"Host very welcoming, friendly and supportive if anything was needed. Great service "

"Best view in Captains Cove!! Highly recommend this well appointed house."

"Fantastic house! House was super-clean, bedrooms were all good size, kitchen was well-equipped - there weren’t any tools you’d need for cooking that it didn’t already have, plus plenty of dishes, glasses and silverware. The house is super-well made. If you were in a bedroom, you barely heard any noise from the main living area. Also, loved the house’s side room. Was great for game night and large group dinners- and was super soundproof from the rest of the house. All beds and furniture were in great condition and comfortable. Love the quiet road it was on and the views, especially at sunset. Love the back deck and private pier. Would definitely return again. "

"This was the best vacation we have ever had. Peaceful. Beautiful. Everything we want in a relaxing trip. Will definitely stay here again!"

"Beautiful home with all the amenties. We utilized the boat dock, hot tub, kayaks, and game room. Fully equipt large kitchen. Had an amazing time. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge was a quick 20 min drive. Bonus- Our dogs enjoyed being able to be a part of the vaction!"

"Robert’s retreat was new and an awesome place to stay. We weren’t thrilled with management company, we extended our stay and they locked us out and did not answer phone or emails for the whole entire week. "

"We booked this property for the 2025 Pony Swim. All 7 of us had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out. This seems like a newer property and was lacking a few things based on other reviews so we came prepared. Overall we found plenty of supplies to get us by throughout the week. It’s far enough away from the hustle and bustle to provide ample peace and quiet but still close enough that we made it back to the island every morning. "

"The house and development were as described, but cleanliness was a major issue. Floors hadn’t been mopped, with 5–10 large dead bugs in plain sight. The couch was covered in pet hair, crumbs were under the cushions, and the counters had a sticky tan liquid—likely old beer—that appeared to have been sitting for days. Trash cans inside also contained a similar brown liquid.While hosing down the bins, we discovered a large hornet’s nest on the front porch. An adult was stung—thankfully not our two-year-old.We checked in at 4:15 PM on July 3rd and noticed the issues quickly. The property manager offered to send someone, but we assumed they were minor. After unpacking, we realized the problems were more serious. With no one available that evening, we spent the first night cleaning with supplies we purchased.We heard back the morning of July 4th, but no one was sent due to the holiday. On the third day, one of the owners reached out with an accusatory tone, claiming her inspection photos showed no issues and implying we caused the mess. We declined help since we were out and had already cleaned. Despite all this, she refused to refund the cleaning fee—even though we had to pay out of pocket and lost the first night of our stay cleaning. Poor communication and an unnecessarily combative tone from the owner."

"We had a pleasant stay. The yard was in need of being cleaned up, but over all it was a nice place. We would stay there again."
