Historic St.Mary's City at the Lazy Bear Cottage

SarahRating, 5 stars4 days ago

We alerted Nancy of our late check in due to travel and she was so caring and thoughtful to make sure we found the place. How wonderful to check in and find an emasculate and more than comfortable place to rest our heads after a long travel day! Our fur baby felt more than loved with a special Love note waiting for him on the table and treats - and human treats as a surprise for us in the fridge!! We stayed each day with peace and coffee on the dock!! We felt so welcomed and cared for and appreciated it so much!

This is a gem! The other 5* reviews and the description and photos are all accurate. My family had one of the best times we’ve had in a vacation rental…and we have done several all over the world. Wonderful place to relax, but also have things to do. Great for kids and adults alike.

Spacious Gorgeous Waterfront Home with Sunset View

RonRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This house is perfect for large groups. It is very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the dock taking in the serene natural beauty of the Creek and observing the local birdlife, including Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons, and Bald Eagles. The house is situated very near to the entrance of Lookout Point State Park which we greatly enjoyed exploring on bicycles. Seeing a large wedge of Tundra Swans fly overhead was a special moment. If you want to spend some time relaxing in a beautiful setting in a beautiful and very interesting area with a large group, this house will serve you well.

RayRating, 5 stars3 days ago

I don’t know if I can express how much I loved our stay at Rich and Yumi’s place. The property is very beautiful, private and very peaceful. We enjoyed fishing and taking in all of the sights and sounds of nature surrounding us. The fire pit area and hot tub were very nice additions to the property. The house was very clean and comfortable. The house was very well stocked. Rich and Yumi pay great attention to detail. We were greeted by a nice welcome basket and card to welcome us. After departing we realized that my daughter had forgotten a few items. Rich was very responsive and helpful in locating the items and arranging to ship them to us. I absolutely fell in love with this place and definitely plan to return in the future. Thank you very much Rich and Yumi for sharing your amazing property with us!

Adorable Waterfront Apartment Weekend Getaway

TakiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Theresa place was everything that I needed. I wanted to get away and unplug from my daily stress and Theresa place did that for me. It was raining off and on, but it was relaxing and serene. The view of sun up and sun down was amazing, the water was tranquil as it splashed against the sand. At night it would light up and it was so beautiful looking out the big bay window. I honestly can say by day two, I was wishing I had reserved for more than a week. I’m already looking forward to coming back for another stay. Upon arrival I saw two big cookies waiting for me on the counter, delicious.

The house are clean, bright with a great view. We had a wonderful time and were lucky to have wonderful weather during our stay! We also had a lot of fun playing Mad Gab and other games in the games chest. We were successful in catching some fish and plenty of crabs. It was a great vacation. We enjoyed it very much.

Spacious and private waterfront, sleeps 10

MichaelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The location for this house is beautiful! We loved the private dock and spacious backyard. We stayed in late March so it was a bit cold some days but we still had a great time using the provided Kayaks and sitting on the dock and watching the beautiful surroundings. The location was perfect to have some s'mores nights around the firepit. The hosts were VERY responsive. The few times I had questions they replied within minutes and were very accomodating with our requests. They were very proactive with instructions and generously mentioned a foldable crib for the infant in our group - although we had our own that we used. The kitchen had all of the dinnerware and cookware that we needed for the meals that we made. The living areas were open and inviting. It was perfect for our group. One thing to watch for is the very steep driveway. It took a few times to get used to. We would definitely stay there again when we visit our family in the area.

Water House at Scotland Beach

PatrickRating, 5 stars4 months ago

A wonderful home. Outdoor setting was stunning and private. The house was incredibly comfortable and beautifully decorated. We visited for Thanksgiving week, with our grown kids. Kitchen had all the basics and we brought extra items for the special meal. Living and dining spaces were comfy and warm, with lots of entertainment options. Wifi was strong, accommodating several of us working - very appreciated! Bedrooms were very comfy. Master was huge, with gorgeous views of the water. Heat and hot water were plentiful. The instructions & descriptions provided were outstanding. Lastly, we appreciated that the home welcomed pets, complete with dog toys & bed :-). Thank you for a fantastic family vacation.

A fantastic weekend getaway! Natalie’s home is beautifully located, offers spectacular views, and is incredibly well appointed with thoughtful touches like extra plush towels and spices and coffee. We enjoyed everything and even though the weather did not cooperate we had days of exploring the natural beauty, history, and local towns.
