It is absolutely the best house in the resort!
Beautiful property. Very well decorated, loved that it wasn’t just blank white walls! Had everything we needed to host a few dinners (aside from the grill, that didn’t work. But that was no biggie.) Came into town to visit with family and will 100% be back. Clean home, beautiful location & lots of very nice little restaurants to go to nearby. Only recommendation to another looking to rent this home is to bring your own Roku or Firestick as there are only like 4 channels on the TV. Aside from that, everything was great and we think we will be booking this exact home again next year! You just can’t beat the spacious home & the beautiful backyard view.

Nice place to stay. No ESPN on the TV. Not cool during College Football season. Not a coffee maker in the house that was operational. Otherwise, nice spot to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Smith

Host profile image
We grew up in Maryland so are lovers of water, fishing and crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay, swimming along the beaches in Ocean City and enjoying the wildlife throughout the state. Kenny's career caused us to both spend over 20 years in Bermuda so again we were captivated by the water. So when Kenny retired and we saw this gorgeous but quaint waterfront opportunity, we couldn't resist owning and enjoying it.

Why they chose this property

We saw the resort in 2013 while visiting my sister in a nearby retirement community so we booked a vacation there for the following February, 2014. We enjoyed it so much that when we saw this house go up for sale, we settled on it before the end of the following month. We've only owned the house since March 2014 but we hope you enjoy it and the surrounding activities as much as our friends, family and we do.

What makes this property unique

Manatees in winter, scalloping in summer, golfing and fishing year round, gorgeous views, beautiful home!
