We truly enjoyed our time at Matthew‘s place very, very much. The home is quite new and beautiful. It is in pristine condition and exactly as described and pictured. It is also very good value for that development because we have stayed in other houses, including in another one on the same block, and this home is superior. Everything was as we expected and hoped - easy process communicating and checking in/out, home was so well appointed and nicely decorated, accommodated all 6 of us easily, beds were comfortable, kitchen was very usable and access to the beach is down the block. We actually did not want resort access and did not miss it. We came for the Eastern Shore towns and the seafood and the beach and we got all of that in plenty. There are not a lot of upscale accommodations on the peninsula so this was a welcome find!

This was our second time staying at Matt and family's home and we plan to come back again! The house is clean and very well kept. The hosts have considered everything you may need to enhance your stay. We can't wait to return!

Our family had an amazing time here, we loved this home and would absolutely stay again! The home was beautifully kept and there were so many thoughtful “extras” here and there that we really appreciated!

This was my favorite rental I have ever stayed at. The beach was a short walk/ golf cart ride away. The pool is essentially right across the street. The Main Street of town is a 6 minute drive, the community is gated and is beautiful. The beach was never crowded, water was calm and beach was clean and well maintained. My entire family loved all the amenities the house had, we had kids ranging from 2-14 and they all found things to do. The house was super well equipped, sound machines in each room, plenty of linens, paddle boards, boogie boards, sand toys, beach wagon, fully stocked kitchen with kids dishes etc. Host was very responsive and was proactive and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to stay at Wave Haven!

Matthew is a great host and the property is wonderful. We only had one small issue with a showerhead and as soon as I told him, Matthew had it taken care of. The house is in a beautiful area and it was well thought out in terms of the construction. Lots to do and we will definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful break at Matthew’s place. The property was immaculate with gorgeous furnishings and brand new appliances. It was so relaxing to be there and we loved the Bay Creek facilities. The kids loved the pool with the slides and the beach was beautiful.

Matthew was a spectacular host, the home was very clean, spacious and well maintained. The staff in this community that service the life center and restaurant were also very welcoming and nice. I would highly suggest a stay at this home.

Wonderful new home, extremely clean and a great location. The host was extremely responsive - very detail oriented and all over it throughout the experience. Provides detailed directions and labels everything throughout the home to make it easy for the guests. Clearly takes excellent care of his home and has pride in his house and your experience. I don’t think there is a more responsive and detail oriented host on Airbnb.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Matthew’s place. He was extremely proactive in his communication and every question we might have had was answered in the app or in a message weeks before our trip. We loved the easy access to the beach and the pool was really nice. The house itself had everything we needed and more and was beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable too. There is construction nearby but that didn’t bother us. We will be back!

Best Airbnb we’ve stayed at! Matthew was a fantastic host, and wave haven residence was beautiful. Matthew went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. stocked with everything we needed, including kitchen supplies (essentials and extras like stand mixer) games for kids, beach supplies, and baby gear. Matthew even went out of his way to order an additional baby gate. The rooms were welcoming, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of space to relax and work. We had 5 adults and two small children and ample room for all. The outside space had open air /screened porch, and sitting areas w/ grill. The bay creek facilities offered something for everyone. Highly recommended the package with pools and life center. There is a very well appointed gym, luxurious locker room, lap pool, kids pools, gaming facilities. There are multiple trails for biking, golf carts, running, and beach. Surrounding town was adorable with fun shops and restaurants. Our teen enjoyed Kiptoteke state park.
