We enjoyed our short stay at this immaculate and comfortable home on the Eastern Shore. The water views are lovely, the neighborhood is quiet and welcoming for long walks, and there are things to do just a short drive away. The place is perfect for early risers, as the house has lots of windows to let sun in and there is a bit of boat engine noise early in the day. The hosts were quick to respond to messages, too.

Thank you! It was so great to host you and we look forw to wel you to our home in the future.
Property is in a beautiful rural area with great water views of the bay. Comfy beds. Living and kitchen area cool decor and design. We travel a lot and have rented from VRBO many times. The kitchen was so nice and one of the most well-appointed with everything needed. Super cute dishes too. Our favorite room was the sunroom where we spent most of our time. We had so much fun in the area: Checking out blackwater wildlife refuge, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad museum, historic landmarks including the courthouse and the little schoolhouse , Cambridge and all the little shops and restaurants, the lighthouse, marina and waterfront in Cambridge. We drove around Taylor's Island and to the end of Hooper's Island which is such a beautiful drive . We learned a lot, it felt like a fun field trip! Also, there's the sweetest family farm down the road called Emily's with lots of activities for kids, beautiful gardens, great local prepared foods and the best tomatos ever. Very hot last week when we were there . The air conditioning wall units cooled the house down but had to keep bedroom doors open and run fans to maintain flow of cool air. Despite prevention measures, we also didn't go outside at the property because of the mosquitos which is no one's fault, just something to be aware of. We had a great time and the owners were really great.
