Escape to Pax River!

MariaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Location, both the island and apartment, is wonderful. View of the water. Close to restaurants. Our stay this May was peaceful. Host treated my spouse and I kindly. Super clean apartment. Advice: do the easy hike to Calvert Cliffs for fossils on beach. Visit the Annmarie sculpture garden and art center. It's a true gem.

Our family felt like home here! Brittany was very friendly, kind and responsive. The location was great, right next to the water and restaurants. My children really enjoyed. A plus was having the pack and play for my baby. Thank you so much to Brittany for making the stay feel very welcome 🙏🤗

Belair Cottage

MarianneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Just returned from a wonderful restful stay! Melanie is a wonderful host and made sure we had an amazing time! We asked about kitchen items and she went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to make a nice meal on our first night after a long drive! We enjoyed kayaking from her private dock and she was very responsive and friendly! This is our second stay and won’t be our last! Thank you!

Waterfront Solomons Apartment

ElizabethRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We came in very late our 3 hour drive turned into 4 1/2 due to severe thunderstorms and heavy rain. It’s was our safe harbor. Solomans island is very beautiful. Unfortunately we misunderstood the check out time on top of we were waiting on a boat surveyor. The place was clean and close to many attractions and shops.

Waterfront Home: Osprey Getaway

DamarisRating, 5 stars1 week ago
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We came here to celebrate my daughter graduating from HS. This place is perfectly prepared and exactly as described. In a nutshell, the home is brand new and beautifully designed, yet tastefully simple, all in an amazing-looking and peaceful setting. Garrett and Lauren thought about everything. I am so used to renting AirBNBs and always having to pack extra "stuff" in case the towels end up being too thin, or the bed sheets below standards. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE here. The hosts made sure to have high-quality and clean linens, towels, appliances, furniture, mattresses, you name it... They did not cut corners, which reflects the utmost respect to guests. Wonderful experience. Thank you, Garrett and Lauren, for the awesome home, kindness, and above and beyond attention before, during, and after our stay.

Thanks again! We feel at home here. I am noting that holiday weekends are less peaceful in the Northern Neck! We'll remember that. Fondly, Lois and Ken

The Glebe

KristinaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had such a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The layout was perfect for spending quality time together while still giving everyone space to unwind. Private beach access made it even more special—we made great memories, met some lovely neighbors, and even had a chance to paddle board and spot a stingray! Huge shout-out to Leigh, our amazing host—so thoughtful, responsive, and kind. We’re so grateful for the experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Luxe Modern Chesapeake Waterfront Oasis - 5 Star

TyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Chose this spot for our honeymoon and it was fantastic. You’ll love the views and infinite amenities but most of all, Evan is an incomparable host. I’d book with him again, no doubt. He’s clearly gone above and beyond to make sure guests feel at home (if your home is impeccably decorated and designed for ultimate comfort). He’s gone to great lengths to make sure his guests have a memorable experience and it’s appreciated!

Spacious Gorgeous Waterfront Home with Sunset View

KathrynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My family of 10 had a great stay here! There was plenty of space to spread out and the location is perfect and serene. We were able to fish out on the dock and caught a few spot! One of the friendly neighbors even stopped by to offer some raspberries from their bush and extra firewood. We did run into an issue after check in with one of the bathrooms, but Karina was quick to respond and sent someone out to handle it as quickly as possible. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Unbelievable beach views for 6

JuliannRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Condo was in a perfect location in North Beach area. Loved walking boardwalk and walked 5+ miles daily. Felt very safe in the area, everyone was so friendly. Mexican restaurant and Baia were fantastic. Very peaceful. Condo definitely worth the money. Host was very responsive and let us check in early and was quick to reply to any text questions. Loved the view!
