House vacation rentals in Essex

Beautiful house and property, great location, and the host was super responsive. Hope to return sometime soon.

The house was exactly as described and it was so easy to communicate with them as they responded to texts within minutes

We had a great stay at this clean, comfortable, convenient and cozy house. We were impressed by the attention to detail. Every time we needed something, it was there. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal. We were close to Annapolis And had an easy drive to the museums of DC. We took several walks to the nearby beach, and enjoyed both sunrises and sunsets. We would definitely come back! Thank you, Peggy!

The house was roomy and accommodated our large group. Really enjoyed the Bible verses on the walls.

We had a great weekend! The host was incredibly kind and accommodating, making check-in and communication smooth from start to finish. The house itself was well-stocked, clean, and thoughtfully organized—perfect for relaxing with a small family group. We especially enjoyed winding down in the cozy living room and falling asleep to a movie after a fun day out. Would absolutely stay here again!

This was a great place for our family of 13 to stay during the weekend of our niece's wedding in Baltimore. The home has plenty of large common areas, dining space, and super comfortable beds - even the queen-size bunk beds on the lower level had high-end mattresses. The kitchen is well-equipped. We had 4 additional family members drop in for dinner on our last night there, and it was no problem preparing food for, and serving, 17 people. Everyone was happy with this choice for our accommodations.

We really enjoyed staying here. It was a spacious home and we love the community. We were in town visiting family and It was so convenient being so close to family and friends. Very comfortable

I stayed at Will’s property for four nights in March 2025 with a group totaling nine people. Upon arrival, we found the property clean and free of clutter. The property was conveniently located within walking distance to Union Market and the metro, allowing for easy exploration of the greater DC area. Will was an exceptional host, demonstrating prompt, friendly, and professional communication throughout our stay. Will graciously accommodated an early check-in and late check-out, which gave my party extra time to explore the DC area before our departure. I would highly recommend this property for groups of 5-9 people and would gladly return if visiting the area again.

Kevin is a great host to us year after year! we love staying at his place!

Maggie’s house was perfect for our family getaway! You can’t beat this location. It was a quick walk to Eastern Market metro and tons of local shopping/dining options, yet the street was peaceful and quiet. We were able to spread out and relax as a family of three with two dogs. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Maggie was responsive and helpful from booking and through our stay. 10/10, would book again.

We spent a few nights at Basit house, and would definitely stay again if we were in the area. Samad is very responsive and helpful, check in was super easy with the code being sent to get in, so very flexible. Beds were comfy, everything was clean, it was lovely to have the guidebooks and tea/coffee/cereal bars available to us. The HVAC was a bit noisy at times but that would only impact you if you were using the sofa bed, and Samad does provide earplugs. Quiet neighbourhood, people in the street said hello, walkable to the metro and Safeway was just up the road too. Thank you Samad!

This was my first time using Airbnb, and I was a bit nervous since I didn’t know what to expect. However, the host provided clear instructions before my arrival, which made checking in easy. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the home—it exceeded my expectations. I’m typically used to staying in hotels when I travel, but this home offered much more privacy, which I really appreciated. While there was a nearby freight train, it didn’t bother me at all. The host was very responsive to my questions and helpful throughout my stay. There was a minor issue with the garbage disposal, but once I let the host know, they had it fixed by the next day, which was great. The location was convenient, with plenty of retail stores nearby like Marshall’s, Ross, the Nike Outlet, H&M, and even Dave & Buster’s. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely stay here again if I’m back in town.

Stuart's place was exactly as pictured. his home was clean and welcoming. Everything was walkable, with many bars and restaurants nearby. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we slept soundly each night. The neighborhood is terrific, and the Sunday farmers market is held practically next door. Stuart was very quick to respond to my questions both before and during our trip. We will definitely stay here again, the next time we are in town. If you are looking for a home away from home in DC, don't look any further than this fabulous house. You won't be sorry.

Had an amazing stay! It was exactly described. Very clean and easy to find. Jennifer was a great host. Would stay here again.

Such a lovely, comfortable home. Everything we needed. Loved the location. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and neighbors were friendly. There's a park with walking trails and lake half a mile walk away. The house was perfect. Relaxing. Comfortable beds and bedding. The record player was an added bonus, as were the puzzles and board games for the rainy days. Communication was excellent. Answered any questions quickly and was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Tony’s house. It was the perfect location for us. It was very comfortable with plenty of room for all 7 of us. We will definitely be back!

Franco was always very quick to respond and accommodating to our requests. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays, which was important to us as we were celebrating Christmas there. The house is in a very quiet area with a large yard.

- I wanted to have a nice getaway with my partner and couple friends since it was her birthday, this was everything I wanted and more and loved how comfortable and nice the home was. Will definitely be coming back in the future! Thank you Adam!

Erin's place was a great place to stay in Annapolis. My family was in town for Commissioning Week at USNA. Annapolis is a beautiful town with tiny streets, so being at this location aloud us to walk to the Yard and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. Thanks again Erin for your hospitality.

Tyler's place was perfect for our stay with our extended family. It's spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax indoors and out. It has a very nice large porch and deck, great for some solitude or for kids to play. The beds were comfy and the linens ample, there are gorgeous large bathrooms and luxurious showers, the kitchen was well-stocked and included an amazing high-end stove, and the living spaces are nicely decorated and furnished with art and tons of books. One bedroom had lots of toys and kids' books, a very nice touch. Tyler was helpful, accommodating, and responsive. The location is very convenient to Arlington National Cemetery and within walking distance to a Metro stop. Everything about this rental was fantastic--we highly recommend it if you need a lovely space for a large group. Thanks, Tyler!

Great place, clean, had a little issue with the washing machine but Carlos responded fairly quickly. The House was a little far from the monuments but worth the stay. The stair are a little steep would not recommend anyone with a disability. Other that that I enjoys my stay.

The house was comfortable, clean and quiet. It was exactly what I was looking for to participate in a nearby competition. There were minor issues that the host addressed quickly and we got back to our vacation. Would stay here again.

The cottage /house was peaceful on the edge of an inlet from the Bay. The patio was lovely. It was chilly so we couldn’t use the kayaks. The kitchen was very well equipped. The dishes, utensils, cookware were quality. The extra cozy blankets were nice. He responded to a request very timely. We enjoyed the stay very much.

Schannette is a great and responsive host. A very homey-feel like accommodation which has everything you need, all kinds of amenities, (my kids love the super soft toilet roll😆) especially the kitchen. All you need is just pack your own clothes. Regarding the parking, backyard can bearly fit in 2 small cars only. But big enough for us to park a mini-van.
