The property/home was gorgeous just as advertised. The home is right on the water with great views from the deck and the wall of windows on the front of the house. Inside the home is nicely decorated in a nautical theme and is well appointed with everything needed to feel at home. The owner was great providing detailed/easy to follow instructions as well as recommendations to area activities and restaurants. He also baited two crab pots so we could enjoy crabbing. The house is in a quiet neighborhood so it made it easy to relax and watch the sailboats and wildlife (bald eagles, blue heron, etc.). The sunrises and sunsets from the property were spectacular. The home is also a short drive from Solomons Island and the area state parks (hiking and shark tooth hunting). We really enjoyed the house and will definitely stay here again when we visit this area in the future.

The house and the location are great, but it’s Pete’s attention to detail that makes this property truly special. The house is equipped with everything you need to enjoy quiet, relaxing vacation: linens, toiletries, cookware, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, fishing gear, bikes, and big beautiful Maryland blue crabs.

The house is beautiful and has EVERTHING you need if you want to chill and catch/eat crabs…and in comfort. Your host will have you set up to catch crabs and enjoy the water and the beautiful state of Maryland in every way. Thank you Pete!!!

This home is just as described and more. We enjoyed everything about our stay from the sparkling waterfront views to the comfortable, charming home with all necessities provided. The host goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a great time, from wine and chocolates when you arrive to crab traps already baited , and all supplies for steaming your catch! Pete is definitely a VRBO Premier host, he has paid attention to every detail to make his home feel like yours ! We all look forward to a return visit!

We really enjoyed our stay at this charming A-frame three bedroom house right at the Patuxtent and with a great view of Solomon Island Harbor. The house was greatly equipped and we enjoyed lovely sunsets while cooking dinner. Pete was a super gracious host, greeting us with red wine and chocolates. While not for us, the spot was also great for crabbing. While there, we "caught" 15 Maryland blue crabs, which we released, but could have also ended up as our dinner ;-) Definitely a place to keep in mind for future weekend retreats.

We enjoyed our relaxing stay - we did not go out except one night - so we were cooking in a lot. Read books, feasted on wonderful crabs that we caught and watched the beautiful boats and F-16s. We thought the linens were really nice and the beds comfortable - which may seem like an odd thing to comment on but we care about that - and the cooking equipment, spices and supplies were one of the best of any rental we have stayed in.

Had a great stay. Property is just as described in listing, and all the essentials are provided. Very clean and decor is perfect. Owner responded quickly to all questions and communications, and provided a few extras to make our stay even more special. We caught (and released) several fish our last day there, and enjoyed watching the boats come and go while we were sitting there. Cool surprise the first day seeing (and hearing) the jets fly overhead towards the Patuxent NAS.
