    Great location & views. Very clean. Easy check in. Host very responsive. Only improvement would be to repair/replace the stove/oven. It works but oven door broken & gets very hot.

    Enjoyed our stay at this peaceful waterfront home. Beautiful panorama of windows to appreciate the property from inside or outside. Across the canal are views of woods and beach so the home feels serene even though it’s not far out of town. Also last house at the end of a quiet road with a pond on one side. Saw otters, fox, osprey and deer. Fun swimming off the dock. Pleasant hike to another beach just 5 minutes away. Great place for playing board games, reading—can be as active or restful as you like. Liked watching boats and some big ships go by on the canal. Waterfront dining at nearby restaurants or stocked kitchen for those inspired to cook. Appreciated all of the little extras at the home. Excellent easy communication with hosts. Look forward to returning for a longer stay.

    We absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean and was set up so perfectly. We loved being able to have our boat and jetskis right at the dock. The owners met us and assisted us getting our boat and jetskis on the lift. The house had towels, linens, blankets as well as every kitchen utensil you need. Thank you Christine and Christian for an incredible stay!!!!

    The house was everything we needed for a get away. The site next to the canal and lily pond was idyllic and we even got to watch an osprey feeding her young hatchlings! The house itself is set up for entertaining, cooking, and chilling. I especially loved that there was not a tv in the main living area so we could unplug, watch the boats and birds while the girlfriends caught up. Really away from it all but just a few miles to downtown. We hope to go back one day.

    This house was perfect for our family of 5! Everything was comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was well stocked, and we enjoyed dinner cooked at home with local farm goods! We also enjoyed fishing from the dock. Can’t wait to come back some day!

    A very beautiful home on the C & D Canal.The home was very clean and beautiful, all Linens, pillows, towels were provided, which was very nice. We brought our new 22 foot pontoon boat over for a long weekend and found that at low tide, it was only about a foot to a foot and a half deep. Christine provided firewood and lighter fluid for our bonfire at night which was very nice. The only issue we had was we could not get the oven to work other than that everything was great. I would highly recommend this rental.

    We’ve stayed at roughly 15 properties along the upper Chesapeake over the last 20 years, and this might be our favorite of all the spots we’ve stayed at. Our stay was with six people for most of the week. Two adults and four children. My brother and his family came down for a night, giving us 10 for two days. We rented the main property and the adjoining apartment. I’d suggest, even for 6-8 people, renting both if they are available as it was great to spread out and not worry about other vacationers. The property was well kept with good furniture for a group of our size and a well stocked assortment of kitchen equipment if you’re making your own meals. Everything was as-advertised for beds and other amenities. The views and water were awsome. During low tide there is enough shore to swim, the dock gives a place to crab and fish, or just sit out and enjoy the sun. Large lawn and very private with a pond area next door. The difference maker for us was the little things that the hosts did to make this stay next-level. For instance, the fire pits didn’t just have logs in them day one, but also were “magically” (per my eight year old) refilled after fires. Christine was great with communication from start to finish and made sure we knew what was going on. They had a few issue with the air conditioners and a tractor that broke down at the dock, but we’re on-the-ball with getting those things fixed and telling us what was happening. Would stay again without hesitation.

    The house is as beautiful as it is in the listing pictures. The nest deck on top is really neat, and it allows you to watch all the large vessels go by the river-front property. This was one of the coolest houses I've been to, and it was very reasonably priced. Christine was incredibly kind and accommodating. We did not have a single issue. Hopefully I get to go back here one day.

    This is a great location overlooking the C&D canal, with a lovely pond flanking the property. It was the perfect place to host family members in town for a wedding. We rented the back apartment as well, which was cozy and comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and I appreciate their flexibilty as our dates changed as we solidified plans. I would stay here again without hesitation.
