Lovely relaxing weekend

We stayed with four adults and two kids and the house worked well for the group. The kitchen really is stocked with pretty much any and all equipment you can imagine as well as a great collection of herbs and spices. We had no problem cooking up a great Easter meal. There's plenty to watch on the water going by.

Relaxation on the Waterfront

The property/home was gorgeous just as advertised. The home is right on the water with great views from the deck and the wall of windows on the front of the house. Inside the home is nicely decorated in a nautical theme and is well appointed with everything needed to feel at home. The owner was great providing detailed/easy to follow instructions as well as recommendations to area activities and restaurants. He also baited two crab pots so we could enjoy crabbing. The house is in a quiet neighborhood so it made it easy to relax and watch the sailboats and wildlife (bald eagles, blue heron, etc.). The sunrises and sunsets from the property were spectacular. The home is also a short drive from Solomons Island and the area state parks (hiking and shark tooth hunting). We really enjoyed the house and will definitely stay here again when we visit this area in the future.

Waterfront Getaway

The house and the location are great, but it’s Pete’s attention to detail that makes this property truly special. The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy quiet, relaxing vacation: linens, toiletries, cookware, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, fishing gear, bikes, and big beautiful Maryland blue crabs.

Just as it's looks and better

This was our second time staying at this house on the Patuxent River, it's a very well stocked and clean home. Pete is a great owner, and I would recommend this place again and again. Only thing that may be difficult for some are the steps going into the house. Pete, Thanks again for a Great stay.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property in 1985 and built the current house on it in 1990 for myself and my family. We so enjoyed the activities, sights and sounds of the location but outgrew the house. We still live nearby. It is definitely a soothing and stress free location that gives you modern amenities and still allows you to experience nature at its best. The location also has some of the best walking and biking neighborhoods and roads without the hustle and bustle.

What makes this property unique

Whether its just sitting on the deck with your favorite beverage, or fishing and crabbing off the bulkhead, you will enjoy the experience to the fullest without leaving. The area also has a wealth of sightseeing, eating, hiking and touring.
