This little unit is built right on the deck and has water views from every window. We have a 65" Large Screen TV with High Speed WiFi. A Queen Size bed, a Twin Bed and off street parking. We are also Pet Friendly with a fenced in yard. The Boat House is built right on the deck overlooking the beautiful waters of the Chesapeake Bay. And we do mean right on the water. We feature a water front deck to sit and enjoy the view. Our single bedroom features two beds - a Queen Size bed and a Twin Size bed. This unit is perfect for a couple and even a small family of 3. We will allow a bit of "piling in" if you have younger children, but any additional bedding or sleeping arrangements will be up to you. Our kitchen, or kitchenette rather, is small and not designed for cooking meals. We do not have a stove, but do offer a microwave and small counter top toaster oven. This is not the place to cook meals but more of a place to reheat them. Our bathroom features a stand up shower, toilet and sink. Not big enough for a bathtub. We also have a fenced in back yard which will allow for kids and pets to run and play. We do have off street parking, but it is limited. We have a combination lock on the door which will allow for easy check ins/outs on your own. The waterfront deck can be shared from time to time, but only with other guests. \*\* PLEASE PAY ATTENTION - No Parties are allowed or tolerated.

Highly recommend staying there! ##### Phyllis Ann Z. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald P. Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ants in the bathroom after mowing the lawn real bad Overall except the ants it was great. ##### Ronald P. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### JESSICA N. Dec 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Weekend stay The only reason we gave them a 3 out of 5 on the check in process is because the rental is a little hard to find, and gps doesn’t take you there. Also you will hear traffic on the highway behind the property at night. ##### JESSICA N. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie H. Dec 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Worked for us! The little house was cute as pictures showed. It was right on the water as described, we attempted to fish but no bites. There really wasn't a fenced in yard as described though. Both gates were not functioning properly and there were other tenants with dogs that shared the same yard. The only specific issue was the shower drain that we fixed with a 5 dollar bottle of drano. The bathroom was quite tiny but worked for what it was needed for, and understanding this is defined as a boat house too. Our pup could enjoy the deck freely for a bit once we blocked off one side of it. Overall the price was good and we were able enjoy our stay as we visited family in the area for Thanksgiving. Also want to note that the owner was quick to fix the wifi when it randomly went out which we appreciated. Lastly, parking was a bit tight but made it work. ##### Natalie H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Addie Jun 25, 2024 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Completely Misleading and Dangerous I booked this property for the view, ability to fish off the dock and the fenced in yard for my dog. It cost more than it was worth! The view is littered with broken wood and long rusty nails on the beach. The dock that I was hoping to fish off was littered in the bay in front of the cabin. The once clear and swimmable bay is now completely dangerous and off limits. The outdated pictures show the dock as a highlight. On top of that, the deck has of large broken pieces as well. A child or dog is not safe here! They can run right off of the deck. Even a full sized human could. This place may have once been nice but is now a hazard. If you do have a dog, the fence is not even remotely fenced in. There are no working gates and the fence has a large opening for a human to walk through, let alone an animal or child. The grill mentioned is an old wood grill. Must not have been used in this decade, metal rusted and bricks cracked. May be functional but I don't think it is safe or sanitary. There is also no private bedroom, it is a studio. The bathroom is small for a person who is 5'4. Couldn't wash my head standing in the shower. Bring toilet paper, just in case you arrive after a 6 hour trip and there is none in the house like we did. They offered to bring the next day but decided to come same day later on. The best part of this property is the beach that is 3 blocks away after crossing a busy street with no cross walks. This is not a child or dog friendly environment. ##### Addie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Saskatoon Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-And-Suites-Saskatoon-Airport-Saskatchewan.h10911879.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Kamloops](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamloops-Hotels.d3979.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Omni Richmond Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Omni-Richmond-Hotel.h13817.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Richmond Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Hilton-Richmond-Downtown.h2169422.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Va-Beach-Oceanfront.h5632.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Marriott-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h664793.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Richmond](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Richmond.h25870.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ontario-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d11178-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Virginia Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Virginia-Beach.h10166.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Virginia Beach Waterfront Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Norfolk-Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Virginia-Beach-Bayfront-Suites.h40896449.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h8199153.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h1155964.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Ocho Rios](https://www.expedia.ca/Ocho-Rios-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d553248635209673480-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Norfolk-Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h4665123.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn & Suites Virginia Beach North Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Suites-Virginia-Beach-North-Beach.h16268.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton New York Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-New-York-Downtown.h3859014.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Virginia Beach / Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Virginia-Beach-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Virginia-Beach-Oceanfront.h3827084.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Lamezia Terme (SUF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fco/suf/rome-to-lamezia-terme) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Cleveland (CLE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cle/calgary-to-cleveland) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to New Orleans (MSY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/msy/toronto-to-new-orleans) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Lahore (LHE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lhe/vancouver-to-lahore) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Sydney (SYD) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/syd/yvr/sydney-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yyt/montreal-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cpt/calgary-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cok/calgary-to-cochin) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Los-Angeles.d178280.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rental.cET.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany)
