Family-friendly vacation rentals in Southern Maryland

Our family and friends had a lovely time in Cynthia's home. The setting is very pretty, the dock was a great place to fish and crab from and the beach offers another great hangout spot. The added bonus is that her home is just a 10-minute walk to a cute little restaurant in a marina with great oysters and cocktails.

This was a very great find. Affordable for the part of the city we were in. Lots of energy and activity around the area, with plenty of places to eat/drink within a few block radius. Close to everything you need to be close to downtown. Easy check-in process. Beautiful, clean apartment. All in all, a wonderful spot to stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Brenda’s place! The pool is amazing and the whole outdoor area is great. With the grill, chairs and tables, outdoor fire (two of them!) we had such a great weekend escape. Very quiet area, we didn’t see the hosts the whole time which made it feel private. They were so responsive and helpful all weekend. Wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

Natalie’s place was just like the pictures. Everything was clean and well stocked for our stay of 6 adults. The sunsets were beautiful from the dock and the kayaks were a definite bonus! We enjoyed time outside on the dock, deck, and in the hot tub! The beds were very comfortable and our stay was great!

Very nice place to stay near Gaylord convention center. Super clean condo. All the essentials are there. Lots to do at the resort as well as nearby walking distance. Having a baby in the group we did quite a bit of laundry. A laundry room was on our floor with two washers and four dryers and free of charge. We barely passed anyone on the seventh floor. We would def stay here again.

The ultimate Maryland water experience. Beautiful house with perfect amenities to enjoy the bay. With the dock, the view, the crabbing, the fishing, and the kayaking, you save time and money by having everything at your fingertips. The hot tub was wonderful even in summer. The house has everything you could want for a relaxing stay. We ate the crabs we caught every night for a week! Plenty to do and see in the area, too. Definitely want to return!

Brooke was very helpful in our booking and gave great suggestions. The place at National Harbor was exceptional and from the check in to the check out, the staff were extremely helpful and went above & beyond. We had a great rental that exceeded our expectations.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laurie's home! It was a great location and the home matched the description. We had everything we could have asked for and more, and Laurie was a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

This cottage was a gorgeous place to relax with my wife for her birthday. The proximity to the bay cannot be beat - especially since she made kayaks available for our stay. I would happily re-book next time I am in the area.

Nestled in the Aurora Hills neighborhood of Arlington, you'll find a gem of a listing, far enough from the hustle and bustle of Pentagon and Crystal City but close enough to be there in mere minutes. Beyond that, this locale is close enough to the District that you can be at the Smithsonian and assorted museums in no time, and can easily access the Pier/Naval Yard with a simple transfer. As for the amenities of this location, it has everything you'd need for a short to moderate stay. The shower was incredibly hot, which I preferred. So, if you are looking for a place a bit out of the mix but close enough to be in it at a moment's notice, then please look no further than this great listing.

Incredible place to stay! The hosts were flexible, responsive, and kind. Very accommodating regarding check in and check out. Would highly recommend!

Great place to stay in Georgetown. Place was clean and felt hospitable

My family and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for our family. The location was great. The cottage smelled clean upon entering and we were thrilled by the cleanliness of the entire cottage. We appreciated all the amenities provided. As we were returning to the cottage one day, Eddie stopped by to ask if everything was ok and to let him know if we needed anything. We also enjoyed getting to know the neighbors nearby as we sat on the beautiful porch with beautiful flowers and landscaping. We definitely would love to return in the near future!

David and Elizabeth’s place was perfect for my fiancé and our dog Kai. We attended a music festival at RFK and it was a short drive away. We actually ended up riding scooters back because it is so close by! There are so many restaraunts and things to do within walking distance. Check-in was super easy and it’s a very homey, comfortable space. The kitchen has a small fridge, toaster oven, microwave and hot plate with pots, pans, and everything you need to prepare a basic meal. We were able to set our dogs crate up (he’s a medium sized husky) perfectly and still had plenty of space to move around. Finding street parking was super easy and close by. You can hear noise from above at times for sure… ear plugs and a night time noise machine are provided to help. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

My friend and I loved our stay! It was a lovely little neighborhood. Alex and Shelby’s place was everything that we needed. Cute and quaint. Only the slightest of pitter patters heard from upstairs. Very clear instructions for checking in and checking out. Convenient for public transportation and provided metro cards were a great gift. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in the DC area!

Relaxing, well-kept property and house with a view. Plenty of good food in next town over. If you haven't been to Northern Neck, stay here and enjoy some peace and quiet.

WOW. This was one of the most wonderful homes we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was clean, comfortable and accessible. Marissa was so helpful with recommendations, flexible check-in times so we could get my little one down for a nap, my three-year-old love the pool, dedicated playroom, toys, swing set and s’mores that were such a perfect gift from Marissa. My son asked if we could move there! My husband and I loved the kayaks and pond. We saw bunnies in the morning - it’s truly magical. It’s so private and just 2 mins away from town. We made so many memories and I can’t recommend staying at this property enough.

Fabulous views of Chesapeake Bay, pool was great, deer everywhere, house was spacious with three living areas. Would definitely stay there again.

Our stay was fantastic! The location was SO close to everything and the walkability to some great restaurants was great! Greg was very informative and responsive and I def recommend taking advantage of the parking offered, well worth it in this busy neighborhood. This was the cleanest Airbnb I have ever stayed in, everything was well labled and the kitchen had everything you need to cook! The home and the the neighborhood were very charming and if you like unique stays, I'd def recommend checking it out! We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a great time and parked right in front of the apartment. After I stood there and held the spot for our big truck. Lol took my hubby an hour to get back to me but I remained standing for him to park and not letting anyone else park there 🤣🤣🤣🤣 place was great. Thanks!

We found Paul’s home very comfortable and accommodating. Paul was accessible when we reached out to him and he communicated well with us. It was a very nice location with a fantastic view of the bay, as we hoped for.

Nathan has a lovely home—it feels like stepping back in time into one of old Washington’s charming houses. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, and communication with Nathan was excellent. The location is convenient, about a 25-minute walk to Capitol Hill. While the surrounding area could be better—the streets were a bit dirty—it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t affect our overall experience. We had a wonderful time in Washington, and staying at this house was definitely part of it. Thank you, Nathan!

Very responsive host. Clean space in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool alone was 5stars and the cleanliness and guest house was exceptionally nice as well. My grandson claimed to have "The BEST day ever" swimming in the pool. we loved the privacy and the beautiful flowers and landscaping it was perfect. I hope to be able to come back soon.
