Magical

This was our second visit. The autumn view is just as beautiful as the summer view. As if that weren’t enough to make our eyes twinkle, the host added lovely little touches of autumn around the house. We felt at home and at peace.

Perfect Getaway

Enjoyed our stay. House was clean. View lovely. Only challenges were discovering after our first night that most of the windows in the sunroom were unlocked... and I wasn't thrilled with having to strip the beds before we departed.

Beautiful and peaceful getaway

The property was beautiful and the location is peaceful, secluded, and relaxing. We loved the sun porch with a beautiful waterfront view of the bay. Perfect place for a quiet and relaxing stay while enjoying beautiful views and nature. We would definitely stay here again. House was spotless and lovely decor. Very comfortable and hosts provided lots of amenities and information about nearby restaurants and shops in town.

Wonderful cottage

The cottage is beautifully decorated, comfortable and well stocked with anything you could possibly need. We loved sitting in the sunroom taking in the gorgeous views! The kids enjoyed the games in the house as well the lawn games. The owners left some very nice personal touches which were appreciated! We would definitely stay again.

We had an amazing time at the little red oyster house! The house was very well organized and stocked with all kinds of extras. St Clements Island State Park and Museum were very close to the house and we enjoyed visiting both places. The views, the wildlife, we loved it all . Perfect quick get a way for a little R& R.

So peaceful!

We enjoyed out stay very much in February. It was so quiet and nice. Very very clean! Three generations of family came and loved. The sunroom with the view of the water was amazing and nice and toasty for our winter getaway. Thank you Diane and Harold for being so helpful, all the extra nice touches you added, and sharing your lovely cottage with us! We would love to visit again.

Delicious breezes and two river views

We wanted (needed) peace and quiet and got that and more. The owners are pros and the house was a perfect “red cottage by the river”. Oh, and the adolescent Ospreys in their nest being cared for by their two parents was the riveting attraction.

A lovely spot

We had a wonderful getaway in this charming cottage, which was spotless and tastefully decorated. The house is well-stocked with not only the essentials, but extras that made our stay particularly enjoyable. The view is lovely and our daughters loved playing on the small beach. Diane was incredibly responsive and helped direct us to a boat rental in Solomons Island for the day. Five stars!

Friends Weekend

I spent the weekend here with my high school friends for our annual weekend to hang out and reconnect. The setting was perfect and we remarked that the house looked even better in person than in the pictures. Wonderful place for a low-key relaxing weekend. We used one of the kayaks, the fire pit, and caught some crabs off the pier. Definitely thinking of returning some time.

Artistic, Thoughtful BEAUTIFUL

This corner of the St Clements Bay is magical. My husband and I escaped to this peaceful, clean, beautifully arranged home. Each piece of furniture was artfully selected and had a special design detail. There was beautiful artwork all around the house , some even by the host! We spent our time in the back sunroom and pier with the water, wildlife, sunrise, moonrise, sailboats, speedboats and classic Maryland waterman’s boats as our scenery. The hosts labeled everything and many personal touches made us feel at home. We are appreciative to have had the opportunity to stay here. Can’t wait to book again.

No one wanted to leave!

We just had an amazing weekend at the Little Red Oyster House! Cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the hosts had thought of anything and everything we might possibly need. Every room was cozy, clean and comfortable and we all had a wonderful, relaxing weekend away! We enjoyed building sand castles on the beach, kayak rides in the water, s'mores around the fire pit, playing games at night in the sunroom and delicious crabs on the picnic table out side over looking the peaceful water. 100% recommend this beautiful home for a vacation and family getaway. Any possible thing you can think of that you might need for your trip, the hosts have thought of. Thank you so much for having us and we can't wait to come again!!

Perfect Get Away

We loved, beyond belief, your home! It exceeded our expectations. It was so clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and anything we needed was there. We were greeted with fresh flowers and a charcuterie board. Nice touch. This was my first time using Vrbo - we sure found a gem of a cottage! The property is beautifully landscaped. We enjoyed sitting outside looking at the water. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to use the canoe or kayaks that were made available to us. Maybe next time. Diane and Harold were fantastic hosts. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay for an extra day. We will definitely recommend your property to anyone coming to this area. Thanks again for a memorable time. Looking forward to future stays, God willing. 🙏💕

Beautifully appointed waterfront getaway

The Little Red Oyster House was a fantastic home to relax and enjoy the quiet waterfront. The hosts have put in lots of thoughtful touches to make guests feel right at home. Comfortable beds and furniture, clean linens, good wifi, a stocked kitchen, and beautiful artisitc and functional touches around the cottage make it a wonderful place to relax. The entire house was spotless and well-organized. The sunporch is a haven within the cottage with comfy furniture and panoramic views of the water to enjoy in all weather. The large yard leading down to the small beach and waterfront is fantastic, and the hosts have thought of everything to make the most of the property: kayaks, cornhole, croquet, beach gear, gas grill, and lounge chairs are all plentiful and in great shape. The firepit under the stars was beautiful. The hosts have taken a beautiful natural scene and added all the right touches to make for a wonderful getaway for children and adults alike. Hard to believe we were such a short drive from DC!

Family get-away chill time

Best VRBO or ABNB we've ever stayed at! Spotlessly clean and so organized to make everything easy for us to enjoy. The shed full of water craft is wonderful. Also, we didn't know the area at all and found Lewisburg to be great for dinners. I highly recommend this property
