Peaceful Harbor with new pier & Boat slip.
A true gem of a location. We loved our stay and would definitely come back. Its the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature's beauty.

“Cabana by the Bay”-tiny home on a pier!
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabana! We loved how peaceful it felt, yet we were right there in the center of things when we wanted to get something to eat etc. Though small, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full breakfast. Truly a novel place to stay! I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing and unique place to stay on Solomons Island...

Historic St. Mary's City, MD
The location was beautiful and the home was very cozy. Sitting on the screened porch, reading and enjoying the view of the yard and water was good for the soul. It was very quiet and we had all the amenities we needed.

Charming Waterfront Home with Expansive Views
We loved the house; cozy, nicely decorated, with many pieces of original art that really added character. The kitchen is well stocked for those who like to cook. The location right on the water was wonderful, and Nancy provided kayaks, which we took advantage of. Our dog was beside himself with so much room to run. Nancy’s daughter and family live next door, and we spent quite a few hours enjoying conversation and local knowledge with them. We would go back again.

Farmhouse by the bay! Beach and pier access.
We had a lovely stay at Patrick’s place! It had everything we needed for a long weekend on the shore. A very comfortable home. Patrick was extremely responsive and helpful, with easy check in and check out. The kitchen was particularly lovely and well appointed! The house number is a little small so keep an eye out. And the mosquitos were fierce - don’t forget bug spray! Thanks, Patrick!

Waterfront Sunrise Cottage on Hoopers Island, Md
We loved staying at Kim’s place! The house was super clean and had absolutely everything you would need. We loved hanging out on the dock and the screened in porch, hiking at Blackwater, and enjoying crabcakes at the nearby Old Salty’s. Such a great way to celebrate our anniversary weekend!

Cozy & Content River Retreat Beach Hot Tub & Games
We had a great time at Nicholas and Dana's place! It was both fun and relaxing. We really enjoyed the little beach, the dock and the kayaks. We caught some catfish and one tiny crab in the crab trap (and threw everything back in). It was nice to have the firepit and hot tub to use too. And, the kids really liked being downstairs in their own space. The only issues were that the key pad wasn't working to get in to the front door which was frustrating after a long drive and the grill was very slow to heat up and probably needs to be replaced. Overall, this home was a really good choice for us and we would stay again when visiting family in the area.

Hideaway Home - 1st Pet FREE,Private Beach,Hot Tub
We stayed here for 3 nights - family of 3 and a dog. Beautiful house in an amazing setting. Everything we needed was in the house. brand new kayaks, life vests, a grill, a hot griddle, a very nice hot tub, on and on and on. Brian & Clara were super responsive and went above and beyond. There was one minor item that they ran out of (no big deal), but they came over and dropped off late at night, despite me saying its not urgent. Lovely folks! VERY clear instructions on checkout making it easy to follow. You have your own private beach right outside the backyard, a fishing pier to fish or just sit and take in the scenery. Lot of board games to keep you occupied; nice TV; wifi; every single utensil you would need; you will not miss a thing. Thanks Brian & Clara! We will happily return here!

Gorgeous Historic Riverfront House
My daughter found this gem online to book for my 65th birthday and a family get-together on the Northern Neck. We stay in Airbnb homes quite frequently all over the world and this is the loveliest home we've had the good fortune to stay in. Christine is the most gracious host and this home is special because she has made it that way for her family. It's a huge difference to stay in a vacation home that the host rents and a home that the host lives in. Christine's eye for beauty is exquisite and the home is comfortable as well as beautiful. It seldom happens that you say, "I wish the house had (fill in the blank)" and this house has it. The river is a gorgeous backdrop and there are kayaks to use. The saltwater pool is a great addition and a reason to hang at the house. And there is everything one needs to knock out a meal or if you don't want to cook, plenty of places to eat in the area. All in all, this house is a 15 out of 10!!

The Marina Oasis in Taylors Island
It was a comfy stay in a beautiful marinia. The house was clean and the beds were soft. It did well for me and my 4 kids who each had their own bed. The landscape of the place and the sunsets were great! It was quite, tranquil with beautiful warm and sunny days. I would go back. Very easy check in and out.A lot to do in the area.

Waterfront Escape Pool Dock Kayaks Chesapeake Bay
This is the most peaceful place I have ever been. Feels like home, on the water, with a pool! The best!

Game-Themed Waterfront Fun! Dock-Boats-King Suite
I stayed here with my three kids for a little getaway, and we had the best time. The place was super clean and spacious, and the modern decor and finishes were clearly chosen with care—it just felt really good to be there. The game rooms were such a fun touch, each with its own theme, and the kids were obsessed! One of our favorite parts was the scavenger hunt—it was such a fun and unexpected surprise, and it gave us a memory we’ll definitely hold onto. The host was incredibly kind, polite, and respectful. Overall, it was just a great experience and a really special trip with my kids.

Osprey Eyrie on the Chesapeake•Pool•Beach•Firepit
The area and view are beautiful and the home's decor is welcoming. The home was very comfortable for our family group and had a VERY well-stocked kitchen. The master bed was VERY comfortable as were the rest of the beds. My husband and I slept well. We all felt at home. MJ was very responsive when I had questions and communicated about the property in clear, concise language. The host provided many outdoor recreation opportunities, which included paddleboards, kayaks, and life jackets. There was a nice sized pool but we were visiting out of season so we did not use it. The exercise room downstairs has a lot of equipment. We all enjoyed our time together. Our family is asking to come back again next year. Thanks for a great stay!

Sandy Feet Retreat - Beachfront
Sandy Feet Retreat in Colonial Beach was a great place to take my daughter and the grandkids for a 3 day Spring Break holiday. The condo was beautifully furnished and very well located on the boardwalk. My family loved having access to the beach right outside the condo and spent many hours collecting shells and sea glass. Fishing from the pier was a thrill for my grandson. I enjoyed peaceful mornings on the balcony and evening time there listening to the waves each day. Thank you Brittany for everything you do to assure a lovely stay for your guests.

Idyllic Montross Vacation Rental Home w/ Views
We really enjoyed the stay at the River House. We are a repeat customer and the house did not disappoint us. The host is very gracious and everything is just as the website has it listed. We enjoyed the amenities, lots of videos, games and the hottub. There is a short walk to the beach which we visited twice a day. We loved every minute of it! Thank you!

Luxury Waterfront Beach House on the Potomac Rvr
We really enjoyed our week at Ppb! It was so relaxing and peaceful. The neighborhood is quiet. There were 11 of us and plenty of room. The house was clean and accommodating. The pool was perfect for hours of fun! There is a public boat ramp right down the road which made it easy to take our jet ski out every day. The beach is quiet and private. We would definitely stay here again!

"Elderberries" Chesapeake Bayfront Cottage
Had a great time at the Elderberries cottage! The views were spectacular, and you could take them in from the enclosed porch, the open deck, and even the living room. The entire setup was perfect for a vacation/remote work getaway, and the kitchen has everything you need. WiFi worked great, and the smart TV supported pretty much any streaming service you'd want. Rachel was friendly and super responsive; we hope to stay there again sometime.

Peaceful and Cozy Waterfront Home (just renovated)
Had a great stay ! Would definitely stay again if the time comes for us to go back .

Waterfront Escape!
Amazing girls weekend at Ryan’s house. Such a great host and we couldn’t ask for a better weekend. The dock made the trip! We spent our entire time out there, just relaxing.

Waterfront 3BR/3BA Getaway: Beach, Dock, Firepit!
We took a small vacation with my sister’s family and we loved the location. Our kids enjoyed the small play area in the basement with the arcade machine and foosball table. We cooked every night and they had all useful appliances. We used the Ninja air fryer and Keurig machine every day. Since we went in January after a snowstorm the road was a little hazardous to use and the lake was completely frozen, so we spent most times indoors. We did enjoy going to the dock and looking at the frozen lake. This will be a great place to visit during the summer, they had Kayaks to use and a nice dock to jump from and fish. We would definitely come back.

The River House: A private waterfront oasis…
Thank you to John for a lovely stay at The River House! We enjoyed a gorgeous sunny sunset happy hour on the tiki bar dock and moody views of fog and mist rolling over the water all in one weekend. John’s place is clean, comfortable, and cozy. We had everything we could possibly need for a weekend of quiet, beauty, and relaxation. Can’t wait to come back!

The View at Jerk Cove - River Escape
Loved this place, exactly as advertised. A beautiful place in a beautiful location on the water. The house was perfect and exactly what we wanted and the family enjoyed every minute. Jeffrey was very responsive to any questions and provided everything needed. Would definitely recommend it and would go again.

Waterfront Cottage ❤️ Private Beach, Dock & Kayaks
Rachel’s place was Awesome! The water view, pier, fire pit and house made us feel at home. We were in town for a funeral and Rachel was very accommodating. With check in and check out. Our family grew up in piney point just a short distance away and we were able to reminisce and site see of the past. The ruddy duck restaurant on the island was a great place to gather after. Thanks again!!

Waterfront Paradise with own Beach, Kayak, & Grill
We loved this snug, little spot on the water. Watching the sunrise over the water made for enjoyable mornings. It had a full kitchen that made cooking our meals very easy. Two seating areas in the living area gave us room to spread out. Fast wifi....I even stayed online while I was down by the water. I wasn't a huge fan of the overly curious swans, but I did find some really nice pieces of sea glass down by the water. The heat in this house was great.
