Summer smiles

Merle's vacation house gave us another priceless summer memory with the family. Everyone felt at home, which was so important. The beach time with everyone, especially the grandkids, brought so much joy—their smiles alone made the trip unforgettable.

Accurate information.

We stayed two nights at this place. It was quiet and peaceful. Exactly what we need it. Kitchen had what we need for coffee and liquids all good. If you ask me what would I change it would be the bath in the 3rd floor shower wise way too small. Other than that all good.

Cute house

Very spacious and clean. They had all the supplies we needed from toilet paper to towels utensils. The beds were comfortable. My husband was upset about having one TV but to be honest I'm glad they didn't have TVs in the other rooms because we all sat and watch TV together as a family. Very quiet area and even had a cute cat house next door. Did a fire pit in the back and it was very nice.

House Keeping

Nice location. For the most part, I was satisfied. The house does need a deep cleaning. The stove/refrigerator needed attention. Would like to have had space in the pantry to place a few items. Please make checking under all beds as part of the cleaning process.

About the host

Hosted by Merle Starer

Host profile image
25 years ago we purchased a farm on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and fell in love with the natural beauty of this special land. This waterfront farm on Old Plantation Creek enjoys acres of beautiful farm fields, an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay. Our vacation rental properties allows us to share this special magic with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We built this new vacation rental home on our farm because our first vacation rental property was an overwhelming success and we enjoyed hosting visitors to the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore. Now we have two comfortable 6 bedroom homes available for rent on our scenic Eastern Shore farm.

What makes this property unique

Tranquil views of open farm fields. Secluded setting while nearby the charming town of Cape Charles, beautiful beaches and great fishing. Exquisite sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay.
