Beautiful views and comfortable home

This place was perfect for a small friends getaway. The views on the lake were gorgeous and the hot tub was great. The host was extremely helpful and flexible - thank you! Would highly recommend.

We totally enjoyed our stay. Check in easy. We were in Maryland for a wedding, Total family members 4 adults, 2 children and 1 dog perfect accommodations for all of us. We used the hot tub, best part fishing, my grandson caught a nice size cat fish after that we all caught sunnies. Hopefully we can visit again, we had an awesome time. Thank you!

Great family space, waterfront A+

We had a great time. The dock is perfect for fishing and a water taxi picked us up to bring us to a local restaurant directly from the dock. The living area is large and an open layout. Perfect for a family gathering. TVs were places everywhere for watching the games!!!

Superb

We really enjoyed staying at Brian's place. The place was clean. The living space is bright and has very high ceiling. I wish I could live here forever. Location is wonderful and safe to walk around. I love that the house is right next to the water. I would highly recommend anyone to rent this house for a tranquil experience.

The views from the open concept living space were amazing to wake up to. The kitchen was also stocked with essentials including fresh coffee which we really appreciated! Thank you for letting us stay at your place. Cannot wait time return when it is even warmer.

Perryville waterfront house

Property was as described on listing. Nice quiet neighborhood. Short drive to shopping and restaurants. Two Maryland state parks within a 30 minute drive. Very nice updated house with a great deck and dock. Very comfortable and quiet weekend.

THEE PERFECT GET AWAY!!

For my birthday I took 7 of my girlfriends on a weekend getaway to this property for a relaxing good time. This house is amazing right on the water and the views are AMAZING!! We had such a great time we didn't leave the house. The property owner had great communication, we didn't want for anything. I am so grateful this place was available, it really was a fun relaxing time in a great location. I highly recommend this location and will definitely go back.

Perfect spot

Three friends and I spent a long weekend here. It was gorgeous! Literally "on the water" was such a treat. House was clean. Kitchen was easy to use. Views and sounds of the water (and geese) were so relaxing! Proximity to Havre de Grace was a plus. Brian was responsive to answer questions. Will definitely go back !!

This property has a beautiful view … but that is all..

While having a picture us view this house was the single dirtiest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Dust bugs and cobwebs everywhere. Broken amenities, fire hazards, crappy dirty furniture, and a listing that was not exactly accurate. The house is short, one bed that it advertises that we badly needed. The stairs to the water and the decking with expose nails are both dangerous and unsightly. The inside of the house looks as though it had not been dusted or vacuumed for months and months. The water is so hard and rusty that all of our hair and skin smelled like rusty water after getting out of the shower. The outside of the house outback is infested with wasps. The inside of the house has wasps water bugs, and other undesirable critters. The furniture is all dirty stained and smells bad. The steps in and out of the house are all a tripping hazard and would not pass code with the building inspector. The view is beautiful once again and the property location is beautiful however this homeowner needs to seriously work harder to manage his property. It could be fabulous with some Care.

Severe Health Risks and Unsanitary Conditions

Upon arrival, we discovered severe toxic gas fumes in the property, which posed a significant health risk to my family. Despite assurances from the owner that the issue was resolved, the fumes were pervasive and hazardous. Prior to booking, I read in the reviews that there were gas fumes and I specifically inquired about the remediation of the gas fumes. The owner assured me multiple times that the issue had been fully resolved. However, this was not the case, and the property was not safe for occupancy and my daughter was sick from the conditions for multiple days.

Property Needs Work

I’ll start first with the positive. Location is great. Neighbors are very nice. View is lovely Now negative. A quick summary - the AC broke and it took several days to fix (it was 86 in the house), the house was quite dirty after the cleaning service left (fans filled with soot, furniture had stains and burns), there was an awful smell of home heating oil in the bedrooms which gave all of us headaches (seems a tank was removed and never properly cleaned up), the sewer backed upon the property, the pots/pans need to be replaced, We spoke with the owner and property manager several times and offered them quite a bit of patience while we were there to remedy the situation. Eventual things got fixed - frankly we left the house cleaner and nicer than we received it. Now a few weeks after we left and multiple attempts with contacting the owner to offer us some return compensation for our poor stay - pure silence... Hence this long review. We could go on with more details but the system doesn't allow it.

This property looks amazing from the pictures however, the house needs some love. There are spiders and spiderwebs all over the inside of the house, mosquitoes coming out of the bathroom sink drains, and it needs a really good deep clean- as I scrubbed some walls and surfaces that were obviously dirty. It’s a shame because the location truly is amazing and we had a great time on the water. There is a smell of “gasoline” in the house, as other

Fun long weekend!

Great location! We loved the view , water access , and hot tub. The Tiki bar is a nice touch. The house is very bright and cheerful, with lots of natural light. The kitchen is well laid out, and we enjoyed cooking meals there. It’s a great house! We look forward to possibly returning sometime.

Kitchen is well stocked. The view of the Bay is great. Caught maybe 15 catfish off the pier over the course of a weekend, plus a white perch, a snapping turtle, plenty of bird watching, and even watched a beaver swim by.I wish there would've been a hose outback to hose and brush off the outdoor furniture and tiki bar every morning. A hose and brush back there would help make it a little more enjoyable/usable. And maybe a couple bug zappers :) The water in the house is very hard and smells/tastes of metal, not sure this can be helped, and we got used to it. Even in the hot tub, it's almost green, even though it was very heavily chlorinated. We still enjoyed it and warmed up in it as it was a rare chilly, rainy June weekend.Brian was very easy to work with, allowed us to check in an hour early, and was very quick to respond to questions. It may be time to replace the Queen mattress in the 2nd bedroom, as my 70 yr old parents, rolled to the center and felt stuck there.All in all, the house served us well, and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

I came for vacation, not to do housekeeping!

Pictures on the website are accurate. View is beautiful. Living area was very spacious.We sat on the deck early in the morning and late in the evening.Hot tub was nice.Check-in process was easy. Once inside the house, we were very surprised to find unmade beds with sheets on top that we needed to make, which after a 7 hour trip was not something I wanted to do.We were surprised to find that there were very few towels, especially with a hot tub and we were staying 3 nights. There were NO washcloths to be found. The towels were discolored, mis-matched and had some large stains on them. We decided to wash all of the towels before we used them.Be aware they do not supply bath soap, shampoo, conditioner or a hair dryer (although they did not say they had them on the listing, but they also did not say they DIDN’T supply them). They also only had 2 hand soaps at the sinks (for a 3 bathroom listing).The main bathroom did not even have a waste basket.I do not think the floors in the house had been vacuumed at all as there were actual piles of dirt. I did mention this to the owner and he did advise he would follow-up with the cleaners.The house had an abundance of cleaning products in every closet.I had to totally clean the entire coffee pot before use.The kitchen cabinets were also not very clean. It would have been nice to have some local recommendations.Then the request to wash and dry the sheets prior to leaving is beyond ridiculous. I wouldn’t book again.
