About this villa rental

The Boat House is built right on the deck overlooking the beautiful waters of the Chesapeake Bay. And we do mean right on the water.

The deck is directly on the water/beach for you to enjoy the spectacular views and sunsets! You are welcome to fish, access the water or simply enjoy the view from this expansive deck.

We also have a large fenced in backyard for your little ones to run and play. Parking is off-street in our driveway. We have 4 seperate units on this property and the deck and backyard, which is enclosed and perfect for your little ones to run and play, can be shared with other guests.

Our single bedroom features two beds - a Queen Size bed and a Twin Size bed. This unit is perfect for a couple and even a small family of 3. We will allow a bit of "piling in" if you have younger children, but any additional bedding or sleeping arrangements will be up to you.

Our kitchen, or kitchenette rather, is small and not designed for cooking meals. We do not have a stove, but do offer a microwave and small counter top toaster oven. This is not the place to cook meals but more of a place to reheat them.

Our bathroom features a stand up shower, toilet and sink. Not big enough for a bathtub.

We have a combination lock on the door which will allow for easy check ins/outs on your own.

**The Dock has been destroyed by a storm and may or may not be rebuilt.

Had a very nice stay. Home is cozy, we enjoyed sitting on the large deck overlooking the bay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
We were three generations of women who just came for the beach. We needed a hot shower and beds. We were within a couple minutes walk to the beach--perfect for us. My mom was only there to get away from home-broken ankle in January so she doesn't walk the sand like she used to. Other reviewers mentioned the lack of transparency of the views--the highway--That highway didn't bother us one bit. We didn't hear it at night and it did not impact our enjoyment of the deck in the evening with a glass of wine. The location is back a bit from the road so we had to walk farther from parking than I'd have liked but I would still stay here again because it felt more private and secure. The owner was there and other tenants of his building. They were all friendly, polite, non intrusive and accommodating. The beach area doesn't have easy access but we used the boat ramp to get to it without too much difficulty. The water had ducks, sea gulls, pelicans, etc. The yard is fenced and large enough for our country dogs to have a bit of a run. We were close to one of our favorite cafe spots, Mudita's! Also close to the Fishing Pier. This is west OV so we did have to travel farther for most other things. I had no issues with the house or surrounding tenants. We enjoyed our usual haunts during our week and would rent here again.

Right site to chill across from the beach

The property was nice, but the deck needs to remodeled completely. There were some renovations but not the entire deck was finished. There is a pier right off the home that is advertised but it’s use at your own risk. One of the pillar is almost completely rotted through and when you walk the thing creaks. You can not go all the way to the end of it because it has collapsed at the end. None of this is disclosed in the details of the listing. The pictures are misleading the beach area is nice, but the neighbors harassed my kids and told them it was their property. The listing says private but we had over 5 people walk up on the deck outside the home ( I have young daughter windows cover this home) and said they were staying at a different house and they had access to the area. It was NEVER disclosed that the deck area like I mean patio right outside the boathouse would be shared. The house is covered in windows it’s a complete lack of privacy of not knowing who is going to walk up when your sitting eating breakfast trying to enjoy the view. The neighbors watch you because anytime you leave for a second they come and poke their heads around and their younger children will harass your children and make them feel unwelcome. Beware their are nails rusted stick out out in areas kids need to be watched a lot. To add to all this the shower was broken. The hose was leaking to the shower head and just poured out the back not pressure to even feel water on your scalp.
