Wonderful St. Leonard Beach House

This quaint beach house is just a short walk to a private beach. We really enjoyed our 3-night stay and took daily advantage of the location to the beach and other sites, such as farmer's markets. Great communication with Chris, the manager, leading up to the day we arrived.

Fossil finding beach trip

Came to the area as repeat visitors looking for a calm beach trip with some playing on the beach and combing for shells and fossils. Been to the area before but first time staying at this property. Family had a great time. house was tidy and well supplied with kitchen gear, beach supplies, and linens/bathroom necessities. Beach is walkable but wouldn’t recommend with kids. Quick and easy drive and parking situation. Beach area is somewhat limited, think long and skinny. Family had a great time, other than wanting a bigger bed, it was a fantastic trip!

This was a wonderful, clean, cozy house very close to the beach. We went fossil hunting at Calvert Beach and also at Peres on the Potomac. We had our little dog with us and so we ate at the house most evenings, sitting on the deck which was very relaxing and Lovely. We really enjoyed our stay here.

We enjoyed our stay at this beach bungalow. It was evident that the property owner pays attention to every detail in terms of stocking the house. She went the extra mile to ensure guests have everything they would possible want/need during their stay. From kitchenware, to books and games, and beach equipment it was impossible not to have a good time. The proximity to the beach was an added bonus for evening walks.

We would definitely stay here again—and again, and again! Our staycation was for a week and we felt completely at home. Overall, it was very relaxing and enjoyable experience.The house is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone. The bedrooms are cozy and provide a great night’s sleep, and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need. The deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee or for an evening barbecue. The beach is just a short walk away.This home is especially family-friendly, with plenty of children’s equipment and toys available. We didn’t get a chance to use the kayaks this trip, but maybe next time!

Fantastic beach house!

This beach house perfectly suited our needs - close to the beach, clean, and comfortable. It’s incredibly well stocked with everything needed or wanted - the supply of beach things (toys, towels, wagon, etc) was particularly helpful! Chris was pleasant and extremely accommodating, allowing us to book the house within hours of arrival. We will definitely book again when we’re in the area!

Good for relaxing beach trip

This property served us and our kids well. It was nice that we each had a separate sleeping space. We also really enjoyed how stocked the house was with toys both for the house and for the beach. We enjoyed using the kayaks as well. The physical condition of the inside of the house could use a little extra upkeep but for the short time we were there, the house served us well.

Serenity

My wife and I spent the week at this property. Short drive to the beach. It was very clean and cozy. What a nice relaxing week. The beach was dog friendly and the lab swam all day long. We saw very few people at the beach, but everyone was very friendly. We would return.

Peaceful Getaway

The pictures and description were accurate. Chris was great to work with and she clearly places an emphasis on creating an inviting space. She was very responsive to anything we needed. As she mentioned in a previous review, this is an older home that is well maintained with the goal of providing an affordable and pleasant stay. We enjoyed our time and the neighborhood was one of the quietest places we've stayed in a long time.

N/A

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chris' Beach House. It is a quiet, comfortable, easy walk to the Chesapeake Bay beach. The house is fully provisioned for the comfort of its guests, complete with a beach / bay theme. We had everything we needed and wanted for nothing. Our Hostess, Chris was thoughtful, available, but never intrusive. Would absolutely love to return!

Lovely house, short walk to beach!

Beautifully decorated house with all the amenities! Seriously, a lot of thought and consideration by the owner for the renters here. Plenty of towels, sheets, pillows, beach supplies (chairs/towels), a fully stocked kitchen, laundry and dryer with a couple tide pods and dryer sheets. Condiments in the fridge, variety of toiletries if you’ve forgot your own. Not far from town and attractions either. If you heading here to search for shark teeth and fossils highly recommend a tour with chaptours.org. They’re literally 2 mins from the house and super friendly and educational. Would love to stay again!

Beach cottage Anniversary stay

Chris was fantastic communicating. The place is well equipped with much attention to detail. We were greeting with the smell of Fall in the house and anniversary wish. Lots of supplies there to get you started if you forgot something. We believe in leaving no trace, although there may have been a pup nose print at the door. 😉. Very much enjoyed the quiet getaway and the bay is very close. Thanks so much!
