Making Memories

Had a wonderful three days at Fishing Cove. The house was very well appointed, clean and perfect for our group of 14 high school friends celebrating our 77th birthday year. Beautiful sunrise over the water.

Family vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Fishing Cove, everyone enjoyed the pool. The pool was well taken care of. Location was very peaceful and quiet. Bedrooms were spacious and located apart from each other. We enjoyed sitting outside on the big deck with awning to block midday sun.

Great relaxing spot!

We were a group of siblings and some children celebrating Thanksgiving together in this lovely and well kept home. The communication with Virginia was great. She was very receptive of our needs. The rooms were very spacious. The house clean and well equipped. We would love to return during warm days to be able to enjoy the pool, fishing in the backyard and more walks. We recommend this home!

Wonderful

Our family group of age 3 to 75 had a wonderful time at the house. Everything was just as described in the listing. Everyone especially enjoyed the pool and deck area. The beds were comfortable and it was fabulous to have 6 bathrooms for our group. The only issue we had was the bugs. Be sure to bring your insect repellant!

Delightful Thanksgiving Weekend

This home was just right for our 22 member family. The deck was a delightful place to relax in the early morning sun and the kids devised so many games to play there throughout the day. It is a bird watchers paradise in the early mornings and evenings. The board walk to the water was so peaceful and quiet each morning. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. The house accommodated our two folks with disabilities -the lift and so many first floor bedrooms were accessible and easy to use. The beds were great throughout and plenty of bathrooms. Ginger, the owner, was so responsive and generous. It was an easy house to live in and to enjoy everyone being together. Thank you

This was an absolutely perfect option for celebrating my mom’s birthday. She and my dad are older and have accessibility needs, so having first floor living and bedrooms, plus an elevator up to the main floor from the driveway, made this trip possible. The location is stunning, with a view of the water from most of the house, gorgeous forest providing privacy, and everything was clean and very well maintained. Our dog was incredibly happy to explore the yard and dock, and we were grateful to be able to bring her along. The host was attentive and quickly responded to any questions (we couldn’t find the elevator key when we first arrived, and she helped us within a matter of minutes!) We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with either older family members or a larger gathering (we had a smaller group but easily could have fit twice as many guests!) Thanks so much for such a wonderful experience.

If I could give zero stars I would. Do not stay here. The septic system broke and the owner refuses to refund our money despite ruining our whole vacation. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with VRBO.

Beautiful setting, fun for kids

Great family getaway with plenty of activities for the kids. We caught a ton of crabs off the dock and were able to cook them. The pool is a great size, and the view from sitting on the pool deck is amazing. Highly recommended for a family looking for a quiet place to stay that will keep kids entertained.

We loved our stay in Cambridge! Such a peaceful, quiet location but also convenient to town. My kids lived in the pool, and I’d recommend little water shoes as the lining is textured and chewed up their feet a bit. The house is tidy, but lived in, which is perfect for us as we travel with 6 kids 8 and under. We started and ended each day at the dock, which is secluded from the bustle of boats and incredibly quiet and serene. Overall, it was a great week. Check in was easy, no issues with the WiFi, easy trash removal, and very simple check out instructions. It’s also worth noting (because I’m not sure it’s in the description), there are several cots tucked into a few of the bedroom closets, making sharing rooms with littles incredibly easy. On another note, the description states there is a high chair, so we didn’t pack one, and we were never able to track it down, so be sure to bring one if you have smaller kiddos!

Repeat customer -- Wonderul multi-generation family gathering

Exactly what we needed for our multi-generation family gathering, and had stayed there a few years prior. May stay again in the future. Great location, beautiful, remote setting with private dock, only a few minutes from open water. Comfortably accommodated great-grandparents, infants, and everyone in between. Generally well-appointed and supplied -- just bring food and a swimsuit! Had a few maintenance items, but owner/manager Ginger was extremely responsive.

Outstanding location. Peaceful,quiet lovely view House needs to be freshened up

Loved the house and location. Beautiful view and so peaceful. Enjoyed watching the birds and crabbing from the dock. Plenty of space for our family. Pool and deck were lovely. Great seating outside and loved the grill! Only complaints- house needs painting, new sofas and new mattress in the master upstairs. Fishing Cove was neat, tidy and clean. Our family agreed that we would love to return.

Lovely spot for a gathering of friends!

Our book group (9 women) spent a delightful two nights at Fishing Cove House. The house easily accommodated the 9 of us with its variety of sleeping options, and enough bathrooms for minimal sharing. The house is very well equipped (new kitchen and appliances) with spaces for large and small group gatherings as well as quiet corners for individual reading. The location of the house is quiet and private, with great outdoor space with ample seating and lovely water views. All in all a very comfortable place in easy access (2 hours) from Washington DC.

Best week of the year

Very Happy with the week. Weather could have been cooler. A railing to get out of pool would be nice. Better TV's would be nice but not having TV for a week was great too. We are thinking of doing it again next year.

August get away

Our group of 15 had a great week at Fishing Cove. We were out kayaking every day - sometimes a bit of a challenge to launch depending on the water level. There wasn’t any boat traffic so even our beginners could kayak as far as they could paddle. We had a wonderful time playing in the pool and watching the birds and encountered lots of frogs and salamanders. A great time was had by all. Also - having 2 refrigerators was a real bonus!
