    Absolutely wonderful stay at a special property. My wife and I were on a getaway and this was a perfect place. The house and property were very cool, and the setting on the water was great gor kayaking, sitting on the dock, fishing, or enjoying the view while preparing dinner together.

    Old house with a lot of character and far removed which is what we were looking for on a vacation to get away. We loved the location.

    Overall the trip was a good experience for my family and I. I think the house could use some TLC, but overall it wasn't bad.

    We really enjoyed our stay! There are so many spaces to hang out - the sun room, deck, living room, dock, and great kitchen. The beds were comfortable, and the owners were responsive to our questions.

    The house was clean and everything we needed was provided. Almost every room has a view of the water and the sun porch and living rooms are very comfortable. We had a great time on the kayaks and mucking around the dock. We caught 10 blue crabs and a beautiful grouper as well. There were 7 of us and it was perfect for us. ( The Chesapeake does have stinging jellyfish this time of year. ) I would highly recommend this property.

    So much fun to stay in a 1917 farm house. Unfortunately didn’t appear haunted but we did have a mouse visit last night. We probably should have anticipated that in a farm house & put our snacks away better. Loved the view, the hot tub, firepit, the very comfortable beds, the veranda/sunroom, etc. We would’ve made use of the kayaks had the weekend not been a total rainout. We did make good use of the rain boots for a beautiful walk. Perfect getaway location.

    Great location close to Windmill point marina for bigger boats. We had a great time crabbing from the dock and kayaking out to the sandbar to visit the rays. Easy drive into Whitestone and Kilmarnock.

    Older farm house in good condition with modern amenities. Quiet, private location for a relaxing week away. Only wish was to know the channel route out to the big water. The neighbor was kind enough to show us the route. Sweet dock for the boat and fishing!

    We rented this house for two families and it was perfect! The house was beautiful, beds were comfortable and the location was very nice. We enjoyed our stay. The home owners were very responsive to any questions or issues we had. I would recommend for anyone to stay here.
