First, location. Just minutes by car from downtown Berlin, MD, it was so quick and easy to visit, park and take in the shopping, dining, homemade ice cream, coffee, and even a record store. It was also a fairly quick trip to the beaches of Assateague National Seashore (and MD state park equivalent). All the beauty of the Outer Banks w/out the long drive from where we live near D.C. Also close to a brewery and a winery, again, 10 minutes by car.
OK, that's location. Now for the house itself - comfortable beds, air conditioning (which was needed), and a great kitchen to cook many meals in. There is a terrific space out back with grills, bar, TV, fridge, and plenty of comfortable seating. Fenced in so dog friendly. We sat here many mornings before it got hot, drinking coffee and reading. Evenings were nice, too, as decorative lights come on. Further back is a separate fenced in section if your dog needs more space to run.
Host - Laurie has all the local intel on where to eat, shop, and where is best to go on the beach. Her recommendations did not let us down. She is super helpful and we enjoyed meeting her.
