We just spent a few nights at the beautiful Bay Hall house, with several families—and cannot rave about our stay enough! We had kids ranging from 2-14, and several sets of adults, and all left saying we’d have to find an excuse to come back soon! From the bedroom layout (BIG rooms, with multiple possibilities for configurations), to the provided amenities, to the gorgeous touches inside and out- we truly felt right at home in this gem of a house. The owners were incredibly responsive whenever a small question came up, and have clearly put a lot of time and thought into the details of this rental. The pool and outside patio were obviously the stars of the show because of the gorgeous view of the Bay, but the inside touches really did help ensure all our kids (and adults) felt right at home. Absolutely 10/10 experience for all of us- We hope to be back soon!

Bay Hall is a beautiful home that blends classic elegance with all the updated amenities that one could want in a vacation home. The view from the back porch/pool is amazing. The hosts are fantastic and have truly created a beautiful sanctuary. It was a true joy to get to experience it!

We are a pretty active family with five kids, and our vacations usually involve nonstop activities like Disney, Universal, and cruises. This year, we decided to try something different, and we’re glad we did. Our stay at Bay Hall allowed us to slow down and enjoy quality time together. We spent our days playing board games, swimming, wiffle ball, and lots of fishing—all without the pressure of having to be anywhere at a specific time. It made for one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. The house itself was absolutely beautiful and very well-kept. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that a lot of care had gone into maintaining the property.The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and having family meals together, which we rarely get to do with all five kids involved in so many sports. To satisfy our kids’ desire for some amusement park fun, we spent a day at Busch Gardens, which was an easy drive, just over an hour away. Andreas was a great host, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. One of the highlights for me was watching the storms roll over the bay from the back porch and the rainbows that followed. The back porch quickly became my favorite spot, watching the boats and cruise ships passing by or the bright stars at night. Bay Hall provided us with a beautiful and peaceful setting for a memorable family time. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing family vacation.

Certainly! Here's the revised review: We had an incredible stay at this home! The house was immaculate and exceeded our expectations in every way. The pool was a highlight—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunny weather. The amenities provided were top-notch, making our stay comfortable and convenient. Overall, the cleanliness and attention to detail made this a fantastic experience. We can't wait to return!

Such a wonderful house and property! We can’t say enough nice things about it. The pictures are so accurate, it might even be nicer in person. You won’t be disappointed!

Chesapeake Bay-front Estate minutes to Irvington, Kilmarnock and Whitestone Star Star Star Star Star Our family, parents, adult children, spouses and grandkids gather from across the country once a year. It is not an easy feat to find "something for everyone" that includes top-shelf bedding, multiple bathrooms and a spacious kitchen for the many "cooks in the kitchen". We were all well-accommodated in the beautifully appointed and maintained home and surroundings. Quiet mornings on the porch with coffee, luxurious swimming pool and fabulous kitchen/dining areas. Our beds, all of which catered to our "bed-snob" attitudes, were well above average, dressed in high quality bedding. The surrounds were quiet and inviting; perfect for short walks with little travelers. All of this nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac with mature trees, beautiful birds and room to play ball, tag or hide and seek. We hope to visit again, soon! Thank you, Fran and Andreas for sharing your home with us. Blessings, Susie K Res

Beautiful home and grounds! Wonderful and friendly hosts! Bay Hall is a special place! We had plenty of room to enjoy conversation but also room to spread out if we needed space, which is important with a big family… Iykyk ;) The views of the bay are awesome! and the pool was such an asset for the children and the adults! Loved our stay!

I'm hesitant to share all the amazing things about this house because I don't want it to get too popular and make it hard to book again. 😉 This house is absolutely outstanding. It has everything you need for an unforgettable large group weekend. We had 16 adults and 3 kids (all under 2 years old), and it was perfect for everyone. The kitchen is fully equipped for meal prep, with multiple ovens, dishwashers, and sinks. The mattresses are dreamy, and we all slept wonderfully. By the end of the weekend, we were already discussing when we could book again. We are absolutely over the moon about this house. Additionally, the owners were incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all our questions and being a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to go back!
