We are already looking at dates to return later in the spring or early summer to try and enjoy the beautiful beach in some warmer weather. ##### Lucy K.

It is the perfect beach house and beach for a family and dog who loves the water. We have never been to such a quiet and secluded beach. The house was spotless and we wanted to nothing. The hosts were in regular contact and made sure we had everything we needed. We will be back. ##### Ben Y. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah L.

We loved the house (it's really as perfect as it sounds) and the location and the description is accurate. I will note that in our July stay there were a significant amount of jellyfish in the water, which prevented a lot of swimming, but that is par for the course for the Chesapeake I believe. We LOVED kayaking around the backwaters and there was a lot to explore. If you are looking for a quiet place to spend time as a family, this is your place. My only recommendation would be to have some sort of "book" with info about the house and posting wifi codes physically somewhere in the house. Would have made it easier to figure things out upon arrival and having all info in one place would be easier. ##### Sarah L. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Holly H. Feb 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nearly-Perfect Stay Not my first rental in the Scotland area and was not disappointed! Jocelyn was communicative and kind and the house was lovely, cozy and clean. The house wasn't 100% ready at check-in, but she gave us advance notice and as it happened, we were running behind anyway. The property is well equipped, steps from the beach, has a beautiful backyard for warmer months, and was a great size for two couples and an infant on a winter retreat.Our only complaints were the tap water (very smelly and not pleasant to shower in, much less to drink - definitely bring your own bottled water), the lack of access to the game shed in the winter (the photos did not imply that this was a seasonal offering - maybe our mistake?) and the lack of storage in the kitchen. The owners have tons of food, kitchen equipment, and a huge selection of platters and dishware available, which seems like a perk until you try to fit your groceries somewhere. The small amount of counter space is also chock-full of decor (not unlike the rest of the house), so with the four of us cooking three meals a day we had to keep most of our food in the laundry area. For a longer trip, this would have been a bigger issue, but a small nuisance in comparison to everything else about this lovely home. Overall, the Hideaway clearly takes hospitality seriously, has a good cleaning crew and a spectacular location. We hope to visit again someday! ##### Holly H.

This property was absolutely beautiful. It is located in a very remote area down a dirt road. There are just enough neighbors that you don’t feel alone but you basically have the beach to yourself. The landscaping is gorgeous. There’s a feeling of being outdoors while you are indoors. I could wake bathed in the sunlight coming into this home every single day for the rest of my life. You can see the bay from the front of the house and gorgeous marsh area in the rear of the yard. The hosts thought of everything you could possibly need. There’s everything from a toddler potty seat to doggy poo bags! The game shed was so much fun and is air conditioned. There are more games in the house. The beds were very cozy which was nice after a long drive. Jocelyn was very kind and communicative. I traveled alone with my children to celebrate the memory of my late husband. I was nervous and overwhelmed but this property and Jocelyn made it so stress free and helped me create beautiful memories with my children. ##### Natalia A.

I love the Chesapeake Bay and have rented many homes on both sides of the Bay over the years. The Hideaway is my favorite. It is cozy and comfortable and very nicely decorated. The seasonal decor was adorable too. The location was incredible. I love a place where I can see the stars in that way that almost makes it seem like you can touch them. The beach was close and amazing and we did hunt some sea glass, which is my absolute favorite thing to do. The backyard is amazing. One of my friends called it an "oasis" and it truly is. But what I loved most about this rental was the thoughtful touches. Anything we could want was there and many things we didn't know we wanted until we saw it. The smore's station, the many throw blankets, the stocked kitchen, the fire pits, the incredibly comfortable beds, the access to Netflix -- just all of it. Simply perfect. And the communication with the owners was also amazing! They gave us great restaurant recommendations and answered any questions we had practically immediately. This was an amazing girls' weekend away to celebrate my birthday and we had the best time. Every single person on the trip wanted to stay longer and we've already decided this will be an annual event. Thank you for putting together such a truly special place. ##### Jessica L.

Get your fishing license, read up on crabbing laws, and have fun! We found sea glass, decent-sized male crabs, and caught a flounder. ##### Samantha B.
