Paradise in Williamsburg next to Busch Gardens
Very close to Busch Gardens as stated and easy to find. The home was very clean and had lots of brochures for nearby activities and restaurants. Everyone including myself stated having had great sleep. The host is very easy to get ahold of and quick to respond. I highly recommend this Airbnb!

Bayview Cottage on SML- Westlake R26'ish
This location at SML is great! Its close to everything including the water. I spent most of my evenings during my stay sitting on the dock and just enjoying the quiet and the scenery. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend renting a boat and just relaxing on the water. This was a great and complaint free experience.

Comfy 1BR w pond view Kingsmill
Great place to stay away from lots of people. Super quiet and neat.

THE OLD SALT A | Beach Living
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Walkable distance to a lot of great restaurants and things to do. Really enjoyed the back deck. Would definitely book again!

Sojourn Guest House: Buckroe Beach Suite B
Maia’s place was super clean and comfortable, the bathroom was nice and it was exactly as described. We had a nice stay here.

Rustic River Retreat- 2 Bedroom Riverfront Lodging
Nice, clean place. Convenient location! Great if you want to fish or spend time on or near the river! Nice covered porch if it’s raining, great fire pit and chairs!

Historic St. Mary's City, MD
Our second time here! An absolutely adorable gem of an Airbnb with the nicest hosts and most beautiful garden and dock on the River! Great restaurant recommendations, super comfortable beds, and lovely living room. Perfect for families visiting the beloved St. Mary’s River.

Bayside Oasis of Southern Maryland
Sherril’s Bayside Oasis is an absolutely beautiful studio apt!!! It was spotless, comfy, and uniquely decorated. The location is convenient to the beach and within walking distance to plenty of shops and great restaurants and bars. Everything was smooth from check-in to departure. We had a wonderful stay and will most definitely check the availability of this rental when we visit North Beach again.
House rentals with beach access

Sunrise Waterfront Potomac Beach Haus
Less than .5 miles from sand . The kids loved staying at the house versus a hotel ! Was the perfect spot to relax and go on the deck to hear the water . Would definitely go back for another vacation.

Steps to the Sea at Salt Box
We stayed here a week ago and are still talking bout the awesome time we had. Beautiful home, easy walk to the beach and shops. Hosts were extremely nice, friendly, helpful and communicative. Would love to stay there again and are referring anyone who asks for a wonderful quiet getaway to this place. Stay here, you won’t be disappointed!

Bamboo Bungalo Duplex Near Busch Gardens
The house was very comfortable and well furnished. it was very conveniently located for our exploration of Yorktown Battlefield and Jamestown Settlement.

Pointe Haven near Historic Yorktown
We had a two night stay with the plan to spend a full day at Busch Gardens with my daughter and two teenage granddaughters. We found this home to be extremely comfortable, and conveniently located about 25 minutes from Busch Gardens. My granddaughters especially enjoyed the fire pit, with wood ready to light, and the supplies to make s’mores! Everything was clean and well thought out with great attention to detail. We look forward to a longer return visit before school in the fall!

Cozy & Content River Retreat Beach Hot Tub & Games
We had a great time at Nicholas and Dana's place! It was both fun and relaxing. We really enjoyed the little beach, the dock and the kayaks. We caught some catfish and one tiny crab in the crab trap (and threw everything back in). It was nice to have the firepit and hot tub to use too. And, the kids really liked being downstairs in their own space. The only issues were that the key pad wasn't working to get in to the front door which was frustrating after a long drive and the grill was very slow to heat up and probably needs to be replaced. Overall, this home was a really good choice for us and we would stay again when visiting family in the area.

Living on Island Time
We’ve stayed in several Airbnb’s and this one is our favorite! The house is absolutely beautiful inside. You really only need to bring clothes. Melissa has every toiletry and kitchen equipment available and then some! The beds are very comfortable. The pier and views are perfect! Highly recommend Island Time!!

Panoramic Waterfront: Fire pit, Game Room, Kayaks!

Historic Yorktown Water View Home

The Lake Getaway at Lake Gaston
Really cute place in a great area with super nice neighbors. Stay was comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook. Bed was comfy. Bathrooms were clean.

2 Bedroom Beach Condo Block Off Boardwalk
Tara's place was perfect for our family getaway. The inside was clean and tidy, the location was perfect walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of having sand toys readily available to play with. Tara had a great binder put together of things to do and places to eat with not only top favorites and recommendations but also local favorites. Our family would stay at one of Tara's places again.

Oceanfront Gem VaB Studio Exceptional Views
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!

Moondance at Bernard’s Landing
we had a peaceful and relaxing time. Kathleen's place is very clean, comfortable and has a great view. we hope to stay there again. thank you.

Oceanfront, beach, boardwalk, fun, dolphin, sunris
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.

Super clean condo with everything we needed. Perfect for a stay in Wintergreen!

We had an amazing stay at SML. The location was very clean and well maintained. Everything that was advertised was accurate. There were tons of activities available around the lake. We would highly recommend this location to anyone interested in a peaceful stay near Roanoke, VA.
