Spot on!

Excellent/well-maintained rental. Communication was great and location was too. Neighborhood road is a bit dicey with potholes but nothing that caused concern. Dock and beach were also in great shape. We definitely recommend.

Awesome host and the place is beautiful.

Tim has a great place. It has everything you need, even its own coffee grinder and machine. He even provided the cofee beans for us. The house has ample space for 8, and also the property is amazing. Tim worked with us and accommodated all through our stay at rodo beach. Thank you Tim, looking forward to renting from you again in the future.

Beautiful beach house

My husband and I and our grown kids and dog stayed for 3 weeks at Rodo Beach House. The weather was mostly beautiful. The house is lovely and had everything we needed, including comfy beds! The owner is friendly and easy to contact. We had great fires in the firepit. Comfortable outside chairs around the fire pit as well as on the beach. The bay is incredibly clean, and the small private beach is perfect for people and dogs. The neighborhood, beach and surroundings are private, quiet and just beautiful. We really felt like we got away!

Paradise! Getaway from it all.

Lovely property with all the fun included! Our family loved the private beach and dock with kayaks, SUP and all sorts of beach items to make your stay comfortable at the beach. We had a wide age group and fun for all. Larger beach just a few minutes walk away too. House is new, appointed with all you need! Details described were exact. Comfortable beds! WiFi great. TVs are top notch. Love the firepit and backyard. Lots of light in the home. Coffee from Leonard town roaster was a hit! Fabulous to be away from the crowds! Kids loved it. Host was an excellent communicator. Definitely recommend!

Great place to get away from it all

The private beach was fantastic and perfect for relaxing, swimming, and riding the kayaks and paddle board! The home came well equipped with the basics plus a few extras as well, such as shampoo, conditioner, soap for both the indoor and outdoor showers, bug spray, cleaning supplies and fun games and toys for a variety of ages. The house was modern, clean and all the appliances worked perfectly. Tim was extremely responsive to any questions I had about the property. If you haven’t been to the area, it’s a bit remote, which is exactly what we were looking for, having previously visited the community. I was concerned about the internet as both my husband and I needed to do some work while we were there, but there was no need for concern- the internet was lightning fast as promised. Overall, a very enjoyable week, filled with sun, sand, s’mores, and seafood.

Quiet & Private Beach Getaway

We were a party of five adults with three dogs looking to enjoy the beach. The Rodo Beach Cottage was perfect for what we were looking for. The cottage was well stocked with any essentials you might have forgotten to bring along. It was wonderful having our own private beach, we never even saw another person while enjoying the bay. It was such a bonus to have kayaks and a paddle board right there, along with two blow up circle floats. The outdoor shower was so helpful with both humans and canines to leave the sand outside. The beds were made up nicely and the linens and bathrooms were both clean. The only thing we all noticed was the floor was most likely just swept, and not mopped. Becasue of the dogs, we'd wipe up water (from water bowls) and the paper towel was black. Underneath where the glasses are stored, there was a broken glass that had clearly just been swept underneath. A quick mopping or once over with a Swiffer wet between bookings would go a long way. That really was the only obvious thing we noticed. We enjoyed our stay and we all agreed we would go back again. It was a nice family getaway for a few days. The communication was so easy and all the information shared about places to go and things to do was so helpful and appreciated.

Relaxing

House was so cute and the area is quiet and relaxing. Private beach with amazing pier. We swam, floated, fished and made s’mores on the fire pits. Met one neighbor that gave us some fishing tips. Nice and quiet. Bring your food since it’s about a 30 minute drive to proper groceries. Stop in at Buzzy’s for a beer they are super friendly!

We absolutely love the solitude that one experiences when you first arrive to the waterfront in in St. Mary's County. There's absolutely nothing like it!
We live and work in the DC area and discovered this neck of the woods back in 2020 and instantly fell in love. Now we get to share that with guests and it's like discovering it for the first time over and over again!
