Beautiful, serene location. If you’re participating in Ironman, I recommend this location. It’s convenient to the race and quite relaxing after. My kids loved the pickleball, basketball, and kayaks. No reason to use their electronics! Host communication prior to check in was subpar but I took it as an outlier versus typical. Would have been better to receive check in and house info prior to our travel date.

So glad you enjoyed your stay and had a great Iron Man. And yes, as I explained, I totally whiffed on sending out the information which I typically do a week in advance. It is not the norm as you had indicated and glad it didn't impact your stay. Come back anytime!

The Eastern Shore Bay house was great for our family—plenty of room, our kids loved the ladder to the loft with the foosball table and the chalkboard, and we all loved crabbing and fishing from the dock and in the adjacent coves. The view out to the water during family meals was stunning. We experienced some heavy storms during our stay and Ned was extremely responsive and helpful with organizing the yard cleanup. He even provided many crabbing tips that made our efforts much more productive than they would have been otherwise! All in all a very special place that we are glad we got to visit.

Fantastic for family gathering

Three generations of our family stayed together there and really enjoyed kayaking, the pool and crabbing and eating seafood and veggies from Emily’s farm stand together. Visit to Harriet Tubman museum and Blackwater refuge were great too. Wonderful wildlife viewing at the property.

Great family adventure

We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Chesapeake Bay Area. There were so many things to do on site we rarely left. Extended family enjoyed kayaking, exploring the cove, searching the mud flats, exploring the point, the various provided sports activities, and the pool.

Family vacation was great. We spent a lot of time at the pier crabbing or in the pool. Only down fall was the mosquitos. Made it hard to enjoy outdoor activities.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2025
Glad you enjoyed your stay and sorry to hear that the mosquitos didn't cooperate. They can be irrelevant and they can sometimes be problematic depending on the weather (rain is the biggest factor) The property is treated weekly so they shouldn't ever get out of hand but definitely recommend some repellant for those times that they are more active.

Private getaway

The property was perfect for a family vacation for anyone that doesn’t want to have to leave for other attractions. We had family from Grandma, parents and teens down to babies and literally everyone enjoyed full days of activities. Swimming, kayaking and family kickball games were the highlights of our stay.

Ned was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. The property was wonderful for a family gathering with great outdoor amenities and so much space. The main original house had charm with lovely fireplaces and possibly original floors. The kitchen had all the modern appliances needed. The location is remote so best to bring food with you. We’d definitely consider staying again. The views from the dock and the firepit were beautiful.

Great family getaway

My family of 10 had a great time at this property. We loved the access to water and boats, as well as the (smallish) pool near the house. The kitchen was spacious, and the outdoor screened room was one of our favorite spots. The owner was very responsive and helpful when I asked questions. Would recommend.
