Holiday rentals with a fireplace in California

Great location for a low-key weekend escape from the city. House is well stocked and appointed. SUPs & kayaks available, everything was pretty easy to find or figure out.

This was our second time staying at Kimberly’s home, and it was just as magical as we remembered. The views of the water are absolutely stunning—whether you’re enjoying your morning coffee or winding down in the evening, it’s hard to look away. The location is perfect: peaceful but just a short walk to shops and restaurants. We also really appreciated the Peloton and treadmill—such a bonus for staying active during our trip. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully prepared. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to our next visit!

What a great find! We loved our stay and enjoyed the special touches that made us feel right at home. Definitely recommend and will be back!

This was our family's second stay at The River House. We had another relaxing and fun week! Kayaking across to the state park is one of our favorite things to do there. We also enjoy shopping and eating in Leonardtown. We had one rainy day, but reading on the day bed with a beautiful view (in spite of the weather) and working on a puzzle were an enjoyable way to spend the day. We hiked out to Calvert Cliffs State Park one day and enjoyed lunch on Solomons Island on the way back. John's pet friendly Airbnb is such an awesome place to vacation with our dogs. One of them loves to fetch her floating stick off the little beach area and play frisbee in the yard (bring a long leash that you can tie to the badminton net poles). Our other dog loves basking in the sun in the yard and on the deck. There are so many great things about this place, but the sunsets alone are worth the stay!

Words cannot express how beautiful and picturesque Robin’s home and property is. I got married on Hoopers Island and we stayed at Robin’s home. The house itself is incredible, from the decorations, to the appliances, to the views; everything was phenomenal! I highly encourage anyone looking for a place to stay on Fishing Creek, to stay at Robins. Robin as a host was incredible. Responsive, generous and so kind. Thank you Robin for making my wedding weekend truly special!

We had a great stay here. Beautiful views of the water. Hosts were quick to respond. Good WiFi. Large deck with teak table and weber grill. Easy walk to water access. The waterfront is the best I’ve seen on the Bay. Sandy with shady and sunny spots against the cliffs. From the water access, you can walk in one direction to the limestone cliffs for shark tooth hunting. The other direction goes all the way to the marina. We hope to stay here again.

We had a wonderful vacation here. Although it rained during our stay, we found the treehouse to be a great place just for listening the rain drops and having some inner peace.

What an amazing home! Bob was a great host. All of the rooms were very clean and there’s everything you will need at hand. Super comfortable beds. The views of the river are incredible with so many places to relax from the living areas to the outdoor deck on the second floor. The screened in porch was so comfortable. Fishing from the dock was a joy and just a great place to hang out and enjoy the water with our family. My son caught his first fish off the dock! The kitchen is a cook’s dream. Again, theres everything you need to prepare meals. Loved the huge kitchen island! Don’t forget to just stand and enjoy the view of the dock and river from the kitchen window. The downstairs den and bar area was just perfect for relaxing and watching tv. The house is on a cul de sac with only a few homes…very peaceful. We loved this place and plan on coming back again for our next trip! Thank you Bob for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

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.

Our entire stay was absolutely phenomenal. We loved every bit of our experience. Our host was so kind and accommodating in all ways. He was attentive and always available. The space was clean and extremely spacious. He even went out his way to come and personally take a look at something we needed assistance with. The entire place was great. Very safe and very comfortable, would recommend to any to stay! Definitely more of a 2 people and couples area to stay as a recommendation. Either way, can’t go wrong with staying here! :)

Lynnette's house was perfectly located! It sat on a quaint side street with quick access to King Street. The parking options were definitely worth it, as spots on the street filled up quickly. Her home was fantastic! Super clean, great layout and decor, and the tucked away patio off the bedroom was a plus! It does sit on top of a nice salon, so was constantly on the kids about noise during active times. Something to consider if you're bringing little ones and want to remain respectful. A must stay if traveling to the Alexandria/DC area!

AMAZING location! We loved being able to park the car and walk to the shops, brewery, winery, restaurants, farmers market and more! The place was peaceful which helped since we had a baby with us. We would definitely rent again if we were to go back!

In town for a conference and this was an easy location for commute and evening access to food, walking trails and views of the city. Would stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at Shawn's place. It is located in an absolutely beautiful area with a gorgeous view of the water. The place was beautifully decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. There were plenty of places to relax outside with a view of the water. We enjoyed taking the kayaks out and watching the sunset each night. Shawn was a lovely host and is a genuine person who wants you to have the best stay!

Always a great place to stay each time I am in town.

Absolutely my favorite place to stay in Alexandria. The location is perfect, the space is beautiful, not a single complaint. The noise wasn’t an issue at all for me, and I’m a light sleeper. I felt safe in this home and as a solo traveling female that is priceless. Parking was never an issue. Highly recommend.
