This was our fifth time staying here with our dog and we absolutely love it and feel so at home. You can’t beat the location and the view out the back from the dock and from the crows nest is the best! Also the screened in porch is a favorite for relaxing and enjoying the view. Some of our crew enjoy the crabbing from the dock. Plus we bring our kayaks and spend time on Assawoman Bay exploring. Love it here!

This is our 3rd time staying here and we totally enjoyed it. It’s very relaxing and family friendly which is really nice with two small children. My family loves trying to catch crabs at the sea wall and see who can get the biggest. The upper deck is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Hope to be there in summer 2027.

Third year staying here, love this place!

We love the location of this house, great views of Assawoman Bay. So fun to spend time on the dock, screened in porch and the crows nest that easily fit the 6 of us…great place for cocktails! WiFi in the house works well, several of our group had to work and the elevated desk in the sunroom with views of the water was greatly appreciated. We look forward to our next visit there!

This was our fourth year staying at this property and it was another successful beach week! Our favorite thing about this house is the location. The house is located right on the Assawoman bay canal with great views! The screened in porch, dock and the crows nest are great places to hang out, eat a meal, telework, etc. This location is near to Bethany and Ocean City and just a short drive to Fenwick beach. Important to us is the air conditioning and it works great! The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. What more could you ask for! Oh and the host also allows small dogs which is a big plus for us!

This is our second summer staying here and it is a wonderful location and house! We love the views out the back and from the upper deck. The outside areas are a great place to gather in the evening and enjoy your coffee in the morning. Close by is Assawoman state park with great views and hiking opportunities.

Coastal Comfort

This place was amazing! From the minute we walked through the door, we were at home. We loved the space it provided us. If you plan to be outside in the evenings, bring bug spray, the mosquitoes are no joke. My girls attempted to fish, but there was nothing to catch. It was very close to the beach, restaurants, grocery, activities etc. The place was extremely clean. Plenty of parking for 2-3 vehicles. The neighborhood was quiet and the people were nice. It is a well maintained property and we hope to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Meyer

Host profile image
Our family purchased the property in 2007 as a family getaway. We love the peaceful location, great community and local activities. We love the "lower, slower Delaware" area in all the seasons of the year and are always discovering new things to do and places to explore. We think it's a great place for all ages. The best thing about being a host is hearing how other families are making memories here, like we have. We do our best to keep the place well-maintained and try to add something new each year for an enjoyable guest experience.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful with a great view, good proximity to the beach and Ocean City MD, and offers community amenities. Great destination for remote workers. You can view the canal and nature preserve from your desk and enjoy local activities in your downtime.

What makes this property unique

Guest have told us that they like the property because it is family-friendly and pet-friendly. They like the quiet, friendly community. They enjoy having access to the water from our back dock. The 2nd story deck offers a great view of the bay with its abundant wildlife. You'll also catch some amazing sunsets up there.
