Our Little Piece of Heaven

DeniseRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The space is incredibly comfortable, offering a private entrance. The view of the river is spectacular adding to the charm. Added details like coffee, snacks, and a local chocolatier’s treats made me feel at home! Hosts are wonderful! Thanks for an amazing stay!

This was my fourth stay with Theo and every time, it seems like he includes something to make the stay more enjoyable. Very responsive to any questions or issues that arise. Always flexible! I love it there and it is definitely my home away from home! I look forward to my next stay!

Stunning Sunsets on Breton Bay, Seaside apartment

KyleRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What a calm and peaceful private retreat! My fiancée and I spent a couple of days enjoying the brisk bay breezes and beautiful sunsets at Vickie’s. Everything was exactly as advertised and Vickie (and Scott) are true treasures—extremely responsive and thoughtful hosts who want you to have everything you need. Plus, their knowledge of the area gave us a great introduction to Leonardtown. So much more to the area than we thought! Whether birdwatching from “the best view on the block” or reflecting on the glider by the bay, we loved every moment of quiet and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!

Serenity Suite on Chesapeake Bay

ImamuRating, 5 stars2 days ago
What can’t I say about this beautiful place! The scenery is gorgeous! Their hospitality was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. Their binder when you come in was so handy. They mapped out everything in the area. The Pier restaurant was so good! Will definitely visit again. Much thanks Lori!

Sunrise Waterfront Potomac Beach Haus

Heather was an amazing host, and the home was absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the waterfront views and the peaceful early morning walks are only some of the reasons why I would stay again. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway, look no further.

Waterfront. Spacious. HotTub. Kayaks. DogFriendly.

RebeccaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Jess is an incredible host who was always responsive, friendly, and periodically even checked in to ensure we didn’t need anything and shared the tide levels with us throughout our stay. The house is gorgeous! And so much fun. We never even left the house our entire stay because we were enjoying the amenities so much. The beds are so comfortable. The hot tub was warm and ready to go upon our arrival. Jess was so nice to allow additional guests to come to our Easter dinner which was not a part of our original plans, a dinner that then turned into a ping-pong tournament which was such a good time. Just waking up to the sound of the birds in the morning was such a wonderful treat. My own guests that I invited to come stay with me were so delighted and impressed with the home, everyone truly enjoyed their stay. It was by far 5 star accommodations that I would give 10 if I could!

Waterfront FamilyFriendly Home Improved for 2023

BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Karen's place! For most of the time the weather was rainy, windy and chilly, so we did not get to enjoy the outdoors as we would have liked. But the views were still amazing - made even more dramatic and beautiful with the dark and stormy skies! The home was cozy and comfortable - a real treat to be there! Would definitely return to this amazing place!

We had a great stay at Cameron’s home. Even though the weather didn’t cooperate we were able to spend a lot of time on back patio which felt like we were almost outside. Cameron was nice enough to let us check in early. Overall great time and looking forward to next time. Thanks again Cameron.

Lakefront/Dock, Woods, 3 Beaches, Kayaks, Hot tub

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This cabin was everything we wanted and more! It’s in the perfect location, just a short drive to so many activities but also tucked away offering privacy. The house was so cozy it put us at ease as soon as we walked in. The owner was proactive and very quick to respond, including sending a great packing and local activity list a couple days in advance of our trip which came in very handy. Activities: This rental comes with guest passes to the private Shark Tooth Beach where our kids had so much fun finding real shark and manta ray teeth in the sand! Westmorland State Park and George Washington’s Birthplace both had great hiking and beaches for the kids. We visited Garners Produce twice where the kids fed animals and pedaled toy tractor’s while we picked up farm fresh milk and eggs. We spent our afternoons kayaking on the quiet lake soaking up the sunshine. We will definitely book another vacation at this cabin. You will not be disappointed with your stay at this little gem!

Beach Please! River cottage w/private beach & dock

AudreyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was our second stay at Beach Please and it was just as delightful as the first! The house was again squeaky clean, thoughtfully decorated and had plenty of room for our multi-generational family to spread out. Grandparents appreciated the first floor master bedroom and kiddos loved the game room, and the crafts and puzzles upstairs. The neighborhood is peaceful and cozy, with beautiful views in every direction. The addition of the acoustic guitar for songs by the firepit was a major plus, as our ten year old is a music lover and almost brought her own. We had a great stay and would recommend this AirBnB to anyone! Grab a week (or two) and don't think twice.
