Perfectly prepared home! Beautiful quiet community to relax and unwind. Our family enjoyed crabbing at the private dock, spending time on the water, and visiting nearby towns. The pool was nice, porch sitting was relaxing, and we even enjoyed evening campfires. The house was well accommodating with all we needed and more. Topher was an excellent host and tended to questions promptly and made sure we had everything we needed! Would definitely consider revisiting!
Charming quiet getaway in a tiny town outside St. Michael’s. Lovely home, well appointed and comfortable. Wish we could have used more of the outdoor amenities (weather was terrible). Would definitely come back when it was warmer. Loved sitting on the front porch with coffee in the morning.
The property was well apportioned, spacious, clean and well maintained. The pool was a nice added touch, and we enjoyed it daily. The family had a wonderful time on our annual trip, and we cannot wait to stay again next year!
A well-appointed home for a small group. Very clean, and the pool area is very well designed. Great location - quiet but close to everything in StM. I loved that crab pots were provided for the dock access.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
Despite how the listing appears (pictures and “Waterside” in headline), this is NOT waterside! Pleasant enough stay, but we had to do a bunch of cleaning upon arrival (owner’s hired cleaning service did a poor job - to owner’s credit, he tried to make it right by giving us access to his private cache of yard and water toys). Felt a bit bamboozled as the listing says it is on the water and makes it appear that it is on the water, but it is not, which left a bad taste in my mouth. House is across the street and set back from the road where they have a very small dock. Based on this, I would not have paid what I did for this place and would have chosen somewhere else. Having gotten past this, it was a pleasant enough stay, but house is just ok and cheaply constructed (master bath has no counter space, military-style shower, etc.). Nothing awful, just not as advertised and low frills - overpriced for what you get.

We’re sorry to hear—after the fact—that your stay was such a disappointment.
We do respectfully disagree that our listing is misleading. We believe the photos and description accurately reflect the home’s layout, amenities, and overall character, and we’re not sure how we could describe it more clearly.
As you can see in our photos, our property extends all the way to the water, where we recently installed a brand-new private dock. The dock is six feet wide and comfortably accommodates the folding rocking chairs we provide for guests to enjoy.
Over the years, we’ve invested significantly in renovating and updating both the home and the grounds. The 1st floor bathroom is the final area remaining on our renovation list, and we look forward to completing that update as well. This bathroom is shown in our photos.
We’ve stayed in many vacation rentals ourselves, and we believe our home offers much more than basic accommodations. We take pride in sharing our property the same way we use and enjoy it with our own family, and we strive to provide a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming experience for every guest.
The house and location was perfect. We loved splashing in the pool, fishing, crabbing, and floating around Balls Creek. House had everything we needed and would definitely rent again

Thank you Michael- glad to hear you and your family had a good stay!
Spacious rental was perfect for our stay. Our annual trip to the shore was upgraded this year at this home with a pool! AC works well, WIFI is strong, kitchen well appointed- even the knives were sharp!
We loved the house - it was a perfect base for my brother and I to visit my sister (who lives in the area). We had lots of space indoors and outside, and the pool, kayak and paddleboard were all excellent ways to beat the late July heat. Hope we can visit again!
Great property, extremely clean and exactly as pictured on listing. Host was responsive and check in and check out was a breeze. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quiet weekend away at the Eastern shore!
Very nice property and neighborhood. Really enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the pool and water access. However we had ants in the kitchen and Wi-Fi didn’t work.

Thanks for your stay and feedback. Sorry we were not able to get the wifi working during the storm related outage in the area during your stay. The wifi is currently back on and strong as ever. We also found cereal under the refrigerator that was there for weeks causing the ant issue. The area is now clean and ant free! Thanks again for your feedback as we are always trying to improve our property.
Wonderful stay! Enjoyed everything about it. House had everything needed to prep meals , use the grill and the enjoy water sports! Having a pool was such a bonus and helped us relax and cool down.
The house was even better than we expected. Absolutely spotless when we arrived. The amenities were amazing. We paddled ball creek and did a little fishing. The pool is amazing for the kids. We had an absolute blast and will be back again!

Thanks Phillip- really glad it worked out well for you all!
Beautiful home,cheerfully decorated and well maintained. The kayak provided is comfortable with an adjustable seat and pedals that I paddled for about 7 miles over two days in the area and used to explore the nearby waters. Clean, well maintained pool for relaxing and a beautiful deck and grill. The screened in porch makes for bug free relaxation!
We loved Waterside Cottage. It was so quite & the crabbing was wonderful which is what we were looking for. Topher was wonderful to work with both before we arrived & on the day of arrival. My husband is already asking if we can book it again next year.
We had a great stay at this house. We enjoyed using the kayak and paddleboard. (Access to the water is across this street.) We also enjoyed the pool and relaxing on the porch. It was about a 15 minute drive into St Michael’s, where we had excellent meals, went sailing, and enjoyed the cute shops and pretty houses. It was a really nice, relaxing weekend!
