  • My family cannot thank Ed and Nancy enough for sharing their wonderful vacation home! We came together from California, Maryland, Virginia and New Jersey, looking for a truly away-from-it-all place; free of the usual resort-city insanity and our experience on Cobb Island greatly surpassed our expectations. As mentioned by other people, the kitchen is SO well equipped- we were a collection of gourmet foodies / semi-professional and we were delighted to find everything we could possibly want. You will NOT run out of plates or silverware!! Caught a lot of fish and grilled it, kids loved kayaking, my son was out at dawn with my newphew to kayak and fish just about every day. The place is just beautiful, peaceful, an extremely comfortable house- the sofas, beds... just what I'd like to have at home! I can truly say this was the best vacation I've ever had and the first with most of my family in over 30 years. We want to come back... it was hard to leave. Enjoyed biking around the island, watching the osprey, big family dinners.. quiet heavenly mornings....Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!

  • Our arrival couldn't have been timed better as a rainbow appeared over the river on Saturday afternoon. The photos online do not do this home justice as it is a wonderfully equipped and a very clean house to spend a week's vacation in. Beside side trips to Washington, DC on the metro, we were out on the pier, swimming/fishing, riding the bikes, and talking to the locals at the nearby stores and restaurants every day. We loved the quiet and watching the wildlife and imagining what it would be like to live in such pleasant surroundings all year 'round.

  • 8/25/07-9/9/07 Probably our best holiday ever. Just wish we had had more time! The house is superbly equipped with everything you could possibly want to make your stay enjoyable. The location is tremendous with a stunning panorama of passing boats and wildlife. We have never seen so many ospreys in one go. And it is so peaceful. The neighbours, Ernie and Bill were helpful, but not intrusive. There are three restaurants, all within walking distance. The crabs at Captain Johns are awesome. We spent most of our time out on the jetty, either sunbathing or fishing. Typical catches were 100 Spot and Perch/day, with a couple of Croaker at night. Went to Bunky's at Soloman for a charter boat and some "proper" fishing. Both kids enjoyed themselves (16 & 12yrs). Kayaks werre a big success. Too hot for bikes though. Lots to see and do within 90 mins driving. DC of course, but Annapolis is a gem. Very English! We can certainly recommend the property to anyone, and the owners are so accommodating and helpful. Thank you Ed and Nancy. We wish we were back on Cobb Island right now!!

  • I agree with the previous posting. Particularly the comment about kitchen. YES IT IS THE BEST. Kayaking/Cycling/Swimming/Fishing....I doubt if I wished for anything else. It was a perfect vacation for everyone from age of 18 months to 40. Defintely will suggest to visit this place.

  • We had a wonderful week at Cobb Island. The house was a superb venue for our family reunion and we all greatly enjoyed the swimming, fishing, kayaking and bicycling around the island. The house is exceptionally well equipped and quite spacious, particularly the kitchen. My wife remarked that this was by far the best equipped kitchen in a rental property she had ever seen. We were able to enjoy outdoor activities suitable for all four generations present, with plenty of room inside for the family to relax in the evening. Thanks again for the great vacation and many memories to treasure. We will certainly keep Cobb Island in our book for future occasions.

  • We had a fabulous one-week vacation in this rental property. The views from this home are outstanding! One of our favorite things to do was to get up in the morning early enough to see the sun rise and enjoy a cup of coffee outside. It was so relaxing to just sit outside and watch the birds and enjoy watching the boats on the river. Watching the birds (especially osprey) and listening to their enjoyable chorus (purple martins and others) each morning was delightful. We enjoyed relaxing in the house, swimming, kayaking, boating, crabbing, biking, and fishing. All the appliances in the home are up-to-date and there are plenty of utensils, glassware, dishes, baking pans, etc., in the kitchen. We had every convenience in our "home away from home". The owners of this rental property take excellent care of the house and everything inside it. The owners are very nice and they made the rental process very easy. If we go to Cobb Island again, we'll stay at this rental property. It is just the best! Thank you so much, Ed and Nancy. We enjoyed our stay immensely and wish we could have stayed longer.

  • We had a great time while visiting Cobb Island. We were there in mid-May and the weather was great. We went out for several long paddles-4 to 5 hours each- and the heat was not too bad, although next time I might consider going even earlier in May. All the creeks were lovely and quite pristine. We couldn't get over the number of bald eagles and osprey we saw. It was a real kayaker's paradise. The house,yard,deck and dock were beyond our expectations. We couldn't have had a better time.

    Aside from the occassional jellyfish (due to small children the lifeguard closed the beach for a few minutes), we all had a great vacation! Our 2 children (1 & 2 yrs old) got to experience many new and exciting things, like crabs! Everyone of us leaves with great memories (&pictures) of your incredible house and amazing scenery. Hopefully we will be able to visit again. Thanks! John & Cathy Blair; Derek, Jen & Emma Fissel; Matt, Christina & Tace Harris July22-29,2006

    Ed: We had a wonderful time this past week. Bill and Ernie are really great neighbors. We caught hundreds of fish. My favorite spot for the week was the Cobb Light bar from 7:00 PM until dark. Caught nice fish almost every cast from stripers to jumbo spot. Caught most of the fish on a silver buddy or on a chartreuse 1 1/2 oz. chartreuse trout bomb with a chartreuse dropper fly. Another lure that worked well was a chartreuse beetle spin with a grass shrimp streamer as a dropper. For bait fishing, Fishbite and gulp bloodworms worked anytime we used them. We caught enough big crabs to have a good feed on Thursday evening. Enjoyed excellent crab cakes for lunch at Quades on several days. The boat lift worked well. I only had to lower it until the plank just became submerged. The keys and remote for the lift were dropped at the Cobb Island PO at 9:00 AM Sat. morning. Have attached some photos that I took this week of the sunrises and also of the full moonglow on Wed evening. Best regards, John ......... August 5-12, 2006

    Although this is my first Cobb Island experience, it is one I will cherish. I have many wonderful memories to take back home like the beautiful sunsets! I appreciate all your hospitality. It makes staying here even more pleasant. Hopefully I will get to come back to this relaxing island someday. Thanks and God Bless Amy Winslow - Labor Day Weekend '06
