Holiday rentals with a fire pit in California

We loved the experience from booking to check-out. The setting exceeded our expectations. Peaceful and beautiful landscape. Easy to launch kayaks. Chickens were an added bonus. Appreciated the close proximity of Blackwater. Would love to return.

Kristi is an exceptional host. She's so warm and helpful - and she thought of everything! The beds were comfortable and the house is cozy and warm feeling. I was surprised and delighted to find that she even had the little strainer I like to make my morning tea! I was also surprised that even though the neighborhood is close to the main road, the house is very quiet. I would definitely come back!

Came back for a third visit and had a lovely time at this peaceful retreat.

Really enjoyed holiday get away . Place was located near water with great views. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood was quaint. The town was was pretty with water on each side with the Christmas lights at night . We truly enjoyed our relaxing stay . Would definitely book again

Wonderful accommodations for a relaxing visit to a beautiful island!

This home is just as advertised...it is very large, great for several families vacationing together! Our group was small so we didn't even make use of all of the space. The house is right on Tanner Creek which is just beautiful for sitting on the dock and relaxing, paddleboarding and kayaking, birdwatching, etc. It's also about a mile from Lookout Point State Park which is absolutely gorgeous. Restaurants and grocery stores are few and far between in this area, so it's a good idea to bring your own food, and the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans for cooking. If you are looking for a place to relax in a calm and beautiful setting, this is it!

Quiet location at the end of the street. The fenced-in yard is great for pets. The house has an interesting layout making the primary bedroom feel separate and private from the rest of the house.

Cottage is pleasantly decorated to feel homey and still have a water escape feeling. The fire pit located at the house and by the water are very enjoyable. Having a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed to prepare dinner made our getaway so much more relaxing. Town stores and local food wasn’t too far away and the drive was scenically calm. We look forward to our next booking at this destination

This is a great place to stay and tour the DC Metro area - provided you have a car. Most days it would take us 30 minutes to get to and from DC though if we hit rush-hour, it was as long as an hour. The space is tidy and great. My kids love the pool, though it was a little cold for me-they swam there every night. Jennifer is great to communicate if you have any needs she gets stuff done right away. Note that there is only one bathroom, which can be a pain if you have a full house of six people. The washer and dryer are small so it will take you longer if you’re used to a full size. She had all the cooking methods and appliances available. The theater room has Netflix and Amazon prime ready for you to watch a show. There is even a popcorn maker. We did not use the gym, but it was nice - comparable to a small hotel gym. Property is in the owner’s basement, so there is some sound from upstairs as identified in the listing. Host stays out of your way but is there if you need anything.

Great stay with Randy and Carolyn they made me feel right at home. I would love to book again when I’m in the area

This is a beautiful waterfront property located close to everything that Lexington Park had to offer. The host has organized the apartment very neatly with lots of useful information and entertainment. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again

Rebecca’s place was much bigger than we expected and had everything we needed. So happy that our dogs were able to stay with us! Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with a path nearby that lead to a playground and area to walk our dogs. Will definitely stay again!

We rented A Little Slice of Cambridge because of the Iron Man competition held that weekend. It was convenient to the venue...and allowed to walk to the competition and nearby restaurants. Pamela was a wonderful host...communicating easily. The rental was well stocked with toiletries, dishes, pots and pans and extras. The house was comfy and the beds comfortable. An enjoyable stay...unfortunately, we weren't able to stay for more sightseeing...although I did walk down to the Lighthouse and beautiful wharf.

Private, safe, peaceful environment. Close to nice trails that take you places. Nearby groceries, dining, entertainment. Recommend Rudy’s Gold & Sports Bar for food and fun. Would stay again.

We spent a month in this apartment while waiting for our new home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect—the apartment was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had all the amenities we needed to feel right at home. It was spacious, comfortable, and an absolute pleasure to stay in. What truly made this experience exceptional was the hosts. They were beyond amazing—thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had everything we needed. When we had an issue with the refrigerator, they didn’t just fix it; they replaced it with a brand-new one within two days! Their kindness and efficiency made us feel incredibly valued as guests. Spending a full month here, we truly got to appreciate how well-maintained and well-equipped the apartment was. It was a perfect home away from home, and we are so grateful for the hospitality we received. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Maria’s place! Everything was comfortable, clean, and convenient. The house has character and charm while also being modern with a luxurious feel to it. We walked to and highly recommend the Bakist for coffee and breakfast!

Enjoyable getaway in Blackwater area. The cabin really felt off the grid, and I enjoyed the wide selection of movies and non-internet entertainment. The area is very buggy when we went in early June, I wasn't quite ready for that as Cambridge is not. I liked the feel and would recommend it for anyone looking for quiet and remote feeling, but not challenging to get to.

The house has been beautifully remodeled. Beds were comfortable and overall the home was well laid out. Location is in a neighborhood and about a five - seven minute drive to Calvert Cliffs Park and shopping. Driveway has ample room for two cars. Everything we used in the house worked well. Plenty of games to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. There is a beautiful deck out back but no chairs set up. ☹️ Adding chairs there and a grill would be excellent additions to the home. We had a great stay and the host was very responsive. Grandkids had a successful shark tooth hunt and left happy!

This place could not be more perfect for our trip to DC. It was the perfect distance to the metro. Our group of 8 had so much space of our own, yet plenty of room to be together in the common spaces and not be on top of each other! We went in the coldest month of the year, so unfortunately we didn’t get to experience the best of what the outdoor areas had to offer but the views were breathtaking regardless. Melanie’s place was extremely clean and everything was provided and then some! Everyone in our group would like to go back in warmer months to spend more time outside. Before we got there, Melanie explained that there was an issue with one of the sinks in the cabins and said she would credit us accordingly. I thought that was great! It did not hinder or create a problem whatsoever! I hope we get to make it back sometime!

WOW. This was one of the most wonderful homes we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was clean, comfortable and accessible. Marissa was so helpful with recommendations, flexible check-in times so we could get my little one down for a nap, my three-year-old love the pool, dedicated playroom, toys, swing set and s’mores that were such a perfect gift from Marissa. My son asked if we could move there! My husband and I loved the kayaks and pond. We saw bunnies in the morning - it’s truly magical. It’s so private and just 2 mins away from town. We made so many memories and I can’t recommend staying at this property enough.

We enjoyed our stay here. Very quiet area, nice comfortable space. The gravel road leading in (maybe a half-mile long) and driveway gave us a good area for morning and evening dog walks. We did not end up doing any fishing but the pond looked like a great place for kayak fishing. Not specific to the house but in the area: Rita's Cafe in Weems was great (food truck on a small road)--Chef Craige usually has a special and some regular menu items. Leadbellys (at Fairport Marina) had good oysters and hush puppies and was convenient for our first night. River Market in White Stone has good food to be ordered at the rear counter and prepared items in the coolers. Out of the Oven Bakery (White Stone) had great bread Miss Mary's seafood, also in White Stone had great fresh fish and prepared items. The three places in White Stone are very close to each other so convenient when running out.

Great quiet and secluded place. Very clean and roomy. Nice pond that was good finish with the kids. Definitely going back at some point

Pizza Friday was an amazing find! We spent a family reunion on the porch making pizza's in the oven. We obtained crusts from an Italian restaurant in California on our way and it proved to the perfect choice for us. We also enjoyed the dock and even caught a few crabs to show the kids. In addition we sat around the fire pit in the evenings. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean inside although we spent most of our time outside on the porch.

What a joy of a stay. The host is so incredibly welcoming to their beautiful property. It was exactly what you need for time in St. Michael’s. We would absolutely stay here again.
