Summer vacation and a celebration of life ceremony.
The property is beautiful - overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. We were able to set pots for Chesapeake Bay blue crabs, and also found oysters nearby. Both were excellent after we steamed them in the pot provided. The game room is excellent for pool players, and having a small get together. We were lucky enough to experience two seasons while we were there - hot summer and early Fall. We used the fire pit and also enjoyed the kayaks and the paddle boards. The air conditioning kept the house at 70° when it was 96° outside.

This was a Christmas gift for all my adult children, our first vacation all together. The property was PERFECT for us with all the activities available, billiards, swimming pool, crabbing, grilling, cooking etc! We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.

Family Vacation
This was a perfect spot for our family, including our 2 dogs! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and 2 dogs to spread out. Love all of the outdoor spaces (firepit, pool, hammock, patio and the large yard to play frisbee and cornhole! We also enjoyed spending time on the pier as well as kayaking (even saw some dolphins)This is a place that would be great year around. I am keeping this home on my list for a fall vacation too!!

Private retreat
Super clean! It was great to have 2 refrigerators that were completely empty upon arrival. We used the kayaks and paddleboards every day. The pool was great even though it was a bit chilly late May. In an earlier review someone mentioned the pool cleaner, we thought he came at the perfect time and left the pool crystal clear. The beds were very comfortable and the porch was everyone's favorite spot. All the appliances are very new and the kitchen is well stocked. You won't be disappointed if you choose this property for your next vacay.

Secluded Chesapeake Bay getaway
Absolutely loved the waterfront landscaped property! Our family had an awesome time hiking around the property, crabbing, fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. So quiet and private, we did not see anyone, except for the occasional crabbing boat. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the pool house/ game room. The biggest downfall was the poor cell service/ internet, which was mostly nonexistent, which also meant the tv never really worked. We truly felt like we were cut off from the outside world, which in a way made the trip even better!

Wonderful Vacation!
We were a group of 10 family members and 2 dogs that came from all over to get together at this wonderful property. There was plenty of room and definitely lots of activities. We used the pool, took kayak and SUP excursions, and took advantage of the fun in the pool house. We had lots of plans to go out that faded once we were there. Cell Phone reception/wifi was definitely spotty and clearly stated in the description. Personally, that was the best part. I was truly able to disconnect from everyday life. There was a pool service guy that was super friendly and never made us get out. We kept it fairly clean ourselves even after the storm the 1st night. Which brings me to our rough start to losing power due to a close lightning strike and it being resolved within an hour. The hosts have a binder with anything pertaining to the house, down to the best times to go crabbing. They also were easy to communicate with, even with my spotty reception. My only complaint... it went too fast and I hope we are allowed to return! Thank you!

Fun for all ages!
My family enjoyed our week so much! The house was very clean and set up so we could enjoy both family and private time. They also provided so many amenities such as the pool, kayaks, paddleboards, pool table and corn hole. Mary's house book was extremely helpful and as the house is centrally located we were able to take advantage of the local attractions such as Cape Charles Beach, The Blue Crow antique mall, Chatham Vineyards and The Exmore Diner. Definitely one of our top vacations!

Goods and bads
There are many perks about this property- waterfront, large and spacious, allowed our pups to come along on our trip, the pool, the game room, the provided kayaks. But there were some downfalls too. The pool is serviced 2x/week by a pool guy. Very nice guy, but when you’re looking for a secluded vacation away from everyone and your kiddo has to get out long enough for the guy to do his job… just kinda inconvenient. Upon our arrival, there were 4 very large boxes that appeared to have just been delivered in the way in the area of the outdoor living room as well as a broken end table. In my opinion, for as much as we paid for the week those items should have been removed. The TV in the game room didn’t work. There was very little chalk for the pool sticks. The lamp in one of the spare bedrooms had a bulb burn out. We had to go searching for a bulb. The grounds were a bit grown up in places, and could really benefit from a good weeding or even a groundskeeper. We took the good with the bad though. We’re not too hard to get along with and we weren’t looking for anything too extravagant. The house served its purpose for our family getaway, and we had a great time. My in laws said that this was the best vacation they had ever been on, and that, in my opinion, is a win in my book. Plenty of room for everyone, plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and the fishing was great! Just a few negatives but lots of positives too!
