We've been coming here for 3yrs now for our annual girlfriend getaway, and it has become one of our favorite traditions! This is the perfect place for a quiet girls' weekend... peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, and right on the Potomac River. The setting is absolutely wonderful, and the home gives us the perfect space to slow down, catch up, and laugh, and enjoy time together. And the owner is truly wonderful. She is incredibly easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and always so accommodating. We can't wait to stay here again and highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful getaway on the Potomac!

Our week stay was so relaxing and fun. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, views from the deck (it's my new 'happy place'!), the wildlife - ospreys, eagles, and the dolphins in the mornings.  The games and things to do were also incredibly fun.  The place was very clean, as well as beautifully decorated.  Loved the towels too!  I would highly recommend if you are looking for a relaxing non-hectic vacation on the water!Thank you, Monica, for providing us access to your home-away-from-home!  3

We stayed at this waterfront house at Judith Sound from October 9–13 with our family of four and our hound dog. We enjoyed spending time outdoors, kayaking, fishing, playing darts, and kicking around a soccer ball. We spent about 4–6 hours each day enjoying the outdoor activities. Unfortunately, we never managed to catch a fish! The weather was beautiful on our first day, rainy for two days, and then cleared up for another lovely day.Our biggest concern was the number of large spiders around the exterior of the house, particularly near the entrances, as well as downstairs. This was something we found pretty uncomfortable during our stay.We also had an issue checking in because the keypad was dead. We had been told the house would be left unlocked, but it was locked when we arrived. Thankfully, we were able to contact the owner, who provided us with the lockbox code so we could access the spare keys.A few things to note for future guests: there were no laundry detergent pods or dishwasher detergent pods provided, so bring your own. There were also no extra trash bags. Only one bag was available, which was barely enough for our stay, and we would have needed more had we stayed another day.Overall, we enjoyed spending time together as a family and making the most of the waterfront location. With better management of the spider issue, a smoother check-in process, and a few additional basic supplies, the stay could have been even better.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 October 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the waterfront location and the opportunity to spend time together as a family enjoying the outdoors. We do want to clarify a few points for future guests. Our house handbook clearly explains that laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, and additional trash bags are not provided, which is why we encourage guests to review the handbook before their stay. Our check-in instructions also explain when and how the access code will be provided. Unfortunately, the guests initially went to the wrong house, which contributed more confusion at check-in, again why reviewing handbook is important. We were happy to assist and provide the information needed to access the property promptly. Regarding the spiders, our home is located on the water, surrounded by woods and nature. In this environment, insects and spiders are a natural part of the outdoor setting, and while we make efforts to manage pests inside the home, it is not possible to eliminate them entirely from the exterior. We understand that every guest has different expectations, and we genuinely take pride in providing a comfortable, enjoyable stay. We want our guests to be happy, and we believe that carefully reviewing the house handbook before arrival helps ensure expectations are clear and the stay runs smoothly, without unnecessary surprises. We appreciate that you enjoyed the home’s beautiful setting and will continue doing our best to provide a positive experience.

We had a wonderful time here. The house was clean, cutely decorated, and had everything we needed. There were so many things to do and play with there, so my children never got bored...and I got to enjoy some calm and quiet time while laying in the hammock, reading my book, and listening to the water. Overall, it was the perfect weekend getaway spot.
