Round House -- Panoramic Views -- Chesapeake Bay

JenniferRating, 5 stars20 months ago

Sarah’s place is one of the most beautiful Airbnbs we have ever stayed in. We cherished every minute! The view from the house and deck is unmatched. The peaceful bay and wildlife was heaven for us and we didn’t want to leave when the weekend was over. The home has everything you need to make your stay so comfortable. Highly highly recommend this home.

Cottage in Edgewater

Waterfront Cottage with Private Pier

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Beautiful setting. Very cozy house that was well appointed with everything that we needed for a longer stay. I was able to cook full meals in the kitchen with ease and my husband grilled one night. Other than that, there are local restaurants to enjoy as well. During the day my boys had fun fishing and being out on the water and the sunsets over the lake was definitely worth sticking around for. Unfortunately I had to work during the majority of our stay but I was able to do that seamlessly with the desk and reliable internet connection. Overall we had a great time at Miss Kitty’s Place and would love to stay there again someday.
