Our stay at the Cottage near the Bay was fantastic and exactly what my family needed. The host went above and beyond to communicate with us and make our stay excellent. The cottage was very clean, cozy, and a welcome escape. When we come back to Crisfield we won't be staying anywhere else, as long as it isn't already booked!
Come stay at this wonderful house in lovely Crisfield Maryland. You won't be sorry. The host is fantastic and gets back to you quickly if you have questions. Thank you for everything.
The owner was quick to respond, informative, and polite. The property did the job we were asking from it by being near by our family, close to the bay, and being pet friendly. I was not impressed by the cleanliness, but it was not out right dirty or unsanitary. You get what you pay for. Over all we were pleased with our stay!
3br - 1bth bungalow. Exactly what we had hoped for. Out of the way, private, and secluded getaway for the week to just relax and chill. Host/owner was very accessible and accommodating. Older unit, but completely redone tastefully, with all the amenities you could expect. Would definitely stay again!
Myself and my husband and our 3 now adult children spent two nights here we were in hopes of seeing the wild horses and as luck would have it it rained just about the whole time however we found the wild horses and got some great pictures and explored in the pouring rain the host was very good about sending us out directions on how to get to the island because I couldn't find directions and she had a nice little notebook there with some menus in it and we found a wonderful Italian restaurant we had a great time thank you for your hospitality
The last two years I have been going to the Crab and Cruise (The Crab Place) and stayed in this house. The house is very close to the venue which is convenient. The house is cozy, quaint and private. There is a grocery store (Food Lion) within 5 minutes of the house. The only thing that I would recommend if you like to sit outside enjoying the evening air is to make sure you bring insect repellent. The mosquitoes are very bad just like any other place that is surrounded by woods. I look forward in coming back each year!
House was awesome. Told all my friends about the place. It’s a perfect location between Ocean City and Chincoteague. Plus the fireworks over the bay were Awesome. We left more pamphlets. We visited Crisfield day one, day 2 Tangier, 3 was Chincoteague, 4 Salisbury Zoo, 5 frontier town water park and Ocean City. 6 chincoteague and the last day we relaxed. And left Friday Night. Seen a few doe and fawns behind the house. Very quiet there. Thank You
I reached out to the property owner after our stay to bring some things to her attention and provided her with 18 pictures to support my concerns and honest feedback regarding our stay. As I said in my text -the cottage has a lot of potential but needs some love and upgrades.
I have yet to receive a response. Perhaps the truth hurts, but things needed to be brought to her attention.
The images on VRBO did not match what is currently in the house as some furniture has been changed out. The side porch entrance where you access the house was not stable as the wood on the landing was soft depending on where you stepped. One wrong move and we may have gone through it. Dust, cobwebs and dog hair were everywhere, as well as ants. We were left with half a toilet paper roll, a used bar of soap still in the shower and what seemed to be a catch all basket of left behind used toiletries including used toothpaste and contact lens solution. Luckily we brought our own toiletries, but again nothing like the picture. I told the owner that her cleaning lady was doing her dirty.
Honestly, it almost seemed as if someone was living in it with their dog and got out for the weekend that we rented.
Give the house some love, a visit from an exterminator and some much needed updates it deserves it and has a lot of potential. Until then, I would not bring small children to this residence as my 2 year old was almost bit by a huge spider which were very common in the house.
Best of luck!
Nothing special - equal to value charged. The best reason to stay here is its extremely quiet neighborhood, but easy to get to and from off main road. It was perfect location to get to every place we wanted to visit within an hour drive. Salisbury, Chincoteague Island and Crisfield were our planned excursions. Plenty of beautiful nature to see. Good restaurants at all our visiting spots and Food Lion was close by. The house drip coffee machine did not work, ants inside the kitchen were a real pain, and there was no toilet to start with after a long drive. I would still recommend this quiet little house to small families or just a couple.
My family had a great trip ! If you are visiting the area, this house is comfortable, quiet neighborhood, and close to everything. Everything was as described and next time we visit we will stay here.
It was perfect couldn't complain I believe I might have left something at the house in the freezer but the overall great location on beautiful home just a look and pictures will recommend to others prices right good staying good booking
We enjoyed our stay there - it's close enough to the downtown and the water for convenient access but set back on a quiet road. We went crabbing on the pier behind the local library, relaxed at nearby Wellington Beach, and took a ferry to Smith Island. Would definitely recommend this place to others as a nice place to stay.
