This property could not have been cuter and Jocelyn has thought of everything you could possibly need. The kids play shed kept them busy for hours and the backyard was an oasis!
Really enjoyed our time here. The outdoor space in the back was great with the swing and the fire pits. Our kids loved walking to the beach everyday and catching crabs.
Our Texas family loved our stay at Hays Beach hideaway! The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need. Just a short walk (60 seconds) to the beach and we were crabbing and enjoying the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen! Owner was very responsive and offered information about the area. Family enjoyed the bicycles, yard games, beach supplies, crab equipment, kayaks, and very comfortable beds. Home was very nicely decorated inside and out and clean and comfortable. A most enjoyable stay we will be back!
We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway in Hays Beach. We were coming up to see our 93yr old Grandmother who lives about 45 minutes away. Our families rented two homes in the area and were able to enjoy our time with three generations that aren’t able to see each other often. The home was exactly as shown, perfectly decorated and incredibly well stocked! We’d absolutely come back!
A wonderful place to just relax. We loved being able to walk on the beach as well as just sit in the backyard relaxing and chatting! House is clean and well-stocked and had different areas for gathering!
We had a fantastic stay. The house is fully stocked with everything you may need and more. Quick stroll to the beach. I must dint want anyone to know about this as I don’t want this little slice of heaven overrun with guests.
Our multi-generation family had an enjoyable stay! Host was quick to respond to our questions and was very helpful/friendly. We hope to be back in the near future!
I booked the Hideaway last minute and was the best decision! The home is VERY clean and well stocked. The game room and beach toys/kayaks were perfect for our short stay! We had the best time hanging out at the firepit roasting marshmallows! We will definitely book again when we return!
This place was amazing place to stay. Our family stayed there and we had a epic time it's definitely one of the best family vacations we had in a long time. Jocelyn is a perfect host she goes above and beyond to make sure your happy and enjoying your stay. A++++++++ Experience!
Wonderful house in an amazing, remote location. Just footsteps to a sublime, quiet beach. Ideal for families looking to get away from the city for a break and to enjoy nature. House very thoughtfully and creatively decorated, full of charm, and also practical and well-equipped. Wonderful garden and back porch. Easily merits 5/5!
The Hideaway at Hayes beach is perfectly situated to enjoy the outdoor offerings. The backyard is lovely and has everything you need to relax and be outside. We saw all sorts of birds, a fox, skinks and little frogs. The kids loved it. What a wonderful, relaxing week.
This rental property is a hidden gem! Perfectly situated near a crabbing creek (we caught a lot of blue crabs), it's ideal for family adventures. As parents with small children, we found it to be one of the best rentals we've stayed in. The thoughtful hosts have stocked the place exceptionally well - from coffee to cookware and toiletries. Everything we needed was at our fingertips, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. The backyard is a standout feature, with a fire pit for cozy evenings. Highly recommended for families looking for a well-equipped, convenient, and enjoyable getaway!
This was our second stay at the Hideaway. We have come to love Hays Beach like a second home. The backyard is beautiful and feels like stepping into a private park. When the sun got a little hot, we spent time hanging out in the sunroom, which also became our bird-watching spot in the evening. We have already started planning for our next trip to this stunning property.
The house is perfect for family or a small group of friends. It’s very loving furnished and decorated. The kitchen has everything and beyond. The backyard is a true jewel. It has enough space to have a small sunset party (the vistas are stunning) or have some activities with kids. The sea shore is just a short walk away. We loved every bit of our stay.
My family and I had the most amazing time at the Hideaway at Hayes Beach. This is by far one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. The setting is so picturesque and the private beach community is great. Jocelyn has taken care of every detail inside and outside the home going above and beyond to provide all the amenities to her guests. Jocelyn was so quick to respond to any inquiries we had while there and also made great recommendations prior to our arrival. We can’t wait to come back!
Our recent stay at "The Hideaway" was wonderful. The bay-front view was breathtaking and immediately set the tone. The cottage was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities we needed.
The host, Jocelyn, is incredibly welcoming and gave us great local recommendations. If you're looking for a tranquil getaway with attentive hosts, this is the place.
We can't wait to return. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!
Our dog, Rio, told us this was the best vacation of his life. 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.
This was the first trip we have taken our 6 month puppy on. He enjoyed every second of it, and so did we. The house has everything you could ever need, and more!
Jocelyn was a great help in providing us with recommendations and really help make the trip something special.
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.
A quiet get-away in a delightful bungalow with all the comforts of home, and more! It has a sunroom to enjoy morning coffee and nightly cocktails. The outdoor space, is by far, the best we've encountered so far with a stand-alone game room and lounge area, two fire pits (wood and gas), seating galore to bird watch or enjoy a night of stargazing. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the trimmings like spices, and foil, etc. Such an enjoyable stay and a fine respite from the daily grind. Hoping to be back soon!
This is a great place to stay. 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.
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.
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!
Two words to describe the Hideaway at Hays Beach = magical and thoughtful. 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.
Hideaway at Hayes Beach was amazing It was a wonderful place to spend Christmas with our family. We were lucky enough to get snow! My husband and I enjoy walking so it was a prefect place to for it. Would definitely recommend this place
