What a feeling of comfort, warmth, and relaxation place.

Serafima was very warm, welcoming, and friendly host. Check-in instructions were super detailed and helpful. The house was very clean and well stocked. We could not have asked for a better location. Overall, a wonderful place; we would love to come back again!

Great stay

The home appeared to be recently remodeled and modernized. Gorgeous! The house was clean and ready to stay in. 30 minutes away from the city was perfect for quiet evenings. Sera reached out on a couple of occasions to ensure we had everything we needed. 5 stars!

Loved this property!

The house was lovely. The decor was soothing and stylish. It felt welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen was set up with just about any tools you’d need for cooking or baking. The area was quiet and the gazebo was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or visit. So glad we found this. Was pleased to show my brother and sister-in-law who are local so they could recommend to other friends/family who come to visit their area.

Trip was canceled

Unfortunately we had to cancel our vacation the day of because our son and his wife tested positive for Covid. After some initial confusion, our host was very understanding about our cancelation. I gave 5 stars in our rating because I didn't think it fair to rate any less even though we did not stay.

Water pump nightmare

The property was clean & comfortable. However... there were three things very wrong with the house: WORST of the three- the water well pump is in the laundry room along with a water softener system. In the middle of the night the water softener system would regenerate & cause the well pump to run on & off for at least an hour!!!! It was as if someone was starting a truck engine right by my head over & over at 2:00 in the morning- every night! I tried to call the contact #, but it went right to a message saying “no voicemail has been set up”. 2) The water temperature does not get above tepid - so no hot shower or bath - only mildly warm. 3) no directions on how to use the entertainment/tv system- tried for the first part of the first day & decided I’d not come there to be frustrated so gave up. I did message the host & the response was they didn’t know. I’ve never been to a rental where there weren’t written directions for guests. I’m not happy with the outcome of this rental.

Very nice place overall just a couple hiccups

On the day of arrival I received a message via vrbo that the house had no hot water but was supposed to be warm (it was not). Property manager was concerned & was waiting at the property when we got there to explain the situation. Was a little hard to communicate because she is deaf so she had to be super close to read your lips which was scary considering covid. Eventually we texted back & forth so she could explain the plan. Upon entering the house we discovered a lot of flys & brown bugs flying around. We killed at least 40 bugs our first night. We then discovered a window was left open in the twin bedroom & there was no screen. Hoping that fixed the problem, it did not. Realizing the light in the kitchen by the window attracted them & seemed they were getting in that way through a cracked seal. We purchased bug spray & sprayed around the window inside & out & this helped! Back to the water problem; she was able to get someone to come over late Tuesday night. The fuse that was replaced did not fix the problem so we were without hot water for another day. She ended up having oil filled in the tank (which she said was for emergency) & it worked thankfully. Wednesday evening we were finally able to bathe without warming up water. Thank god for the big pots that were there to get warm water. It was very inconvenient especially since my daughter had dance nationals several days we were without water. She did offer a refund of $90. Not sure if that was enough considering the situation. Regardless of the hiccups the place is gorgeous & the country is peaceful & I would return.

Immaculate and beautifully furnished home

I cannot say enough good things about this property. I was initially hesitant since it is a newer listing but this is a lovely home that has been beautifully renovated and decorated. Everything we needed was there, the pictures don’t do it justice. The kitchen was well stocked and immaculate. The beds were comfortable and the decor was really impressive. The bathroom is stunning. We were very comfortable for three nights, we were in the Salisbury area visiting family. Have already recommended the property to other family members. There is a gazebo out in the yard, and we loved being able to enjoy being outdoors. Highly recommend if you want to be close to the beaches but prefer a quiet location away from the crowds. The host was super easy to work with, check in and out was easy. We hope to visit again over the summer and would love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Serafima Mehan

Host profile image
Hi there! I'm Sima, and together with my husband and our four adventurous kids, we call this beautiful Eastern Shore farmhouse our home base between travels. We’re a world-traveling family who’s explored dozens of countries.

Hospitality is our passion! We poured our hearts into renovating this cozy retreat, blending modern comfort with authentic farmhouse charm. Our goal? To make every guest feel genuinely relaxed, safe, and at home from the moment you step through the door.

Here’s how we host: 🏡 Privacy First – We give you complete space to unwind and enjoy your getaway. You’ll have the entire place to yourself – no shared spaces, no interruptions. 📱 Always Here When You Need Us – Available 24/7 via Vrbo message, text, or phone. Wi-Fi acting up at midnight? Need the best crab shack recommendation? Just ping us – we answer fast! 💡 Guest Feedback = Gold – We LOVE your suggestions! Many of our favorite upgrades ( extra pet amenities, and that super-comfy workspace) came directly from past guests like you. 🐾 Family & pet-friendly vibes – With four kids and our own furry friends, we know what makes a stay feel warm and welcoming.

Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, family adventure, wild-pony spotting at Assateague, or a productive workation with blazing-fast Wi-Fi, we’re dedicated to making your Eastern Shore experience unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

🌾 Why We Picked This Spot 🌾
We wanted peace. Real peace. No horns, no crowds, just quiet fields and big skies.
This farmhouse sits 8 miles from Salisbury—close enough for groceries, far enough to hear crickets instead of cars.
In 20–25 minutes you can be:

Watching wild ponies on Assateague
Eating boardwalk fries in Ocean City
Strolling cute shops in Berlin

Or just stay here. Grill steaks, light the fire pit, let the kids (and dogs) run free.
We fixed this place up with our own hands because we believe the best getaways aren’t always in big cities or on the beach. Sometimes they’re right here in the country—simple, quiet, and perfect.
Come see for yourself. The porch is ready. 🏡✨

What makes this property unique

🌟 What Makes Our Farmhouse the Perfect Eastern Shore Base 🌟

One stay here and you’ll get it: quiet country nights + everything you love just minutes away.

✅ The “20-Minute Rule”
2 min → wild ponies & empty beaches at Assateague
23 min → Ocean City boardwalk, fries & ferris wheel
25 min → tax-free shopping + beaches in Delaware
14 min → America’s Coolest Small Town (Berlin)

✅ Food scene on fire
New cafes, crab shacks, breweries, and farm-to-table spots open every month. We keep an updated guide in the house—guests say it’s better than Yelp!

✅ Shopping boom
Big outlets, cute boutiques, and the new Salisbury mall—closer than you think.

✅ Real country escape
Zero traffic lights on the drive in. Just cornfields, sunsets, and a porch swing made for coffee (or wine).

It’s the only place where you can fall asleep to crickets and wake up to beach waves—all without paying beach-house prices.

That’s why guests keep coming back. Come find your spot on the porch. 🏡❤️
