Quaint
We stayed for a motorcross race (son was racing). We didnt do much at the house. Its nestled back in a quiet point on the water. Easy commute to and from to the grocery/simple shopping stores. Starbucks right down the street for you coffee lovers. The interior decor is simple and antique.

Disappointing stay
We booked the property because of the waterfront location and amenities offered. The home is located in a central spot where there are several large grocery stores and other shops within 10 minutes drive. We also visited the Naval Air Museum which was great. At the time of booking, we knew it’s an old home but since it has good reviews, we decided to give it a try. When we first walked in, you could feel the age of the house. It is dark and has a musty smell. Upstairs only has window units but the curtains are not properly fitted so you have to move the curtains out of the way so it doesn’t block the vents. Also, one of the larger bedrooms is connected to the game room. You have to pass the game room where the daybed is to get to the bedroom. I didn’t like that due to the lack of privacy. The furnitures, mattresses, beddings and kitchen items all need replacing due to poor conditions. Carpet upstairs needs to be replaced as they have been worn thin. Kitchen cabinets need to be gutted because they are just disgusting (excuse my word choice, but I don’t know which other word that would best describe the situation.). Water pressure isn’t consistent in the bathrooms. The basement is dark and dingy. The stairs leaves little head space so it’s a hazard. We all hit our heads even though we knew to dock. Outdoor space could also use some care. The stairs to the dock is steep and the bushes could use some trimming. Outdoor grill is rusted be replaced or repaired.

Has potential...
I did not realize that both bathrooms are on the first floor of the house, most of the beds are on the second floor. 2nd floor seems to be converted attic space and has window AC units that are very loud (but worked well to keep the space cool when it was 90+ degrees out) and my kids found it to be very creepy up there (so did I, but I didn't tell them until afterwards). Whole house smelled musty and moldy. Linens were very old and the beds were not particularly comfortable. Not much furniture in the family room area (2 loveseats). Dining room and kitchen were huge. Bathrooms were fine, although the water was a trickle in the one bathroom sink. I think this would be fine for a fishing trip as advertised, but if you have little kids, the set up isn't good. It has so much potential, if some furniture was upgraded, walls painted, little decorating. The outdoor space was nice, kayaks, dock, view, but could be even better if the trees at the end of the property were cut so you could see the bay from the house and a patio installed and some nice landscaping. We never even saw the ping pong, pool table. We were planning to use the bikes, but the house wasn't really in a neighborhood and we would have been biking on a fairy busy street with the kids. Overall, this place has a lot of potential, but fell short.

Relaxing Stay
The house was nice and the property is spacious. Great views from the dining room table. A little steep heading down to the dock but not terrible. Very private setting, but also only 5 mins away from pretty much anything you could need. Some nice restaurants just across the bridge in Solomons Island. Would love to return in warmer weather to take advantage of the kayaks and water.

Like Going to Grandma's House
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at this cozy house, a little piece of history on the Patuxent River with serene water views. The connected rooms, bed configurations (and foosball table!) upstairs were a good set up for family with children; grandparents were able to have more privacy on the main floor. The house is old but we like that. It is clearly well-loved, and has much more character than most newer, sleeker properties. For one, I have certainly never stayed in a rental house with a real player piano. (We did have to make an effort to keep the kids from playing with that fragile antique!) We loved our visit and hope to have occasion to return.

Perfect Private Peninsula
We had a great stay during Thanksgiving, enjoying the private waterfront yard, and close proximity to food and activities. We stayed with our pup who loved the yard and being able to explore the dock and kayak in the river. The kitchen worked great for cooking our Thanksgiving meal, and the rustic charm interior made the home feel cozy and warm for the holiday. We can’t wait to return in the future!

Fantastic property and house!
Great stay, beautiful house, yard and porch. Plenty to do, could have spent the whole trip at the house! We loved the player piano but please be careful with the rolls, a lot had rips and are very delicate! Beautiful area to kayak and a nice point to wave at your family as they paddle away. My husband took his canoe from the house and met us at Myrtle Point beach! Caught tons of perch. Notes: You have to walk through the foosball bedroom to get to the queen w/ twin bedroom. Also note that all three upstairs bedrooms have to share the first floor bathroom right at the bottom of the stairs. Not an issue for us! This house shares the dock/boats with another rental house. Was a bummer when we planned to go kayking and they had taken all the kayaks. Watch out for traffic going over the solomon bridge. I think this was unusual but it took us 30 minutes to get to the house from the main intersection in California. But very minor notes on what I would consider a perfect weekend get away!

Charming Old House
We really enjoyed our stay at this property while visiting the area for Christmas. This older home with lots of charm was like spending the night at Grandma's house. We really liked that the interior was kept as original as possible with lots of wood and the antique appliances worked well. The waterfront property has great views and the we really appreciated the Christmas decorations that made it feel like home. We also enjoyed playing Christmas music on the 1920s player piano. The dining area was very spacious and great for Christmas dinner. We enjoyed playing the available games since we were inside a lot with the low teens temperatures outside. With a few minor improvements, I would consider this property perfect although none of these would prevent us from renting the property again. The HVAC struggled to keep up with the abnormally cold weather on the 1st floor. This could have been alleviated if the fireplace had been working (or better yet, a gas fireplace) One of the bathroom sinks had low water pressure. The seating while plentiful could be more comfortable.

The location is a lovely spot right on the water front with beautiful views and plenty of space for 8 to sleep comfortably. Be sure to check with the host regarding kitchen supplies before you come. There are two ovens but there werent enough baking pans for our needs. Silverware & cooking utensils were in short supply. Heat and AC are regulated by a Google Nest Thermostat. The house was chilly when we arrived in November and we were not up with the times and that type of thermostat. As a result it took awhile unitl we got warmed up.

We needed a place to stay for the weekend with family and friends coming from three different places. This was the perfect house with a completely isolated backyard.

Extended Wedding Weekend
We visited the area for a nearby wedding and really enjoyed the house! It was very clean and close to grocery stores, etc which made stocking up easy. Comfy beds, plenty of room, and lots of charm! At the suggestion of another visitor we spent a morning at Sotterly Plantation and would highly recommend it if you're a history buff - a fascinating look at the area's rich history. If we were able to stay longer I would have researched the sailboat rental. I look forward to the possibility of visiting this beautiful area again in the future when we can spend more time!

Wow property!
The house is beautifully set atop a hill forming its own peninsula. The grounds are well maintained and the gazebo outback is great for viewing the river. While the house is historic, it is charming, and some updates have been made. Kitchen was well stocked with all the items needed to prepare a meal . There is no door for privacy between two sleeping areas up stairs, and both bathrooms are downstairs. Two bedrooms are completely private with great views. We had a terrific weekend. It was perfect for our needs.

Ideal Location
I booked this property for a family get away and it “ticked” most of the boxes necessary for this outing. The house is older but there seem to be improvements being made. Overall, it was good for our needs. More than adequate kitchen space, table space, and internet worked well. I do have 2 negative comments and while they didn’t affect our stay I do feel I need to be upfront. First, while it advertises 2 bathrooms you should note that both bathrooms are on the 1st floor while the bulk of the sleeping spaces are upstairs. Secondly, there was a mixed message (Evolve vs Owner/Manager) about the check out process with linens. This property afforded my family to gather together, relax, and just enjoy being together.
