Waterfront Retreat| Kayak+Beaches+Pool | Gameroom
Connie’s place was great! Looked just like the photos. The house was clean and in a great area. Nice and friendly neighbors. We enjoyed the community beaches that are super close, clean and dog friendly. It was a prefect weekend trip. We would book here again!

The Glebe
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!

Wizard's Escape | Sleep15+ | Pool | 2 EscapeRooms
Our experience at the Wizards Escape was amazing! Nate, our host, was the best. He checked in to make sure that we were getting the best experience out of the house. The atmosphere is unreal! We really felt we were at Hogwarts Castle. The bedrooms are so full of detail. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could imagine. The Great Hall is magical! The escape rooms.. fantastic. We only stayed 2 days but tried to get in all the activities that were available. We played quidditch golf, did escape rooms, had a scavenger hunt, made great meals in the Weasley's kitchen. We had dinner in the Great Hall under the levitating candles while listening to the Harry Potter music in the background. This house is a home to be experienced. We are definitely coming back!

Gorgeous, waterfront home - Perfect for Families.
Clare and Chris could not be nicer and easier to work with. My family/friends have been getting together since 1994 and have been to many great Airbnb's and VRBO's. My group could not stop telling me how great of a week we had. The primary features that were import to us which the house scored big are as follows: It has a dock (we arrived via boat), The kitchen is big, laid out for many "Cooks", The kitchen was open to the dining room table, The dining room table is open to the sitting areas, The pool was clean and inviting, The fire pit with seasoned firewood was a big hit for our group, All the beds were comfortable, The bedrooms were large and comfortable, The baths were clean, modern & large and The location to "What to do in Cambridge" is only 7-10 miles away. We made prearrangements: Richardson Maritime Museum to have a guided tour with David Williams on Friday and Spocott Windmill with George Radcliff. Both of these tours were fascinating. Our weekend was 5-Stars.

Large Home with Pool & 7 bedrooms; sleeps 21
This home was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter’s graduation! We had family travel in from several states, and everyone felt comfortable and truly enjoyed the spacious layout. It was a bit too chilly to use the pool, but I’m already looking forward to booking this home again. I’ll definitely be a repeat renter!

Beach Please! River cottage w/private beach & dock
My family and I stayed here for a week for our family vacation. We are a group of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room for all of us. We barely left the house because with the beautiful view, dock, beach area, canoe, kayaks, hot tub, game room/ library, corn hole, and fire pit we all had plenty to keep us entertained. Everyone loved Mary & Shelly’s place, and it provided the perfect space for us to enjoy the river and each other’s company!

Gunpowder Retreat
This house was perfect for our stay in MD. Our family of six was very comfortable here and our kids loved the pool and spa. The house is clean, cute and very cozy. Tanya was very quick to respond and great to work with!

Light of North Beach
A great stay at a relaxing quiet beach town! Walking distance to the boardwalk and local trails, while still feeling private and safe.

Peaceful Waterfront Home in Annapolis 3BR 2BA.
Our Airbnb stay was absolutely fantastic! My family and I really loved all the amenities. The waterfront view was stunning, and we had a great time grilling and just hanging out together with friends and family. It was truly a memorable experience! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb for a family getaway and to have a peaceful time enjoying the water and the beach. I definitely will come back again!

Bay Breeze - 3BR Waterfront Chester River Retreat
Katie's house was beautiful. It was very clean, beautifully decorated and in a great location! We look forward to staying here in the future.

Quiet Getaway in Waterfront Community
My husband and I stayed here for a month while we had work done on our boat at a local marina. The location is perfect for access to the local marina as well as all the restaurants in Deale. Yen was super responsive as was John. They responded to all our questions in a timely manner, and were always very kind. The home is well laid out, and worked perfectly to use as a homebase. Good wifi, comfy couch, comfy bed with good pillows. The master suite is gorgeous and well lit. Kitchen is well appointed and had all the appliances/utensils we needed. Had several work spaces that were great for zoom calls and other "office" type work. The tap water didn't have any odors. Enjoyed having coffee on the front porch with a lovely view of the Chesapeake and the screened in porch in the back was great as the evening bugs came out. Highly recommend this home!

Chesapeake Peace
Andrew is a great host. We really enjoyed our stay! The property was very clean and felt like home. We enjoyed our walks to the water with our dog. I enjoyed the sunroom for reading. Neighbors were also extremely friendly(offered us bbq often)! Great place to stay overall!

Stunning Chesapeake waterfront home
We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The place was spotless and very well maintained, and we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. There were plenty of activities to enjoy as a family, and we created some unforgettable memories here. The host was incredibly friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had, which made everything even more enjoyable. The surroundings are absolutely stunning, and the sunset views were nothing short of magical. We would love to come back again!

Chesapeake Bay - West River Home
Fabulous house in a terrific location. The house was very clean and Rick was a great host.

Waterfront home on the Bay
This is one of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had. Teresa’s house was 10 out of 10. Everything was absolutely fantastic. Very clean with everything we needed. The view was spectacular!!!! We absolutely loved everything especially the bald eagle that flew by on our last morning. I highly highly recommend staying here and next time we make the trip up there from Texas it will be scheduled based on the availability of Teresa’s house. Thank you for being a great host!!

Herring Bay Getaway Water view | Deale, Maryland
The place was everything I wanted for my vacation. I will come back for another relaxing weekend. Many thanks to the kind and helpful hosts.

Mid-Century Modern: Direct Private Beach Access
We returned to this gorgeous home for a second time this summer for a full week’s stay. Not only is the home, landscaping and views beautiful, the house is well equipped with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, especially the kitchen. We enjoyed finding shark teeth on the private beach, relaxing in the hammock and taking drives into town which is just a short trip away. Nicholas was a super helpful and responsive host. Thank you for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful home! We’ll be back next year!

*Waterfront Sunset Bayview* sleeps 6
The perfect mom and teen boy getaway! The house is on the water with gorgeous sunsets and super clean! My boys attempted fishing daily even without any luck. Altho we didn't kayak because of the choppy water, its great location (there's a ladder at the private pier or a public launch a few yards away) We cooked and ate in a few nights and also enjoyed a local spot on the water (The Narrows). The neighborhood was quiet, relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed a visit to the Chesapeake Environmental center (abt a 12 min drive) which was a hidden treasure. The Chesapeake Outdoors (recommended by our host Jeremiah) was a great find for bait and info from the locals. Morning coffee on the patio and evening sunsets on the pier were some of my favorites, along with the spacious open floor plan (yet privacy with bedrooms). Jeremiah was super responsive and kind! We'll be back to kayak, fish more, enjoy the hot tub coming soon, the serenity and gorgeous sunsets! (maybe we'll even bring dad -LOL)

Kent Island Escape
The place is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, even though it is waterfront there isn't a good way to access the water for swimming or kayaking due to the way the breakwall is structured.

Downs By The River
We had a very enjoyable stay at this perfect River House. The place was warm and comforting, with some of the most amazing views you can find. We arrived shortly after check in time, and easily let ourselves in with the lock box code & key. Everything inside looked just like the pictures, and we weren't disappointed! If you're looking for some beautiful river views, right on the water, with your own private water access and dock, this is the place for you. We were in town for a wedding a few houses down, and this place couldn't have been any better for us. We were able to walk to & from, which was a huge bonus for after the reception...Cheers :) We enjoyed eating out a couple times in town, and really liked Brick Wood Fired Bistro & Traders Seafood Steak & Ale. We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful river stay, and will surely return someday in the future! Thanks for your hospitality!

Water Views in Rock Hall
Incredible, serene home with thoughtful design and furnishings. Our family loved the house, which served as a great space to gather over meals, games and stories. The deck on two sides of the house, with great seating, provided a gentle welcome to the nature around with harbor views in the distance. As seasoned Eastern Shore folks, this was an introduction to Rock Hall, which we really enjoyed, especially the refuge. Thanks, Lauren, for your insightful planning and attentive care for the house and your guests.

Bay Home in Annapolis with Private Dock
Beautiful place, beautiful location. Joel thought of anything you could want.

Blue Pearl-Luxury estate with private dock/jacuzzi
Great stay, great home, great price and great hosts. Comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated home. Very inviting. Easy check in and out. This was a work retreat for 3 couples. We all enjoyed ourselves. Great area for long walks, fishing, crabbing and enjoying the hot tub. We even found time to watch the basketball finals and a movie. Our hosts Jin and Shane are very accommodating. Easy to communicate with and understanding. I would highly recommend this home for families or work retreats.
