Relaxed and comfortable
Away from the hustle and bustle of any city but close enough to get anything you need. Our stay was very relaxing and Hyrum and Lisa were the best hosts we have had so far... Will definitely look for them again if we are in the area again...

Cozy cottage!
This was a great little getaway! The property was very accurate to the listing, and everything was very clean and tidy. We cooked a bit at the house and it had all the pots/pans/utensils we needed. The beach across the street is quite nice, and it's a short drive to Calvert Cliffs State Park. Would definitely recommend this VRBO!

Host Communications par excellence
We enjoy having three generations of family spread throughout Calvert and St Mary’s counties since our own exodus out of MD so, the central location of this “Cozy Cottage with access to and partially obstructed views of the bay” really made a recent visit convenient. Without a doubt, what we appreciated the most were the proactive communications from and with the hosts. The hosts are responsive in a timely manner and it is apparent they work overtime to avoid issues. (If all hosts tried as hard as these hosts appear to AND everyone treated the houses we rent as well as we do our own homes, well, we’d all be closer to a perfect world!) We plan to stay here again and have already booked a return visit so that confidence should convey more than mere words …

Great getaway!
My wife and our two dogs really enjoyed the stay at the cozy cottage! Lisa and Hyrum were great host. They provided tons of information and were very helpful throughout our stay. The place was clean and had all the necessities we needed. We ventured out a lot to the beach across the road and found so many fossils. We would definitely comeback!

"Our quiet time away"
Many thanks to the hosts for our quiet time away. Home is very comfortable, quiet, and steps away to a private beach area where we enjoyed searching for beach treasures every day. We enjoyed sitting on the wrap around deck listening to the sounds of the waves. The hosts were always available if we had any questions. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Great place!
We all loved the house and amenities. The description of the home in Vrbo was accurate. The house is so cute, has lots of room, and the owners supplied some great snacks for us, as well as leaving some chocolates on our beds. They communicated with us regularly to be sure everything was okay and we were enjoying our stay. This home is very near everything we wanted to visit: lighthouses, Calvert Marine Museum, and beaches. There is also a nice beach almost directly across the street that we visited every day. We’ll definitely rent here again when visiting the area.

Nice little house in a great location, close to the water and a short drive to various hikes and activities. Owners were very responsive when a few issues arose with the house during our stay, and resolved them quickly.

Owners were very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the pictures of the property’s amenities were misleading and not updated. The private beach is across the main road in a gated area which needed a code to get into. The pictures lead you to believe the property is ON the beach. The pictures of the chairs overlooking the bay are not what you see! They rotten and broken. If you want to sit on the beach across the street from the house bring your own beach chairs! The house smelled musty, needs a better cleaning staff (we wiped down counter tops, dirty floor boards, light switches…etc), fans were covered in dust (not good for allergies), and the toilet in the master bedroom was wobbly (it needs to be bolted down). The beds were good with clean linens! Plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioners, body wash, toilet paper and paper towels! The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking supplies, coffee maker, toaster and microwave. Clean grill and grilling utensils. House was in a good location for sightseeing and had a nice wrap around porch that overlooked the wooded area.

Enjoyed the beach
There was a short walk from the cottage to the beach. The beach is a little narrow during high tide, but you could still walk along the edge. We enjoyed the privacy of the beach. Most of the time when we were on the beach, we did not see anyone else. We did find several shark's teeth on the beach; which was exciting for the adults and the kids. The cottage had plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the spacious porch/deck.
