Host was Very hospitable friendly neighbors and comfortable beach house.
The house was amazing and the short walk to the private beach was even better! Everyone we met was so kind and helpful! We found a few sharks teeth while there too! We can wait to come back!
Easy community beach access was by far the best feature of this rental. We spent most of our days on the quiet beach just down the street either fishing, swimming or shark tooth hunting. Everything you could ever need was provided in the house as well.
This is our second stay here. Honestly, I hope to stay here every time we visit the Chesapeake. Bodhi"s is warm and welcoming, feels like I am coming home. In addition, it is immaculate and stocked with everything one needs.
Our goal - to escape the noisy DMV!
From the moment we arrived - the neighborhood was inviting, private and quiet right next to the Bay! The house was beyond our expectations!
Back for a third year to this town and second at this house and we had a great time with our family. Lots of nice clean towels and always love how well equipped the kitchen is. Spent lots of time on the screen porch this year.
Great property in a quiet, scenic location near the water
We stayed for 3 nights at this lovely property. We enjoyed the quiet, scenic location near the water. The house is in great shape - great amenities, strong wifi signal, lots of entertainment options at the house. Check-in was very easy and intuitive. The location is ideal for exploring southern Maryland. We would definitely stay again.
We housed 6 of our crew members while they were out of town for an event our company produced. Owner was easy to work with and house was exactly as described.
House was great. Screen porch was amazing to be able to sit out and not worry about bugs. The house was fully stocked with what we needed after some small grocery shopping. short walk location to the small beach that the kids never wanted to leave. It was a lovely vacation.
We traveled from Alabama to Maryland to celebrate my mother in law’s 80th birthday. While there we invited some of her family over for a small dinner and celebration. We loved the home. It was decorated beautifully and there was plenty of seating and space. We really enjoyed the screed in back porch. The home is very organized and was not lacking in any amenity! The neighborhood is very quiet and while walking to the private beach we met some residents who were very friendly.
Have stayed at different properties in this community over the years on vacations. Really liked this place. Really nice loft style house that was very charming. Great back porch and upper deck with views of the bay. 2 minute walk to beach. Very peaceful neighborhood. Very well stocked with everything you would need and don’t think to bring, including things for the beach. It was a pleasure to meet Patti as she was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
This cottage is extremely well equipped with everything you need at the beach. Owner supplies linens (including beach towels) beach chairs and umbrella, kyaks, cart to haul it all. It's a very short walk to the private beach. Lovely screened porch and even some garden tomatoes and cucumbers! The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need to cook for friends and family!
We are women, all over 60. Loved the cottage. The description was very accurate.
The kitchen was so well stocked!! Plenty of dvd movies to choose from for our evening downtime. Plus games galore.
The beds comfy.
And so clean.
Walking to the water was pure pleasure.
Easy driving distance to Annmarie Sculpture Garden, as well as various parks such as Calvert Cliffs.
We would stay again.
The property fit our family of 5 adults and 2 children (3 generations) perfectly. It was well-equipped for all our needs - cooking, beach-going, relaxing, playing games, and reading on the screen porch with bay views. It has an easy walk to a lovely beach that wasn't ever crowded. The property manager is nearby, friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. There is a great produce place not far that also sells local meat, dairy, and seafood - and we ate lots of delicious crab! The whole family wants to go back next summer.
House was great. Liked being able to use the compost bin out back. Only negative about the property is that the grass needed cut. Walking through tall grass to get beach chairs and such from the gazebo was a negative. Also the grass was tall around the grill, and the grill has seen better days. In the future, I would look for a property that wasn't so close to other homes, but overall, being my first time using vrbo, it was a good experience and we had a wonderful time.
We use VRBO about 3 times a year for work and vacation. These were the best hosts we have had. They took extra steps to make our Christmas experience with the kids more fun. They even went out and bought ornaments for the kids to put up on a tree they added to the house just for our trip.
The place is tucked away in a special place. Close to DC and many neat features in the area. They even offered more places and things to do to help make our time more enjoyable.
This house is stocked like your grandma’s house and we wanted for nothing. We have 5 kids and they were able to stay upstairs comfortably and my wife and I enjoyed the downstairs area to ourselves in the evening.
Of all the places we have stayed they truly shine above all others as excellent hosts.
All of us agreed that Bodhi's Beach House was perfect. The cottage was charming, beautifully appointed, and comfortable. We were delighted with its proximity to the private beach and access to amenities (such as the kayaks and other gear) that made it easy for us to enjoy as little or as much as we wanted. I urge others to check out the area--a gorgeous mix of hiking trails and wetlands, often leading to stunning views of the bay and hidden beaches.
Patti was an excellent host--friendly and responsive, yet allowing us the freedom to truly relax. Thank you for your kindness! We will do our best to visit again soon!
We stayed here with our children and their grandmothers and all had a wonderful time! The kitchen is well stocked and we had no problem finding cookware or whatever else we needed. Clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into the decor! I loved the colors, so bright and welcoming! We appreciated the baby gate and used it to block the stairs for our toddler. Our family enjoyed playing cards on the back patio and walking to the little beach by the house. We were able to find a few shark teeth and other fun treasures. It was a nice getaway! Thank you!
This lovely beach home is our favorite rental since vacationing at Long Beach for many years. Bodhi's Beach House is so warm and welcoming. The house was very clean upon arrival, and stocked with everything to meet our needs, from cooking supplies to beach accessories. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Just a block from the Chesapeake Bay, this cottage is well represented as listed on the VRBO web page. My visit was for a family re-union on my Mom's 95th birthday so I didn't get a chance to kayak or swim in the bay, perhaps another time. I would love to come stay here again.
Bodhi Bay House is a beautiful home and location, with access directly to very serene waters of the bay. Mary and Patty are welcoming property owners who made us feel at home. The house is unique and spacious. We had everything we needed for our stay, even beach equipment and an abundance of beach towels. We would love to return.
