Hi Bill and Patty,
            We really enjoyed our stay at your lovely cottage.  It is a very special place.  We met Arby and enjoyed talking to him and hearing tales about the area.  We hope to visit again in the future.

 Did not get a chance to thank you for our wonderful stay. We were a day late getting in but still had a great time, just not long enough. I would recommend your place to all others lookingfor a good time in that area. Quite and peaceful. WOW Thanks again for having us. Chris Webster

 Susanne Casterline's comment on Deal Island from: http://www.facebook.com/dealislandvacations It's a small island located on MD's Eastern Shore - the land that time forgot. Where God isn't a dirty word, He's real. The scenery is beautiful and the wildlife, waterfowl and fishing abound. Where people truly care about one another and where the words compassion, humility, honesty and hard work are still a part of their vocabulary. 5 out of

 "Awesome beach adventure!"
My Family had a wonderful stay in your cottage. It was a well maintained property, and clean. We had 4 teenagers, and they were never bored! The beach on Deal Island is small, but very private and most the time we had it to ourselves. At sunset we would go find more glass and shells than i have EVER seen anywhere before. We boated to little deal island where we explored the island. It is a bit on the rough side, but that was its charm. Totally inhabited by anything but pure nature, and its creatures. We found so many strange objects that kept the kids searching for more. We even found a perfect glass bottle from the 30's totally intact on the beach! My husband and i did do some fishing from the boat, and we caught some fish. I even had a crab on the line! We took the option offered to rent he motor boat , where the others rentals didn't offer boat rentals. Arby and his family (and all the locals) were very kind and helpful with everything. We even went to "Luckys" and had our last dinner there, and they even gave me a piece of cake with a sparkler for my birthday which was that day. All in all, it was a very relaxing vacation, and i would recommend it to anyone who wants to get back to the basics of nature and quiet. We made a quick day trip to Ocean City, which made the kids happy, but i hated it and couldn't wait

We had a wonderful vacation! Caught lots of fish including a great big flounder which we cooked for dinner. On our way back into the Wenona Harbor we saw some Dolphins who after we stopped came right up to the boat. That was the first time we have seen live dolphins. The house was really nice. We spent lots of time relaxing on the screened Porch.

Patty & Bill, OMG you have such a lovely place on Deal Island. Terence & I loved it. Everyone treated us so nice and cordial. Arby is the man though....Unfortunately, Terence & I did not go fishing or crabbing because I think we were relaxing and just chillin and enjoying the peace and quiet. The listing description was 100% correct. The property was cleaned and very well maintained. The owners showed excellent customer service and great communication. Please keep me in mind for next year, I would love to come back to do it all over again. I also wrote you a little note and stuck it on the notebook on the counter. Thank you again, Nicole & Terence

A group of five of us went to this house for our spring break. We weren't sure what to expect, but everything was amazing. The house was gorgeous, Arby and his family were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed cooking our own food and using the grill. This break was the most relaxing break that we had ever had. We definitely enjoyed the house. The size was good. I slept on the sofa bed upstairs in the living room and it was so comfortable. All five of us slept better than we had in weeks. It was a total destressor week. The view from the windows were beautiful. One night there was a thunderstorm and the whole upstairs lit up blue with the lightening. I would definitely recommend this property to others looking for a hasslefree vacation house. Bill and Patty were extremely accomodating and they made the process very easy. The island was warm and inviting. There was nothing about the place that we didn't like.There were lots of places to explore and wander and of course the beauty of the bay surpassed our expectations. We had a wonderful time and the memories we made there will forever stay etched in our memories.

Hi Patty & Bill - Thank you for the use of your lovely home on Deal Island last week. We enjoyed our stay very much and particularly enjoyed meeting and speaking with the folks at Arby’s. We found the accommodations to be very clean and comfortable and the location to be perfect for our needs. Despite the heat, we had a good time exploring the island by kayak. And on Thursday evening, from the comfort of your livingroom, we got to experience one of the sudden wind and rain storms that come up on the steamy bay. It was topped off by the sight of a big beautiful red ball dropping below the horizon at sunset. Thank you again for making our visit to Deal Island possible. We hope to return soon.

Dear Patty and Bill, We were looking for a get away place from job stress and school during the school christmas brake and your house was just the thing. We really enjoyed every minute on the island and your house was so nice and comfortable. Even though it looks small from the outside there was plenty of room for the 8 of us. And watching the sun set into the Chesapeake Bay was beautiful. The people on the island were very friendly. They even invited us to their annual New Year Eve community party at Arby's store. Some of us came from Norfolk, VA and some from CT. We highly recommend this house to any one who needs to relax, read a book, and stay in your PJ. We did not even turn the TV on. We enjoyed a TV free week. We did do a little exploring on the island but it was a little cold which we expected. We took sight seeing trips in the car to the nearby towns. We hope to go back in the future and we thank Patty and Bill for sharing their house with us.

Great home and great place to relax. Bill and Patty were able to accommodate us on very short notice and the house was great. The house is very well kept and cozy. There was more than enough room and great views. The small town was quaint and had great fishing spots. I don't think we've ever had a vacation that was so relaxing fun. Thank you Bill & Patty for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We had a great long weekend! The boys loved finding shells on the beach and my dad caught some nice size fish. We enjoyed the house. The owners were easy to work with and returned our deposit quickly.

Hi Patty, Thank you for being so prompt with the security deposit and for sharing your home with me and my family. My son is already asking to go back next year, but for a longer period of time. The bird watching was amazing out there. I saw osprey and an eagle which made my whole summer. Thanks again. I will be in touch in the future.
