4 Times!

This was our fourth time staying here. As always, we felt a welcome sense of familiarity as we walked through the door and saw the St Clement’s Bay through the windows. The whole stay was peaceful and beautiful. Thanks again for opening your home to us.

Ever young

We stayed here two years ago and it was pristine. We were expecting a little aging of the property and the furnishings, due to age. Not so but far otherwise…it was if anything even better condition than two years ago. The bay and the birds are the reason we come and the house just enhances the experience.

Family get-away chill time

Best VRBO or ABNB we've ever stayed at! Spotlessly clean and so organized to make everything easy for us to enjoy. The shed full of water craft is wonderful. Also, we didn't know the area at all and found Lewisburg to be great for dinners. I highly recommend this property

Perfect Getaway

Enjoyed our stay. House was clean. View lovely. Only challenges were discovering after our first night that most of the windows in the sunroom were unlocked... and I wasn't thrilled with having to strip the beds before we departed.

This was our second visit. The autumn view is just as beautiful as the summer view. As if that weren’t enough to make our eyes twinkle, the host added lovely little touches of autumn around the house. We felt at home and at peace.

Beautiful and peaceful getaway

The property was beautiful and the location is peaceful, secluded, and relaxing. We loved the sun porch with a beautiful waterfront view of the bay. Perfect place for a quiet and relaxing stay while enjoying beautiful views and nature. We would definitely stay here again. House was spotless and lovely decor. Very comfortable and hosts provided lots of amenities and information about nearby restaurants and shops in town.

Wonderfully peaceful

Our stay was absolutely beautiful. The home is perfectly organized, clean and so very well thought out. Diane and Harold have thought out everything you would want or need during your stay including lovely extra touches like fresh flowers and snacks. We used their kayaks and fire pit and loved reading in the sunroom. We hope to come back again!

We had an amazing time at the little red oyster house! The house was very well organized and stocked with all kinds of extras. St Clements Island State Park and Museum were very close to the house and we enjoyed visiting both places. The views, the wildlife, we loved it all . Perfect quick get a way for a little R& R.

serene escape from the Beltway

wanted a little get away from some of the chaos of the Beltway- could not have found a more enchanting cottage that made all the noise and stress of the beltway melt away within minutes of arriving. was a wonderful time just enjoying the passtime of watching ospreys, herons and kayaking out on St. Clements. thank you for the chance to get away

So peaceful!

We enjoyed out stay very much in February. It was so quiet and nice. Very very clean! Three generations of family came and loved. The sunroom with the view of the water was amazing and nice and toasty for our winter getaway. Thank you Diane and Harold for being so helpful, all the extra nice touches you added, and sharing your lovely cottage with us! We would love to visit again.
