The Space:

Effortless Main-Level Living: All guest spaces are on the first floor, featuring a bright, spacious bedroom, 1.5 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy family room.

Outdoor Serenity: Sip your morning coffee on the quiet front porch or retreat to the privacy of the fenced backyard and airy enclosed back porch.

Coffee & Pastries: Stroll just 2–3 blocks to local favorites like Blue Heron Coffee or Sprout for your morning fix.

Dining & Drinks: You’re minutes from the vibrant Talbot Street scene, including Bistro St. Michaels, Ava’s Pizzeria, and the legendary Carpenter Street Saloon.

The Harbor & Museum: A short, scenic walk leads you directly to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (CBMM) and the waterfront, where you can watch the skipjacks come in or catch a sunset cruise.

Great place and location

It's a very nice place and the location is great. Its not a professionally managed house which is fine, but we didn't know that going in. Everything is clean, but not professionally clean i.e. the sheets are clean but the mattress pad was not. I would stay there again.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2020
We appreciate the feedback, however, we want to remind potential renters that we use VRBO because the service provides owners the ability to manage the property. Our property listings are transparent and list the owner as the property manger. We contract with a local cleaning service, we have local contractors maintain the yard and the repairs and upgrades to the house. Additionally, many owners block time to use their property for themselves, friends, and family. We continue to keep the linens, towels, furnishings, and kitchen supplies updated within reason.

The house was as described and the location is excellent for downtown activities.Our only real issue was with the bed. Not terribly comforatble for us, and we expected a larger bed.If you sleep with more than one pillow, bring your own.

Perfect Cottage and Location

My husband and I visited St. Michael’s for our 20th anniversary. This cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It is central located so we were able to walk everywhere. The cottage had everything you would need to have a fabulous stay. The town is charming and the people are just as charming and welcoming.

Needs More Attention to Detail

It’s a cute house in a good location. I got to check in early which was nice. Compared to other places I’ve stayed, it just didn’t feel as welcoming. There are a few nits: 1.) Listing says it comes with toilet paper but there was less than a half roll in each bathroom. Had to leave and go get more. 2.) I had expected to be able to watch live TV given the listing indicates cable but it was not functioning. I was there for a half Ironman so I wasn’t really in town to go out a lot and wanted to stay in and relax before the race. The owner contacted the provider but nothing materialized. So, 3 days no TV. 3.) At 6:45 a.m. the day I was departing the cleaning service showed up. It was kinda a bummer because I had done the race the day before and was enjoying a quiet/relaxing morning. I told her I would be gone in an hour or so but she still came in, stripped the beds and started doing laundry. At that point I just loaded my things and left. It was weird to have a stranger come in the house while I was still there, and I didn’t invite her in.

Wonderful place to stay in St Michael's.

Perfect location

This clean and cute property is within walking distance (2 blocks) to the main downtown area of St. Michaels. We ran the half marathon during our stay, which ended on the street behind the house, and enjoyed the shops and restaurants during our stay. The owners were friendly and helpful, and all the check-out instructions were noted on the refriderator. Very easy and relaxing stay!

lovely home - owner could pay more attention to details

It was a lovely place to stay. The owners however, left absolutely no room in the refrigerator for food or storage room in at least one cabinet for dry food. The ice breaker was broken. I asked if they might send us some ice trays for us to use during our 5 day stay. Ice seems like a reasonable expectation for a rental house. We made 3 trips for ice to the local market. I did contact the owner about getting some ice trays but they never materialized.

Fantastic house in perfect location

This is a fantastic 3-br house, kept in immaculate condition and with great amenities, a handy kitchen, and an enjoyable backyard. The location is perfect, half a block from a coffee shop and 1 block from the main street with great restaurants and shopping. St. Michael's is a beautiful walking town.

Delightful home!

Stayed in this delightful home for a short getaway with my elderly mother and 2 friends. The home is an estimate older home that has been thoroughly updated and decorated in a warm, inviting and comfortable style. Impossible to describe how nice it is and the pictures don’t capture the ambience. Vince was a great host. He was prompt with communicating the entry code and immediately responded to our one need (info on how to operate the TV - someone had removed the instructions). I would definitely stay here again.
