Hidden jem
We looked at many properties that were on the water, secluded, and pet friendly. No other option came close. Zero city. All views, stars, water, peace and quiet. Complete with full wrap around fence for the dogs to roam free. Perfect off season location to relax and recharge. Host was easily reachable and we had zero issues. The view from the master bedroom is incomparable.

Natural wonders and recreation on the Bay
I have enjoyed stays in vacation homes over many summer trips. This is the first one where I feel like I could happily return. It's not home, but it was a personal place of comfort and peace. My spouse enjoyed the beauty of the place, especially the sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay. My youngest teen wanted to try to catching and preparing her dinner. On night two, we had traps, bait, and an industrial stockpot courtesy of our hosts which we used to catch and cook our dinner. There was also fishing gear in the barn, but we didn't have time to use it. Our middle daugher was entranced on the third night by stars visible the dark skies overhead as we caught sight of the annual Perseids. On our last night, we went out with our oldest daughter in three of the many kayaks on the property. We explored the marshes and met a couple of watermen plying their trade just outside the marsh. Never had a chance to meet our hosts, but they live only an hour away if we'd needed them. I had several questions before and during our stay. John was promptly available to answer them by VRBO, text message, and (presumably) by phone if necessary. Three things guest should be prepared for are: 1. This home is remote, about 20 minutes from Route 13, the main highway on the Virginia Eastern Shore. 2. House wifi is great, but cell coverage is spotty. 3. The property is on a lush salt marsh, so we encountered plenty of biting insects if we went outside unprotected (in August). YMMV as that's seasonal.

Tranquil Waterfront Retreat
If you are looking for a quiet, canine friendly waterfront retreat, look no further. The home and its grounds are absolutely beautiful and there is private waterfront access to the Chesapeake Bay. My family and I were looking for a place just to get away from the noise and the hustling bustle of Fourth of July weekend. While we did not completely avoid neighbors with fireworks, the entire area was completely quiet by 10 PM. The house itself is very quiet inside. Very well built. There was plenty of space for myself, my three family members, and my dog to spread out and find a comfortable spot. The hammock in the front yard, the porch, or the Adirondack chairs by the water all make for comfortable places to relax. As an avid kayaker, I was thrilled that this property had several boats to choose from so I did not have to bring mine from home and I found the private canal to be an amazing asset. Just throw a boat in the water and paddle out. While the water is tidal, the tides here are gentle and easy for beginner paddlers to navigate. In my 20+ years of kayaking I even managed to get my 65-year-old mother to paddle with me for the first time and she managed wonderfully. I would be remiss if I did not mention how attentive and amazing the owners of this property are. They are very knowledgeable of the area and take great pride in their gem of a home. They really helped to make this trip truly special for myself and my family. Thank you John and Denise.

Lovely home by the water
This is a lovely home by the water. We enjoyed having the dock right there for our boat as well as fishing and kayaking. The house has everything you need to enjoy the area including beach equipment. The owner even provided some local places to check out for dining and a guide to the general area. We had a very hot and humid week which found us inside quite a bit but the screened porch was awesome!

Relaxing vacation 2023
The house is beautiful and matched the description and photos online. I spent a lot of time reading in the screened in porch where it was so peaceful looking at the water views and hearing the birds and seeing the wildlife on the property. Susan provided a list of area attractions which was very helpful so we ventured to Chincoteague and visited the NASA visitor center on our way home. There was a launch scheduled during the week of our stay however due to weather it was postponed. If there were any questions we had, Susan was very responsive with answers. She made sure we had everything that we needed to make our vacation enjoyable.

Rest at it's best
Everything was as expected. We ended up going to Assateague Beach most days by vote of the kids. The bay wasn't exciting enough for them The rental itself is amazing and every room got used. I really enjoyed the screen porch watching the deer and red-headed woodpeckers. During dinner you get to enjoy the Martins protecting against squirrels. Obviously, most sunsets were picture -worthy. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen,,, the oven and cooktop were far above any expectations for her. Our hostess was quick to reply with any questions I had.

We very much enjoyed our week in Susan’s beautiful home. There were spaces to be quiet or right in the middle of family activities. We enjoyed taking the kayaks and paddle boards out for bay paddling. We also enjoyed some wonderful local seafood and sailed in Onancock. My favorite memory is seeing the Assateague ponies. The house was well appointed with everything we needed and Susan quickly answered all of our questions.

Catching Up With Friends
We couldn't imagine a more delightful setting for catching up with friends for a few days. Susan has provided lovely settings for gathering with coffee in the morning, wine at night--screened porches, warm and inviting dining room with a beautiful view of the water, cozy living room adjacent the kitchen so that the conversation continues through meal prep. The decor is charming, classic, filled with paintings that echo the surrounding landscape. This was perfect for us, too, because we brought our small dogs who so enjoyed roaming free inside the picket fenced area. We mostly cooked inside, but did wander over to nearby Onancock for lunch and a bit of sightseeing. We felt so welcomed here. Everything was easy, from check-in to check-out, getting set up with WiFi, choosing what to watch on TV, cooking in the fully equipped and up-to-date kitchen. It felt more like the host had left her home for people she knows and loves rather than the complete strangers that we are to her. I've already shared the link with my daughter and other friends, assuring them of a great place to get away from it all.

Hidden gem of a place!
What a wonderful, wonderful stay of 5 nights in June! Never really wanted to leave the property, was so special. Beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets, very well stocked kitchen, and just many places all over the house to enjoy each room’s own uniqueness and setup! We absolutely lived on the main screened-in porch. Was fun to watch the deer and rabbits from there. our host, Susan, was wonderful and very responsive to any questions, and gave us wonderful suggestions! Our family and dogs enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. The place with the fenced-in yard was a dog’s paradise! We will definitely be returning!!! The area is a slice of paradise and a wonderful spot to just unwind.

Our dogs love the fenced in yard and it's a short boat ride to an island where the pups enjoy swimming and playing on the beach. Susan is so easy to work with and couldn't be more attentive and responsive. We already planning our next trip back.

Our family went to Sunshine Bay for a quiet New Year's to end a busy holiday season and we had a great time. The house is deceivingly large and had lots of nooks for reading or playing games. It is beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal and enjoy your time away. The fenced in yard was great for our dog and we were able to take her for walks down the street as well. Susan was very responsive and accommodating.

My wife, our dogs, and I just returned from a stay at this property and couldn’t be happier. We were looking for a secluded place away from the hustle and bustle of the city with wide open spaces for the dogs to play, and this property met and exceeded our expectations. It is off the beaten path enough to allow you to unwind, but has all the amenities to allow you to never be bored. Really enjoyed watching the sunset from the dock. Hoping for a return stay in the future.
