    This is our second time staying at this property and we had just as much fun as the first time! This is truly the perfect house for families with kids. Between the backyard, game shed, beach access and creek, there is so much to do. Beautiful home and grounds. We hope to be back again next year!

    The house is wonderful. The hosts are fabulous. We had a small family and friends gathering for my son's graduation from college while we were there that was perfect largely due to the many indoor and outdoor activities provided by the hosts at the Hideaway. The hosts couldn't be nicer or more helpful and communicative beginning even before we rented the house and throughout our stay even letting us know about a newly scheduled opportunity in the area that they thought we might find interesting. We highly recommend the Hideaway.

    Our family enjoyed our stay in this clean and comfortable cottage! The host was available to answer questions and the home was very well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Despite the rainy weather there was plenty of things for the kids to do. The back yard was beautifully landscaped with plenty of places to relax and enjoy nature! We will definitely return!

    Jocelyn was an amazing host. She went above and beyond. I've never experienced such hospitality before. Her home and property is also beautiful and well maintained. We felt very at home.We used the house for a 30 person, Micro Wedding. Jocelyn was accommodating for where we wanted to put her arbor arch, she made sure we had an extra trash pick up the day of the event, she also arranged a late checkout so we could relax and enjoy the property after packing up our tables and decorations.We can't imagine a better place and look forward to returning for our next vacation.

    The property was very clean and well-stocked. Beds were comfortable and pictures matched reality. Jocelyn was so kind to leave us ingredients for smores and Easter eggs for my kids to have a hunt in the backyard. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and hope to make it back again some time!

    the house was perfect! Jocelyn was a terrific host. She provided a welcome basket with cookies, materials for Smores. there are games, activities, beach toys, even bikes! The kitchen and entire house are well-appointed with absolutely everything you mighty need for a nice stay. Adorable interior decorating. Everything from bath towels to cookware are quite nice! The location is peaceful and quiet but you can hear the waves on the water from the open windows. Backyard had everything needed for family entertaining. We will definitely come back! Check in and check out were easy and flexible processes.

    Wonderful and friendly host, beautiful, impeccably-maintained, and well stocked home. Get your fishing license, read up on crabbing laws, and have fun! We found sea glass, decent-sized male crabs, and caught a flounder.

    Our Texas family loved our stay at Hays Beach hideaway! The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need. Just a short walk (60 seconds) to the beach and we were crabbing and enjoying the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen! Owner was very responsive and offered information about the area. Family enjoyed the bicycles, yard games, beach supplies, crab equipment, kayaks, and very comfortable beds. Home was very nicely decorated inside and out and clean and comfortable. A most enjoyable stay we will be back!

    We had a great vacation at Hideaway! The house is so cozy and beautifully decorated. It was clean and fully stocked with supplies. There are so many amenities that we didn’t have time to use them all! (Kayaks, paddle board, game shed, crabbing, fire pits, pizza oven…) The owners have thought of everything you’d need or want, plus more! We loved the quiet beach and how close it is to the house. We can’t wait to return again!

    We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway in Hays Beach. We were coming up to see our 93yr old Grandmother who lives about 45 minutes away. Our families rented two homes in the area and were able to enjoy our time with three generations that aren’t able to see each other often. The home was exactly as shown, perfectly decorated and incredibly well stocked! We’d absolutely come back!

    We are not strangers to the area, my wife having grown up in the area, but each time we stay on the Chesapeake we feel at home. The Hideaway is so nice that you don't want to go back your actual home! It is furnished as if it is a year-round residence, no cheap or mismatched furniture and appliances. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen is has everything you need and it works. The yard and amenities are top notch. If you enjoy bird watching, sit in the back yard and take in the bird activity over Deep Creek and its marshes. There are ample kayaking opportunities. We are looking forward to returning to the Hideaway

    Not my first rental in the Scotland area and was not disappointed! Jocelyn was communicative and kind and the house was lovely, cozy and clean. The house wasn't 100% ready at check-in, but she gave us advance notice and as it happened, we were running behind anyway. The property is well equipped, steps from the beach, has a beautiful backyard for warmer months, and was a great size for two couples and an infant on a winter retreat.Our only complaints were the tap water (very smelly and not pleasant to shower in, much less to drink - definitely bring your own bottled water), the lack of access to the game shed in the winter (the photos did not imply that this was a seasonal offering - maybe our mistake?) and the lack of storage in the kitchen. The owners have tons of food, kitchen equipment, and a huge selection of platters and dishware available, which seems like a perk until you try to fit your groceries somewhere. The small amount of counter space is also chock-full of decor (not unlike the rest of the house), so with the four of us cooking three meals a day we had to keep most of our food in the laundry area. For a longer trip, this would have been a bigger issue, but a small nuisance in comparison to everything else about this lovely home. Overall, the Hideaway clearly takes hospitality seriously, has a good cleaning crew and a spectacular location. We hope to visit again someday!

    Wonderful house in an amazing, remote location. Just footsteps to a sublime, quiet beach. Ideal for families looking to get away from the city for a break and to enjoy nature. House very thoughtfully and creatively decorated, full of charm, and also practical and well-equipped. Wonderful garden and back porch. Easily merits 5/5!

    This rental property is a hidden gem! Perfectly situated near a crabbing creek (we caught a lot of blue crabs), it's ideal for family adventures. As parents with small children, we found it to be one of the best rentals we've stayed in. The thoughtful hosts have stocked the place exceptionally well - from coffee to cookware and toiletries. Everything we needed was at our fingertips, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The backyard is a standout feature, with a fire pit for cozy evenings. Highly recommended for families looking for a well-equipped, convenient, and enjoyable getaway!
