My partner and I stayed for the weekend with our baby and another couple and had a wonderful time. The house was spotless and nice and cool inside when we arrived to check in on a hot July afternoon. The kitchen was well-equipped with what we needed to cook our meals and share them out on the deck looking at the river. The river view is stunning—we even saw a few bald eagles. All my communication with the host, Jess, was extremely pleasant and her replies were quick, informative, and helpful. I would definitely recommend this VRBO if you’re looking for a quiet weekend with friends or family. I hope to come back soon. Thank you!
This is our 3rd year in a row renting Jessica’s property. We truly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful backyard looking out to the bay! It has been a highlight staying here visiting for UD graduations. We hope to be back!
The property was great. Perfect deck and yard space to sit and enjoy the water view. Was a little bit of a process to get an Uber to go into Chesapeake City for food/drinks but it all worked out and was a lovely weekend!
