Pool & Yard Retreat | 4BR | 20 Min to Annapolis

Thank you, Karen, for the 10/10 and for choosing Vanishing Run Retreat for your girls’ trip! We’re glad the layout and amenities worked well for your group. We’ll definitely take your suggestion for a full-length mirror into consideration. Hope to host you again! — Sarah and the B4K Team

Thank you so much, Autumn! We’re glad you and the other families had a great stay and enjoyed the pool, grill, and nearby field — sounds like the boys made the most of it! We appreciate your feedback about the upstairs mini splits; we’ll definitely look into ways to improve the cooling to make future stays even more comfortable. Thank you again for choosing our home for your sons’ tournament weekend — we’d love to host you all again! Sarah and the B4K Team

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We’re so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at the South County Poolside Hangout for your son’s Naval Academy graduation — what a wonderful milestone to celebrate together! It’s great to hear the house was clean, comfortable, and had those little extras you found helpful (we love hearing when small touches come in handy). We appreciate your note about the scissors — we’ll be sure to add a pair for future guests. And thank you for your kind words about the home — we agree the photos don’t quite capture its charm, so we love that you felt the same. We wish the weather had cooperated for a swim, but we’re glad the pool was ready just in case. Thank you again for recommending us — we’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing our home for your family getaway. I'm delighted to hear that you found the house beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, and that you appreciated the comfortable beds and the serene surroundings. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and I'm glad my responsiveness met your expectations. I sincerely apologize for the condition of the pool during your stay. Unfortunately, a storm prior to your arrival impacted the pool's cleanliness, and due to the timing over the weekend, we were unable to secure immediate cleaning services. I understand how important the pool was to your experience, and I'm truly sorry for any disappointment this caused. To prevent similar situations in the future, we're implementing measures to ensure the pool is promptly serviced after any inclement weather, regardless of the day of the week. Your feedback is invaluable, and I appreciate your understanding. I look forward to the opportunity to host you and your family again soon, and I hope to provide an even better experience next time.

Hi Jillian, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest review. We're so glad to hear that the home was clean, well set up, and easy for your group to enjoy time together. It’s great to know check-in was smooth overall and that communication worked well for the most part. I truly apologize for the lapse in follow-up regarding your early check-in request — that’s on us, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We’ll be reviewing our communication protocols with the cleaning team to ensure we close that loop better in the future. Regarding the minisplits and the musty smell — thank you for your patience with the temporary window units. We're actively working on resolving the HVAC issue permanently and will take a closer look at the scent concerns to make sure guests always walk into a fresh, welcoming space. Thanks also for the notes on the water pressure and upstairs bathroom. Feedback like this helps us make improvements and ensure every stay is even better. Despite the rain, we’re so happy to hear that you and your group enjoyed the weekend together. We'd love the opportunity to host you again! Warm regards, Sarah and the B4K Team

Thanks for your feedback, Kathleen. We’re glad you liked the layout and updates, and we appreciate you letting us know about the bedding issues so we could take care of them right away.
