The property was well laid out. Location very private. A few negatives that are easy fixes. There are companies that can spry acres of area for mosquitoes, spiders etc, this Property is right on the water and it is understood that the area will have insects in the area, however the amount of mosquitoes, tics and flys and small biting insects can be managed and guaranteed to eliminate thes pests. The other improvement needed is the WIFI it is Horrible, it was almost impossible to connect, with computers and iPADs Mobile devices send emails, or connect to Netflix etc. Access to enter water off the dock was not an easy entry. Need a ladder or a set of steps from the shore. It might be some kind of local code not to alter the rock shoreline to prevent erosion but we tried to kayak and it was very difficult and dangerous walking on the wet and sea grass covered large boulders. These are suggestions for the owners to make a beautiful place to stay, better and more Guest friendly. Not complaining just offering suggestions to improve the property. Nice layout and a great house.

Amazing house and property. This was our second stay and would love to return! It's difficult to want for anything here!

Great time for young and old.

Beautiful home. Well appointed - everything needed for the kitchen, bathrooms entertainment is included. The property is private and the area is quite peaceful. The playground was a big hit. We hope to return to the Ranch in the future.

Great property and views and privacy. Perfect for some secluded alone time.

What a view! The photos of the property do not lie! We stayed with family for the weekend and had a wonderful time, despite the rain. The gathering spaces in the home are all perfect for large groups and the host was gracious and helpful. An A+ rental!

Beautiful comfortable home with lovely views. Well equipped, we would return.

This was a very peaceful setting on the water with plenty of space & land for the kids to go play. Every box gets checked at this house! The house is very well done inside and out! Highly recommend it to anyone!

Everything about the place was spectacular. Our family spent 3 nights in this beautiful home and we were all very impressed. Everything about it was perfect! I would definitely recommend staying here.

This was a wonderful get away place for my friends and I. The house had everything we needed and we relaxed and enjoyed our time away. Now we all want a shuffleboard at our houses! It was perfect!😊

Lovely location & property; the sunsets at the back of the house were the icing on the cake of this clean & beautifully appointed home. Wonderful for the group of 10 that we had in terms of bedroom size, bathrooms, and places to gather. Would highly recommend this property.

Our family (6 adults, 6 young children) had an excellent stay at this property that is exactly as advertised. It has been recently updated, is well maintained, and comfortably appointed. We especially appreciated the cleanliness, owner responsiveness, property location and amenities available to guests. It is a beautiful retreat and we definitely recommend it!

We spent a wonderful week at the Ranch with a group of friends that have been vacationing in the area for over five years. The house is beautiful, spacious, and incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed for a week of relaxation. No design detail was overlooked- truly like living in a magazine spread. The combination and layout of bedrooms made everyone feel comfortable - no one was stuck in a random basement bunk room like is so often the case in larger vacation homes. Ryan and Marissa were gracious hosts and we are so grateful to have experienced this slice of Chesapeake a la Austin in our own backyard.

Royal Oak was a beautiful property to host our family leading up to our daughter and son-in-laws wedding at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum! The house is spacious to accommodate large families while providing cozy areas to have everyone gather in the dining areas and game rooms! We loved the pool and kayaking on the bay! Marissa was easy to communicate with and she answered our requests/questions right away. It was a dream vacation & wedding week! Thank you for having us at your lovely home!

We had a fabulous stay at the Ranch at Royal Oak!! This place was incredible and a fantastic getaway for our family and friends! The ranch was exceptional; clean, beautifully decorated, spacious rooms with breathtaking water views . We had high hopes when we read about this lovely home and everything exceeded our expectations. The house was full of amenities that kept both the kids and adults entertained our entire stay. Marissa was a great communicator and responded to any questions we had immediately. Highly recommend! We can't wait to go back this summer! 5 stars plus!
