About Rick Tancreto
I'm surrounded by my 5 amazing grandchildren - the joy of my life. All children are special to me and for that reason I've written a series of children's illustrated books titled Hang On to Jesus! Adventures. It is my hope that these books will help provide children and their parents with a Christian foundation.

Fun-filled Family Playground
We had the most amazing trip to ricks house on St George’s Island! The house was fully stocked with any spices and cooking ingredients and toiletries and first aid supplies that one might need. The best part of the house was the outside recreation. Rick has a giant shed that is filled with recreational equipment. From ladder golf to corn hole, lawn darts to kayaks, rafts and oars to crab traps - the shed has everything to make this vacation a fun filled week for family members of all ages.
We had children as young as three and four years old enjoying the kayaks with their older cousins. The older kids fished off the dock and caught crabs with the help of their aunts and uncles.
The sun set off the beach is like a picture perfect painting every single night. If you have a large family, this is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors together. The outdoor eating area makes for an easy cleanup – and the kitchen has any appliance you might ever need. To help feed your large group, there are crockpots and warming plates. The large kitchen island is perfect for a buffet set up. Because we had small children, we wanted to avoid the little kids having any accidents with any of the beautiful items Rick has in the house. He has a gorgeous collection of lighthouse sculptures and other artwork. Upon our arrival, we moved all of the breakable items into the dining room and tied the doors together with twine to prevent the young children from entering. This actually worked amazingly well! We all referred to the formal dining room as the “museum“ and allowed the children to look at it through the glass but not enter! The plan worked. All of the beautiful items remain completely intact through the week!
Because of the number of guests, we requested that extra twin beds be set up in various bedrooms in the house to accommodate some of the children. Just as promised, Rick had set up the twin beds fully made with linens and comforters and pillows exactly where we had requested them.
When looking for houses that could accommodate such a large number of people, we found several options that seemed large enough, but we’re not particularly clean or well appointed. The house on Saint George’s Island provided all of the things that we wanted -and somethings that we did not even know we would want until we had them – like a horseshoe pit – or a volleyball net – or bicycles.
It was truly an exceptional experience!
Rest and relaxation
Plenty of space for everyone. Amazing views of the Potomac river. Spent many hours on the dock fishing. Every type of yard game is in the outdoor shed for you to use. All features of the house are updated. Only reason to leave property is to get food.
Our large family had a great time. This was our 2nd visit to Ricks house in the last 5 years.
Idyllic
What can I say that has not already been said? At the risk of being repetitive: Rick has paid considerable attention to detail furnishing the house, the shed, garage, pier and horseshoe pit (sand box for the little ones), and the garden. The house and kitchen were immaculately clean. In the kitchen, if you need most any utensil, it's there: Most small appliances, there. There are laminated instructions on how to use some of the household, kitchen and shed items, a book where needed items are to be found and how to use them. If you're still baffled, call, text or email Rick. A more accommodating property manager we've never had. Thank you, Rick.
This was our 50th wedding anniversary with our 3 children, their spouses and our 6 grandchildren. Rick brought an ice cream cake for the occasion. The kids had a variety of clean indoor and outdoor toys to play with. We biked, crabbed, fished, kayaked, swam and collected sea glass. This was the perfect place to relax with family away from all the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives.
Best house we've ever rented
The owner of this property has thought of absolutely everything! Upon check-in (very easy, the owner had sent us everything well in advance) we saw that the property was spotlessly clean, very well appointed, and absolutely beautiful. From the view in the living to the view (and thoughtful table) at the end of the dock, we spent the entire week gazing at the water and the stars. The water is warm and inviting, our kids spent hours in it every day. The owner has tons of water toys all very clean and perfectly arranged in the shed for his guests to use. Perhaps the best part - and toally unexpected - were the crab pots, bait, and crab cooker all waiting for guests! We had crab most nights (as an appetizer). The kids LOVED setting and pulling the pots. Thank you for a great vacation!
The best we've seen
My extended family has been vacationing together for 14 years. :) This is the single best place we've been so far. Everything is there - from baking pans, to spices, to tents/canopies, to... well, pretty much anything we wanted. The only reason we're not back this year is that the people who were in the house just before us booked it for next year on the dates we had already planned! LOL Rick is great; very helpful and responsive. We'll definitely be back if we can.
2019 Family Vacation
We will be coming back again, I think that it the best review. Our extended family has rented houses on the Chesapeake, 2 of the NY Finger Lakes and several ocean spots in NC / SC. This is the first time we agreed to repeat a house. It had everything we needed, usually we are packing extra cooking items, sometimes, linens, etc. We didn't need anything extra with this house. We bought a few games for the kids, but really didn't need those either. Caught some crabs, which were let lose by my Sister when I went to the store. Next year, I will be eating them! Rick was awesome in every way. Great place for a family vacation!
