Ranch at Royal Oak is a great house with a spectacular host. The communication was stellar. The house is in excellent condition with everything you need right at the house. The kitchen is fully stocked with high end towels, linens, utensils, glasses, knives, bowls, plates, etc. The kids and adults loved the pool and fishing on the dock. Access to St. Michael's is very easy. We will be back!

Great Family Vacation
Beautiful, well appointed home. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, utensils, spices, soaps and other basics. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. There were lots of games, bikes and kayaks to keep the kids busy and active along with a nice size pool. The screened porch was a great spot for morning coffee and watching the crab boats go by, and an evening view of sunset over the water. The owner was very responsive to a couple of small issues we had during our stay.

Family time at the Ranch
The Ranch was an awesome spot for our family vacation. We had a massive Easter Egg Hunt on the huge property. The kids actually played in the water on Easter Sunday! Spent time in Saint Michael’s, Easton and Oxford ( all within 25 minutes). The house had plenty of space for us to hang out. Loved the large dining table! Melissa was a great host and kept in touch with me throughout the week. The house had everything we needed. We really appreciated the quick delivery of a fire pit! Thanks again Melissa!

Customer Retreat for Hunting
Upon arrival the house was immaculately clean and very easy to access via keypad access code. We enjoyed watching AFC Football championship game on Sunday in the entertainment room. The bedrooms are all spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen/ dinning area was perfect for our crowd. The Pier offers spectacular views and enjoyed watching wildlife. We will definitely be back here soon and look forward to a summer time visit !!

Just Awesome
Is there anything these hosts didn’t think of? Linens, bath products, kitchen utensils…it truly felt like home away from home. House was spotless upon arrival and host was responsive within minutes of any questions. The setting is tranquil and the waterfront was so pretty. Kids had fun on playground and with basketball hoop. We are looking forward to visiting again.

Bugtussle
The property was well laid out. Location very private.
A few negatives that are easy fixes.
There are companies that can spry acres of area for mosquitoes, spiders etc, this Property is right on the water and it is understood that the area will have insects in the area, however the amount of mosquitoes, tics and flys and small biting insects can be managed and guaranteed to eliminate thes pests.
The other improvement needed is the WIFI it is Horrible, it was almost impossible to connect, with computers and iPADs Mobile devices send emails, or connect to Netflix etc.
Access to enter water off the dock was not an easy entry. Need a ladder or a set of steps from the shore.
It might be some kind of local code not to alter the rock shoreline to prevent erosion but we tried to kayak and it was very difficult and dangerous walking on the wet and sea grass covered large boulders.
These are suggestions for the owners to make a beautiful place to stay, better and more
Guest friendly. Not complaining just offering suggestions to improve the property.
Nice layout and a great house.

Amazing Chesapeake Retreat
We spent a wonderful week at the Ranch with a group of friends that have been vacationing in the area for over five years. The house is beautiful, spacious, and incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed for a week of relaxation. No design detail was overlooked- truly like living in a magazine spread. The combination and layout of bedrooms made everyone feel comfortable - no one was stuck in a random basement bunk room like is so often the case in larger vacation homes. Ryan and Marissa were gracious hosts and we are so grateful to have experienced this slice of Chesapeake a la Austin in our own backyard.

Royal Oak was a beautiful property to host our family leading up to our daughter and son-in-laws wedding at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum! The house is spacious to accommodate large families while providing cozy areas to have everyone gather in the dining areas and game rooms! We loved the pool and kayaking on the bay!
