Holiday rentals with beach access in Southern Maryland

We rented A Little Slice of Cambridge because of the Iron Man competition held that weekend. It was convenient to the venue...and allowed to walk to the competition and nearby restaurants. Pamela was a wonderful host...communicating easily. The rental was well stocked with toiletries, dishes, pots and pans and extras. The house was comfy and the beds comfortable. An enjoyable stay...unfortunately, we weren't able to stay for more sightseeing...although I did walk down to the Lighthouse and beautiful wharf.

Our second time here! An absolutely adorable gem of an Airbnb with the nicest hosts and most beautiful garden and dock on the River! Great restaurant recommendations, super comfortable beds, and lovely living room. Perfect for families visiting the beloved St. Mary’s River.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sherril’s place. The location was peaceful and private but with easy access to the beach, boardwalk, shops, and great restaurants. The apartment was super clean and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great introduction to the lovely town of North Beach.

I think anyone would enjoy staying here. It's a wonderful place: clean and comfortable with many a helpful touch. The location couldn't be better. You feel as though you're staying in the essence of an authentic North Beach neighborhood. Thank you, Maria!

Robin was a terrific host. She’s easy to deal with. I would rent from her again.

We had a wonderful stay at Shawn's place. It is located in an absolutely beautiful area with a gorgeous view of the water. The place was beautifully decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of places to relax outside with a view of the water. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and watching the sunset each night. Shawn was a lovely host and is a genuine person who wants you to have the best stay!

Wonderful host—I felt right at home. Had conversation prior to arrival and felt like I knew her very well before arriving. The view was spectacular I could have just sat on the patio and watched the woods and water all day. Was there for a school reunion so I had other activities that I had scheduled. This was by far, the best Air B&B experience I have had. Fantastic host, comfortable, and stunning scenery. I am going to try and revisit soon.

Dayna has decorated her place with many interesting antiques and eclectic objects. There's always something new to discover and good books to leaf through. It's a pretty and cozy place with a spacious bath and well-appointed kitchen, and a living room that easily seats four. Parking is an easy pull-in next to the apartment, off the street. There are renters upstairs who are quiet. The only somewhat negative is the road noise, though this isn't bad at night and we slept well. Dayna was responsive and helpful with questions we had about the area.

Less than .5 miles from sand . The kids loved staying at the house versus a hotel ! Was the perfect spot to relax and go on the deck to hear the water . Would definitely go back for another vacation.

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!

Came back for a third visit and had a lovely time at this peaceful retreat.

This was our second time staying at Kimberly’s home, and it was just as magical as we remembered. The views of the water are absolutely stunning—whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, it’s hard to look away. The location is perfect: peaceful but just a short walk to shops and restaurants. We also really appreciated the Peloton and treadmill—such a bonus for staying active during our trip. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to our next visit!

We enjoyed our stay at Jan's cottage. Very clean, spacious and very good amenities. Jan was very responsive and informative on local places to visit/eat. The property is beautiful and peaceful. Just what we needed to have a relaxing weekend. Will visit again, Highly recommend!

Beautiful, large home and location. Great water views from almost every room in the house! We were meeting locals for this trip so we really to know the area, great little beach at the end of the road. We saw a lot of dolphins and rays.

Our family had beautiful weather on our vacation! Everything was as described, Mary & Shelly thought of everything. We would highly recommend.

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.

Jorge has a great spot for you and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet … 100% recommend!!

This place worked wonders for our family vacation. the place is very new and updated with 2 full bathrooms that were clean and spacious for beach time and baths with kids. colonial beach is a hidden gem in a historic little town that seems as though at one point was hustling and bustling but isn't quite as popular as it once was but trying to come back. if your a family looking for a uncrowded beach and some activities to do in the area then this place is great! we actually read about this place being in the heart of historic downtown. only thing we would have loved to see with this place is some outdoor patio spot at the home directly to be able to sit outside together. the location does not really have any night life during the week, not even on 4th of July. we went out at 9 pm and the bar closed at 10 pm which seemed way too early for a Thursday and holiday and being on the beach.

After a little miscommunication on the arrival time, everything was at it should be or better. Great location, clean, responsive well worth it. Great experience and will be back regularly.

We had a great stay at Jen's place! It was very spacious and comfortable, and walkable to downtown Cambridge which had plenty of restaurants and bars to explore. The beds were comfortable and the amenities were as described. Jen was a very responsive host and helped out with all our questions. She also offered lots of local recommendations in Cambridge and the surrounding area. I'd definitely recommend Jen's place if you find yourself in Cambridge, MD :)

Brandon’s home was as beautiful as the pictures. We loved how easy it was to walk to everything in the town. The pool and rooftop patio were an added bonus. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, and the house easily accommodated our group of 8. We will be back!

Chris was a great host making check in and out so easy and flexible! The location of the place was perfect for walking to the market and to get coffee! The space was exactly like the pictures and perfect for a quick getaway with my fiance! Recommend this place!

I had an amazing stay at Jen’s apartment! The space was exactly as described—clean, stylish, and super comfortable. The bed was cozy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the little touches (like the kid’s Conner and lots of board games ) really made a difference. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful at night. Communication with the host was smooth and fast, and they were incredibly helpful with local tips. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting beautiful Cambridge!

We were met at the dock by Tommy (4 brothers restaurant) with the golf cart we rented separately and made the short trip to Travis' Unit. We drove around the small island to check out the two open gift shops, beach, and only open restaurant; Lorraine's. The locals were very friendly and I can see us returning to this Island Getaway... without leaving Virginia.😎😊
