We loved the pool, spa and waterfront setting! Having a dock and being able to go crabbing was a treat! We had two dinners of delicious crabs! We appreciate him allowing our “boys” (dogs) to join us. Even though the weather did not cooperate for most of the week, we still had a fabulous time. We would love to stay longer next time! Thank you, Jack!! ##### Susani A.

This is by far the best property and host that we experienced. The pictures don’t do the property justice. It is so beautiful and such a peaceful area. Jack is a wonderful host and always available should you have any problems. We took our jet skis and for the most part had the whole river to ourselves.

My husband and I, our three adult children, their spouses, seven-year-old grandchild, and one small pup had a great time at Holly Knoll. We rented the house and the boat loft. There was plenty of room for everyone to gather together, but also spaces to go to get away from it all. The pool was a favorite spot! The dock was a great place to sit and enjoy the sunsets. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could need. Jack, the host, was very responsive. We had a great week! ##### Robin M.

It is very pleasant and peaceful, with well maintained grounds {with pool) on greater Chesapeak bay and a large comfortable house. Even though the host does not live nearby, he was always available and responsive. We are hoping to have our entire family there next year, As an aside, since there is no other way to give feedback to VRBO, I wish that they would not require entries for which I had no basis for opinion (in this case, "accuracy of listing"0 ##### Edward R.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful VRBO home! The property itself is nothing short of stunning, with a magnificent view of the river that we enjoyed every morning. The pool was fabulous, perfect for relaxing and having fun with our family. The house was extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making it feel like a true home away from home. There were plenty of fun and interesting things to do in the area, from scenic walks along the bay to local attractions, including the fascinating history of the St. Mary's area, that kept us entertained. Fishing, crabbing, kayaking and enjoying the sunset on the dock made this a most memorable vacation. A huge shoutout to our host, who went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing experience. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel right at home. We highly recommend this property and can't wait to return! ##### Jeff H.

As return guests, we can confidently say that Holly Knoll keeps getting better! Our previous stays were incredible, but this time was even more special. One of the most impressive updates was how skillfully Jack opened up the waterfront view without removing too many trees. This thoughtful approach not only preserved the natural beauty of the surroundings but also enhanced our experience with breathtaking views of the water. Jack’s attention to detail and dedication to maintaining the property’s charm is evident. The interior was as cozy and inviting as we remembered, and the addition of new amenities (including the larger TV and additional seating) added to the overall comfort of our stay. The salt water pool and private dock continued to be a highlight of our vacation, providing a perfect oasis for relaxation and fun. Once again, Jack’s hospitality was second to none. He was always available to ensure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Holly Knoll has become our go-to retreat, and we can’t wait to be back again next year! Thank you, Jack, for making our time at Holly Knoll so memorable. ##### Caroline H.

The main house is immaculate, the grounds are beautiful and we had a great time swimming and enjoying the fire pit. While it was cloudy all week, we still loved watching the sun go down from the dock. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/37f3aa55-ae32-4f25-a8e3-c522df96bf1f-1752944746995.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/861cf726-8ba1-4f9b-96ed-17f019df17fb-1752944746723.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2adbd501-9844-4326-9bb4-785e524c0e3e-1752944745738.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d855b56f-7f66-4116-9667-95f51ea1daa4-1752944743491.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jill R.

Uncle and nephews enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. Comfy beds. Only problem is the time passes too quickly. ##### Kathleen C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara E.

We just finished our third year visiting Holly Knoll and have already booked year 4 for August 2026\. The home has everything you need for a truly comfortable stay right down to crab traps to use on the dock and the crabs are truly spectacular. We loved the pool and porch sitting and Jack is a great, responsive host. 5 stars every time. ##### Sara E. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annamieka G.

Great family memories made by crabbing from the dock and eating our catch! Enjoyed the kayaks the first 2 days before it got too hot. Also enjoyed the the frogs, skinks, dragonflies, bluebirds, and especially the turtles (shared some watermelon with one!) Relaxed, memorable family vacation. Jack is the best host we've ever had - lots of helpful, accurate info and excellent, timely responses. ##### David & Nancy T. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen C.
