Great location
Easy community beach access was by far the best feature of this rental. We spent most of our days on the quiet beach just down the street either fishing, swimming or shark tooth hunting. Everything you could ever need was provided in the house as well.

Family birthday
We traveled from Alabama to Maryland to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. While there we invited some of her family over for a small dinner and celebration. We loved the home. It was decorated beautifully and there was plenty of seating and space. We really enjoyed the screed in back porch. The home is very organized and was not lacking in any amenity! The neighborhood is very quiet and while walking to the private beach we met some residents who were very friendly.

The perfect spot to recharge
All of us agreed that Bodhi's Beach House was perfect. The cottage was charming, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. We were delighted with its proximity to the private beach and access to amenities (such as the kayaks and other gear) that made it easy for us to enjoy as little or as much as we wanted. I urge others to check out the area--a gorgeous mix of hiking trails and wetlands, often leading to stunning views of the bay and hidden beaches.
Patti was an excellent host--friendly and responsive, yet allowing us the freedom to truly relax. Thank you for your kindness! We will do our best to visit again soon!

Sweet Cottage
We are women, all over 60. Loved the cottage. The description was very accurate.
The kitchen was so well stocked!! Plenty of dvd movies to choose from for our evening downtime. Plus games galore.
The beds comfy.
And so clean.
Walking to the water was pure pleasure.
Easy driving distance to Annmarie Sculpture Garden, as well as various parks such as Calvert Cliffs.
We would stay again.

Best Hosts ever
We use VRBO about 3 times a year for work and vacation. These were the best hosts we have had. They took extra steps to make our Christmas experience with the kids more fun. They even went out and bought ornaments for the kids to put up on a tree they added to the house just for our trip.
The place is tucked away in a special place. Close to DC and many neat features in the area. They even offered more places and things to do to help make our time more enjoyable.
This house is stocked like your grandma’s house and we wanted for nothing. We have 5 kids and they were able to stay upstairs comfortably and my wife and I enjoyed the downstairs area to ourselves in the evening.
Of all the places we have stayed they truly shine above all others as excellent hosts.

Fabulous family vacation
The property fit our family of 5 adults and 2 children (3 generations) perfectly. It was well-equipped for all our needs - cooking, beach-going, relaxing, playing games, and reading on the screen porch with bay views. It has an easy walk to a lovely beach that wasn't ever crowded. The property manager is nearby, friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. There is a great produce place not far that also sells local meat, dairy, and seafood - and we ate lots of delicious crab! The whole family wants to go back next summer.

first vrbo rental
House was great. Liked being able to use the compost bin out back. Only negative about the property is that the grass needed cut. Walking through tall grass to get beach chairs and such from the gazebo was a negative. Also the grass was tall around the grill, and the grill has seen better days. In the future, I would look for a property that wasn't so close to other homes, but overall, being my first time using vrbo, it was a good experience and we had a wonderful time.
Host was Very hospitable friendly neighbors and comfortable beach house.

Lovely house by the Bay
We stayed here with our children and their grandmothers and all had a wonderful time! The kitchen is well stocked and we had no problem finding cookware or whatever else we needed. Clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into the decor! I loved the colors, so bright and welcoming! We appreciated the baby gate and used it to block the stairs for our toddler. Our family enjoyed playing cards on the back patio and walking to the little beach by the house. We were able to find a few shark teeth and other fun treasures. It was a nice getaway! Thank you!

Charming Beach Cottage
Just a block from the Chesapeake Bay, this cottage is well represented as listed on the VRBO web page. My visit was for a family re-union on my Mom's 95th birthday so I didn't get a chance to kayak or swim in the bay, perhaps another time. I would love to come stay here again.

Great place to stay at the beach
Have stayed at different properties in this community over the years on vacations. Really liked this place. Really nice loft style house that was very charming. Great back porch and upper deck with views of the bay. 2 minute walk to beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. Very well stocked with everything you would need and don’t think to bring, including things for the beach. It was a pleasure to meet Patti as she was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

This house was amazing. The photos make it look much smaller than it really is. The house was STOCKED. We marveled at all of the kitchen supplies. It was so clean and comfortable.
