Family and Pet-Friendly, Waterfront with Pier

We had a wonderful stay at Rob and Clarissa's Carriage House. Rob is such a friendly and helpful innkeeper, and an interesting person to talk to. The property is a beautiful spot on the bay to relax and enjoy sunsets and campfires. Rob also has canoes, yard games, and firewood available for your stay, which makes it easy to have fun. The house itself is beautiful and cozy - Rob built it himself! And you can feel the love he put into it. If you're from the city like me, you'll be stunned by how brightly the stars in the night sky shine when you're gazing up at them from a hammock by the bay. We were so relaxed by the end of our stay, we didn't want to leave. We will have to visit again sometime!

The property is lovely, and so are the hosts. We were all very happy with our stay. Cambridge is an interesting place, and the views from our unit were spectacular. So much to do just being on the property. We all enjoyed our long weekend.

The hosts were very welcoming, helpful, good communication throughout the reservation process and stay.

Our host, Rob, was kind and helpful, and the place was beautiful! Five stars all the way!

Wonderful stay. Incredibly responsive and friendly hosts. The cleanest short-term rental we have stayed at. Beautiful views. We look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful location with delightful water views. We enjoyed canoeing, making smores at the fire pit, going for walks in the woods and just relaxing.Rob and Clarissa great with getting us oriented to the property and available if anything came up. Our granddaughter loved the playhouse as well as the swing and hammock

Nice place. Very clean.

Another wonderful stay at this absolute jewel of a place. We had an amazing weekend and our kids loved every minute of it (even though it rained!). The house is perfect for 2 couples with kids. Communication with Rob and Clarissa was super easy, the house was spotless, and we were very comfortable. We’ll be coming up again soon!!

Robert and Clarissa were welcoming and as hospitable as could be. The scenery was just beautiful. Great stay for Ironman Maryland!

Beautiful experience. The property was right on the bay with spectacular views and sunsets. The house itself was wonderful. It was comfortable and beautifully appointed with high quality furnishings and antiques.The kitchen had everything needed. AC and overhead fans provided excellent comfort. Kayaks and a canoe were great for cruising on the bay. They also had bikes available (we brought our own). Biking is a pleasure on the rural and flat terrain of the Eastern shore. Lastly (but not least) our hosts, Rob and Clarise were wonderful. Always accessable, helpful and friendly. Kudos all around.l

From beginning to end the entire experience was amazing! Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming. The house was the perfect size for our 8 ppl and 5 dogs. They had everything we needed to spend time on the water. We hope to make regular return visits!

The property is lovely and our host was top-notch. Only comment is there is no washer/dryer for clothes, However, our host invited us to use their washer/dryer. Could not speak more highly of this property.

The property, house and amenities were exactly as described. Absolutely gorgeous views second only to the hospitality extended by Rob and Clarissa!

Rob and Clarissa's property is in the perfect location on Brooks Creek. The views are spectacular! We enjoyed listening to the birds or watching the activity on the water while we sipped our morning coffee. The three bedrooms and loft space provided more than enough room for 4 adults and two 17 year old boys. Rob is very responsive to any needs his guests may have. Several members of our party enjoyed taking the kayaks out on the creek. The boys enjoyed cooling off in the pool. We also used our bikes to ride on Cassons Neck Road to get a 6.5 mile round trip ride in.The boys rode to Soft and Salty Seafood for homemade ice cream. We also enjoyed a 1/2 bushel of crabs from Soft and Salty. Rob had everything we needed to pick crabs under the pergola on a sunny day.The home is a 20 minute drive to Cambridge where we found a couple very nice shops with artwork from local artists. Layton's Chance is a winery in Vienna that is a must visit for a flight of wine tasting or a slushy.This is the perfect place to just get away and relax at the property or travel to near by attractions. Our adult children took day trips to the many beach choices while we relaxed closer to Cambridge.

This was an extension of our original 4-day stay. We had so much wonderful and fun time that we stayed an extra day. The owners Rob and Clarissa were the best host!

Property ground was huge with plenty of leisure activities to enjoy such as kayaks, dart board, above ground pool, bikes, swing, etc.The most enjoyable part was the private dock where we enjoyed crabbing and fishing, sunset viewing and just plain relaxing. All rooms were nicely organized with clean sheets, linen, towels and toiletries. The icing on the cake was the kindness and generosity of the owners Rob and Clarissa. They made us feel at home and treated us like family in going far beyond what's expected from any vrbo rental owners we have had in the past. Can't wait for our next summer crabbing experience in this mini paradise!

The property and hosts were exactly as advertised and what we were looking for. We absolutely love this area and after connecting with Rob and Clarisa our hope is for many return stays. I've been vacationing on the eastern shore for over 50 years and have always appreciated the hospitality of the people, its very refreshing to still experience this same hospitality. Thanks Rob and Clarisa

We had grandparents (75yr), parents (50yr), young adults and teenagers (17-21) and a dog. Everyone had something to do and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We did canoeing, swimming, boarding, fishing, crabbing, biking, sunbathing, we had S’mores, watched marvelous sunset, played card games. The dog had the most fun by chasing squirrels and rolling in the mud. He did not get to do this at home. My parents came to visit me from Bejing China. They had a good time talking with Rob and their grandkids. The house is fully equipped with everything we needed. We hope to come back again!

It is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the water. We will book again if we are back that way.

What a wonderful area on the water. The proprietors were such friendly and accommodating people. The apartment was clean and well stocked. They had a wide range of activities on the property. It was wonderful being able to sit near the water and enjoy my friend’s company. I highly recommend this welcoming place.

This was the perfect location and property for our family. I only wished we booked a longer trip! The amenities inside and out, and the friendliness of our hosts made this a great way to relax away from the Beltway and get out on the water. The kids didn’t want to leave

The only thing I can say is that the online listing really doesn’t do justice to how amazingly stunning Rob & Clarissa’s place is. My family and I decided last minute that we wanted to spend a weekend on the bay. I never expected it to be so beautiful! We got there late in the evening and we were speechless when we woke up to the most beautiful view of the water. My son had an amazing time between playing in the loft or in the playhouse outside, kayaking, and paddle boating. My parents “settled” for chilling by the water and enjoying the firepit and gazebo. I strongly recommend it and plan to go back as soon as we can. Thank you for a wonderful time, Rob & Clarissa!!

If you’re looking for a remote location on the water, this is it. House was clean, hosts were nice. No complaints.

If you are looking for a bit of serenity and stillness, this is the place to be. We enjoyed this beautiful waterfront property so much, we skipped our plans to drive around and explore more of the area because we just wanted to soak in the water and the sky, with the moon on one end and the sunset on the other. Staring at the moon and its light reflecting off the water as we sat around the fire is a picture I hope to keep in my memory for a long time. This is the perfect place to clear the mind and the lungs Rob and Clarissa are very friendly, warm and they welcomed us with a tour of the property. The house is well-furnished, comfy, cozy, and very clean. Rob advised us in advance to make sure we had provisions when we arrived, as it is not a quick trip to town for a morning cup of joe. I can't wait to return.

This is a beautiful site and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Excellent property and host! It was great bringing our small dog. Kayaking and paddle boarding free on-site. Everything you need for water sports and for living like your home away from home included. Thoughtful and caring host.

Our stay was great and Rob and Clarissa were very welcoming!

I cannot give this property enough stars! They had absolutely everything a family could need to have the most relaxing yet activity-filled stay. The accomodations were spotless, the beds super comfortable, central air kept the place nice and cool, and the kitchen and bathroom were stocked with all we could need. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, pedal boat, bicycles, fishing, crabbing, yard games, and fire pit. The hosts are super nice people who make you feel totally at home. Though we do not have little kids, the place would be great for them as well, with a small pool, play house, and all sorts of toys. The bay water was warm and fairly shallow but not super mucky like some inlets can be. Cannot wait to go back next year!!!
