Wonderful

We had a great time fishing and exploring the Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach. The cabin was beautiful and secluded. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock and fishing every evening. There were plenty of deer, bunnies, birds, and crabs to keep us company. Our dog loved playing frisbee and taking walks in the evening. There are lots of fun things to do in the area if you love the outdoors. If you don't mind a little longer drive, Virginia Beach is a great day trip with lots of nice beaches.

Thank you so much for your stay at my home. I hope you enjoyed the stars at night along with a full moon. Maybe next time you'll be able to enjoy a rocket launch from NASA at Wallops Island. I also hope you enjoyed the abundant FREE supply of Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs. I work hard so you can have memories of a Magical Place look forward to you returning.
Rockin rando was a awesome hoast very accommodating and was always available to answer any questions we had.

Beautiful spot. Location location location! Can’t wait to go back
The only thing I could say that isn’t positive is that it doesn’t sleep 6 comfortably or with privacy. Randy was a great host and its a beautiful location.

Thanks Ken for the nice review. You must have missed that not only do I have 2 queen size beds upstairs that sleeps 4 comfortably I also have the 2 fold out sofa's that sleep 2 each comfortably. I'm not understanding your comment. The sleeping quarters have been explained in detail how the rooms are laid out in the description section of my ad. Thanks again for your stay and look forward to having you back soon.
Great location right on the water. Access to kayaks and canoes was a great addition to this booking. Nice dock m and good for crabbing and fishing. Randy was also easily available to answer questions

Thanks for the nice review. As you can tell I work very hard to be the best of the best when it comes to uniquely. Nature rules. Look forward to having you back.
The property was secluded and relaxing. If you wanted to be active, there are opportunities on the water, or on the land. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. The house is full of interesting collectibles. The host was very helpful and attentive to guest needs.

Thank you Scott for your kind review. I look forward to having you back down and hopefully we can run a trotline together and get some crabs for sure.
Randy’s place is such a unique cabin with a ton of character! He was very communicative with us prior to the trip to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. The location was perfect. Completely private with your own oyster bar at every low tide. We spent two nights but will be back for sure!

Duskin thanks for the nice review. Your response was what I have worked very hard to create. A place that is off the grid, unique, affordable and a place you want to return to again and again.
Had a great time at this house. Secluded area, very quiet, plenty of space to let the dog roam around. Very nice patio and screened in porch looking out at the water. Owner was very responsive and helpful. We would book this trip again.

Thanks Mitch. Glad you had a great time in Mother Natures Playground. Won't go hungry for excitement and seafood here partner, look forward to having you back.
We caught plenty of crabs off the dock. The fish gave us the slip. Everyone we met in the area was super nice. It is a great place to leave the hustle and bustle behind.
This was a lovely location tucked away from everything and we found it very peaceful. Having kayaks, a canoe as well as two bicycles was a real plus. The pier was a nice place to hang out. The outside shower was another lovely feature! The owner, Randy is very accessible!

A Peaceful Escape by the Water – Just What You Need
Had a wonderful, peaceful vacation right on the waterfront. The location was perfect, offering great views and direct access to the water. We had a lot of fun crabbing and fishing off the dock. Having access to kayaks and canoes was a fantastic bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable. The owner, Randy, was very helpful and always available to answer our questions. Overall, it was a great experience, and we truly enjoyed it.

We enjoyed setting out the crab pots and catching 6 keepers. We enjoyed the chance to take our boat from Va beach right to the dock.

I'm glad that the sea journey was successful and safely. Look foward to having you back
We had an absolute blast over Memorial Day weekend! The house was the perfect getaway — peaceful, relaxing, and full of little adventures. The pier was a highlight for us. We caught 3 stingrays, 2 eels, fish, crab, and even oysters — such a fun variety that kept us on our toes!It was also such a treat to bring our dogs along and include our fur family in the fun. We enjoyed dinner every night in the screened-in patio and sipped coffee each morning on the upstairs deck — just the kind of relaxing time we needed.Conveniently located too — Walmart was only about 20 minutes away for anything we needed. We’ll definitely be back again!Great host- endured we were taken care of!

We had a great short stay at the house. Very cool. If you love nature and being secluded, this is a great spot for you. Friendly caretaker was working on a project nearby, and welcomed us shortly after our arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Randy 'Rockin Rando' Martinez
Rockin Rando is a former Navy Vet as well as a former State Trooper and he like's not hearing any noise except mother nature, the popping of a "cold daddy" and the noise of water breaking while netting the infamous Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab. This is life folks when you can step outside your back door and fill your belly with what mother nature provides, from Rockfish, Flounder, Croakers all the way to oysters. Plenty of bait at your own private dock with "Bull Minnows" and "Fiddler Crabs". Whether you like fishing or just hanging out in a place where your away from mankind this is it.
Why they chose this property
Because it is off the grid, SECLUDED AND REMOTE, not easily found and ton's of fun for those of us that enjoy Mother Nature in all glory. From Sunrise to Sunset to a clear night with Star's everywhere you will enjoy your stay for sure.
What makes this property unique
Where do I start? You have your own New Fishing Pier and launch area for motor boat, you have free access to canoes and kayaks, outdoor shower second to none, outside porch also second to none, all the crabs you can eat, a home like you would like to call your own and so much more. The Spring of 2021 brought you "Shark Beach" and 2022 brings you a New outdoor Cooking Station complete with Charcoal Grill, Gas Grill, Blackstone Griddle, Crab Cooker and Crab Pot. If you can't relax, recharge and reflect here you might consider seeking a Doctor. Enjoy a small campfire, stars and smores at nightfall.
