We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! The home was immaculately clean and provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The cabin was spacious, well-maintained, and furnished with cozy furniture. And it had lovely views throughout. Convenient private spots. The nautical-themed decor throughout the home was lovely and added a charming, coastal vibe that made our stay even more enjoyable. One of our favorite features was the outdoor patio area. It was perfect for enjoying morning coffee or relaxing with a glass of wine in the evening. The lounge chairs were comfortable, and the atmosphere was peaceful and serene, offering a lovely retreat. The location couldn’t have been better! We were just a short distance from the wedding venue, which made our stay incredibly convenient. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated place to stay.

Cute, little property, perfect for a couple wanting to get away and recharge. Pool, beach and kayaks are convenient. You need to drive to restaurants but no too far.

My husband and I enjoyed our little getaway to the Heron’s Nest. It was just as described. The most important thing to me is cleanliness and it was very clean. The bed and couch were comfortable. We appreciated the coffee pods and creamer. It was very hot…mid 90’s…all weekend but the a/c worked great. Our favorite part was sitting by the water watching the boats and birds go by. It was very relaxing. We drive down to Annapolis for dinner one night. It was only a half a hour away. Great city! We had a terrific meal down by the harbor. Great stay! We would definitely recommend it.

We stayed here the day before our wedding and our wedding night a year ago as we got married at the venue next door and loved it! This was our 1 yr anniversary. The cottage is so cute and the water views are incredible! Used the pool this time which was great as it was 95 degrees outside. The AC in the unit kept everything nice and cool. Highly recommend!

Loved our 4 day stay. Cabin is updated and very clean. The view is what makes it super special, right on the water with wonderful breezes. Pool was a nice plus too. Kitchen was nice, but fridge was small with no freezer space. We would rent again!

This was exactly what we wanted for our anniversary trip. The house was spotless and just perfect. It is literally just a few feet from the water. When you look out the living room windows you feel like you were on a boat because all you see is water. We loved it and hope to return soon!

A very cute and comfortable house. We loved the view. Do wish it had a freezer for ice. We could have also used a container for leftovers and we could not find the hair dryer.

This was our third stay. It's still just as cute and cozy as ever but now has an updated bathroom. Waterfront cabin with great views is on a working marina next to a wedding venue. The small cabin isn't meant for indoor activities but the sheer beauty justifies any minor inconveniences. The steep stairs to the loft gets tricky. Watch your step on your way down. All in all it's as romantic as it gets when the surrounding activities are at their minimal.

From making the reservation to following up after our stay, Adrienne was responsive, easy to work with and very accommodating to our requests. We truly could not have chosen a more perfect home and location for our stay. The Heron's Nest is beautifully decorated, quaint and cozy with all the comforts of home. The property is exceptional with ample parking, fabulous water views, a large porch for enjoying morning coffee or watching the cruise ships coming in and out of port. We had a few guests during our stay, and many have reached out requesting information on the reservations process. I will be recommending "The Heron's Nest" to all family and friends. I look forward to our return visit in the near future! Denise & Family

Four far-away friends gathered for a reunion here for a couple of nights, and it was perfect. The covered porch and Adriondack chairs were our favorite place to hang out and enjoy morning coffee and meaningful conversations together. The tiny house is situated right on the Chesapeake Bay, and we were delighted by bird sightings (including a Bald Eagle who swooped down and caught a large fish right in front of us!), barge and ship watching, and lovely sunrises. Because the house sits on the marina's property, there is access to lovely green space, a small sandy beach, a fire pit, a small playground, and lots of space to run for kids. House was very clean and well-appointed. It's really a wonderful spot. The only things to be aware of are: 1. Because this is a working marina, there is a large multi-story boat storage scaffolding directly across from the house as you drive in. The house is set back across the drive from the stored boats and closer to the water, so, visually, it's not a big deal. 2. There is a wedding/event venue right next to the marina's property. We enjoyed listening to DJ music that drifted our way one evening, but if you're looking for silence, you may not get it every night. We didn't mind at all! It added to the fun we were already having. 3. All beds are basically in the same area with no doors, so if you need privacy or have light (or really heavy) sleeper in the group, it's something to keep in mind. We had an absolutely wonderful stay!

This petite cottage is brimming with charm. The picturesque marina includes complementary use of pool, beach, fire pit and playground for Heron’s Nest renters. Sweeping bay views are visible from nearly every window of the cottage — and there are many. Sunrise watchers will not be disappointed, and the giant porch with ceiling fans is a great spot to lounge and view passing boats and soaring seabirds. I’d recommend this listing, and hopefully will be able to return!

The house was so cute. It was very serene right on the water. The sunrise and sunset were amazing. It was awesome being part of the marina and having access to the pool and the marina community. The staff was very helpful in making sure we had what we needed. The location was far enough from the city to be quiet, but close enough to get to.

The view of the water from inside the house is amazing. Very clean throughout and decorated with a cozy beach vibe. My family and I enjoyed the sunset and sunrises, took a dip in pool and fished from the beach. I like how there’s food delivery options and clear instructions on how to keep the house. Overall, It was very relaxing. Thank you. We will definitely do this again.
