Nauti is so very nice!

A clean, quiet, well appointed home with artistic touches, this hideaway was the perfect spot for our long weekend at the shore. We enjoyed the close proximity to “town” and even more the opportunity to break away when quieter times were desired.Communication with the host was easy and exceptional. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

memorable and magical stay

My husband and I had an incredible weekend here. The home was wonderfully decorated and extra cozy for the holiday season. The proximity to town was wonderful and we loved how tucked away this space was. We felt perfectly at home and comfortable.

Adorable getaway!

This house is THE best place to stay for a St. Michaels weekend getaway. Its only a 15 minute walk to main street and its on a quiet street so youre not dealing with loud visitors and tourist traffic. Decorating was tastefully nautical and the host was always available to tend to our needs. The kids are already asking when they can go back and i hope to make it very soon!

St. Michael’s Stay

Great getaway for our annual Thanksgiving in Easton Maryland. We were only 15 minutes away from our daughter’s house so it was so convenient. This house is charming and cozy on a quiet street. We were able to access the local YMCA, so helpful after all that turkey.

Gorgeous Home

We had never been to St Michael’s and loved the location of the house. The interior is immaculate and the location is ideal! We ended up staying with family for my nephew’s Bradshaw wedding at the Oaks which was beyond lovely.

The Perfect Rental

Everything about this property was wonderful! Great location - a quick bike ride or walk to town. In a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The house is relatively new, nicely decorated, well stocked, and very comfortable. It even came with bikes and kayaks!

Perfect for a Relaxing Getaway

We found everything we needed for a relaxing getaway and totally enjoyed our time at this lovely home. Quiet neighborhood yet walkable to town and close to the water. Loads of natural light, comfy beds and furniture, super clean, great amenities. Loved the outdoor fire pit and chairs! The only suggestion I'd make is add a little more to the information sheets for guests, such where the keys to the shed are (to access bikes), the different thermostats for upstairs and down (we didn't even notice the upstairs thermostat till our last day), and if it's ok to use the front door with keypad rather than carry the key for the side door. Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy cottage tucked away

This cute little house at the end of a wooded street is just right for three people, four max. Well equipped and clean, well stocked, although we would have liked two more towels for bathing. Both queen beds were comfy. There are kayaks although you’ll need an suv to get the to the river. And there are bikes (manual tire inflation). The grill is great, right off the kitchen and there’s a firepit (it was too hot out for that tho!). Jennifer is great for communication, very responsive. Explore the town and eat some crabs or great food at the many delicious restaurants.
