Fishing Cove Private Waterfront Retreat with Pool and Pier - Sleeps 22

Plenty of bdrm space .The upstairs den area became our yoga studio!The kitchen is well stocked for all cuisine prep and having two refrigerators was great. The view is lovely and we were able to enjoy the deck while shucking and eating our oysters on Thanksgiving .The House was clean and well stocked with paper products.We visited the downtown cntr of Cambridge for lunch and shopping .We all enjoyed Fishing Cove and look forward to a return visit

Great overall place. We spent our family reunion there with 10 adults and 6 kids. Only minor issues appropriate for age of the House. Bedroom setup is fantastic.

We loved it! We had 13 people who stayed the whole time, and a couple that came in for visits.

The place is spacious and has the "right stuff" (plenty of towels, kitchen utensils and appliances/equipment (2 fridges!), games and puzzles, a great deck for reading, and, best of all, a swimming pool).

We've stayed in a lot of places (in various areas), and this one had the best configuration with good furnishings. We didn't get to enjoy the big yard, because it rained every day there, but it would be a great play area for children (with mosquito repellant on). The heavy rain also meant that the crabbing was not great, but just wait until next year!

The one suggestion I would make is to add some hooks to the doors to hang up towels.

The host was very responsive and helpful, both before and during our visit.

We treated our two adult children and their families to a week at Fishing Cove. There were 11 of us ranging in age from me and my husband in our seventies to our elementary age and young adult grandchildren. My 91 year old sister who lives about 90 minutes away came and spent one night with us also. She uses a walker and was able to navigate the deck, bedrooms and bath with no problem with her walker. There was tons of sleeping and outdoor deck and pool space for everyone. I am from MD originally and have extended family there, so throughout the week relatives came and visited us and there was plenty of room for guests. One of the best features of the house is the proximity of the pool to the house. It is literally right outside the door - across the deck and down three stairs. Swimmers and non-swimmers could visit together happily. The house was very clean and the kitchen updated and modern with tons of cooking equipment, dishes, and utensils. There was also a plentiful supply of towels for pool and bath alike. We do not have a pool at home and we found the pool equipment rather intimidating but on the other hand, all the automation meant that it was clean and in good shape for us. There were lots of insects - not so many mosquitoes, as house flies and some kind of biting fly. I realize that is unavoidable in that watery, rural environment but recommend religious use of insect repellent while outdoors. I don’t like the stuff much so paid for that by getting lots of itchy bites! That was minor compared to the pleasure we got out of this property. Indoor living space would be tight for large groups (say over a dozen) in cold weather when the outdoor living space could not be utilized. Other than that caveat I highly recommend this peaceful, quiet, lovely property!

Our book group (9 women) spent a delightful two nights at Fishing Cove House. The house easily accommodated the 9 of us with its variety of sleeping options, and enough bathrooms for minimal sharing. The house is very well equipped (new kitchen and appliances) with spaces for large and small group gatherings as well as quiet corners for individual reading. The location of the house is quiet and private, with great outdoor space with ample seating and lovely water views. All in all a very comfortable place in easy access (2 hours) from Washington DC.
