Our family really enjoyed staying here. The house was spacious and there were many amenities. Outside, the property is large with a dock for fishing, a large lawn, small beach. We especially enjoyed the large indoor pool since a tropical storm came through toward the end of our trip. The owners were responsive and wonderful to deal with. We will definitely keep this property on our list for future vacations.

Our family had a wonderful time, with so many activities at the property we stayed together. The porches, swings, hammocks, pool, beach, pier, comfy couches, movies, music wow! AC worked as it should, a blessing in the heat and humidity. The lack of boat traffic made our stay peaceful. Thanks Kristin and Doug for sharing your home with us.

Nice place for a family vacation. Good location. On the positive: Outdoor space is very nice. Owners tried to have everything available. The indoor pool is definitely a plus! But it gets extremely HOT & HUMID during the summer months. It was still a great option. Also plenty of towels for the pool area. The screened-in porch was nice. The popcorn maker was a nice option but it burnt the popcorn. The margarita machine was a nice feature. Very refreshing. The owner replied quickly to any texts or phone calls. On the downside: Needs upgrades. The ceiling fans upstairs make annoying noise. Family didn’t use fans. Ice maker did not work in refrigerator downstairs. ( I saw a review from two years ago that it didn’t work then). We just bought a bag of ice. Dishwasher only had one cycle that worked (the 1 hour cycle). The hot water option did not work or the sani rinse option. So I hoped it was being washed with hot water. It was nice to have spices available, but again most were outdated when I looked at the expiration dates. Salt and pepper were available so that worked for us. Plates were glass. Not a good option. Bring your own bar soap if you like bars instead of liquid. Wash clothes were not supplied, just bath and hand towels. Dirt under beds. Trash was not emptied before we arrived in downstairs bathroom. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

We absolutely loved our stay at Piney Point. It was wonderful for a family of any ages. Plenty to do to keep the littlest entertained and the water is so relaxing. Highly recommend.

We stayed comfortably and traveled with two infants, a child, and adults 40+ and our parents who are 60+! This place offered so many unique memories and much needed relaxation- there’s something about the sound of this water that cannot be found anywhere else in the planet. This property is such a Maryland paradise and my wife ended up with a new hobby, my father in law learned so many new things, all of us felt stress evaporate, and my nephew learned new words! This is definitely an incredible find and the hosts are so kind and communicative, we are so lucky and grateful for them.

This was our third stay at this house as a family and we had a great time again. Our kids, 7 and 4, loved the indoor pool and playing in the sand at the private beach, even in cold weather. My 81-year-old mother also loved once again swinging in the porch swing and watching the sunset from the screened-in back porch. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and we had a nice dinner at the Ruddy Duck nearby. We hope to come back!

Our family had a wonderful trip away from the hustle and bustle of city living. The property was well stocked with activities for our kids and adults alike. We enjoyed crabbing, fishing, swimming, the play set, and baseball in the yard. We ventured out to dinner a couple times and the seafood was delicious! The family also enjoyed a nice day trip to Leonardtown, about 30 minutes away. Doug was very responsive when we had questions and Michelle the property manager was very helpful and provided excellent, local recommendations. There is an indoor/outdoor cat that frequents the property that we had to be mindful of as our family has 3 people that are allergic. Thank you for a great stay!
