Summer smiles

Merle's vacation house gave us another priceless summer memory with the family. Everyone felt at home, which was so important. The beach time with everyone, especially the grandkids, brought so much joy—their smiles alone made the trip unforgettable.

Our stay here was good! We had four adults, three kids, and one dog and there was more than enough space. The property is quiet and the yard is huge. We wanted to use the outdoor fireplace but didn't have time. The host brought us over a big steamer pot when we said we might get crabs. My only issues were fairly minor - the blinds in many of the bedrooms are not great. Some were broken and couldn't be raised/lowered, and they are fairly transparent and let in a lot of light (especially early in the morning). A lightbulb in the downstairs bathroom shower was burned out. For a house that can sleep so many, additional silverware would have been welcome (we were washing forks and spoons way too often). A rimmed baking sheet or some new nonstick pans wouldn't go amiss. But otherwise it was a great place for a group to gather. Thanks to Merle!

About the host

Hosted by Merle Starer

Host profile image
25 years ago we purchased a farm on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and fell in love with the natural beauty of this special land. This waterfront farm on Old Plantation Creek enjoys acres of beautiful farm fields, an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay. Our vacation rental properties allows us to share this special magic with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We built this new vacation rental home on our farm because our first vacation rental property was an overwhelming success and we enjoyed hosting visitors to the natural beauty of the Eastern Shore. Now we have two comfortable 6 bedroom homes available for rent on our scenic Eastern Shore farm.

What makes this property unique

Tranquil views of open farm fields. Secluded setting while nearby the charming town of Cape Charles, beautiful beaches and great fishing. Exquisite sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay.
