Peaceful beach @Courtyard Cottage+No Cleaning Fee!

JessiccaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and we felt at home right away. The location was fantastic- private and peaceful but also very convenient to walk out the door and be on the beach in a couple of minutes. My favorite feature was all the amenities provided by the hosts- beach towels, laundry detergent, games and books for the kids, etc. Even just having access to a broom and dustpan to sweep up the sand we tracked in was very helpful (and something we have missed in past Airbnb experiences). We would definitely recommend Richard’s place and would love to stay here again in the future.

Easy Breezy beach house on secluded waterfront

RachelRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Our family had the best time at Easy Breezy. Alex had thought of everything when it comes to a vacation home and I can't even put into words how peaceful it was. We kayaked, paddle boarded, fished , napped, sun bathed on the dock and enjoyed the hot tub which was an amazing perk. We caught 6 crabs and some ocean perch. This place had everything you could want and we didn't want to leave. It was by far the best rental we have ever stayed at. Our dogs even had a blast!

Coastal Oasis On The Chesapeake, King Bd sleeps 12

JoyceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My mom, sisters, friends and I enjoyed a relaxing fun filled time at the Coastal Oasis at the Chesapeake for our Mother's Day Retreat. The view is amazing and truly can be seen from every room in the house! Being able to see the beauty and calmness of the water helped each of us kick back and let the stress melt away. The big dinning room table allowed all of us all to enjoy breakfasts, dinners and touching conversations together. My guests loved the dĂŠcor and raved about every detail. The beds and furniture were comfortable and house clean. I would definitely come back!

Lovely Ocean View Cottage

LysanderRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Had a great stay! Chuck was really nice and super responsive. I felt right at home as soon as I walked in. Chuck really went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. He even made sure my pup had toys and treats. 😎 I will definitely be coming back. If you’re looking for a great place to stay for an excellent price, you should 100% stay here!

Gorgeous Vacation House

AlexisRating, 5 starstoday
The house was super clean when we got there, the temperature of the house was great the entire stay. The pool was certainly clean, but since we went early, June the water was a little bit cold, but it felt really nice and refreshing honestly. There were three beach chairs and a wagon there that were helpful for traveling to the beach. There were available cups plate, utensils, and all the necessities that you would need, they even had shampoo and conditioner bottles there for us. We weren’t aware that there was a code to get into the house so instructions for check-in were a little bit unclear, but all I had to do is message and they responded. Overall, I would recommend staying here because even though the area surrounding isn’t the nicest, I felt safe the entire time at that house!

Had a lovely stay at Pat and Nell’s. Was able to work in the mornings and take advantage of beautiful outdoors and access to the water from the dock. Highly recommend! Is a quiet, peaceful, clean, comfortable place to stay while adventuring in St Mary’s county.

Oceanfront Gem VaB Studio Exceptional Views

GingerRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This was our second time staying at one of Rebecca and Sean’s VA Beach condos — and the experience did not disappoint! This is just a perfect location, at the very end of the Boardwalk, with a private grassy lawn and outdoor seating just for the condo residents. Lots of restaurants in the surrounding blocks. Our favorite thing is the view — you look right out onto the ocean from the patio, and you can see the beach and the sunrise from the comfortable bed each morning. We spent unhurried hours sitting on the patio in the evenings enjoying the sound of lapping waves and the night sky. This cozy studio was just right for the two of us. Highly recommend. I’ve no doubt we’ll stay there again in the future!

Oceanfront, beachfront, boardwalk, fun, dolphins

AnitaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed staying at Kelly's place in VB. Its an ideal location for anyone who wants to stay right at the boardwalk. We witnessed amazing sunrises and moonrises. The ocean was right in front of us and from the 6th floor, the view was expansive. A lot of restaurants were also nearby. Kelly was always very communicative, polite and professional. The apartment was clean with the kitchen well stocked with utensils The bedrooms were of a pretty large size. And parking was on the premises. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and holiday for us. We strongly recommend Kelly's place.

Riverfront Oasis | Kayaks, Private Beach, & More

PaulRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This place was just amazing. The views of James River, and even the Jamestown settlement across the river (using binoculars) was just mind-blowing! Kevin and Jamie left a wide variety of amenities that were extremely thoughtful and useful, to include hygiene products, charging cords (which was a life saver because for literally the first time ever, I forgot my phone and iPad cords), coffee, and even a margarita kit! The cottage is so cozy, and was very clean. I’m definitely going to book here again.

VeronicaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay . It was more than we expected ! Rose was so accommodating . And she makes the best Belgium waffle with fresh organic fruit and granola we have ever had . It’s worth every penny !! And the coffee was approved by my husband that’s a Veteran that loves his coffee . Thank you Rose for making our two short days there a great memory . And I’m going to get that outside shower I’ve been wanting for years !!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. The dock is a very short walk and the screened porch was perfect for coffee with a view. I would definitely stay again.

Steps to the Sea at Salt Box

DanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great spot near the beach and town and close enough that you can walk to both. Home was very clean, updated, and well appointed, but still had the charm of a beach cottage. Kitchen had all we needed for cooking and the front porch was perfect for relaxing and watching our kids bike and scooter up and down the sidewalk. Anna was so responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We hope to come back again soon.

Little Gray Beach House

CorrineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved our short stay at the Little Gray House. The view alone was worth the stay. The beaches are both easy walks and the area is lovely. Everything was clean and cozy and Bronwyn and Kat gave lots of information ahead of time, including some great recommendations. Would definitely recommend checking out The Hatchery and the Gwynn’s Island Museum on the island and spending some time exploring Mathews. We will be staying here again and hopefully soon!

Chesapeake Bayfront Home with Amazing Views!

WilliamRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This waterfront home has gorgeous views. The location is very private and peaceful. Our family really enjoyed fishing from the dock, playing yard games (we brought our own), and just relaxing. Our two-night stay was the perfect amount of time for us to recharge. I would rent the house again.
