Great visit
Nice house for large families. I recommend bringing fans for the upstairs bedrooms in the Summer since the upstairs doesn’t cool well and can be warm. I also recommend bottled waters since the house is on well water and the sulfur content is strong.

Good spot on water
House was clean and well stocked. There is a sort if sulfur smell that comes from faucets upstairs but seemed to go away eventually, guessing the pipes just dont get much use.

House ok, Not Worth the Nightly Rate
Pros:
1. The kitchen was well stocked.
2. The rooms were clean (although the sliding back door was not clean and shower stall doors were very streaked).
3. The dock was nice (but loud traffic noise, see below).
4. The bath towels were nice.
Cons:
1. The house is next to a highway. The traffic noise was extremely loud during the day.
2 The water pressure in the showers was low.
3. There were ants in the bathroom.
4. There were rings in the toilets.
5. There were no overhead lights in the bedrooms.
6. The water is very sulfurous especially in the bathrooms. We ended up bringing in drinking water and water for brushing our teeth.
7. The beds were fine but the bed linens, pillows and curtains were of low quality.
8. The dishwasher very dirty- we cleaned the filter.
9. The boats (it was stated you could rent) were in really bad shape.
Don’t rent this house expecting an idyllic waterfront experience- the traffic is LOUD.
The house is ok, but nowhere near acceptable for the price I paid.
This was our personal experience, I have pictures of everything I’ve written about here.

Great Place to Stay
Our family had a great stay. This is a new house and is very well stocked. It has a cupboard with spices and good oil and vinegar and another cupboard with coffee, sugar, and creamer. There’s a good selection of pots and pans and plenty of garbage bags, tp, and tissue. It has kayaks, a basketball and hoop, and some good board games. The manager of the property is very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this rental, and hope to return soon!

Perfect location with lots to do!
We had a great experience and Melissa (the host) is very accomodating. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a newly built home with lots to do. Love the fact that the house is on a dead end drive so you have zero traffic on the street. We will definitely be back.

Exactly What We Needed
We needed a large home with several bedrooms to accommodate a family group of 3 adult couples, 3 children and a single adult. We were all attending a wedding in the area and there weren’t many homes that met our criteria so we were very happy to find this one. The property manager was very kind, responsive and accommodating and even let us arrive several hours early for check-in. The location was great, super close to Solomon’s Island and to the food and stores in California. Also a very easy drive to Leonardtown. I would definitely recommend it to any other large groups (especially those with small kids) looking to stay together in the area.
