Another lovely stay at Mobjack Bay

We had a wonderful stay at Rachel’s cottage, and she was very prompt and helpful when a minor issue arose. The property is very well stocked with amenities—more than anywhere else I’ve ever stayed in this area. It was very quiet and peaceful this week, and the water views are spectacular. There are three seating areas that are wonderful—bayside upper deck, under deck area, and a screened porch, all with comfortable furniture. You will love living so close to the water!

Fantastic property

Beautiful vista of the water. So close to the water sitting at the table you feel like you are on a ship. The fishing jumping right off the edge was alot of fun. The side porch is priceless and excellent for a nap.

Beautiful bay bungalow

This is our second time staying here, and we already booked it for next year. The views are amazing. The water is calm. And we love catching and steaming the crabs!
