This was my second stay here. since I was here last Lisa & John have added a beautiful addition onto the home. The space is so welcoming. we love how peaceful the area is. we saw deer & bunnies every day! The decor throughout the home is lovely, you really don't want to ever leave the house. Once again it was impeccably clean and so we'll stocked. We can't wait to return. Thank you!

This place was perfect for a quick weekend getaway. The apartment was about a half mile from the beach and local shops/restaurants. The hosts were super sweet and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Cove Point Cottage with Chesapeake Bay views

AmiRating, 5 stars4 months ago

thanks so much for the lovely stay. I thought it was so sweet they reached out to ask if it was okay to do some light decorations for christmas. I appreciate the consideration and loved them. when I arrived at the home one of the smoke detectors was chirping and I offered to replace it if they could tell me where some batteries were. bill came over right away and took care of the chirping detector. I really appreciate that.

Beach Front and 'Perfectly Placed'

AmberRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Teresa’s home was charming and relaxing. That’s the best words for it. The outside space was so peaceful. We absolutely loved the kayaks, making a fire, sitting outside listening to the waves, the beautiful sunset on the water, the quiet location. Very clean space. Had everything we needed. Coffee station was very nice. Comfortable beds. My girls enjoyed the bunk beds. Loved the deep bathtub. Very relaxing! Very nice washer and dryer with all the cleaning supplies you need, kitchen utensils, plates, glassware, pots, pans. The neighbors have the absolute sweetest most gorgeous Great Danes I’ve ever seen. They came over to say hi when I built a fire. Super amazing people to speak to. So kind and down to earth. Town is a little ways off. I’m so used to being in a city and a coffee shop being a mile if I wanted an expresso. I would suggest stopping at the market and picking up everything you need in advance. Fridge is spacious so it’ll fit whatever you bring. Enjoyed it so much!

Beach Please! River cottage w/private beach & dock

AudreyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This was our second stay at Beach Please and it was just as delightful as the first! The house was again squeaky clean, thoughtfully decorated and had plenty of room for our multi-generational family to spread out. Grandparents appreciated the first floor master bedroom and kiddos loved the game room, and the crafts and puzzles upstairs. The neighborhood is peaceful and cozy, with beautiful views in every direction. The addition of the acoustic guitar for songs by the firepit was a major plus, as our ten year old is a music lover and almost brought her own. We had a great stay and would recommend this AirBnB to anyone! Grab a week (or two) and don't think twice.

The Glebe

LynnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Excellent stay at RivahLife! The views were spectacular and the home was exactly as described. Easy to find with lots of stuff for the kids and adults. Looking forward to returning during the warmer months as the fishing, boating, and swimming would be more desirable. Thanks for the high chair and portable crib. Those things really help when traveling with kids.

Private beach retreat in historic St. Mary's City

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Spectacular place! Four stars! This place is beautiful! It’s in a peaceful neighborhood with other beautiful homes and on a quiet cul-de-sac. It has impressive, high-end appliances, lots of porches to enjoy the view of the water, a huge kitchen with lots of pots, pans, dishes, etc. The entire house is very large! We loved the big closet of games. We fished everyday off the dock, enjoyed the small beach area, and made a fire most nights. The hot tub was a nice extra too. We listened to Taps being played every night at 7:45 pm from the local navy yard. Everything was very clean and modern. Absolutely beautiful place!!

Cove Point Beach Home 1 &1/2 blocks to Beach

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had a wonderful stay! Our family of 5 (with 3 young boys) loved the vicinity to the beach and to other places nearby. The house was very quiet, comfy and clean, and the kids loved the reclining couches, roasting marshmallows, playing outside and just hanging out. Lorraine and Travis have stocked the house with just about everything we needed as well! We highly recommend and would definitely love to return one day - we had a blast exploring the area and hunting for shark's teeth!

Bayside Cottage- In the Town with views

KimberlyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this AIRBNB. It was walking distance to a nice Mexican Restaurant as well as to a brewery. We spent hours on the front porch in the nice rocking chairs. The back of the property overlooked the water which was beautiful! It was close to everything in town! The house was clean and had all of the necessities. We also enjoyed the front sitting area during the morning. The owner was responsive and helpful! We would definitely recommend this property.

NoraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

What a gem of a place! So cute and cozy. A great location! Loved all the natural light that came in through the big windows. Everything was so clean yet very comfortable. Enjoyed walking the beach. Found sharks teeth and sea glass! Such a great surprise to find such treasures! Lisa was so very kind and accommodating. Appreciated the extras like coffee, bottled water, shampoo etc and she brought some wood for a cozy fire. They really worked hard at making our stay very comfortable. Definitely will be coming back. But plan on a longer stay because there is so much more in the area to check out!

What can’t I say about this beautiful place! The scenery is gorgeous! Their hospitality was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. Their binder when you come in was so handy. They mapped out everything in the area. The Pier restaurant was so good! Will definitely visit again. Much thanks Lori!

Responsive and communicative via AirBnb app. Open to small changes we had to make. Beautiful house and wonderful neighborhood. Everything as described and reasonable price. Truly provided the BnB part of AirBnb with linens, cleaning/cooking supplies, and bathroom supplies. Very scenic. The pictures don't do it justice when it comes to the proximity of the dock. It is right outside the window of the master bedroom.

Radiant 2 bedroom house close to the beach!

EarlRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This house was amazing. Super clean with lots of amenities. Every detail was thought out to make our stay feel like home. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the UNO and Jenga games. The location was just right, close enough to everything without being right on top of it all. We did not have any issues but when I did reach out to Eboni she responded right away and it was a holiday weekend too. I would definitely recommend this house and looking forward to coming back this summer.

Most importantly, our host was amazing—she was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene and welcoming getaway. Thank you, for such a great experience!
