Katherine was a pleasure to deal with. Communicating with her was easy and she responded very quickly. The house was as described and everything was neat, clean and organized. It was relaxing to sit on the deck and watch the boats coming and going across the street at the Marina. The beach was really nice and we went down and BBQed there. It is an easy walk, but we took the car to make it easier with all our stuff.I highly recommend checking this home out.

Enjoyable stay, very quiet area, house was nice; water filters on kitchen sink and refrigerator would be nice. Tubs not elderly friendly and beds could be upgraded. Overall we really like the place.

My wife and me rented this cottage to be closer to our family while in the area. We were expecting busy days so we were looking for peaceful nights and that's exactly what we were given. I grew up in Owings and have family scattered throughout Southern Maryland so the location was perfect for visiting in the area plus making a couple of visits to Washington DC while we were in the area. My wife and I enjoyed coming back each night to the clanking of the sail boat rigging that came with the excellent view of the marina. We are definitely planning on returning to this quiet getaway on our next trip to Maryland.

Great hosts and great property. The location is nearly perfect. We might have been the first guests of the season or at least when bookings are light, so there were some bumps, but things happen and the hosts made sure everything was handled as best as possible. This might our new "spring break" place! We need to practice our fossil hunting skills because we are terrible!

Another great stay at Harbor Cottage. We stay there at least once a year and look forward to it every time. Can't beat the location, neighborhood or convenience to the private beach. The cottage is charming with a great view of Flag Harbor right across the street.
