Great house for stay with family

We had a nice stay, the house is a good size space for everyone, and the ping pong and foosball tables were a huge hit! The windows that surround the house to see the water from two views is beautiful. The only down side is that there is only one full bathroom, but we knew that when we booked. There was an issue with the door lock, but once we got a hold of the property manager who connected us with the owner and it was taken care of quickly and easily. They were both very nice and it was no problem.

Republican Oyster Roast

we had a great time and the house was nice, only one issue you need to address is the downstairs bathroom toilet wax ring needs replaced, it leaks out of bottom when flushed, we tried no using it as much and laid a towel down on the floor beside the toilet, the only complaint was the squeaky floors lol.

Kinsale Cove Vacation

This year we took the whole family along with the pets. The kids had a great time fishing and crabbing. The house was big enough and well stocked. Had a great time! See you next year!!!!

Peaceful, beautiful and just wonderful

I gave our kids the choice of beach, river or mountain for our Labor Day trip and they chose river and I am so glad they did. The home was absolutely perfect for our group! We had so much fun. We crabbed, we fished, we played games, ping pong, foosball and we watched a meteor shower on the dock. It was one of those vacations where we all got to reconnect and just focus on being together. It was comfortable and the host provided extra bedding and cots, which allowed the kids to spread out. My only complaint really is the knifes provided do not have a sharp edge, so if you're planning to prep meals, bring your own knife from home. We would absolutely stay again, with no hesitation!

Beautiful spot

If you want quiet and relaxation, you will find it here. The cove is beautiful. There was no one around. We enjoyed afternoons on the dock in the shade. Our kids enjoyed fishing and crabbing. We brought our own paddle board to explore. The house is very welcoming for dogs and had everything we needed! I would love to see addition of a patio or screened in porch in the future or possibly some kayaks! The host was very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Maria

Welcome to Kinsale Cove, my home away from home. After my oldest sons moved out, I wanted to get a home where the family can come together and spend a few days away from the distractions of the big city sounds and crowds.

Why they chose this property

The Kinsale/Sandy Point area is a reasonable drive from the DC area and there are enough activities happening around the towns that makes this house enjoyable. I love that is in a secluded neighborhood and close enough to the marina. Bring kayaks, canoes or jon boats and enjoy what the Yeocomico River has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Kinsale Cove is designed to invite conversation and togetherness. You can enjoy sitting on the dock at dawn with a warm cup of coffee, fishing for crabs, canoeing down the river, enjoying a picnic lunch, grilling your favorite meats and my favorite pass time - sitting by the fire at night watching the stars and moon go by. When inside, you can enjoy a good old fashioned game of charades or challenge others to a game of ping pong.
Life is about enjoying each others company - put the cell phones away and live in the moment.
