This is a great getaway . The regret is it was too short . We will look forward to staying here over and over and over !The water and nature are a remedy to almost everything .
We love staying at this comfortable and spacious beachfront property. It was our second time here. Alicia is wonderful to deal with. The views from most every room are spectacular. The kitchen is big for cooking family meals and has all the equipment you will need. The bedrooms and living areas are comfortable and welcoming. The shower in the master bath has the best view ever! Our main activity is fossil hunting and the kids and adults collectively found over 50 (mostly tiny) teeth in two days. You can walk a good distance on the beach at low tide. It's truly a beautiful location. There's also a fishing pier that's fun for the kids. We had a terrible weather weekend, unfortunately, but had quite a show watching the Chesapeake tossing and turning with big waves. Despite the weather, we still made a drive to Solomon's to visit the Calvert Marine Museum, which we also love. This house is quite a find and we look forward to renting it again.
Great private beach, very close. Quiet evenings and the view is stunning.
Beautiful location, huge views. We didn’t want to leave.
My wife, daughter, and I enjoyed this beautiful home with an absolutely stunning view of the bay! The house as well, appointed, convenient and comfortable, and we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend getaway
Peaceful stay with beautiful views and a very responsive host. We enjoyed the property and put it on our list of places that we wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.
The whole family had a great time spending spring break in port republic. The house was amazing; the beach was incredible, and the nearby towns provided a perfect place to relax. We will be back again, hopefully very soon! Thank you for your hospitality.
What a magical weekend! Just as listed - beds were comfy. Kitchen was well equipped from baking to roasting. Wifi signal was strong enough for Minecraft matches for the boys. But the views of the bay and the endless beach were the real stars. our dogs loved the beach and slept well after all the fresh air. Found a few teeth, built a fort, had some mores at the fire pit. Can’t say enough - and can’t wait to return!
It was an easy rental experience .
We had the pleasure of spending our Thanksgiving at this lovely home. It was so relaxing and enjoyable. The home is well appointed, cozy yet roomy, clean, and well kept. We had everything we could possibly need to prepare and cook our Thanksgiving meal. The views from the home of the bay are absolutely breathtaking. We had nice walks on the beach and were successful in our hunt for shark teeth, ray teeth, and unique sea shells- a big hit with my kids.We felt immediately at home there and the atmosphere of relaxed intimacy was perfect.
A great place to relax and enjoy the water and the peaceful area. Alicia, the host, was always easy to reach for questions and she has decorated the home with wonderful art.
I hate to leave a good reveiw because I want to keep it a secret! My family and I had the best time at this Magical Bay house. We did not leave the whole weekend. The house was very clean and cozy, it felt like home. The veiws are amazing, it was so quiet and peaceful! We spent hours and hour on the beach finding shark teeth, amazing fishing on the pier. We can not wait to come back. I will be booking many future trips here! Alicia was a wonderful host!
Alicia, our host, was amazing! Very helpful and attentive. The communication was above and beyond! 3
Wonderful location and views.
We had so much fun at this property. The views and beach are spectacular. We walked along the beach and found fossils and even a few sharks teeth! The house is spacious and comfortable and everything is well stocked. The owner was a delight to work with. Our grandkids had an absolute blast. We will be back for sure!
Great home, great location! Beautiful view of the bay! The perfect relaxing vacation for our family. The home was very nice with plenty of room and had everything we needed. We would stay there again!
Not only was the location gorgeous but the home was very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed grilling, swimming, long walks on the beach and nearby trails, kayaking, fishing off the pier, and getting delicious carry out from Jerry’s Seafood. Most of all though, we really enjoyed the long weekend of quality time with family in such a beautiful setting. I could not recommend this place more. And the host, Alicia, was very responsive and helpful. Already looking forward to going back... excited to see other seasons.
We visited for the first time in 2019. We finally were able to come back again. We love the house! It’s so familiar now and just feels like home away from home. Neighbors are so nice. We were also blessed with a fireworks show! So happy to have been apart of that! Definitely a favorite place of ours.
The only negative thing I can say is that we didn’t stay long enough. I wish we had booked this home for a longer stay. We know without a doubt that we will return. The home is gorgeous, the location is perfect, the accommodations were comfortable and the owner was super easy to work with and contact. I’m extremely thankful for our time spent here. We’ve made memories that we will treasure forever.
