The property was beautiful, warm, and very comfortable. Our host, Jennifer, was more than accommodating and was responsive to all questions. We would definitely stay or recommend staying at her home without question. Thank you Jennifer!

Relaxing Stay Our family of 4 stayed here for 7 days and it was so secluded and far away touristy areas.The property was 5 stars. The layout and furniture were beautiful and clean.The beds so comfortable!The only drawback was the bay was not so enjoyable due to the bugs and we couldn’t swim in the water due to the mucky waters.Lots and lots of Horseshoes crabs… all dead and the smell is bad at times.

Perfect getaway!
Clean, well maintained, well equipped, all the comforts of home, plus the beautiful view of the bay. Quiet, yet not far from the hustle and bustle of tourist places and great dining. We had a great time and plan on returning.

Absolutely Amazing
This place was absolutely amazing. My boys loved all the sea life they were able to see and explore. They flipped over so many horseshoe crabs. Jennifer was amazing at responding to any questions we had prior to our stay and while we were there. We will definitely be back!

As always, the house and property were clean, well appointed, and very comfortable. This is our third or fourth stay and it never disappoints.

Our second stay at the Summer House was just as peaceful and lovely as our first visit. The home is comfortable and has everything we needed for the week. Mother Nature offered us a crazy weather week from gorgeous sun and light breezes to thunderstorms and rainbows. Thank you to Jen for being a wonderful host.
