This is a great house for an entire family, or a few couples, or even two smaller families! Our host, Becky, was very attentive with communications. It is incredibly clean and very comfortable! The pictures for the listing are accurate, and when you get there, you'll notice that it's even better in person!

Scenic Spot

This was the perfect spot for our family to stay for a family reunion close by. The house layout was perfect for our stay. The house was very clean and decorated nicely. We loved walking across the street for a beautiful sunrise along the dock and water. Just a few steps away we enjoyed yummy food, drinks, and entertaining live music at local restaurants.

Clean and well featured. Only small things. Large round window in master faces street lights and has no blinds. Rough if you like a dark room. AC in master had a regular popping sound that was low. Took a bit but got used to it. Baths were awesome. If there on a weekend. It is beside the Wellwood which can have live music outside. Didn’t go too late though. Beds were comfortable.

Sweet home away from home. Exclamation

Wonderful vacation spot to relax and unwind. Accommodations were very well kept and comfortable. Located in a very quiet charming town. Perfect for our trip purposes. Close to anything you might need. Host was quick to answer any questions. Would definitely recommend this property. Would love to stay here again. Hopefully longer next time.

Property is as described. Inconvenience from the start with attempting to get ahold of the property manager for the code. This would be more effective if you are not going to provide the entry code with your day of instructions email that you email the code at 3pm as opposed to having the guests attempt to get ahold of someone for the code. By the time we got the code through VRBO help it was 35 minutes of us being on the property before even getting in. The house was clean however cobwebs and dust bunnies were left behind in very obvious spaces. The showers are beautiful and the beds are cozy. Wonderful peaceful location.

Lacrosse tournament weekend

This house exceeded all expectations! Very comfortable and beautifully decorated from the furnishings to the bathrooms to the beds. We had plenty of space for 8, and plenty of towels for all of us. We had a delicious dinner at the River Shack next door. Wonderful water views in a quiet neighborhood. I would love to stay here again, highly recommend!

It was great stay!

This property was perfect for our stay! The charm of this home and neighborhood was lovely! People were friendly the views spectacular and you could walk to eat at fantastic restaurants! The home was clean and relaxing. The little things in this home like the art work, Kleenex and plenty of towels. There was hygiene in case you forgot yours. There is no full kitchen but the outdoor space with a grill was perfect and who wants to cook with the local restaurants you walk across the street for. Will be definitely booking here again!

Clean cute home with kitchenettes. Home was perfect for us and bc it lacked a full kitchen we took advantage of the wonderful restaurants across the street. This home was perfect for our short stay! Would stay here again.

Cozy cottage for ladies’ weekend

Four friends and I (all in our early 40’s) rented this cozy cottage for a ladies’ weekend. It was a great setup for us and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a dinner at The Wellwood a short walk away and hanging out by the water. It was a bit challenging getting an Uber to Havre de Grace for dinner on Friday but we were able to, and a Lyft back afterwards. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms were nice, and the house was clean. We had an enjoyable stay here.

Charlestown Rocks

We came to town to compete in the Bassmaster Open fishing tournament. This house was perfect! The boat launch was right down the street and two excellent restaurants were next door. The property also had plenty of property for parking out trucks and trailers. 5 stars.

Family Outing

We had a wonderful time. The house was centrally located to everything. My brother had a boat at the pier so it was convenient to be able to walk back and forth. Wonderful family time and great memories. Would highly recommend this place! It was comfortable and clean! 5 stars all the way!!

Thanksgiving in Charlestown

We enjoyed our stay. Little disappointed with dust debris food paper under couches and bed. Lots of spider webs and bugs around ceiling lights. K pot has issue and not enough coffee cups. None of this hindered our stay. Just noticeable and easy fix for next guest.

Lovely stay

Lovely place. Great bathrooms and beds. Easy check in and out. I didn’t fully get that the kitchenettes didn’t have even a stove top so know that you will not be cooking anything—only microwaves and not even enough plastic ware for eating so it is very hotel like in that way. Bedrooms lovely. The lawn was mowed loudly at 6:30am one morning for awhile which was unfortunate since it woke us all up. Otherwise lovely visit.
