Great!

We stayed here with 2 toddlers and 3 couples. It was great! The house is great for young children, they have lots of books, toys and games. The dock/sand area was fun for fishing and crabbing, and the pool was perfect for cooling down! Bring your bug spray, but I highly recommend this stay.

The house was super cute and private. The host was kind and answered questions quickly! Only downfall was there were a lot of ants in the kitchen and so many flies in the yard. We made the best of our stay but weren’t able to enjoy the backyard like we had hoped.

Great Family Vacation

Every other year we get our family together. All 9 of us which includes 3 grandkids, 13,13 and 16. We all picked out this location. We are in VT, others in NYS(close to VT) and VA. Nice large house with many bedrooms, pool(which the kids loved). Kayaks to use and close to the water. Small beach and long dock. No one around so very private. Great kitchen, excellent dinning and living room areas. Bedroom with choices for all. Amenities were pretty accurate. Host was great and always responded to any concerns or questions we had. All in all was an excellent family vacation enjoyed by all of us.

We had a wonderful stay!

The setting is truly unique and beautiful. We enjoyed daily walks along the beach with the dogs. It's a great place to launch a kayak. I caught a nice keeper rockfish just off the beach. The dogs loved running in the expansive lawn. The house is well furnished and nicely equipped for preparing and serving meals. There wasn't anything we needed that we couldn't locate in the kitchen, and we cooked extensively. The property was very clean upon our arrival. Beds were comfortable, water pressure and temperature were great. Our host was friendly and accommodating. We had a great time and hope to return again. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with our family!

Something for everyone!

What a great time, we fished, we ran, we swam (the pool was well used), we played games, we gathered shells and dug out sandcastles at our private beach. We brought a boat to tie up to the dock. We could see the house and pier from the public boat ramp. Our only problem was the coffee pot didn’t work. We told the owner who had a new one at our door before the day was done! House is huge, the kids loved playing hide and seek.

family getaway

used this property for our annual family get together. the house was spacious (there are 10 of us, with 5 under 12). everyone was comfortable. the property had a nice front yard and a huge back yard with a very nice dock. there were kayaks available, which they loved. there was a small beach area by the dock, they swam in the bay. the pool was covered and screened (very nice for everyone to enjoy). its a little "out of the way" but the views were fantastic. you can day trip to chicoteague (just an hour drive). internet/wifi was sketchy (which we knew about ahead of time). could use more plates (for large groups). overall we really enjoyed our time there together. everyone agreed they would do it again.

Spacious home by the pier

The size of the house is spacious. We booked our stay for the location near the water and for the use of kayaks and boat. We wanted easy access to fishing and crabbing. The house needs TLC but we had already knew that from previous reviews. Again, our main purpose was for its location at the pier and water. The neighborhood is surrounded by marshes, so you could not avoid the flies and insects outside. The house pool was enclosed with screens so at least that kept the bugs on the outside. The grill is smaller than we expected. It was a bit difficult to quickly cook food for our group of 12. Therefore, we mostly cooked on the stove. Beware of the ants in the kitchen. We kept food off the counter. It wasn't too bad but I can see someone get irritated by the ants. If you can't stand flies and bugs, you probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the outdoors here as much. But if you can get pass the flying insects to get to the pier and to use the kayaks, then it can be a nice stay with family and friends.

A place to unwind and reconnect with family and friends

If you are looking for a tourist hot spot with mini golf courses and t shirt shops every other block, then this might not be the place for you. But if you are looking to kick back and enjoy bay life as the locals do, where you can relax and enjoy time spent with your family and friends, then this could be what you're looking for. The house has plenty of room for all. We enjoyed hanging out pool side, playing games, BBQing on the gas grill, swimming in the bay, watching sunsets from the dock, spending the day kayaking and row boating around the bay/river , watching bay men working their trade, and watching the pleasure and sailboats cruising in the channel. We also took two day trips (just over about an hour drive each) to Assateague, once to the Maryland side and then next to the Va. side. The house is in a remote area, the nearest grocery is about 30 min away, so plan accordingly. Also, there are wetlands around, which naturally has bugs, so bring some spray with you. Being we were there just after Hurricane Florence and during full moon high tides, the water level did come up into the end of the backyard, so make sure you have a pair of flip flops to wear to the dock( the ground was a little muddy before the sand of the beachy shoreline. Sarah, the owner, was great with communication and helping us rearrange things when an unexpected party crasher (Hurricane Florence) started knocking at the back door. It was a great vacation for our family which included my husband, myself, our 4 grown children and their respectives, and our yellow lab. I grew up on the waters of Long Island, NY and our early family vacations were visiting Grandma and Grandpa and enjoying bay life on Long Island. This vacation brought those memories back for us and added so many more!

Left 2 days early

On arrival there was a truck in the driveway, we couldnt find anyone in the house so we walked over to the pier, we found a man on the pier fishing, he told us he was there to clean the pool, but the pool was dirty. He walked up to the pool and I dont know what he did but obviously didnt clean it because the next morning the pool was even worse, we were not able to use it. The house had not been cleaned well. There were dirty sponges left in the sink and they had obviously been used to wipe the front of the fridge off because it was filthy and the side of the fridge was even worse. The counters were sticky and the sink had alot of ants. We went to the inside grill area and the bar and table were all sticky and had not been cleaned, we also had to clean the grill before using it. The bathroom off the master bedroom had not been cleaned well, the sink has residue in it and the track of the shower door was completely filthy. We told the host about the issues and said we were going to have to buy cleaning supplies and clean the place because it was so bad, she said she would knock off the cleaning fee, which was not good enough seeing how we were going to have to buy our own supplies and time cleaning. The more we looked around the worse it got. None of the bathrooms had hand towels when we got there we found those in the laundry room wet. Not allowed to open windows which was odd.Couldnt go out on balcony,. The pier and water was the only good thing. House is beautiful but unke

Good stay with a few hiccups

The house was definitely big enough for the 11 of us. The pool was enjoyed by all and the grandkids enjoyed crabbing with their parents at their own dock. Some even ventured out on the kayaks. Great to have all those activities. The month of June is definitely a buggy season and no one went home without multiple welts. The concerns we had about the house is that there were dirty dishes left in the dishwasher, the grill was filthy and the alarm went off three days when there was no emergency. Some of the furniture is in need of repair or replacement. Personally, this was the first time we were ever asked to strip all the beds that were used and to replace items; i.e. paper towels, toilet paper.

Nice place, good communications with the owner.

This is a nice place located in the middle of marshes, which is what we were looking for. The house had many small extras, from starter sets of toilet paper and paper towels to a nice set of kitchen equipment (pots, pans, serving utensils). The view from the uppermost floor was magnificent. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful location

Such a great private location with beautiful views. Big spacious house with tons of opportunity. We had a great time fishing, not much luck crabbing but luckily Buck isn’t far to purchase crabs at a great price! Home and pool really need some attention with the cost of renting the property. Home owner is easy to contact with open communication during entire stay. There are flies/bugs, that should be a given with the location, not a reason to complain about this property!

The house is big and has lots of separate spaces which was fantastic for our large group. It is VERY isolated, but we liked that. It's an old house with character. One hour drive to the beach.

Mostly as expected

House was older and very spacious, plenty of bedrooms for the 10 of us. 4 bathrooms were sufficient but with only 2 shower/tubs. One more shower would be helpful. We like older house with character and this house suited our tastes. My oldest daughter loved the 3rd floor addition with windows all around. Pool was enjoyed by youngsters. My daughter fished and crabbed with moderate success. As expected outside was very buggy and limited my desire to walk the neighborhood but that was expected and normal for the area. Fortunately for us there were storms before we arrived and blew the nasty greenhead flys away for our stay. We did have one glitch in that the door key would not work on both locks which left us stranded outside for over an hour. Sarah responded quickly to get Buck to help us but he was not a locksmith. After some time of trying different options Buck found a window that he climbed through. After some more time we found a makeshift solution and were able to get in and out. These things happen and we appreciate Sarah and Buck’s quick responses.

Wonderful Stay!

House and location were terrific! Plenty of space inside and out, we enjoyed the pool, yard and pier. Visited Assateague Island National Seashore, and Jane's Island State Park, highly recommend visiting either one. Only negative was the refrigerator broke during our stay. Contacted the owner and she immediately responded and had a repairman there within in an hour and a half. Bugs are only a problem if you don't use bug spray! Spent the entire day in the yard, in the middle of a salt marsh, and didn't get bit once. Thank you Sara for a great vacation!
