We loved our stay at this cottage! It was perfect for us. The adirondak chairs facing the bay were our go to in the morning and again at night. We watched ships and heron and osprey and enjoyed the breeze. We have a hectic life at home and had come across the country for a quick family event. The cottage was our haven. We love the view from almost every window. We didnt cook meals there, so the mini fridge was not a problem. The property was comfortable and very clean and had all that we needed. Megan was very responsive to all our communication. There is a wedding venue nearby, but it was blissfully not in use during our stay. I say that for the quiet that we enjoyed. The property outside is spacious, the porch is wonderful. We would recommend this lovely cottage.

My boyfriend and I came into town for my family reunion at Fort Smallwood Park. This was the most beautiful relaxing place. Place the beautiful sunrise in the east over the Bay was absolutely breathtaking and a great way to start our day. I will definitely be returning each year as my family has gatherings in Pasadena.

Nice view

My fiancé and I stayed for 3 nights. Upon our arrival we had a smooth check in. After inspecting the place we found an empty bag of chips under the sofa and noticed some tiles on the bathroom floor were cracked and moving but other than that the place was in good condition. The bed was awful and not comfortable and the stairs leading up to the bedroom were steep which we knew ahead of time by the photos. The communication from the host was good when we brought something’s to their attention. Overall the view and the outside amenities are what made our stay enjoyable.

Our 2nd time at Herons nest and it was just awesome. The kids loved the storybook look of the bedroom attic and i loved the comfy bed!!A great playground and area to play...water view with 2 bald eagles, a Heron and lots of ducks and geese!The pool was awesome and only 4' at the high part. Opening 12 to 8pm (wish it was a bit earlier) was a delight after a hot day of play.

Tiny House

This tiny house is cute and has a great view of the water! It’s peaceful aside of the noisy generator running at the wedding venue next door. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Floors had some piles of sand and appeared to be unswept. Some trash from the previous people was left laying around.

Great cabin in a perfect setting on Chesapeake Bay! The cabin is well appointed (except for a wonky can opener :-/ ). We SO enjoyed local walks, kayaking, as well as sitting in comfortable Adirondack chairs for hours at the water's edge! Thank you!

2nd Stay & definitely not our last!

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend last year and knew we had to bring our kids back this year. The location is amazing. The quiet and privacy can't be beat. We even took a quick trip into the city to check out the aquarium. The house is adorable and RIGHT on the water. You look out the living room window and feel as if you are on a boat! We enjoyed walking around the marina, checking out the boats, our boys spent hours digging on the beach, and we brought their bikes to ride as we walked up and down the quiet little road.It's the perfect place to go unplug and relax! We will be back.
