Perfect Weekend Getaway

House and location was perfect for a long weekend in Rock Hall. House has been nicely updated, super clean, super comfortable, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Best of all you can park your car and walk to the harbor restaurants as well as coffee and ice cream shops on the main drag. It was especially nice for 4th of July fireworks because the best view in town is just a short stroll away down the street.

Clean, Convenient and Accomodating

The house was immaculate, had everything we needed and the location was perfect for attending the Rock Hall Triathlon. Rick was easily reachable and even stopped by in person to welcome us. He was very flexible with check in and check out times around the race. Highly recommend.

Spotless and homey

This house is clean, even the tops of the baseboards and enclosed front porch. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of towels. It is walking distance to the market, churches, coffee shop, and ice cream shop. I was more comfortable here than any short-term rental I have used. The owner offered to stop by as we checked in and was a great guy. We stayed for a long weekend.

Very nice, roomy, comfortable, well-equipped house

Most rentals do not feel like home; but this house surely does. It is in a great location; you can walk to restaurants, the Rock Hall Harbor and many quaint little shops. The house was very clean and well supplied. You only need to bring clothes, food and some personal items. There was also a backyard with outdoor furniture for eating the best local crabs in the area. We definitely plan to rent this house again.

Wonderful home, walk to coffee shop and ice cream

This home was ideally situated within walking distance of a coffee shop, ice cream, a small but well stocked market, and a fresh produce/deli store. Walk to restaurants as well. The home was well maintained and clean. Communication with the owner was easy. One full bath upstairs and one full bath off the kitchen. Would definitely rent again.

Rock Hall rocks!

Marked by the mermaid on the rock, the house on Sharp Street was clean, well furnished, and well equipped. The ice maker needs attention but all other gadgets worked. Loved that 4-slot toaster. We spent a happy August here. Since the house may or may not be available again thru VRBO, let’s concentrate on Rock Hall, a charming old middle class town surrounded on all sides by impressive yachts. Everything is in walking distance from Sharp Street - including one’s favorite boat - but the accoutrements of daily life were most easily and generously available. Start Fresh, for amazing fruit, vegetables, bread, and other goodies: 2 blocks away. Bayside Foods, with its dazzling mural and endless supplies: 3 blocks away. And closest of all, Java Rock, a terrific coffee (and wine by the bottle), bun, and sandwich shop with outdoor tables in the shade filled with the kind of customers who give Rock Hall its welcome - and honest! - slogan: “Nice people live here.” A bit further are restaurants with a range of price points. We went to Osprey Point for a birthday, Watermen’s Crab Shack for a farewell, and Ford’s Seafood for supper when we had been too busy to cook. Every Saturday morning found us 10 short miles away at the Chestertown Farm Market with alluring side-street dashes to the Natural Foods Store or, oh dear, Evergrain Bakery. Croissants to die for…. Whether or not you can enjoy Rick’s Sharp Street house, give Rock Hall a good look. You do not need a yacht.

Incredible!!

Love the house! It was way better than expected, even though it looked great online. It was way bigger than we thought and loved the grill in the back. And you seriously can’t bet the location. So close to everything in town.

Fun, relaxing stay in Rock Hall

We had a lovely time in Rock Hall. There was enough room for all seven of us with no crowding. Backyard was perfect for us with gas grill and picnic tables. Rick and Patty were very helpful. Thank you for a successful first vacation since the pandemic hit. We recommend this beautiful house and location highly!

We rented so I could participate in the triathlon. It’s right on the race route and just down the street from the race beginning/ end/ & transition area. The house has a cute charm and the kids loved it.

A nice home in lovely Rock Hall MD

We enjoyed our stay at this house in Rock Hall. It is a charming place. Even though it rained (on and off) for two of the three days we were there, it was an enjoyable stay. The house is minutes away from the bay and a 15 min drive from Eastern Neck island. Rick and Patty are very helpful, with prompt communication and attention to detail.

Yearly father/son outing

This was our third stay in a property owned by Rick Kessinger, once in another property and twice in this one. It is spacious, clean, and within walking distance of anything needed. He came over to greet us personally this time for we never had met. He obviously cares about his visitors and takes pride in this property.

Excellent, Clean, Spacious, and Idyllic

This property takes hygiene seriously. There is Lysol cleaner in every bathroom, the kitchen, and entryway. The bedding was freshly laundered. The mattresses were excellent - not the springy kind you get at some vacation homes. The kitchen even had spices and seasonings available and some starter oil. They have a crockpot, a toaster, two types of coffee machines, and even give you paper towels and toilet paper. They don’t pinch pennies. The house is great for remote work with internet fast enough to support up to three virtual meetings at a time. The town has a cute market and grocery shop and coffee shop on the corner. One marina is 10 minute walk away, and the other is a 30 minute walk. There is also a small beach nearby. Only minutes by car. Everyone waves to you. There are several cute shops in town as well. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Cute farms and hikes nearby for young kids. Lastly, the house is spacious. You don’t feel like you are stepping on each other’s toes but there are large enough areas to all hang out with each other. The property owner clearly cares about this home.
