We ABSOLUTELY loved our stay here. Beautiful views, peaceful, accommodating...it was all of the things. The rooms were spacious, the master bed was nothing short of amazing! So comfortable!The deck needs a little attention, but it certainly served it's purpose, and we enjoyed sitting out at night with family talking and enjoying the solitude. Being on the island is like taking a step back in time, and it truly embodies a traditional coastal community. We loved every minute of our stay and will be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Home was clean with good A/C and the bay breeze also nice outside. My wife really loved the sunrise. The island is a nice quiet get away spot, but still within 10-40 min. or so of some nice small town's or a day trip to York / Williamsburg. Very nice sandy beach, just would have liked access to a small rake for the pine needles. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the home's cleanliness and A/C, along with that bay breeze, made for a comfortable visit. It sounds like the sunrise views and the peaceful island setting were a real highlight, while still being close enough to explore small towns or take a day trip to York and Williamsburg. We appreciate you mentioning the beach and the note about the pine needles, that kind of feedback helps us keep improving. Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing this spot for your getaway.

There was trash left in the trash can in the dining room, which is used as the kitchen trash. I also found trash in a bedroom trash can which smelled bad. Overall the property is lovely with gorgeous views and access to a small private beach. The beach themed decor only added to the property's charm.

Excellent location with sandy private beach on West side of Chesapeake Bay. Shallow water and no undertow made for safe and fun time for children in group. Loved the daily appearance of Bald Eagles in the nearby pines. Definitely hope to return.
