All in all, we had a wonderful week at Sunset Bay. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 one small child. In fact, the property is geared really nicely to children. We really enjoyed the paddleboards and kayaks. We also used the pool every day as the water was really nice & not to cold. The house also had all the supplies we needed. We had a little issue with some standing water on the property thanks to mother nature. Had to contact the host and Michael was very responsive. Created some wonderful family memories & thanks for sharing your home.

Great Place i an amazing location
We stayed here for our annual family trip and had a fantastic time. The house was well-stocked and had everything we needed, including a great selection of watercraft—kayaks, paddle boards, and more—which kept both the kids and adults entertained. The private beach was absolutely beautiful and a highlight of our stay. We typically started our mornings there and then made our way back to the pool in the afternoon, which was just a short walk from the beach.The pool was one of the best we've had in a rental—clean, well-maintained, and serviced twice during our stay. Communication with the owner was excellent throughout the process.The only slightly odd thing was the layout of the upstairs bedrooms. There are four, but you have to walk through two of them to get to the fourth. It wasn’t a problem for us since we were all family, but it’s something to be aware of.The air conditioning worked great on both floors, which made the stay even more comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return!Wife wasn't best but who cares and this got the kids outside ! it worked enough !

Big, beautiful, comfortable home situated on quiet and relaxing waterfront property. This clean, well-appointed home has all you need to enjoy a laid back and memorable time with your family. All nine of us enjoyed our time at Michael’s home. We swam in the pool, took the kayaks out, went for jogs, and enjoyed the fire out at night.

Beautiful home
The home is perfect for families of all ages. Some of us wanted to just relax on the screened in porch reading a book or enjoying the views of the water, the sunsets were incredible! Others were more adventurous and had a blast kayaking, paddle boating and fishing off the dock. We had a brief issue with the air conditioning. The owner was very prompt in handling it and had a repair man there within a couple hours to fix the problem.

Great Waterfront Property
We visited with our family with ages ranging from 5-66. Everyone enjoyed their stay. There were plenty of things to do on the water (kayak, SUP, fish, etc). The pool was a great place to cool off. The house was secluded but close enough to town to pop in for dinner, supplies, etc. We had a blast!

The best vacation! We rented another property on the eastern shore for 20 plus years, so were a little apprehensive about the change. Sunset Bay was just perfect. Can't wait until next summer!

Beautiful home with a variety of Options
The home and property are lovely. Plenty of open space inside and out for our family of 9...6 adults and three children. The kitchen is well equipped and I do believe Michael has thought of just about everything for adults and children(toy room) throughout. The pool is wonderful! It is well maintained as is the property itself. We spent everyday in the pool or on the screened in porch.
We are not enthusiastic boat people but kayaks and paddleboards are available. Getting those items into the creek do present a challenge. Make sure you bring bug spray if you spend a lot of time outside.
Overall a 5 star rating.

Wonderful vacation rental for extended family
We recently stayed with a family party of 15 at this wonderful home and had the best time. The kids adored the zip line and crabbing off the dock. Everyone loved kayaking and paddleboarding and of course the pool. There were amenities galore to use at the house like pool floats, life jackets, etc. Our youngest family member enjoyed the kids
corner and we played many games provided at the house. The ping pong table was a nice touch.
We had to get a little creative with sleeping arrangements amongst the rooms that connected to each other and food storage but overall it wasn’t a big deal. Even with so many people, we always had enough bathrooms, showers and hot water. Provided extra pool towels were a great help with how often we used the pool during a very hot week. The AC worked amazing despite how incredibly hot it was outside. We wished we owned a boat to be able to better explore the creek/Choptank River. The beach area was very swampy and wasn’t really usable due to washed up sea grass but that is no fault of the owner, just nature.
The home is quite a bit away from town but that is part of it’s charm. Sunsets were to die for out in the back yard or from the screened in porch. Be sure to bring bug spray in the summer. This area has a thriving animal and insect population as it’s really unspoiled nature. We saw turtles, frogs, crabs, skinks, etc.
We would recommend this property to other families.

Overall experience was great. Property was as described and very well equipped. Listing information should be updated to reflect that linens are not provided and to describe the arrangement of the bedrooms to indicate entry into two bedrooms requires you to walk through another bedroom.

This home was beautiful, inviting, homey and perfect for our family of 16. We didn't leave the whole week! We enjoyed sitting under a tree reading, swimming in the pool, paddleboarding, listening to the grandchildrens laughter as they played in sand, ziplined, caught crabs, played ping pong, and used their imaginations. The home was spotless when we got there and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this property!

Waterfront Farmhouse
Delightful, spacious property with a fantastic patio and screened porch that overlook the water. Perfect viewing spots for sunrise and sunsets. The in-ground pool was an option for some of our group that preferred to swim instead of kayak. Very clean and fully appointed with all the cookware and flatware needed for our family of 9 adults. Michael is an excellent, communicative host who is constantly working to satisfy his guests.
