Epic Weekend
We rented the house for the weekend to celebrate my mom’s 90th birthday! The house was amazing. Such a beautiful property. The pool was lovely and the view is spectacular. We were able to spend a peaceful weekend together, hanging out at the pool, looking at old photos and telling stories about my mom. The house is beautiful and it was like staying in a museum. So fascinating. The kitchen was well stocked, the porch is wonderful, and the rooms gave us enough space to spread out. Thank you for sharing you lovely house with us.

We were pleasantly surprised that the house is the end of the small road with several private acres. The layout offered main floor bed/bath for my parents, 2nd floor 3b/3b for my brother and his teens, and an attached garage apartment for my husband and I. The pool was fun and well kept. The dock was protected and allowed us to rent a boat and the guys to fish. The kitchen had everything a gourmet chef could imagine. Our main difficulty was that there was no easy place/way to launch kayaks or paddleboards. That said, it was a very enjoyable trip.

Fantastic stay for a family get together
Fantastic stay for a family get together - Plenty of beds, and though the master suite is an open space with impacted privacy, it is big and it does have its own balcony, which is nice. The home is very well-kept and maintained, the owner and the property manager are both very responsive and helpful. The absolute best part of this house is the outdoor space including an expansive screened in porch, a wonderful pool, lovely Jacuzzi, fire pit, pier, all on a large grassy peninsula on the Chesapeake. The neighborhood was a great area to walk around in, with a nearby ferry to Oxford. A short 15 minute drive to charming Saint Michaels, was also a lovely perk. We enjoyed our stay very much, and this home is certainly in our starred list for return visits :-)

Bonate'
Bonate’ is a treasure nestled between St. Michaels and Oxford on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Three generations of our family spent a long Labor Day weekend there, after 18 months apart. We could not have found a better spot, with everything from a private pool (complete with an inflatable alligator, whose name is “Pete,” according to the youngest family member) to landscaping (with redwood and walnut trees) to a variety of birds (with guidebooks and binoculars at hand) – all framed by spectacular views across the water from sunrise to sunrise. We were welcomed by a kind note from the owner, alerting us to a few idiosyncrasies that were not surprising in a home which is a treasure – for example, one shower control is mislabeled even though carrying the brand of a major manufacturer. The welcome was continued when we were met at the home by the local agent. On our first walk-around, we discovered that the previous day’s storms (accompanying two F2 tornadoes) had damaged furniture around the pool and broken several tree limbs. Fortunately, there was no damage to the home. The agent immediately began cleaning the pool herself. Shortly after, we left for lunch and grocery shopping. When we returned a few hours later, we found that everything had been repaired. The local agent was equally quick to respond to questions about the house and to offer recommendations for shopping, dining, or just being lazy. The home itself is an architectural masterpiece. Each of the four bedrooms has a television and a full bath (one with shower/tub, two with showers, and the master with shower and tub); each has a private, screened balcony; each has large windows, with everything being larger in the master. There are other details (a games room, with television and pool table; a sitting area with round dining table; and a fully equipped kitchen with its own TV); but no description can adequately describe the details that make the house a treasure. The house is filled with collections from lifetimes of travel, from large (hand-painted animals from merry-go-rounds) to small (figures of cats guard every room), with duck decoys in abundance. More personal collections include one honoring George Washington which surrounds the main staircase, and a pair of framed, first pages from the New York Times reporting the sinking of the Titanic. And always, creaking wood-plank floors served as a reminder that the house is a home with living memories.

Wow what a wonderful property
We stayed here for a family vacation. My husband my parents (late 70s) and our 2 adult boys (20 & 22) The house is gorgeous plenty of space and our boys liked having their own space in the apartment over the garage. The views are incredible. Very nice dock for fishing and or crabbing. The housekeeper and owner were very responsive and kind when we had questions. The house and grounds are very clean and well kept. I think every day we found another new treasure as we explored the owner's amazing collections she has throughout the house. The pool was very nice as well. One of our favorite spots to hangout as a family was the screened in porch. The property is just doen the road from the ferry and it is situated not too far from Easton and St Michaels. Definitely recommend and we will hopefully be back again!

NOT OK. DEFINITELY NOT OK.
I am a loyal fan of VRBO, but this property is misrepresented. The setting is gorgeous but the poor house and amenities are in serious disrepair. There is NO MASTER BEDROOM, as it opens directly onto & above the kitchen (no wall) and is a loft-style. Zero privacy, not even a door to the bathroom. The hot tub cover is shredded, split in half and dribbling plastic pieces into the water. The pool filter broke on Day One and we were assured it would be repaired or provided with something temporary, never happened. The frame of the house is suffering from wood rot, which has caused screening in the advertised screened porches to fall out, made sliding doors difficult to open & close. There are rips, cracks and outdated items throughout the home. And, the owner has personal belongings and collections seriously cluttering the property so that there is barely a place to put your toothbrush. One shouldn't have to pay this much money to live amidst a myriad of fragile objects, personal effects and duct tape covering holes. This was a tense (and expensive) stay; tried to implore the Realtor to acknowledge this and provide some sort of financial restitution, but was denied. Glad that others enjoyed their stay, but BEWARE and AVOID until advertising, condition and pricing are realistic, in my opinion.

Perfection!
We just spent last week at Bonate’ and absolutely loved it! It was the perfect place for our annual Sorority Sister Reunion. There were 10 of us young at heart but old enough to know better women. This home has 4 bedrooms plus an attached apartment that very comfortably slept the 10 of us. An awesome bonus is that each bedroom has its own bathroom so getting ready was never a problem and taking showers at the same time wasn’t an issue either. There was hot water enough for everyone. The weather was brutally hot but we barely noticed it at the house. The pool was sparkling clean and cool, the screened porch has 2 big fans and lots of lovely furniture, we spent the majority of our days in the pool or on the porch. There is water on 3 sides of the property so there was a nice breeze that would come through every day. The home itself is beautiful and it has a large variety of different collectibles throughout so it was so fun discovering new things every day. She has 8 original carousel animals throughout the large house that are just magical! A huge menagerie of Duck, Geese and Loon decoys, plus many other collections. We absolutely loved our vacation here, the kitchen has everything you need, the bathrooms, the comfortable beds, the porch, the kayaks, the fantastic pool, the water views, just everything. The location was ideal also, the Oxford Ferry was right at the end of the street, about a 1 minute drive. Easton or St Michael’s are a 15 minute drive. We all had dinner at The Robert Morris Inn one night and it was delightful and delicious. Everyone agreed that we can highly recommend staying at this property. It’s the perfect place for a group like ours. Thank you Penny and Kathy for this lovely property we were lucky enough to experience!❤️
