Quiet and charming is what my wife and I wanted. That is exactly what we experienced. The sunrises and sunsets are fantastic when overlooking the water. The cottage was clean and well appointed. I recommend for a stay.

This house was great for our stay. It’s very remote, which is perfect for unwinding. The check in process was seamless, and when we arrived the house was clean and ready. The property was really nice, kayaks were available for our use, and the boat house was stocked with fishing and crabbing gear. The screened in porch was our favorite spot, the bugs this time of year are plentiful, so it gave us plenty of protection from them while we enjoyed the outdoors. The deck was also great if you braved the bugs, after the sun sets, the celestial magic begins, such a great spot to watch the Perseids meteor shower. The kitchen was also nicely stocked and great for cooking dinner while staying in. The only negative I can see with this property is that it is at least an hour from a beach, but if you’re looking for an authentic Chesapeake Bay adventure, this is the place.

Summer 2024

We had a great stay at the cottage with our kids & dogs. The cottage was well-appointed, with the full kitchen so we did a few crab boils - excellent! Paddled up and down the Big Annemessex River, very peaceful, lots of birds and wildlife to observe. It's a beautiful spot.

Relaxing

The property is clean and decorated beautifully. If you love nature this is the place for you . We were there a week and saw baby foxes, bald eagles, Herons, cranes, hummingbirds, pileated woodpecker, crabs, fish, deer….enjoy a cup of coffee on the screened in porch and watch the sunrise. Beautiful place.

Perfect home at the river

We stayed for a weekend - wished it would've been longer! Great, quiet family home with lots of character in a beautiful spot by the river. Kitchen is well equipped with all that's needed. Everything is very organized and clean. We enjoyed kayaking and the campfire in the evening. Thanks Kelly - we'll try to come back again soon.

Relaxing

As a mom of two , one with Tourette’s and comorbidies that go with it, relaxing getaways are few and far between. This was just what the doctor ordered. Kayaking, fishing, nature walks!!

Excellent rental

This was our first time renting this property and will probably be a yearly stay from here on out. It was a great vacation. We appreciated all the little things as well such as, 3-in-1body was for men and women, kitchen supplies like zip lock bags, firewood and propane for the grill. There are a lot more things but that is just some to mention. Our pups really enjoyed the stay as well.

Perfect spot to wine down!

Lovely secluded cottage, perfect place to get away! The cottage was very clean and decorated to match the area. We sat on the screened in porch in the evenings and chilled. Even with the high tides we could not have been happier. In all the years we have rented through VRBO, this was by far, the best communication we have experienced. We will definitely be back!

the place to be

Our time at the Westover river front cottage was beyond our dreams! The water front scenery was just breathtaking...water fowl, eagles, nature all around. The inside coziness, complete with everything we could need was right at our fingertips. The decor was relaxing and colorful at the same time. Ben and Kelly answered our questions at a moments' notice! Our traveling companion dog was made to feel right at home with the little extras Kelly provided.Our exploration of the area led us to Assateague National Seashore...which was quite delightful. We even caught site of the wild ponies! The towns of Berlin and Crisfield are close by as well as Pocomoke State Park and Janes Island State Park.Westover Cottage is "the place to be" for exploring and enjoying the lower eastern Shore of Maryland!Kudos to Ben and Kelly for making it possible for us to have such a spectacular time!
