  We rented this home for our daughter's weekend wedding on Kent Island. The owner was most accommodating to our specific needs. The home was clean and neat upon arrival. The setting is just beautiful, with lots of outdoor space. The bedrooms accommodated our daughters and several guests in a comfortable manner. The kitchen was fully equipped and was able to handle a post wedding luncheon of 30 plus people. The weekend was to be cool and rainy but the owner had turned on the heat prior to our arrival and supplied wood for the fireplace. We would highly recommend this home if you are planning a stay on Kent Island. We plan to come back ourselves.

  We stayed at this wonderful location last weekend with my family and friends. We got very lucky with the weather. It was an amazing time. We had friends every night, had small get together and everyone enjoyed it very much. House is very spacious and very comfortable. All the restaurants and stores are nearby. Annapolis and DC are just as close. We were able to relax and do some tourist stuff. So definitely highly recommend this place. We were very sad to leave- can’t wait to come back next year hopefully.

  My family has rented this house last weekend and can I just say- it has been one of the best vacations we have taken. We did a small party for our family and friends- and everyone had a great time. House was in a very good condition. Lucky for us- the weather was so nice- my kids spend time fishing, playing in the yard all day long. We already booked this for next year, can’t wait to come back to this place. Also- owner called to check on us- and he seems very sweet and very accommodating, since we could stay later then our check out time. I would definitely recommend this place to families and we could even have our small Terrier with us!!!

  The price is excellent, as is the location, and the house is spacious and it's great to be on the bay. The kitchen and bathrooms are quite outdated, however, and the house has not been well maintained. The screens on the porch windows were ripped, water gushed into the living room during a hard rain, and the carpets, walls, ceilings and bathroom tile show wear. The night we arrived, linens did not appear until after 11 p.m. and the septic tank had overflowed. The owner did apologize and had the situations dealt with quickly, but it was not a particularly comfortable stay. It also took 2 1/2 months and the help of VRBO to get our damage deposit back.

  Owner response: This renter visited our home prior to the new septic system being installed. We have invested over $20,000 in a new state of the art system to avoid issues like this. We were unaware that this renter required linens until the last minute and because we were handling the cleaning of them off site due to the septic issues, they did arrive late for which we apologize. We are unaware of any leaks and have no water damage, but we do get strong storms in the summer since we are right on the bay- if the upstairs balcony door is not closed, water can come in to the downstairs porch. Our home is not brand new, but we've redone a bathroom, all ceilings and the kitchen floor in the past year and have more improvements planned for next year. Our other guests have been pleased with what we offer- a large, 5 bedroom home directly on the Chesapeake Bay for under $300 a night even in peak season. This renter's deposit was returned in full after we investigated the leak she reported as we believed it may have been caused by leaving the upstairs door open.

  Rented place in September for daughter's wedding. Place had been "sort of" cleaned. Rugs were vacuumed but the kitchen sink was dirty and not all of the trash had been emptied. Exterior paint was peeling. Condition of exterior was bad enough that we had to take outdoor wedding pictures next door. Windows on back porch would not all close as cranks were broken. Garage door would not close. TV in living room was broken. Front porch had dead bugs near house entrance. I would give a "Fair" rating except for the fact that, on top of all the problems, the owner has not responded to repeated requests to return our deposit.

  Owner response: We are disappointed that this renter was dissatisfied with their experience at our home. While this is not a new house, all of our previous renters have been very satisfied. With regard to the condition of the lawn, we advised this renter prior to his arrival date that we were having our septic system replaced and that we could postpone the work if necessary. He advised us to continue and that it wouldn't be a problem. Our house is always properly cleaned but trash is taken on Wednesday, so the cans are rarely totally empty when new renters arrive on Saturday or Sunday. The tv in the living room was in fact broken by a renter who moved it to another room. We held this deposit until we could determine when it happened. This renter's full deposit was returned a little over a month after his rental. We try to please all of our guests and believe we offer a great value for a 5 bedroom waterfront home; unfortunately, this guest could not be satisfied.

  My husband, two daughers, their husbands and our grandchildren enjoyed a 4 night stay in this very comfortable, family friendly home beginning June 15, 2011. We were in the area to attend a close friend's wedding and we thought renting a large home instead of staying in a hotel would be a good idea and it was! There was plenty of room for all of us to have our privacy if we wanted it and also lots of family get together space as well! The beds were all comfortable and the house was clean and inviting. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer to use as well. The view of the Chesapeake Bay is gorgeous and the upstairs deck was a favorite spot for our grandchildren to sit on in the early mornings and watch the ships go by. The weather was sunny and hot and the kids were even able to take a dip. The water is rocky, but there is enough beach area where they were able to splash around (ages 8, 9 and 10) and have fun. It really was a perfect place for our vacation. The children caught fire flys every night and they were totally enchanted by them. I was even able to do some work in a very pleasant atmosphere because the home has a wifi connection. The location is so convenient to so many things. Our children took the train into Washington one day to do some sightseeing and we all took a day to drive into Baltimore to visit the Aquarium. All in all, it was one of our best vacations and we do plan to visit again next year, but next time we will stay longer than 4 nights.

  Owner response: We are so pleased that this family so enjoyed our home. Our home has so much to offer, especially for family summer vacations, and we are grateful that these vistors enjoyed such a great time at our Chesapeake Bay treasure!
