Couldn't have asked for a more perfect place conveniently located right across from the park and a great restaurant. The kids enjoyed the park we were able to walk the water front and enjoy the scenic beauty of St. Mary's. The house was clean and well decorated with all the amenities we needed.

This is my first time reserving and staying in an Air B&B, and I was impressed with the communication. The place was delightful, especially during the day with the blinds open. My favorite things were the artfully done hooks in our bedroom and the bathroom - so convenient! And the large porch. Two items that would have been helpful to know: That we needed to pull into the parking place across grass at the side of the house -- we got there at night and couldn't easily figure that out. And also how to manage the dehumidifier in the kitchen. Thanks very much.
