We had a great stay at this vacation home. From the time we booked the vacation, communication with the host, John, was great. He is very responsive.The home exceeded our expectations.

Refreshing getaway

Our family had the best time at this property! The hosts were so kind and accommodating and the home with a pool and view could not have been better! Jason took care of the property during the day, and he was so informative, helpful, and made the best camp fires! Will definitely visit again when we can!

Christmas on Kent Island

Our host Jon was so nice, checked in with us to make sure all was good, and it was. He had the place decorated for Christmas and even had a tree - we appreciated it very much since we were not home for Christmas. Beautiful setting on Cox creek. The guest house was well maintained and fully equipped kitchen. Very Comfortable beds and bedding which we find unique for VRBOs.

USNA Commissioning Weekend

Our family flew in from Texas for USNA Commissioning and we could not have been happier with this property. The home was comfortable and well appointed and our family of 10 was able to all stay together. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the gorgeous grounds. We were a short 15-20 min drive to Annapolis, but were far enough away to avoid the busy downtown during Commissioning Week. John was helpful and communicative and was extremely helpful.

FANTASTIC host, house and location

We have had a yearly trip with family and friends for 34 years and have rented many places in and around Kent Island.. This is the one we will definitely repeat! Between the pool, the dockside, the kayaks, the house and the local amenities - there was always something for every person's taste at the time. The location is easy to get to, close to the boat ramp and has easily navigable water to the dock. The host was very accommodating and helpful to the extreme. He went out of his way to make us feel at home and welcome. Everything was exactly as described and the setup allowed us to bring virtually nothing to support a week of cooking and good times.

Weekend Getaway

Had a great time staying here with my friends! We had not seen each other in a long time so it was great having such a large space to spread out in. The outdoor spaces were amazing with the pool and hot tub. The fire pit was a major bonus too! We loved having enough space inside to spread out too. We were looking for a great place to stay and definetely found it in this property. The one thing we wish we would have noticed sooner was that we were in the guest house connected to a main house that had the owners in it, but it did not hinder anything about our stay. They were very nice owners and were very courteous, even building a fire for us to roast s'mores. Can not wait to come back again in the future!

The reviews don't lie!

I read almost all of the reviews on this property and thought wow, could it really be that nice? Well, it is. When our kids were smaller, we took vacations to the beach as they got older, they just wanted to go somewhere quiet, fish and relax. John's place was perfect for us. The listing is very accurate, and John was wonderful to work with and very responsive to my questions. The property is just beautiful and peaceful. Shopping and lots of great restaurants are all very close by. I am quite certain we will visit again!
