Block to Private Beach, Screened deck, Hot Tub

JaneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The cottage was so cute, the back porch was so cozy and comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and everything was clean. The walk to the beach was so pleasant and super close, the hot tub was private and clean. We had a romantic weekend for two but this would be perfect for a young family, for some very relaxing beach time. The host was so gracious and responsive and the location so convenient from DC.

Year Round Playground - Rare Rustic-Modern Getaway

BrittanyRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Had a mini friend vacation with 6 people total and we all immediately felt right at home. The layout of the home is extremely convenient-there’s a half bath next to the washer/dryer right near the door to the deck- it was perfect for fast bathroom breaks without getting the entire house wet! We spent most of our time in the pool area and game room, and both spaces had everything we needed! (Nadia, I hope you don’t mind we left a few pool new loungers behind!) We took advantage of pretty much everything aside from swimming in the lake (bugs were really bad, no one’s fault at all but be warned- you NEED to have bug spray.) The only critique I could give was the softness of the beds, they were all really firm and if you have any sort of sleeping and or back/pain problems, it could be evident the next morning. But overall it was an amazing time and the host was extremely courteous and genuinely caring! A lot of love goes into this spot and you can tell. We can’t wait to go back.

The Cottage @ Captain Genes - Secluded Waterfront

LindseyRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Our stay in this home was such a treat! We enjoyed utilizing the kayaks to boat around in Chesapeake Bay. The hot tub was an absolute delight, perfect for evening stargazing, saw lots of shooting stars, and could see the water of the bay from the hot tub. We also enjoyed doing November cold plunges from the hot tub to the pool. While the living room is not expansive, it fit our needs for family game & movie nights. The bed linens were so comfortable, and Lori was beautifully responsive & friendly when we would reach out with a question. We also enjoyed the nearby Sandy beaches.

The Little House at Waveland

AshleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great time at Diana’s place. The water access was awesome and we had lots of fun with the kayaks. We were able to walk through a wooded trail to a nearby restaurant which was so nice. The location felt private and naturally beautiful while being not far from grocery stores and restaurants. Diana’s neighborhood is beautiful and the space is charming and comfortable. Such a fun way to see the Chesapeake, we would love to come back!

19th Century Coastal Cottage with Modern Amenities

GinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
- It is hard to put into words how special of a place Lisa and Larry’s cottage is. Every detail is incredibly thought through—from the welcome gifts within the pristine home to the wonderfully cared for gardens, animals, and property. Our interactions with them both were wonderfully fun and pleasant. As someone who works in interiors and travels a lot, I have truly never come across such a beautiful gem. The location is a pleasant and convent drive to local hiking, gardens, beaches, and state parks. It is a place that will stay in my heart and mind for a long time and I cannot wait to return.

ClaireRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The cottage was in a nice quiet neighborhood, could walk the dog, it also has a fenced in yard. The home was exceptionally clean, it has all amenities needed, even a few extras, gas grill, beach chairs etc.. The bed was comfortable. Also enjoyed the water and snack basket that was left with a welcome note. Definitely recommend! Really felt like home! Short drive to restaurants and shops and a 2 minute drive to a cute little beach with lifeguards, restrooms and a free parking lot!

Charming Waterfront Home with Expansive Views

JessicaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
This is my second time staying at this cottage. The location is beautiful, the private beach is great for kids, and all the welcome gifts and fresh flowers are a friendly touch. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and the two bedrooms made for a comfortable stay for my family of four. We enjoyed the Fisherman’s Museum in Reedsville and the local coffee, Fawn’s. Northern Neck is a lovely area and everyone we ran into the whole weekend was incredibly friendly.

Water View Cottage

AnnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A beautiful water view cottage in a quiet and peaceful setting was precisely what we wanted — and got — during our stay at this home. We couldn’t be happier. Everything was perfect. View of the sunset (which, along with the water) could be seen from inside of the home. This is truly a special little spot that we hope to be visiting again sometime. I highly recommend this rental.

Maggie’s Cottage on Poplar - Our Happy Place!

CarolineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We stayed at Maggie's Place for 4 nights with our 5 and 7 year old sons and had a wonderful time. The abundance of games / toys was great - our kids loved playing with them when we needed some downtime from the beach. The kitchen was VERY well equipped and it was so nice to have condiments and spices so we didn't have to buy a ton of items just to cook a meal. The beds were comfy and we all slept great. It was nice to have two TVs - one in the family room and another in the main bedroom - so we could watch NetFlix and HBO from our bedroom (they had other streaming services, too). The house is walkable from a fantastic playground (Brianna's Kindness Park) as well as some amazing coffee shops. We loved AmaRin - go early for the pastries and the Vietnamese egg coffee is a must-try. Maggie's Place was our perfect landing place for our trip to Chincoteague!

Little Gray Beach House

MattRating, 5 starstoday
Great getaway place, super peaceful, and quiet. Beautiful views. Just a few helpful tips for your visit …might want to bring tin foil, plastic wrap, etc. We didn’t care for the taste of the tapwater, may want to bring your own. Matches for the grill were found in the utility room. Shed had plenty of extra space to store our 2 bikes, could fit 3-4. Highly recommend, we would definitely stay here again!!
