Our wedding at The Chesapeake was truly a dream come true! From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The venue is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and meticulously maintained grounds that provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception.
The Chesapeake, our vendors and their rental agency Twiddy, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of. They were professional, friendly, and attentive, making us feel like our special day was their top priority. The venue itself is elegantly designed, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that allowed us to create the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.
The seamless coordination and outstanding service from everyone we worked with, made everything run smoothly. The catering was exceptional, with delicious food that our guests are still talking about, and the bar service was top-notch.
We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the availability of additional amenities, including extra appliances, to ensure everything was perfect for our stay. The entire experience was stress-free, and we felt completely supported throughout the process.

Thank you to everyone at The Chesapeake, our vendors and Twiddy for making our wedding unforgettable!

The venue itself was stunning. The ability to house 60-some people in one place and have meals prepared onsite is spectacular. This is a space that is set up for a wedding. The bridal room for getting ready, the pavilion for outdoor covered space, the bar area for hanging out, the huge dining room for everyone to have meals together, all phenomenal. What was difficult was the fact that our wedding was at the end of a busy wedding season. We were married in October and I saw the house featured on Instagram almost every weekend all summer long. There were numerous maintenance issues and problems we dealt with while at the house. There was an infestation of fruit flies and I do mean infestation. There were dishwashers not working, refrigerators not working, door knobs that literally fell off in your hand. These issues, however, are not the fault of the venue per se. The property management company is in charge of all of those items. We struggled with getting issues addressed. For example, we were told the fruit flies were just something we would have to deal with because there was nothing to be done about it. After I complained repeatedly, a pest control person was sent out on the day of our wedding no less. He was very knowledgeable and treated the issue as well as gave us useful tips for keeping them under control. There was actually a solution but we had to deal with the swarms of the flies from Sunday through Friday before it was addressed. The frosting on the cupcake was on the day of our checkout when the housekeepers showed up at 8:30 a.m. to clean the house and checkout is at 10:00. They started cleaning and blocked off the elevator which is a necessity for getting all of your belongings out of the house. When I complained about this issue, the property management called the lead housekeeper to tell them to leave. Rather than leaving, the housekeeper handed his phone to ONE OF MY GUESTS. Naturally, my guest wasn't aware of what was going on and created more confusion. When asked to leave, the housekeepers should have left. Period. They were an hour and a half early! As I said, the venue itself was beautiful. Our wedding was amazing, a dream come true. Our pictures are stunning. My primary piece of advice would be to be prepared for standing your ground with the property management service.

We sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced with the fruit flies and appliances not functioning properly. We take great pride in maintaining our appliances in good working order, and in addition to the primary appliances, we offer multiple extra appliances that are available for guests to use. We also work closely with our exceptional rental agency to ensure any issues are addressed at the earliest opportunity. While we have since resolved these concerns, we regret that this was your experience during your stay.
We truly hope the wonderful memories from your day far outweigh these few maintenance challenges. We wish you many years of happiness and cherished memories from your special day.
Warm regards,
Beth

This was a beautiful place to spend a vacation. The house is amazing and fits so many guests. Each bedroom had their own bathroom, shower, and balcony!! I also loved the pool and the hot tubs. My favorite part might have to be the game room and bar area downstairs. So many amazing memories there! You also might get to see some wild horses on the beach outside the house! Amazing!

I visited The Chesapeake for a family vacation and loved it! Each morning we woke up to beautiful weather and wild horses right outside our door. Seeing the beautiful animals in their natural habitat never got old. The property had dozens of bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and plenty of areas to hang out in, play games, watch movies and so much more. For such a large house it was well laid out, organized, clean and had a homey feeling!

The Chesapeake couldn’t be a more perfect place for an intimate or larger wedding! They have thought of everything with this house!! Rain or shine they have that covered with the beautiful large deck or the pavilion! The kitchen is perfect for any caterer or chef! The Sand dunes, house and Ocean make amazing back drops for the absolute perfect pictures!! We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Chesapeake and all our family & friends are trying to decide when we can rent it again! Just far enough into the 4x4 area to have the horses come by and close enough to get into town easy!
