What our GUEST say:
1. "If you are looking for an off the beaten path vacation and
don't know where to stay on the Eastern Shore, you will be delighted
with this home and location. Though simple, this house offers a
triple delight as it catches the sunrise and sunset as well as
lovely bay breezes. This end and area of the Chesapeake will bring
you back to times gone by when people sat around and talked to each
other for entertainment, enjoying great meals at their own tables.
There are more upscale and active areas on the Eastern Shore, but if
nature and tranquility are high on your life list, you will be happy
with this choice! The home owners are very conscientious and
responsive hosts, adding to the ease of your holiday."
Sylvia and Joe, West Orange, New Jersey
2. "Thank you very much for the rental. Every
one had a great time and everything went well. My friends and I did
some biking and kayaking/canoeing and my wife and daughter came and
spent some time as well. It was very relaxing. We enjoyed the views
from the living room and from the elevated deck. The place was
extremely well stocked with those little items that always seem to
be necessary and the stay provided some much needed 'down' time to
get away from our hectic lifestyles. Thanks again."
Christopher N. Washington D.C.
3. Steve of Bayonne NJ. "I had a great time getting together
with friends . We all enjoyed the fishing trips and the house was
comfortable with views of the bay all around.�
4. Hanna of Columbia MD. Said, "I love coming here and have been
several times . I love lounging by the picture window going for bike
rides, walking, canoeing and eating steamed crabs!�

wrote "We just wanted to say thank you for letting us rent your
beautiful house last week, we had a wonderful time there and enjoyed
using it as a base to explore the Eastern Shore. The food from Beach
to Bay Seafood was particularly delicious.
