This was the perfect house for our group. It was definitely an older home, with lots of antiques and a lot of character. It couldâve been slightly cleaner. Also of the space was occupied with owners things which tended to clutter and make it hard to make use of all the space for fear of disrupting owners things. There was mail in kitchen, dressers were full. It felt like we had stepped into a lived in house as guests. The bathroom was well stocked, the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean, the antique carpets needed a cleaning. The outdoor space was amazing, we didnât get a chance to use the canoe, but wish we did! We would definitely stay again.

My family and I enjoyed staying in this house because of its charm and history. It had so many beautiful antiques (so we were careful with the toddler) and the house itself was from the 1800s. The air conditioning worked well, and the were enough comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms for our group. The best part for me was the gorgeous grounds right on the peaceful water!
Beautiful 19th (?) century manor-type house that sits on a tidal creek with wonderful views and spectacularly landscaped grounds. Inside is very warm, inviting and comfortable. Downsides are are a smallish kitchen, terrible wifi (which the owner acknowledges in the description and is looking to fix) and at least one lumpy bed. The 6th BR doesn't work well since it is hot and doesn't have direct access to a bathroom. Those drawbacks are way overshadowed by the character of the place. I've rented this place 4 or 5 times and will do so again. It's wonderful.
A group of friends rented this property for the weekend to ride Le Tour de Shore bike ride which started in Onacock. The screened in back porch was awesome. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in. Plenty of rooms for the six of us. Lovely setting. No issues with check -in.
Sycamore Bend is a beautiful and historic property overlooking an inlet off of the Chesapeake Bay. The house is extremely comfortable and spacious, and every room contains interesting historical objects and fine antique furniture. Cellular service is a bit iffy, but that is part of its charm and very relaxing atmosphere - fewer phone calls! The owner was a pleasure to work with, and we hope to stay there again someday.
