SUNSET POINT FARM - Gracious Country Farm on the Chesapeake Bay - 75 Acres

Whether you need to recharge your batteries, explore one of the most remote creeks on the Eastern Shore, or introduce your children to the rural/farm life, you have found the perfect spot in Sunset Point Farm.

Everything you need to enjoy your stay is here: towels, sheets, shampoo, laundry detergent, farm-fresh eggs, beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, etc. I do not provide bug spray or sunscreen as everyone seems to have their preference in this department.

This is the home I grew up in and has been in the family since 1947. Having built next door (don't worry, you will have privacy) I am available to help you have a wonderful stay as your host.

** All reviews on this property prior to 4/20/24 are from a time when I, the owner, lived in NH and my property was managed by a professional property manager. I live "next door" and am happy to provide various concierge services. ***

Four bedroom, 2.5 bath house with living, dining, kitchen, screened porch, and back deck.

Water on two sides of the property - our dock is right outside the front door. Behind the house to the north/right is our forest/marsh area, home to a great horned owl, red-headed woodpeckers, and a few deer. Behind the house are the pastures we are growing to bring beef cattle back to the farm (2025). A five-seven minute walk down the field brings you to our shoreline - a great place to catch red drum, speckled trout, or stripers/rockfish on any incoming tide. There is a beach exposed on any half/low tide which is great for small children.

What can you do on this property? In no particular order:
1) crab/fish from the dock
2) launch your boat (up to 24" ) flat bottom is best for this water, but smaller V hulls work too
3) go birding - my cousin clocked 47 species in 2 hours last July
4) walk down the field to the bit of private beach we have
5) read a book on the back deck
6) have a fire in the backyard
7) kayak (we have two you can use)
8) have crab or clam steam ( we are happy to procure for you)
9) dove hunt (in season + upcharge)
10) collect the eggs (chickens in our nearby barn - roosters are friendly)
11) go to the sandbar - take your boat or I am happy to drop off/pick up using our if I am here (upcharge applies for boat gas)
12) book a fishing trip with our favorite guide Drew Sturgis

Please message me if you have any questions about extra guests, what's possible, etc. We aim to please.

Suggested d
Day 1: arrive, walk the field, settle in, enjoy a drink, and unwind.
Day 2: pack a lunch and go to the sandbar if the weather is good. If it's rainy, the Barrier Island Center shares some of the Shore's history and traditions in a beautiful setting. Follow this by lunch across the street at the Machipongo Coffee Company, or travel 15 minutes south to Cape Charles for lunch and ice cream.
Day 3: Drive an hour north to Assateague Island and enjoy the beach. Rent bikes and tour Chincoteague. Stop by the Island Creamery for delicious ice cream (No matter how long the line is, it's worth the wait!).
Day 4: Book a fishing trip with the best guide on the Eastern Shore, Drew Sturgis. Young and old appreciate catching a fish! End the day with a clam steam (we can pick up for you if you give me 48-hour notice).
Day 5: Book a trail ride at Phiefer Stables in Machipongo (20-minute distance from here)
Day 6: Back to the standard for more of the most beautiful places around here. Take a nap... cook in.
Day 7: Everyone does best with a good breakfast. Eat some farm-fresh eggs before you leave!

Lovely home and property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sunset Point! I love old farmhouses and this one was especially wonderful: lovingly maintained throughout and comfortably furnished. Updates to the kitchen and baths are so tastefully done. All the modern convenience while still in keeping with the style of the home. Beautiful! The surrounding property is lovely as well. Quiet and peaceful with plenty of gorgeous views. This was our first vacation with our dog—and he was in heaven. The first thing he did was jump off the end of the dock and swim in the creek. Then there were fiddler crabs to chase and tall grasses to explore. He certainly slept well at night. The Belle Haven location worked great for us. We visited Cape Charles, dined in Onancock and ventured to Assateague. Ellen is a wonderful host. The home was super clean and well-stocked and although she was out of town during our stay, we had no problem with communication. We would highly recommend!

Absolute Gem
We've used VRBOs for years as our family's vacations where the folks from north and south meet. Out of the many homes, condos, cabins and alike, this farm was far and away our favorite. Its very secluded, but a short drive from grocers, a walmart, and a number of great seafood markets. Our host was absolutely incredible, there for suggestions and any help we needed, but in no way bothersome. When we arrived there were fresh melons from the garden, eggs from the coop, and a fresh loaf of sourdough waiting for us. Despite being an old(1700s if i remember correctly)home, there wasnt a single creak or noise, and the mini splits did a fantastic job giving everyone the exact enviorment they wanted. Tall ceilings and enormous windows made it feel very modern with a bit of rustic charm. Beds were very comfortable, and the house was well stocked with needed items, vs the normal ikea shotgun that many vrbos have. The property was impeccibly maintained, with large herb gardens you could grab from while youre grilling or having a clam bake. The host Ellen was absolutely incredible, her home is on the adjoining property, and she was always available, but never bothersome. She helped a ton with planning day trips and coming up with ideas of things to see, and what was worth skipping. Really wish there was a way to give this place more stars, from the fishing, to beaches, it was absolutely perfect.

Beautiful, Relaxing Retreat
I had a wonderful stay at Ellen's property! The home and surronding property is beautiful, well-maintained, and has all the amenities you would want for a relaxing retreat. It is a very special place, with gorgeous views on the surrounding property. My dog and I loved spending time in the yard, taking walks down to the water's edge, and relaxing on the porch at sunset. The kitchen is well stocked and was such a pleasant space as someone who likes to cook. Ellen was an incredible host, very responsive, and went out of her way to make our stay lovely in so many ways - picking us up wild oysters and clams, offering to take us out to the sand bar, bringing us fresh eggs and vegetables from her garden. I will be finding a reason to come back, would highly recommend.

Lovely, private house, needs better cleaning
The property manager is very kind and committed, but the place was really dirty. Not only did we did not want to spend time cleaning on vacation, but in the time of covid, we want to trust that the house had been thoroughly cleaned. The good things: AC, the view, the quiet, the stars, the paintings, the house. The problematic things: We arrived and I started picking up broken glass bottles from the front walk, found lots to clean inside, cabinets full of dead ants, dirty oven, and wrote to the manager who came right over to help out. The house notes say we have to bring out the garbage with us, but there were no garbage bags or paper towels. The manager called the cleaners to come back, but in quarantine, we did not want people inside the house. The view is glorious, but the bugs are intense and the house is on the water, but no swimming in the brackish water. It may have been a bad week and we were unlucky, and I know the property manager will make sure the house is spotless in the future.

June Vacation
Enjoyed the peace and quiet of this home. Having the whole farm to ourselves was a nice benefit. The boat ramp on the property was nice, as we were able to enjoy the creek and the sandy beaches at the mouth of the creek.

Beautiful!
Beautiful house with lots of tasteful details and ongoing and future improvements. Bigger than expected - 4 big bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and one 1/2 bath attached to the laundry room. Awesome kitchen built for giants (or at least very tall people). I would not recommend for families with very small children.

Perfect Retreat From The Hustle and Bustle
Belle Haven is an apt name for this place, it’s a magical place, heaven on earth. Our group consisted of my husband, myself, and our three grown sons and one girlfriend and two dogs. One son came from DC for the long weekend and the other came from PGH for the end of the trip, both pretty easy drives. The house is beautifully decorated with original art, oriental rugs and comfortable yet elegant furniture. The kitchen island is gigantic! The kitchen is well equipped and there is a really nice grill on the deck just past the screened-in-porch. None of us really ever wanted to leave and we had no reason to. This was the perfect place to recharge. Here’s what we all loved about the place: The peace and quiet – this beautiful retreat is far from the beaten path, far enough that there are no distracting noises from other people, cars, boats, etc. All you hear is nature, the water, the wind, the birds and each other. The required unplugging – our cell phones (Verizon) did not get service and, while the Wi-Fi worked fine, we decided not to use it. There was one television in one bedroom and one in the kitchen (which we never tried). We actually hung out together, played cards, paddled, played lawn games, read books, visited, cooked, just enjoyed each other’s company. Fishing and crabbing from the dock. Having our dogs with us and watching them run free on the farm. Staying in – We went out for groceries a couple of times but mostly we paddled out to the sandbar and explored the property. We began our evenings with cocktails on the deck and then grilled fresh fish and shrimp that we bought at the local seafood stand and prepared the crabs that we caught and the oysters we harvested! The Sunsets – both at the end of the cornfield and from the deck and kitchen windows. The sunset was spectacular every night. The stars – no light pollution out there so the night sky was awe inspiring. The beds – very comfortable. The kayaks and canoes – we made use of these every day. I especially loved kayaking out the creek just around the bend and watching the birds in the morning. One of the kayaks had a cup holder perfect for a cup of coffee. From that spot, I would watch white and blue heron and ospreys. Here’s what we did not love: Leaving and returning to reality – that’s it. Also, Pete, the property manager was wonderful! We were lucky enough to meet him on our first day. Thanks for the best vacation EVER!

The Farm was terrific. Three families, nine of us, had plenty of room to relax. We fished and exploded the property. We drove a half hour to Cape Charles and Chincoteague. Thanks!

Away From It All
The house was comfortable and larger than it seems. Definitely a get away from it all kind of place with nice natural surroundings. You can tell the family that owns it has been methodically working on updating and refreshing the house, with most rooms already done. The only things really left are one bedroom upstairs to resurface the walls and repaint, the 2nd floor wood deck to refinish, and the inside of the kitchen cabinets to refresh. The room with the twin bed was perfect for our 3 year old to climb into a "big girl bed." Having individual A/C thermostats for each room was a nice feature. The kitchen was slightly challenging as the upper cabinets are very high. A shorter person can just reach the first shelf, but would need to use the stool to get to anything higher than that. We were working on a hobby project and had no issues accessing the internet. We did lack cell service strong enough for phone calls, but could still text, and receive calls on the house phone. The beds were comfortable, though possibly a touch soft for those who like a really firm mattress. Definitely a plus that linens were included, rather than having to supply our own. The outdoor pictures were slightly misleading, as we did not find any beach area on the water besides the boat launch by the dock. Enjoyment of the water is definitely geared toward those going out on the water, rather than staying on shore at the house. Unfortunately during our stay there was an ant problem. Hopefully it was just our bad luck rather than a recurring / constant issue. This did lead to extra time cleaning / securing all food, and daily trips to the garbage facility 10-15 minutes away (there is no local pickup). Hence 3 stars rather than 4. As expected anywhere on the Eastern shore, bug spray is a must. The owner had several varieties stocked for guest use, which was nice. While not around the corner, we were easily able to do day trips south to Cape Charles, which was a great beach for our toddler (shallow, warm, no big waves, not crowded), and north to Chincoteague for a pony boat tour (Saltwater Pony tour was great). If coming from the north and using a GPS, definitely stay on route 13 longer to Painter / Belle Haven, rather than taking the back roads from Onley. Having the flexibility to book from Friday to Friday was nice, as we were able to avoid weekend beach traffic in Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey on our travels.

A peaceful week
Sunset Farm is beautifully remote and we had a good time kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and watching the abundant wildlife. We had little reason to leave, except to play golf. [recommend Bay Creek in Cape Charles]. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and really nice. The A/C units are exceptional. The property manager was receptive and we enjoyed target shooting, as well.

Beautiful, Peaceful Retreat - Great Family Time
Our family had such a great time at Sunset Point Farm. This place is basically heaven - the sights, sounds and texture of nature and the wind make you feel like part of the landscape. The back deck is perfect in the morning for coffee and again in the evening for cocktails and grilling. Craddock Creek is delightfully pristine and private. And, did I say the beds are comfy?!! Several days we ventured forth to Assateague, Cape Charles and Virginia Beach....all doable from here, but enjoyed coming back to the peacefulness of this place. Highly recommended!
