This was a very serene and relaxing property to stay at. Loved that our dog was welcome here. Tons of things to do close by and great places to eat…our favorite was The Little Lemon Leaf Diner. The National Wildlife Refuge was also awesome to visit and kayak, we brought our own. Lots of kayaking opportunities right off the property as well. Rock Hall is a quaint little town and people are very friendly.

If your main goal is privacy and relaxation this is the place! Although it sleeps 7, my forever partner and I loved having the house to ourselves! If you bring guest there is no bed that is private the upstairs is all open, very beautiful! And the downstairs area stunning with a big kitchen anboutside and inside eating area. The hot water tank must be small cause after two showers it is empty. So I don't know how 7 people get ready. One shower only upstairs. But Rickvand I both LOVED it there. ENGRETS NEST was our first trip away together It became our little love nest. But someone needs to trim up the trees it's blocking the view of portions of the bay. We WOULD definitely stay here again.

Relaxing five day stay.

The house was comfortable and very clean. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing at this home away from home. We kayaked everyday. Had our breakfast and a couple dinners on the screened in porch. We would love to return in the future.

Clean and comfortable, beautiful nature

Very clean and comfortable, perfect for a getaway for a couple or small family. Even though the neighbors are close, the house and dock feel very private and the views are breathtaking. The property manager communicated quickly and the guest guide that was provided was so detailed and helpful. Very tasty restaurants nearby. I would absolutely return. Next time I'd love to try out the boats!

Everything was very nice

House was very comfortable, great views of water, very quiet area, but close to town. Kitchen was nicely stocked with glasses, plates, utensils. Nice local information packet provided by Diane. Entering and departing process was easy, smooth. Would definitely stay again. Was convenient for local fishing.

Magical place

We loved this waterfront home. Everything you could want, kayaks, paddle boat, private dock, screened in porch. Bed was high quality. Could use a couple more beach towels but everything else was the best. Well stocked kitchen. Picnic table outside so you can have a crab feast without worrying about the mess. We saw so much wildlife on the water. Blue Heron are so beautiful. I'd stay here all summer if possible.

Escape

Cute cottage, nicely decorated. River was dirty and full of jellyfish during our stay. One large bedroom so no privacy if bigger party than just a couple. Hide a bed in couch is worn out along with couch. But we made the most of it. Kayaks and peddle boat was awesome!

Thanks for the comments. When it rains heavy we get a muddy river, it usually clears up fairly quickly. Note: we also do have a day bed and trundle in the master bedroom but we understand the privacy. Very glad you enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and paddle boat. Hope to see you again.

Location is ideal. House beautiful. Sofa bed not made and we had to search for linens. Kitchen disorganized and lacking appropriate glassware and utensils. We made do but for the price this was not up to standard. We own rental properties and know what is expected of guests. More attention needs to be made. House is lovely despite this

Great location. Minor irritation

Loved the property and the kayaks and dock. Water pressure problems entire trip though. Even sent a video to property manager with what was happening. Not resolved. We dealt with it. Water also never actually got hot. Also the smoke detectors would randomly go off. Happened about 5 times. Once at 2am. Ugh. Great place. Minor irritation.

Nick, since then we replaced the water pump, your video helped get that in motion, as it happened randomly. And, we found the alarm going off, which was a carbon monixide which needed batteries replaced (it was hidden behind the closet). Sorry for your inconvenience.

Relaxed Eastern Shore with birds galore.

Egret's Nest is a charming, comfortable, well appointed home, perfect for relaxing on and off the water. The bird watching is fantastic whether you are looking out the lovely bay windows, sitting on the dock or paddling the calm an beautiful Grays Creek. Each day, we saw Bald Eagle, Heron and Osprey, to name a few. We watched many butterflies in the back yard and got our first view of a tiny hummingbird moth who visited daily. The neighborhood was very peaceful during our August visit. The kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked almost all of our meals and did not want for any cookware. The drive into Rock Hall for provisions or a meal out is quick and easy . Historic Chestertown is only 25 minutes away and is a great place to explore history, cute shops, restaurants and the surprisingly delightful (for cat lovers) Cat Colloquium. Note that the house has only one bedroom - which is enormous, gorgeous and sleeps 4-5. It's great for family togetherness and teenagers may want to stay on the sleeper sofa in the living room.

Peace, water, fireflies and stars.

We all really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful. My granddaughter and the dog had great fun swimming in the creek. We also enjoyed the kayaks. The house had everything we needed although the water supply was a bit quirky! We appreciated the wine. Thanks for a relaxing vacation.

Memorial Day weekend

Beautiful location with a great dock for my boat. The house is very nicely decorated and in great condition. The only problem was the water. Would be taking a shower and the water would go down to nothing. We will surely book again.

Peaceful Days by the Water

We spent 6 days there. I enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the birds, lots of herons and ospreys. The screened in porch was great for meals. The inlet was quiet without much boat traffic. We enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boat. We did not try the canoe. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchenware. We enjoyed some of the supplied games. Rock Hall is a quiet little town, not much in the way of shops, but there is a small grocery and drug store and coffee shop. Property manager responded quickly when I texted a question. Would recommend for a quiet family trip on the water.

Great stay

We just spent a long weekend here and had a wonderful time. Our kids absolutely loved fishing off the dock in the back and our dog was in heaven with the trees, lovely back yard and water. We spent some time at the nearby Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge, just a short drive away, and Rock Hall’s Main Street area. Great little shops, coffee and food. Will definitely return if we get the chance!
