We loved this place! We were in town for baseball. It is very nice and has all the comforts of home. Kitchen big and well equipped, house was clean and very well furnished. Nice bathrooms and a lovely screened in back porch. It is very near a beautiful beach on the bay that has some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. We really enjoyed this perk!! Prompt communication and everything was as described. I highly recommend this rental!!

Always a Great Stay!

We have had the opportunity to stay at this location for several years! We come down to do some duck hunting and always enjoy the accommodations. The house is perfect and we can easily fit 2 boats with trailers in the drive! We will be back next year!

Perfect for our day trips.

Great place to come home to after our day trips to Assateague, Chincoteague, Ocean City and much more. The local beach is just down the road and we had it to ourselves every time we went including the only time we had sun which made for gorgeous sunset pics. So glad our dogs were welcome. Even got to take them through the Skipjack Museum a short walk away.

Great view

This was a perfect spot in the middle of nowhere to relax and just enjoy nature. The beds were very comfortable. Everything you need is there. Just a perfect spot if you need to get away from the big town or city life. Communication between the property manager was very quick and friendly. We would definitely use this location again.

Family time

This property is definitely big enough for 8. Needed to use one cot. Description was not clear as to the size bed in third bedroom, but the cot fit in perfectly. Enjoyed walking over the bridge to the beach!

Very remote place to unplug.

This stay was so relaxing and gave me so much quiet to unwind. I loved the style and overall atmosphere of the home. The only downsides were particularly how far you are from other towns and food! The other downside for us personally was the water, when you bathe, it may have been well water or directly from the surrounding bodies of water. I would suggest to future guests to bring their own drinking water. Aside from those things, I would certainly recommend this stay for people looking to unplug from city life.

Roomy, great cottage for family w pets!

Interior roomy, clean and well stocked. Location close to fishing and heart od Deal Island. Room for your stuff, your family and dogs. Had priblem with heat at checkin but owner made sure service halpened immediately! Was up and running within 2 hours. Thank you. Only negative was exterior maintenence. Grass and weeds way overgrown, tree debris ... just needed aome attention. In the big scheme this is minor, but would uave enhanced the stay. But, dont be put off, a great place if you enjoy the idea od Deal Island amenities. We would absolutely book again!

A Real Deal

Place was very nice, in a quiet community (only heard a crowing rooster at some distance.) The inside was completely renovated and very spacious. A plus, master bathroom w/ its own bathroom! Slight hiccup in that the TV crapped out first night. Replacement was ordered but delayed in shipment. However, the cleaning lady loaned us one for the last 4 days, allowing us to watch our shows. Deer bounding about in the backyard. There was a 20 minute drive out to the main road, with no convenience store anywhere nearby. Shop ahead of time before checking in (Food Lion.) Overall, good time. Glad wasn't staying the week when Ophelia hit nearby! Plus, beautiful sunsets on Deal Isl proper, by beach.
