Excellent stay at a prime location! The host, Pat, is exceptionally accommodating and communicative, always quick to respond and offer helpful advice. The property's location is unbeatable, right on the water with great fishing and crabbing opportunities. We caught some nice bass and blue crabs during our stay. Pro tip: if you're after bass, try catching some small fish in the nearby pond for bait first. This place is perfect for families with children. Our kids had a blast with all the outdoor activities, especially fishing and crabbing. The host thoughtfully provides fishing rods, shrimp nets, and crab pots, which really enhanced our experience. While the house is older, it's very well-maintained and clean. All necessary amenities are provided, and everything functions properly. The only minor inconvenience was having just one bathroom for our group. Overall, we had a wonderful time. The combination of a great location, well-equipped house, and Pat's hospitality made for an unforgettable family vacation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a waterfront getaway with plenty of activities!

This house is beautiful, in a great location. You have one of the few direct accesses to the bay. Great fishing, crabbing, kayaking. The house has everything you need. Thanks to the Murphy's for opening their house, and providing excellent recommendations on what to do, where to eat, etc.

Our group of five adults rented this home over a weekend when temperatures soared to close to 100 degrees in DC. We brought our three small sailboats and were able to hand-launch from the private cove and then have direct access to the Bay. Being on the water, or on the wraparound deck that caught the breeze off the water, was an excellent way to beat the heat! The house was clean, comfortable and very well-equipped for our needs. We used the gas grill for dinners and then walked a block into town for ice cream. While the marsh grasses are a bit more grown up than in the photos, there was plenty of room for us to set up our pop-up shade tent and Cornhole boards in the side yard. A word of caution to anyone who wants to swim in the cove - be sure to bring water shoes with straps, since the mud can be sole-sucking! We ended up going in barefoot and encountered minimal shells underfoot. Overall the house and property was exactly what we were looking for as a weekend getaway with our small boats and we look forward to the opportunity to return again in the future.

We were hesitant to book b/c of the 1 bathroom but this was a great place with lots of special amenities.

You absolutely can’t beat this location. We went paddle boarding, went to the beach every day, and took our small boat out that we were able to put in right there in the backyard. We watched the sun rise over the bay and saw a full double rainbow as the storm rolled out. My kids fished, crabbed, and my husband and I drank wine on the porch every night after bedtime. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, and the views were fantastic. We’re definitely planning to come back if we can!

The property is in a great location and had easy access to the bay and the beach. We really enjoyed the opportunities to bike, kayak and crab.

This was the perfect place for a relaxing family get-together, with a lovely spacious living area on the second floor, and a wrap-around deck which meant that you could always find the sun, shade, or shelter from the wind. There is instant access to the water - first in a very sheltered lagoon and then in a bay - so great for having fun on the water with a variety of kayaks, SUPs, and other floating devices available. The owner was very quick to respond to questions. The house is located right at the end of North Beach so was quiet, but only a short walk to shops and restaurants. We had a fun week there.

Quick vacation with my three daughters in July. Amazing views. Felt secluded. Cute town. Simple home which is all we needed. The kayaks were easy and awesome to use. Only downfall for us, it was during a heat wave and swimming was limited because of jellyfish. I didn’t mind a sting here and there but my daughters weren’t having it. Would definitely go back though when it wasn’t 100 degrees. Great host.
