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.

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.

“Cabana by the Bay”-tiny home on a pier!
Absolutely delightful in every way. Sleeping with the windows open and the sounds of the water lapping up against the rocks and the beautiful sea breezes was heavenly. Sitting on your private waterfront deck and watching the sailboats pass by was another plus. As you can see in the photos, it's a tiny house with a full-size bed, and the couch is small (I would say between a love seat and a full-size couch in length), so it's tight quarters if there are two people staying. A very short walk to The Pier Restaurant - lovely outdoor waterfront dining and cool ambiance. I had the oysters, seafood platter, shrimp with brioche. The oysters were magnificent. The other two were good. Extremely peaceful and relaxing. I didn't want to leave my serene abode.

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.

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!

Hideaway Home - 1st Pet FREE,Private Beach,Hot Tub
This bay house was the perfect peaceful getaway—calming, cozy, and incredibly well-stocked. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. The hosts truly thought of everything: toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, sunscreen, bug spray (a lifesaver near the water), plus kayaks, lifejackets, and fishing gear. All we had to do was show up and start relaxing. One of the best parts? We were able to bring our dog, who might have loved the bay even more than we did—he spent hours splashing around and soaking up the sun. The hot tub was the cherry on top. A morning soak with a cup of coffee and a view of the water was exactly what we needed to reset. And when the coffee maker wasn’t working, the hosts went above and beyond to replace it immediately. This place is a hidden gem and made for the perfect long weekend. Thank you for sharing your beautiful space—we’ll definitely be back!

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.

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!

The Sandcastle. Elevator, house holds 24 guests
Franks house was absolutely lovely and we had a fabulous time! Thanks Frank!

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!

Scientists Cliffs Beach Queen Bedroom 1 hr from DC
Terry’s place was just what I was looking for. This quiet neighborhood is located on the beautiful cliffs along the Chesapeake. The beach was truly magical. It was so peaceful and I enjoyed walking along and collecting fossils and shells. Terry was such a friendly and gracious host making sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. She let us use her space and guided us to many activities and attractions nearby. We really enjoyed hiking the nearby wooded trails as well. She even took us sailing! We look forward to visiting Terry’s place again!

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 River House, a Wicomico Beach Retreat
Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed—5 stars all the way! This home is right on the river, and the beach is full of beautiful sea glass that my children loved collecting. We made some of the most amazing memories here as a family. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone, and even our dogs had a wonderful time exploring and relaxing. Everything was clean, cozy, and well thought out. The host, Katie is incredibly kind and approachable. I truly can’t recommend this place enough—we can’t wait to come back!

Fishing Creek waterfront cottage
The water view of the Bay is awesome. Both the home and host are very welcoming, truly a lovely place to unwind.

Welcome to The Gull’s Nest Potomac Riverfront home
Everything about our stay was perfect! Hosts were super easy to communicate with, very kind and considerate (offering an early check in and late check out since we were staying for very short amount of time) I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s and this is by far the best! They thought of everything to make you feel at home. We absolutely loved watching the sunset out back while roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and the kids loved the private beach. The house decor was beautiful as well. No one wanted to leave! We will definitely be back!
