Absolutely loved staying here! The house is so cozy and the location is beautiful. It is so well stocked and Kim has thought of everything that somebody may need and had forgotten while traveling. She is also SO nice and welcoming and is always there if you need anything at all and she included such sweet and thoughtful welcome gifts. I can’t recommend this place enough!!

This was a gorgeous property with tremendous views! Kim was very gracious and gave us lots of tips on the property, getting around, and local activities. When we told her that our 2-year-old grandson would be with us, she helped child proof the house, had Uncrustables in the freezer, and even had a kids TV show on when we arrived! This was the perfect place to rest and unwind. We will definitely be back!

What an Amazing Vacation Spot

We had the most relaxing and enjoyable time at Kim's house. The waterfront beauty is unmatched, and the amenities provided are fantastic. We enjoyed dinner and smores by the firepit, mornings and afternoons on the water in the kayaks, and time together inside the house. We ventured into town and had terrific food, drinks, and shopping. We will absolutely be back!

Great pick

We were in the area for a family wedding. We decided not to stay in a hotel. This place was perfect for us to stay with our immediate family. It was a beautiful setting and a well maintain home. We would definitely stay again.

Don’t be fooled by the lack of glitz and glamour, this home is extremely cozy, comfortable and quiet. The hostess is amazing. There was absolutely nothing we lacked for whether kitchen, bath or extra sleep stuff. I received a text with local amenities, of which we sampled and found wonderful. Check in and out was easy and convenient. Games were a delightful surprise for downtime. A thoughtful welcome treat was “frosting” on an already amazing “cake”. If you are looking for comfort and ease, this is your place!! We will be back to explore the lovely bayside area and interesting stores, restaurants and attractions!!

A Perfect get away!!

If I could give this property ten stars, I would. I don’t have enough space to rave about the hosts. The house was extremely clean and organized. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable at all times. Truly some of the kindest people with superb information and recommendations. The scenery was outstanding. We stayed there to celebrate my son’s graduation from UDel and it did not disappoint!! We literally had the most beautiful bonfire by the creek. Love love loved our stay!

Nice place to stay

Kim and family were extremely helpful from booking to the time we were there at their rental house. They did all they could to make our visit very nice, down to giving us a nice treat to welcome us too. Very helpful with any questions or issues we had and showing us around the property and beach house area. If you don't see something in house that you need, just ask and she will find a way to get it to you. Hard part for the elderly was going in the river to float, must wear water shoes and very short sand beach before mud. If Tide isn't in then it's hard to get out into the water, into a float. Other than that had a great time. Very clean too. Thank you.

Wonderful Time at "The Woods at Duck Creek"!

We had a fabulous time at Kim's place. She was an amazing host. I came from NJ. with my daughters and their signifigant others, to see a show in Havre De Grace. The check in was easy. It's a beautiful setting! There were snacks and beverages that we appreciated greatly! There was plenty of wood and kindling for beautiful bonfires each night. The beds were really comfortable and we all slept well! Kim sent a link with so many fun things do in town. There are great stores, restaurants and a even a fantastic zoo! We had two really nice days exploring the area and kayaking in the creek! We will definitely be visiting again! Thank you to Kim and Steve for their hospitality and a great weekend! When we

Hidden Gem on The Elk Neck

This was an awesome couple weekend getaway destination. We visited early April and had some rain but that didn't put a damper on our adventure. We unplugged, unwound and enjoyed the beautiful setting this place has to offer. Kim, our hostess, was amazing!!! She was on top of everything and made us feel super welcomed before we even got there. Definitely the hostess with the mostest!!! She even brought us homemade brownies and left so many thoughtful touches in our rental and on the property that really came in handy. We would recommend taking her up on borrowing some kayaks and heading out on the water, catching the sun rise and/or sunset, cast your line off the pier (or the kayak), catch a glimpse of the resident bald eagle and enjoy a warm outdoor fire at the end of your day!!! Thanks again so much Kim, we will be back for sure!

Summer family fun

Check in was easy. Place was clean, nice and well stocked. Beautiful waterfront view from the front and easily viewed at kitchen sink and sitting in living room, so easy to keep an eye on the kids. Also the water access right there is limited by vegetation so was a barrier to the kids ages 10-3. Water access was a short walk where the boat house is with a very easy kayak launch and 3 nice kayaks to use. This was the favorite of the 9 and 10 year olds. The kids played in the sand at the launch during low tide which the 3yo especially enjoyed. Even in the summer the night was good for bonfires. There are lots of surrounding things to do but we loved the property so much we only left briefly to check out Elk Neck State Park a couple of miles away. While out we saw 4 foxes and several deer. We so much enjoyed bird watching from the yard, seeing Golden and Bald eagles, as well as a multitude of others. The hosts are great and live just up the road so if anything was needed they were right there and very responsive. Love love loved it!!
