This is a lovely venue which needs some TLC. The lid on the toilet of the powder room was broken and the upstairs fire alarm needs a new battery. However, more importantly, there is severe leaking of the door walls on the Bay side when it rains. We used towels and even buckets to catch the water. The kitchen door wall is especially bad. I took pictures if you need them. The fly problem is very annoying as it appears they are breeding within the house itself. We noticed almost no flies outside but had MANY indoors no matter how many we killed. In spite of the negatives we all thought the house was very spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The view is beautiful, the area serene and the pool and kayaks were splendid.

Beautiful surroundings. Loved kayaking. Beautiful views. Easy to swim in bay. Fun pool. So many games at the house. Grill. We could have stayed another week! Perfect relaxing vacation.

This is a wonderful home to visit with friends and family. The property is in a very quiet and somewhat remote area of the lovely town of Cambridge MD. Great place at a time when you want to have a safe vacation. The property and facilities were exactly as described. We were a large family of 14 and had an absolutely wonderful time. We will cherish our memories at the The Birds Nest.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is big and being on the water was great! The views are awesome! But It is time for updates to be made throughout the home. It feels tired and it would be nice to play pool without worrying that billiards will fall through the pockets and land on toes. We expected more for the price.

It really feels like you are visiting friends or family and staying at their home, not like a rental property that gets treated roughly. Beautiful view across the Bay to the Western Shore. Sadly it was a bit too chilly to enjoy the kayaks or the in-ground pool in mid-October. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, and appliances. Comfy furniture and beds. Plenty of space to spread out, even for larger parties. Satellite Internet worked well. Driving out from Cambridge, mobile service goes from LTE, to 3G, to 1X, with no service in a couple locations. Mobile service is good at the house. Rated check-in at four stars because I didn't know how check-in info would be provided until less than an hour before check-in. The listing didn't say -- go to an office, get a code, something else -- and calls to various phone numbers weren't answered. VRBO customer support was finally able to put me in touch with someone from the property management company, who told me that I would receive e-mail right around check-in time with the door code. From another call with the property management company, it sounds like there were some miscommunications between the company and VRBO as this was a new listing on VRBO. It worked out, but it was quite stressful until I knew we could get in to the property. Would definitely stay at the property again, especially during warmer weather.

We had a wonderful stay! The kids had a great time in the pool and we all loved our daily outings in the provided kayaks. There are beautiful views from the main living area, the master suite and many of the other bedrooms. The bedrooms are very nicely done. One thing to note is that the master suite includes a room with a king bed that is connected to the master bathroom and open to a guest room with 2 twin beds (no doors between these 2 spaces).
