Check-in was super easy, which was a great start. Traci was even nice enough to let us know it was available earlier than expected. The location is absolutely amazing…right on the bay, with beautiful views day and night. We really enjoyed sitting outside, fishing and soaking it all in. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for a short stay. There are a plethora of games to play with the kids also. It was peaceful, relaxing, and a perfect little getaway spot. Can’t wait to return!

This is the second time my friends and our dogs have stayed here. We absolutely LOVE the time we get to be out of the city to relax, swim, drink, and watch our dogs enjoy country/water life. EB is a great host and is always so accommodating and communicative. We can’t wait until next summer!

Great spot!

This house is great! Right on the water, quiet neighborhood, big house with lots of space! Beds were comfortable, beautiful views of the water even from inside the house. Host communicated everything you would ever need to know clearly in email ahead of check-in and printed at the house- very good communication! We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful location

It was a wonderful location with a gorgeous view. There was plenty of space for all 13 of us but the house does need some updating. The biggest addition to the property that I would recommend would be a dock. The host was very nice and accommodating.

Lovely family get-together

We enjoyed our second stay at this beautiful house on the bay. We particularly enjoyed watching the bald eagles fishing in front of the house and seeing the sun and moon rising over the water. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and yet big enough tables for everyone to sit down as a family. Thank you for the memories.

Beautiful home and property. Was quite lovely. Quiet, peaceful, exceptionally welcoming. Host was wonderful. Enjoyed the views inside and out. We were boating swimming fishing and soaking up the sunshine. Enjoyed docking up at the bars&restaurants nearby. Would’ve loved to have stayed longer. Short but incredibly sweet :)

Great Family Time!

Three generations from PA, CO and VT all converged on the "Top of the Chesapeake" and had a lovely time. This is a stellar place for bird watching since it's between a creek and the upper Bay ("river".) Kayaks were a hit with 12 year olds and their parents. The owner's very reasonable rules and guidelines were so easy and he was available for help. Highly recommend this place!

Great Fall Stay by the River!

My husband and I come to the area at least once a year. This year our family stayed for the weekend and he and I spent 2 days alone. The house was amazing, campfire, cooking together, time spent in North East. Lots of good conversations and laughter! Our 2 year old grandson said "I had fun.... at river house!" We would stay at this house again. Thanks E.B. for making it a wonderful stay.

Beautiful home in serene location

Cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful home. Location on the water is scenic and relaxing. Floor plan is amazing for a large group upstairs and down. Home is outfitted with every necessity. Such a nice touch to have a lit Christmas tree awaiting us. Our adult children have already requested a redo here for next year. Grateful for wonderful memories made.

Great location for our family gathering

My 3-generation family of 9 had a great time overall at this house. It is roomy, comfortable, and well-stocked with almost everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The owner’s helpful suggestion of a fresh crab meat source gave us the opportunity to have amazing homemade crab cakes for several dinners. The four under-10 kids in our family had lots of fun in the nicely-shallow water and little beach at the house, and we all enjoyed the quiet surroundings, beautiful views, and shorebirds. The only reason for the loss of a star in my opinion was the condition of the deck surface: we did not realize until my young grandson had gotten a painful splinter that the deck should not really be walked on barefoot.

Down by the (Chesapeake) Bay!

"Oh, down in Chesapeake Catching rock around fishing creek The soft-shell crabs play hide and seek Down in Chesapeake." We LOVE the Chesapeake area and have stayed up and down the bay, mostly midway and lower. This area on the upper bay is so close to Philadelphia and, although there are tourists around like us, it doesn't feel touristy unless you go into North East, downtown (which is still worth eating a meal or getting ice cream in that cute little town)! Our stay felt private, and we had plenty of room for the maximum amount of people. The view and the sunrise are amazing! Although I struggle with beds in vacay spots, my husband and I LOVED the mattress on the bed in the first floor master bedroom. The house is homey, and it is laid out well so that we could all be in the same room. We had all the pots, pans and grill equipment we needed to cook several meals. E.B. is congenial, and it was easy to work with him and get into the home. We had a minor issue, and he responded immediately! We look forward to returning to our next stay...down by the bay! :) Thanks, E.B.!

Beautiful location. Excellent accommodations. Very clean and well equipped. The only downside would be all the stones that are on the beach but if you bring beach shoes, you can get past that then it’s a Sandy beach all the way out. We would definitely come again.
