Relaxing retreat
The property was secluded and relaxing. If you wanted to be active, there are opportunities on the water, or on the land. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. The house is full of interesting collectibles. The host was very helpful and attentive to guest needs.

A Peaceful Escape by the Water – Just What You Need
Had a wonderful, peaceful vacation right on the waterfront. The location was perfect, offering great views and direct access to the water. We had a lot of fun crabbing and fishing off the dock. Having access to kayaks and canoes was a fantastic bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable. The owner, Randy, was very helpful and always available to answer our questions. Overall, it was a great experience, and we truly enjoyed it.

Seclusion was great, property was not welcoming
This property's seclusion is excellent. There is a lot of wildlife on land and water. However, as the owner will state, this property is not right for everyone. Read the reviews. The reviews do not cover what I am listing below. I debated not even rating it. Things not described in the listing: 1) External cameras everywhere. They are very overt and make you feel uncomfortable. I do see a need for some sort of camera system. This was an overkill. 2) Yes, there is Wi-Fi, but good luck with it. It is hit or miss. Due to signal strength, I believe it is located elsewhere on the property. This was very spotty. Yes, we wanted seclusion but ensure you download all your books and content before you show up. 2) Ants on the countertops and built-in dining table. The ants were present on arrival, and filled traps were found in both locations. 3) Ensure you read the rule book and rules on the refrigerator. This is where you will learn that trash needs to be taken with you, how to properly use the shower, and other tips for the property. 4) Be prepared for the unique features of this property. It's a converted garage or boathouse, which we could tell from the start. However, it's a handyman's special with exposed wires, a light fixture hanging open in the kitchen, and missing or dislodged baseboard moldings. Also, please be careful on the upper deck as some boards are rotted through, and there is a possibility of falling through. Recommend updating photos.

We enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of activities, crabbing was fun, fishing was great as well. Like any other place in America bring sunscreen and bug spray. It wasnt bad just enough to warrant protection. Great outdoor activities and will not have time to do everything. We will be returning next year to continue our adventures.

The stay was great if you don’t mind cameras watching you. Propane tank was empty, couldn’t sit on balcony because straw would go up my ass from the crappy chairs. Stove top was dirty with mysterious fluid. It was what it was. Plenty to do in area. Plenty of undersize crab available- we threw them back.

Great access to the water!
We really enjoyed our stay! We spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch and on the dock. Caught lots of crabs, harvested some oysters and had some great meals with them. Access to the water was our prime reason for renting and this place did not disappoint! It is roomy, beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware. If you're a bug magnet like me, be sure to use spray—even on the porch—those "No see-ems" are ferocious! Owner is a good guy who seems to really want his place to be enjoyable for his renters—communication was great!

Quiet, secluded
My husband and I wanted a quiet get-away for a few days to unplug and relax. This property is the perfect place for that! It is a beautiful.setting - we took advantage of the canoes and even went crabbing. It rained one day so we decided to drive into town (15min) to visit a lovely antique mall. Perhaps we were inspired by all of the wonderful antiques which decorate this house! Randy (the owner) is very accommodating and responsive to the questions we had. The T.V. reception is questionable at times, but there are many movies available on DVD. We enjoyed the huge screened in back porch and sitting on the dock watching the osprey (never did see the eagle but we saw his nest). Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We had fun crabbing off the dock. Using the canoes was a good way to pass the time. Kids had a blast. I will say there is not 3 bedrooms. Upstairs there is one official bedroom. The second bed is in an open area at the top of the stairs. The 3rd bedroom is just the pull out sofa in the livingroom. It was fine for us with just two kids who shared a bed but if other couples are going that would be nice to know. We had originally booked this place because it had a boat ramp. Upon booking and speaking with the owner I was informed that our boat could not go out from his ramp and we had to still drive to a local ramp. Which was not far but again that was the main reason for booking this house. His ramp is more for just the canoes and jet skis. Also the dock pictured in listing where the boys are crabbing is not his dock. It is the neighbors dock....which is another reason why we had thought we could put our boat out there. If you are looking for a very secluded place to stay this is a great place. We enjoyed the quiet for sure.

Hacksneck 2023 Vacation
We had a great vacation at this house with our friends and family. The water was deep enough for us to keep our 21’ Mako, even with the low tide. We enjoyed several meals of fish and crab caught right off the pier, or off our boat. If you don’t have a boat, there are also kayaks and canoes to use to take in the scenery. The screened porch was great for getting out of the sun and enjoying the evenings, when we weren’t sitting by the outdoor fire pit. The kitchen is small, but it has much of what you need, as well as grills and a crab pot outside. There is a combination of antiques and interesting/amusing items in and out of the house. We enjoyed finding something new each day. There are 2 queen beds upstairs, with a pullout sofa and loveseat. Downstairs is a large couch and another pullout sofa. The pullout isn’t the most comfortable, but we had an air mattress that worked just fine. I would suggest a little more storage for guests to store their food and clothing. In the upstairs bathroom, towel hooks would be nice for guests sharing the bathroom. There is a Roku upstairs, but if you need tv, you can also bring your own Firestick or Roku for the other tv’s. We were so busy having fun, we didn’t really need to.

Peaceful Waterfront Stay
Rural area, very quiet and peaceful. Very nice dock. We used the crab pots and actually caught decent size crabs that we steamed. Enjoyed watching the tides on the creek rise and fall, listening to all the birds and having coffee on the dock. Screened porch is very nice. Our dog loved running around. Thank you for being pet friendly. We grilled most evenings but we took lunch time rides to nearby Onancock, Watchpreague and Chincoteague. Great place if you want to get off the grid for a bit. Thank you Randy

A very pleasant stay
My wife and I and our 9 month old puppy spent 3 extremely enjoyable and relaxing days at Rockin Rando’s home over the Thanksgiving holiday. We found the description on the website to be accurate, communication with the owner (Randy) was outstanding, and the house had everything we needed for a great stay! The house is a tad rustic but was very clean and cozy and spacious. We slept in the First Mate’s Quarters and it was quite comfortable with a great view. There are also a ton of interesting and unusual collectibles and antiques for viewing pretty much everywhere you go inside and out, which was fun in itself! We were lucky to have a couple of 60 degree days in late November so we spent most of our time enjoying the screened in porch, the dock, the kayaks and the beautiful scenery. The yard and surrounding area were perfect for our puppy to run and play and explore. A good time was had by all and we will definitely consider staying there again in the future.

This place is located in a beautiful part of the eastern shore. It was NOT as represented online. The online description says that it is a three bedroom home. It is actually a one bedroom home with a large loft. So all sleeping areas are upstairs and there is an exit to a deck from the loft area which is unable to be opened. Creating a safety hazard for those people sleeping there. The listing also says there are three bathrooms. This is a false statement there are two bathrooms and an outdoor shower. The outdoor shower simply has a showerhead and faucets no other bathroom amenities. There are 360° cameras posted along the outside of the house. This makes the outside shower feel a little uncomfortable When we checked in the floor was incredibly dirty and there was a thick layer of dust on all of the items on the shelves. Many of the items on the shelves were interesting antiques but we couldn’t get past the fact that it was really dirty. When we went to look at the bedroom the one bedroom there were dirty sheets on the bed. The front door will not lock from the inside so the only way to secure it is by sticking a wooden dowel in the tray where the sliding door opens. This did not instill a sense of safety to us. I sent the owner photos of the dirty floor in the bed and the door that wouldn’t open and he would only give me the cleaning fee back. We only stayed one night. The location was highly misrepresented online
