We had a very nice stay here. We have 2 kids--one a toddler--so I was a bit nervous but Phoebe made us very welcome. Breakfast was wonderful (Milan loved it!!!) and the weather was great too. Thanks for a lovely time!

We just got back from our second stay at Mallard Bay. Phoebe was a gracious host and the breakfasts were wonderful. Having access to her kayaks is a real benefit. We spend several hours poking around the creeks and islands. read more

We had such a wonderful, relaxing weekend with Phoebe. She is such a lovely person. It rained most of the weekend, so we had lots of time to decompress. I just love the sun room! Phoebe, thanks for everything.

We arrived around early evening on 12/29 and slept in the east facing bedroom so the morning sun was glistening on the water like diamonds as we opened our eyes. Pat allowed us to luxuriate and leisurely come down for what turned out to be brunch... read more

the only reason we gave it a ok was because we were expecting a private suite with no access to the main part of the house. Because this was our first anniversary, we probably would not have booked it if we had known that we would not have full... read more

Wow. I was not expecting a secret nook tucked away on the waterway to be my escape for the weekend. Mallard Bay is brimming with peace, tranquility, and an amazing energy that fills you back up. Practicing yoga on the deck, kayaking through Salt... read more
