"Plus: nice size house; responsive property manager; kitchen reasonably well equipped; nice shared living area; great to have second refrigerator and stove. Minus: no broom (that we could find); leaves thick and slippery on the driveway and steps (with a broom we could have swept them aside, which would have been very helpful); hot water was SCALDING and it was difficult to get any faucet so that it was hot w/o being too hot (honestly, this would be a safety issue if children were staying at...

"This was a great place for a December get-away. The location was lovely, and well stocked, with a full kitchen for those who like to cook, herbs, spices, condiments, cleaning supplies, fluffy bathrobes, q-tips, laundry detergent, etc. We needed to communicate wtih the owners a few times, and they were a pleasure to talk to. We decided to spend a little more on our get-away, and it was totally worth it. "

"We had a fantastic stay at the Hideaway in Hays Beach. We were coming up to see our 93yr old Grandmother who lives about 45 minutes away. Our families rented two homes in the area and were able to enjoy our time with three generations that aren’t able to see each other often. The home was exactly as shown, perfectly decorated and incredibly well stocked! We’d absolutely come back!"

"Check-in was easy, the kitchen was amazing, and Wi-Fi worked great. The in-door pool was a big hit. There was a lot of room to spread out and/or to gather together. The third floor Pirate's outlook was a big hit with the kids. Everyone thought that the beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was nice, as was the fire pit. The paddle boards and kayaks were fun as well."

"Gorgeous home. Pet-friendly with a large pet bowl by the back door. The description said "one bathroom" but actually has 2 toilets, 3 vanities with one shower that is separated by pocket doors. We woke early each morning to amazing sunrises over the water with large windows at the back of the home. Plenty of room to walk our 2 little dogs on beautifully maintained property. Large, well-stocked kitchen with both Keurig and Nespresso machines. Beds are clean, comfortable with quality linens. ...

Hilton Garden Inn Solomons

Hilton Garden Inn Solomons

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here! The property is very nice and affordable. We went for World Cup in Mechanicsville and the drive was super easy! A HUGE shoutout to the night manager on the night we checked in for understanding we would be late because of a delayed flight. My husband and I were both nervous wrecks because our flight was delayed 6 hours and we missed picking up our rental car. She made the trip much less stressful by ensuring a room would be ready once we arrived even though it was technically past check in time!! Couldn’t be more thankful! Our only “dislike” of this property was breakfast wasn’t included and it was kind of pricey. We ended up getting breakfast at a Wawa down the road and it all worked out fine. :) "

Vacation rentals offer extras such as kitchens and laundry facilities to help you enjoy your stay. If you're concerned about cleanliness, a vacation rental can offer a sense of security away from shared hotel elevators and busy front desks while still allowing you the experience of travel. You'll also get more space in a vacation rental than in a traditional hotel, which makes a vacation rental a popular choice for family trips.
