Synes godt om: Rengøring, overnatningsstedets tilstand og faciliteter
Booked this for Father’s Day weekend with my two kids. I think we were hoping for a kind of “dip your toes in” Chesapeake escape — something between Lake Anna and Ocean City. Saw “waterview” and figured maybe we’d land somewhere special. That wasn’t quite what we got.
The house itself is clean and quiet. No issues with check-in. The upstairs deck is the one defining feature — nice for sitting out at night. But beyond that, this felt more like a peaceful neighborhood retreat than a Bay experience. You’re near the water, sure — but there’s no beach, no boardwalk, and no direct access unless you go looking.
We eventually found one small patch of sand down the road — clearly managed by the HOA — that seemed to be the unofficial community access point. Just a tiny patch of sand and the open bay.
There were other small misses. The listing mentioned complimentary wine — but it was mysteriously not place there ahead of our visit. Host apologized but never made good. Additionally, was hoping for a guidebook with a list of local tips, something to help you unlock the Chesapeake; didn’t get even a suggestion of where to eat or fish. Meanwhile, the host could be described as over communicative — constant Vrbo pings morning and evening with reminders about check out, etc. Appreciated the overstated ‘welcome’ and enthusiasm but really killed the vibe at times.
Still, we made the most of it. Got crab up the road and used the fire pit for smores. Overall good weekend.
