It has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across two floors and is advertised to sleep up to 12 guests (with possible additional accommodation by request). Guests should expect stairs to enter and to move between levels.

Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning, heating, washer, ironing board, cable TV, and free Wi‑Fi. Six TVs are available for streaming with guests’ own logins.
Outdoor Space
Outdoor living is a focus here, with two large porches, a balcony/deck off the kitchen area, and a walk-out patio that faces the water. An outdoor grill supports cookouts, and the yard and canal-view setting are repeatedly highlighted as part of the stay experience. The home is smoke-free.
Location & Nearby Dining
The home is within walking distance of several Chesapeake City dining options, including Schaefer's Canal House, The Bayard House Restaurant, Tap Room Inc, and Chesapeake Inn Restaurant & Marina. Chesapeake City Docks and Chesapeake Inn Marina are nearby for waterfront scenery and activity. For air travel access, Wilmington Airport is the closest listed airport (about 23,956 m away), with larger hubs such as Philadelphia International Airport also within driving range (about 61,739 m away).
Best for
This home suits families and multi-couple groups who want a waterfront, canal-view base with room to spread out, thanks to 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and two separate family-room-style living areas. It also fits travelers who plan to dine out and explore on foot, with multiple restaurants and the canal-side area nearby, plus free parking for day trips.
Travel tips
Plan for stairs: there are steps to enter the house and to move up and down between the bi-level floors, which can matter when arriving with groceries and luggage. The stay uses keyless entry with an access code provided shortly before arrival; exterior-only security cameras and a motion floodlight/doorbell camera are in place. For flights, Wilmington Airport is the closest listed option, while Philadelphia International Airport offers a larger hub within a longer drive.
What guests say
Reviews emphasize the peaceful setting and standout canal views, with the yard and outdoor space frequently noted as a highlight. Guests also mention the convenient location near a walking trail and nearby restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the waterfront town atmosphere. Inside, the home is often characterized as spacious, with a newer, roomy kitchen and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for groups. A recurring caution is the number of stairs to get into the home and to navigate the bi-level layout, which can be challenging when carrying luggage or supplies.
