Chesapeake Bay Views on island. Rooftop Deck, WiFi, Bikes, Kayaks. Pets Welcome!

Had a wonderful time on the Chesapeake Bay. The home is very accommodating and located in a nice community. You can tell the owners have taken great pride in their home, as it was well furnished and taken care of. The beach is literally across the street . We loved the use of the kayaks and bikes. We brought along our dog who absolutely loved the water as well. The only downfall was the biting flies outside (perhaps the time of year?). Thank you Dean and Cathy for a great week. We will for sure come back !!

We had a great stay at this house. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and roof deck - being able to hear the water in the bay from in the house or to relax on the roof deck is the perfect way to relax! The small community beaches are an easy walk. If you have kids, be sure to bring a beach cart/wagon or you can always just drive up in under a minute. If you are unfamiliar with the area, the beaches are quite small but we typically had the larger of the two community beaches to ourselves for our entire 9 day stay.

If the wind is out of the west, be sure to bring a repellant that works on flies. The black flies are around on the beach and yard with winds off the land. They are nonexistent with a wind off the water (we're used to this in our neck of the woods too). They don't bother everyone, but you know it if you are one of the lucky few!

The house itself is comfortable and had everything we needed. There was ample space in the kitchen to cook and the open kitchen/dining/living room concept was great so that we were never isolated while cooking or relaxing. If you haven't stayed on a small island before or had well water, the tap water can tend to smell a little depending on the recent rain. The owners were fantastic when my wife thought the smell grew worse, showing up quickly to put in a new filter on the house water system and with a case of spring water.

5/5 we highly recommend staying here if you are looking to relax and unwind for a bit.

We had a wonderful time! The house was lovely with a fantastic view and it had everything we would want for a week of relaxation. Thank you for making our vacation a week will will always cherish!

We enjoyed viewing the Osprey , Dolphins , Terns almost every day. Walking around the neighborhood we saw Fiddler Crabs who are shy as you approach and retreat. The home is very nicely decorated and comfortable and met all our expectations. One day we ventured out to the Yorktown Waterfront and Yorktown Battlefield which we would recommend. We also visited nearby Deltaville Maritime Museum and New Point Comfort Lighthouse viewing area.

We had a wonderful time at Dean and Cathy's home on the Chesapeake Bay! When we arrived the place was spotless, the fridge was stocked with bottled water, and there was even a bag of treats for our dog. The well-stocked shed had everything we needed to make our stay complete - kayaks, bikes, floats and beach chairs for the beach, charcoal and lighter fluid for the grill and more. The walk to both public beaches on the island is very short, but when we didn't feel like walking we just hopped on the bikes. If we needed anything Dean and Cathy were just a phone call (or in our case, an email) away, and got back to us within minutes. Our favorite amenities were the rooftop deck, large bay window overlooking the bay, the bikes and of course the kayaks. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely try to stay here!
