Cute Cottage in Water Oriented Community
We stayed for five nights. Very comfortable cottage, extremely clean and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the short walk to the water and the water view from the rear deck. Neighbors were friendly. There are two beaches (short walks), but we did not use either. Chain grocery stores are about 30 minutes away.Definitely recommend the property!

Another relaxing visit
Returned to the property this year for 10 day stay. It was just as relaxing as it was last year and the owner was responsive to our needs. The house is cute. The back deck was upgraded. We love being able to walk around the community with all of its charm and river activities. Great place to go with family and friends.

Earlville stay
We had a good time. The house was very clean and tidy. We did not realize that it was part of a close community with houses very close together or that one had to pay to go on the beach etc. But we did go down one day to the public beach but the steps were pretty eroded and one needs to be very careful. But once we got down there it was serene and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck and looking out at the Bay in the morning and at sunset. Chesapeake City and Chestertown are pretty close and we liked that. Chris was very kind and responded immediately the one time I sent a message. Thank you, Chris

Birthday Celebration Weekend
Our stay was amazing! Christine and Ash are wonderful hosts. Their home is lovely and very accommodating. From beautiful decor, fresh flowers and mint, to scenic bay views on the front patio and rear deck! The weather cooperated, resulting in perfect beach days and amazing sunsets on the Bay! We enjoyed dining at nearby Schaefer’s Inn and Chesapeake Inn. We look toward to our next visit!

Modern convenience plus quiet and a good rest.
Waterview cottage is comfortable and very clean. The accommodations look new and we had good sleep. The kitchen has most of the necessary equipment for meal preparation. A baking sheet pan is needed. WiFi and Roku TV was excellent.
The primary bedroom bed was so tall/high my wife could not get in or out of it. That necessitated sleeping in the 2 twins. Plus, one of the twins was missing the top mini mattress. The view is mostly of the neighborhood street, nearby homes and their roofs and a small section of the Bay from the back deck and down the street view from the front deck. Nice deck furniture. Also, although warned by the website details, pay attention that there are no major or even smaller grocery stores closer than Cecilton (7.3 miles) and that is a large Dollar General.

Come for the view, stay for the neighbors
Nicely redone two BR cottage, lots of space in LR for pull out couch (my son found it was decent quality 👍). Wonderful to have a water view from both the front and back decks - short walk to the water (6 houses back?). Treats on arrival were a kind bonus. Even though it rained a few days, found things to do (wineries, Amish Market, Chesapeake City). No stores very close, so bring food - but also ate at the local Beach Bar — Fun group of neighbors around the bar (like Cheers!). Next door neighbor was nice - but be a good visitor and be respectful and keep the cars off the edge of the lawn.
Chris helped us out with a small issue late evening - she was there right away .
Wonderful place near the water! 👍👍

Great Thanksgiving weekend!
We used this cozy cottage as overflow for a Thanksgiving get-together at relatives in the area. It was wonderful having our own place where we could relax and recharge. We loved the cute, updated, well-planned rooms. We walked along the water every morning, enjoying the peace and views. Our favorite activity was a 12 mile bike ride on the paved trail starting in nearby Chesapeake City. Will definitely book here again when in the Earleville area!

weekend getaway
Communication with the host was excellent and check-in was easy. The size of the cabin was just perfect for us, cozy and comfortable and very clean. The living room was spacious for us to play board games and lounge.
We found everything we needed to use in the kitchen and there was enough space to prepare and cook. The beds were comfortable, and we had a restful sleep.
The location was awesome, and we found the neighborhood quiet and safe. It was a short walk to the beach, and we were able to watch the beautiful sunset and gorgeous view of the bay.
We visited nearby state parks and saw picturesque towns along the way that added to our delight.

Beautiful Cottage
Cottage was immaculate! Neat, clean & well equipped!
Owner was quick to respond. Problem for us was the location. Area was a bit sketchy, beach was not swimmable.
Sunset, however, was gorgeous.
This home is perfect if you just want to relax & enjoy the view. In terms of restaurants, things to do- not much there.

Christine was easy to reach and responded promptly to texts.
I liked the close location to the bay beach.
The food and staff of Annie's By the Bay was excellent! Enjoyed breakfast at the Fireside Grill!

Check in was super easy. The cottage was cute and clean. It had everything we needed to enjoy our time near friends. The community is quiet during the week and a bit busier on the weekends. The beach and the water were exactly what we expected. Looking forward to returning in the future.
