using coolers and getting ice locally everyday. A fridge would fit nicely in your mud room. Also, as I said we brought lots of food, there was no cupboard space for any of the stuff we brought. Needed to leave in bags, on countertops, or in the mud room. But it all worked out. We all enjoyed your hospitality! Thanks for another wonderful vacation with the family. Denise, Tom & Family
