After a long day of traveling we r finally headed to the house at 11:30 pm and I go to the VRBO app to look up instructions again to enter the home and there was a new message …. Sorry your reservations have been cancelled . No txt , no Call or help on an alternative place. It was homecoming and football weekend so everything was sold out or hotel prices were sky high.

We had an amazing stay at Mariners Cove! The location was beautiful and peaceful — perfect for relaxing and fishing. The trip was truly unforgettable. The house could use a little bit of work in a few areas, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. My family and I absolutely loved it and would definitely come back again!

Negative part— Carpet was dirty or stained multiple places both floors, dinning chair legs are loose not very sturdy to sit on, shower up stairs main room bath very low pressure out of shower head and refrigerator beeps all the time. Also grill was left dirty from previous stays just get rid of it, not safe on a wooden deck. Main bath also had an outside window that was covered by the vanity window, strange. The house upkeep you can tell its a DIY project. Positive part. Very nice view of the bay which is what your paying for, house has 4 lrg bedrooms, kitchen was a nice size with gas stove and new cabinets, and the furniture was ok given the abuse it gets. Also had ants on the counter in the kitchen but that was taking care of by the people that run or own the place, and they did respond back quick.

Beautiful and convenient location. Only gripe is the cleanliness of the space. The drawers still had leftover food and the bath tub upstairs was filled with water. The sink was clogged with food from previous visitors. There was a lack of blankets. Overall, still a pleasant stay and would recommend. My family had a great time.

Good Enough

Positives that I would like to highlight: wonderful view of the bay and a great location (All the activities we wanted to do were less than half an hour away). Secondly, the home is large and spacious. We booked this place knowing it would meet our needs of a place to sleep and relax after a day's activities. That being said, here were the things that negatively impacted our stay: the home was cold and we had to set the temp higher than normal just to get it warm. The furniture was not in the best condition; we did not use any of the dining chairs and felt safer having our children sit on the couch. The outlets are extremely worn and would not hold a plug. Lucky enough, we brought a power strip and used it to charge all of our devices. The TV was hit or mis, we had to constantly unplug it from the outlet and back in for it to power on. The floors were uneven in a lot of places, some that made you question if it was safe to put all your weight on one foot. Comparing photos again, it looks like furniture was rearranged or some replace. All in, the home appeared mostly the same -- under remodel/repais.

Absolutely Disgusting – Stay Away from This Place! Buyer Beware

This property was an absolute nightmare. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was a complete disaster. The entire property reeked of cigarettes, and the filth was overwhelming. There were stains everywhere—on the carpet, walls, furniture, and even the columns. The fridge was moldy, and the water dispenser on the door was oxidized and full of rust. The living room sofa was broken, and the dining chairs were unstable because of missing screws.To make matters worse, the property had leaks in the ceiling and around the windows, adding to the already disgusting and unsafe conditions. We even had to clean the property ourselves upon arrival. When we complained, the host sent a so-called cleaning lady who was rude, disrespectful, and showed up empty-handed—without a single cleaning supply. She had the audacity to be upset about being called at 6 PM and refused to address the disgusting state of the property.The terrible conditions even affected my health. I was sick throughout my entire visit, likely from the unsanitary environment, and was forced to rent an extra day because I wasn’t well enough to drive back to Florida.As if that wasn’t bad enough, these scammers fraudulently charged my account an additional 300, falsely claiming we left a mess. Thankfully, we had taken before-and-after pictures to prove the condition of the property when we arrived and when we left. When VRBO contacted the host to provide proof of their accusations, they failed to do so. .

Could be a beautiful home

First off…our family did have a great time at this property. The location is perfect and being on the water with the huge dock was awesome! We also the loved upper and lower waterfront decks. The hosts were so nice and so responsive. There was an issue as soon as we arrived that he came to the house and we were able to discuss. Having said that, the inside is in need of repair. The living room furniture is very dated and doesn’t look clean. The carpet is need of removal or replacement. The dishwasher didn’t work and the TV didn’t work. We stayed 2 nights and there was only one towel per person. Only 2 kitchen towels in the entire house and no washer/dryer. The kitchen didn’t have enough coffee cups or plates for how many people the house could sleep. The outdoor chairs on the lower deck are in need of being thrown away. Thankfully we had our own bag chairs in the car. The grill that is advertised is not in working order and is barely standing. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are really nice and large although lacking proper lighting.The house could be so nice. There definitely needs to be some serious TLC on the inside. Stocking the kitchen with more dishes, maybe a pizza pan, pizza cutter, etc and more towels throughout would be a good start. Not sure what we would have done if we had stayed longer with no more towels and no way to wash the ones we had. We all feel like we spent way more on this rental than it was worth.

Not accurate as advertised or equipped as advertised

It was obvious the house was in need of professional work, DIY was very obvious. This four bedroom house that sleeps 11 only had three forks. The kitchen was very sparse, but large. It was a good the store was close that we were able to stock up on plastic and paper products. Unfortunately, this was our Thanksgiving meal with the family. However, the space was large with a beautiful backdrop.

Needs a little more renovation

The draw of this property is the dock and you cannot even hear the road noise from the back. Unfortunately, the renovations are incomplete, the interior lighting is abysmal, and the deck is unwalkable due to the bird poop. If the owners power wash the deck, clean/replace the sofa, replace the kitchen flooring, and add more interior lighting - this place can shine.

Very poor

The original address we opted for while booking on June 10 2023 was something and Then on July 21 morning around 7 AM , I received an email saying that the original property which I chose would not be available and another option would be available. And at this instance, me and my friend's family were already on the way and in no ideal situation to take a look at the alternate property wisely.We had taken a lot of effort choosing the first property keeping kids and families in mind. The description in vrbo claims that it has a waterfront deck open and shareable. But when we took our kids to the deck especially to the long boardwalk, we noticed it was shaky and broken(as attached). And also , there were issues like the bathroom located near the kitchen did not have the latch for closing it from inside. There were no porch lights, it becomes even worse when we are having toddlers. The location had an image of the extended walk on to the bay. When we wanted to go to the deck another person didn’t allow us and told its his property. We did not find basic kitchen groceries I.e. salt,sugar,etc which usually we get after check in. The master bedroom bathroom didn’t have a latch. There were parking issues. There was wrong charges charged to my card while booking and I was told that would be refunded immediately after check out but it had been now more than couple of weeks but no refund is processed.

Great location with awesome view of the Bay

House was nice, looks like the owner is making some improvements. A Washer & Dryer would be nice. Also would recommend more the one dish towel for the kitchen and maybe extra bath towels in the closet. The place has a lot of room. The bedroom had sliding doors that open onto a second deck overlooking the bay. It was beautiful at night. The kitchen is large which makes it great when your cooking the whole time you are away. The best thing was fishing and crabbing off the pier. Over all we had a great time and would recommend this place to stay. Communication with Kathleen was great, she answered all my question.

Boater/fisherman's Dream

My family did an extended weekend at this property. Brought the boat down and tied it up at the dock for the stay. We used the public boat ramp which was just down the street, in walking distance, and a very nice ramp. The pier/dock at the house is sturdy with enough tie off points to secure boat (we have a 21'). you could tie off multiple boats if needed. Plenty of water to get in and out, even at low tide. Close to Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel which offers excellent fishing. We caught a few fish off the dock as well. This would be a prefect property for a guys (or gals) get-a-way fishing trip! We also enjoyed swimming off of the dock; bottom is sand, not all muddy and yucky like some places. House if very spacious, lots of room, comfortable. Enough off-street parking for 4 vehicles. There is also a marina 2 doors down which features a restaurant and small bar (Willoughby Fish House). You can also enjoy a free air show from the Naval Base across the water. Not quiet but cool to watch. We could hear base play the National Anthem in the AM, reveille, and retreat. Lots of cosmetic defects but everything functional. If they fixed all the cosmetic defects and made a few simple upgrades (better grill, permanent ladder on pier, added a washer/dryer, fish cleaning station,) , they could double or triple the price. This is a bargain for a waterfront property with a dock on navigable water. I would defiantly stay here again (especially at this price point).

The house was not kid friendly. Looks like nobody cares about the home or property. Dock Not safe

The house was very dirty. Not what we wanted at all. A local neighbor let their pit bull loose and the dog ran onto the front of the house and attacked my dog. My dog is now in surgery. I am beyond pissed off and I demand a partial refund. The description of the property in the home was a complete joke on the website.

Do not stay here- the house is not as advertised!!!

The online pictures of his properties sure make it seem much more acceptable than what it is (I’d say they were taken many years ago). The house is very run down with patched holes in the ceiling walls that need to be repainted boards pulled up and missing on the deck, the dock is in need of repair and the entire house smelled moldy! The front door actually has a board across it in the inside!!?? Not to mention there is a Boarded up and abandon house directly next-door that seems very sketchy and appears to have people living in it despite looking in livable. It is a terrible eye sore and made the area feel unsettling. The whole area and house need a lot of attention and are unsafe. We walked in and left within 10 minutes and did not stay. The host never offered anything to make it right!! I would not recommend this house or host at all. I wish I could post pictures of what it really looks like!

Read the reviews and believe them. I wish I did.

I relied heavily on these reviews. Host had seemed to have all the right answers in response to the negative reviews. Location was good & the 4 stars seemed enough, esp when our options were running out. Things to note: Front door had a board across it to cover a hole. There are many things like this that were unfinished/could easily be replaced/repaired but instead neglected. Upon entering, you smell the animal urine & mildew. I immediately message host to which she responds that she can get someone to clean the carpet the next day. We didn't want to be bothered during vacation so we declined. We knew this place was “pet friendly”. But what we didn’t know was that there was a pet fee as it wasn’t in the initial details. It’s in there now and we understood the need, especially after experiencing the smell right away. I immediately told her we had our dogs to which she invoiced me $99. I asked her if we could use Venmo as the Vrbo app was acting funny. My sister mistakenly sent her $300 via Venmo. My sister has yet to see the 200 reimbursement for this overpayment and to these messages, she has become silent. This was 2 weeks ago. Please note that I have not asked for a refund or a discount on this stay. I merely asked for the overpayment. Other things she has responded to: recommendations to restaurants, where we can get beach umbrellas, & some recommendations she had when the lights and the electrical outlet went out in the 2nd floor bathroom. We weren’t able to get the lights to work per her recommendations to check the breakers. Here are other things to note: exposed wires in most bedrooms, hardened foam product on things like broken tiles, wood, and carpet holes. Gnat and flies everywhere despite putting food away. No outside furniture. No washer/dryer. No curtains in bathrooms. Warped deck planks. Rain leaked through 1st fl bedroom window, enough to wake my sister in her sleep. I support small business owners but not at the expense of my family and when it risks putting other families at risk as well. The sad part is, most of these are easy fixes. Choose wisely, read all reviews. If you do choose to stay here, come equipped and mentally prepared to be disappointed. Bring air fresheners, cleaning supplies, house slippers & bug repellant. Lots of safety issues & I would not recommend for families with small kids, allergies, and pets. Pros? Location, sunset, & beach was close. We had a great time being together but we learned our lesson.

Great dock

We stayed the week of 7/3 and had a good time. The house is definitely in need of updates/repairs from the front door to the walls, the rugs, broken chairs, excessively chipped tiles in the kitchen, etc. The house sleeps 10 yet there are only 7 plates, very limited small pots and pans (we went to Walmart and bought large pots/frying pan). I was also disappointed that with 2 large decks overlooking the bay, there is no outside patio furniture. Luckily we had brought some chairs with us. And the abandoned house right next door (literally 5 ft away) was creepy but in the end had no impact on our stay. I did not see one bug, critter, mouse, etc the whole week. Overall we had a good week and enjoyed hanging out with our family. The house served it purpose even if it wasn’t perfect. Oh, the beds are super comfy. And the local beach a few blocks away was a peaceful and serene place to relax.

Overall it was a great house! Minor bumps such has upper balcony has a lifted board with nails, bedroom downstairs windows leaked, as it rained our last day that side of the room was completely soaked. If you love nature this is the place for you! We found shells that actually ended up being HERMIT CRABS! Which was very cool to experience, everyday we stayed we found new animals ! From the hermit crabs, jelly fish to the different crabs/fish caught off the private dock! It's across from the naval base, we were able to see them train on the planes and water. Would definitely recommend, passing the minor issues!
