This house was amazing!!! It had everything we needed and then some! The location was perfect as was the deck with a wonderful view of the Canal! The host, Jane, was incredible!!!! Very informative, helpful, quick with responses and went out of her way to move some furniture in the garage so that we could park motorcycles in there!! Our group of 14 were very comfortable and pleased with the whole weekend and will definitely be back!One note - there is not a gas grill, it's charcoal, which was fine. Just know to bring charcoal with you if you plan to bbq.
The house was fantastic. Equipped with everything you could need . Extremely organized with things labeled so no guessing and randomly pulling open drawers, etc. Beautiful view of canal. Easy access to walking/biking trail and water ferry to taxi to the south side of city. Town is quaint and there are also ferry tours of the canal, which my group really enjoyed. Jane is a top tier host. I have done many vacation rentals in various cities/states over the years and she is well in the top in terms of communicating and being accommodating! Karen K.
Great stay with extended family. The house was actually better in person than the photos. It had everything we needed and well labeled. Beautiful views and easy access to the canal trail.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the view! It really is one of the special things about this place. Thanks for your kind words, and I hope it made your stay even more memorable! Please return soon. Thank you for staying.
Jane was very friendly and welcoming! She was responsive and so accommodating.The property was exactly as it was advertised.The beds were very comfortable and plenty of room to spread out. The views were incredible!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back again.
We had our annual friends get-together and the house was perfect. It was nice that all the rooms/beds accommodated adults, no twin bunkbeds to deal with. It was very comfortable and the living/dining areas had seating for everyone. We're coming back!
We attended a wedding across the canal from this house at the Chesapeake Inn. It was very cool to see these really large ships go by as we sat on the deck. Very nice accommodations here! Jane was a great host!
We had a wonderful stay in Chesapeake City! The property was very clean, well stocked, and perfect for our family. The kitchen is gorgeous with a beautiful view of the water, and everything is labeled so items are easy to find and put away. Just a short walk to dinner at Schaefer’s Canal House and the trail. Highly recommend!
The house was perfect for our weekend! We wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was organized, clean and the layout of the house was great for our group of families! Every detail was thought of!
The house was spotlessly clean and fully equipped, including iron, steamer, hair dryers, coffee maker, toaster, high chair and more. There are 2 separate living rooms or family rooms which worked well for our family, and and a spacious kitchen with everything wee needed. Our host was more than considerate and easy to work with. I only wish we had more time to spend in this lovely home.
We decided to stay here vs staying in DE for a football tournament this past weekend and the house was great! Very clean, beautiful view, just big enough to fit our 2 families with kids and was super comfy. The host was also great and very accommodating. We loved our little weekend getaway with a beautiful view!

Kerri: Thank you for the positive review! It was my pleasure to host you, your friends, and family. Thank you for leaving the house neat and tidy. I hope you come back for the next tournament!
Peaceful area., The yard was large and pretty with a great view of the canal. The location is close to a walking trail and a wonderful restaurant. Across the water was a charming historical town. There were plenty of bedrooms, and bathrooms. The kitchen was new and spacious. There are a lot of stairs to get into the house and then again up and down the bi-level house. At least there was a lot if us to carry groceries and suitcases.

"A Wonderful Guest that I Highly Recommend!"
Karen, it was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your family! From the moment you arrived, you were polite, respectful, and a delight to communicate with. I like how your family treated the house with great care, leaving everything in impeccable condition. It was clear that you truly appreciated the space, and made sure to follow all house rules, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.
We had some lovely conversations, and they were always friendly and considerate. I would welcome you back anytime and I highly recommend you to other hosts. Thank you, Karen and your family, for being such wonderful guests. Wishing you all the best on your future travels!
We had our annual sibling gathering at this beautiful house. I had 3 brothers and my sister ,and 2 significant others with me. They arranged in age from 70 - 83. We enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck and lower patio. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Ethel: Thank you for staying at Chesapeake City Overlook and I want you to come back again! Have a wonderful holiday.
My family was in the area for a family reunion. We had an incredible stay at this property!! The home boasts breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay that are simply unmatched. Looking at the beautiful lights at night from the restaurant across the way were awesome and waking up to the serene water each morning was a highlight. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, it provided the perfect retreat for relaxation. The host was welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy beautiful surroundings!
What a wonderful weekend on the water! This rental is in a great location for exploring Chesapeake City. It is located on the Schaeffer’s side and in close proximity for walking. Just a short 3 minute-ish drive to the other side of town. The home is beautiful and well kept. The views are gorgeous, with a large deck to take it all in. The home had everything we needed for our group to enjoy a 40th birthday celebration during the hectic St.Pat’s weekend. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely space with us! We would happily come back to this rental again!
This home was absolutely magnificent! Location and scenery were wonderful. Just so much to keep our attention and kept us in awe. This was a family trip with siblings and soooo many wonderful memories were made. We are older now and it means more than ever before. Thank you to our host Jane who kept in touch and was so very attentive. Most gracious. We are already talking about going back. Cannot say enough it thank you from the bottom of our hearts.♥️

Anne, Thank you for the kind words. Please come again.
A wonderful place for all 6 of us adults to stay for a fun filled weekend for a family wedding. Beautifully done, well appointed house with an awesome view! It borders the canal trail, a five minute walk to the bike rental, and a great place (Schaffer’s) for dinner and entertainment. Our hostess was prompt, available at just a text message away. I will seriously plan to book again if I return. Nothing in this house was left undone and there was nothing that we needed that we didn’t have. Thanks again Jane for a beautiful weekend! Tami
