Waterfront Paradise with Pool & Hot Tub plus 4 King Beds & 4 Full baths

Holly Knoll is the perfect Saturday to Saturday getaway for families.

This stunningly beautiful, private and secluded waterfront home is yours to enjoy. Swimming pool, hot tub, dock, canoe, and kayaks allow you to enjoy this wonderful oasis on your own terms. The home is an open concept floor plan with the gourmet kitchen, living and dining room surrounded by floor to ceiling windows to allow in the natural beauty.

The swimming pool and lounge area provide hours of fun and relaxation. (The pool is heated throughout the season between 78-82 degrees) The pool was built with entertaining in mind. Surrounded by gardens and nature and truly maximizing the views of the St. Mary's you will find this oasis a much enjoyed retreat. The hot tub is on offer and requires an additional fee for activation. The pool and spa are completely automated and are attended to weekly by a professional service team. A gas grill, large seating areas and comfortable furniture complete the package.

Announcing additional accommodations for the 2023 Season.

The Boat Loft is ideal for guests who would like to have grand parents or another couple join the party (two person occupancy maximum) yet have their own self-contained accommodation. The Loft affords guests more privacy and a space to unwind away from the activity. The Boat Loft is attached to the main house and has its own secure entry. Well appointed, the Loft is a studio space full of light bringing nature into focus. A comfortable King bed, seating area for four, walk in shower and complete kitchen provide all of the comforts.

The Boat Loft is available only to guests booking Holly Knoll during the rental season and for an additional fee. The CLUB FEE will already be included in the quote. If you do not need the Boat Loft, just let me know and I will remove the CLUB FEE from Quote prior to booking or refund from the bill.

Holly Knoll is situated one mile from Historic St. Mary’s City and St. Mary’s College, Holly Knoll is a world apart from the everyday. Unwind and collect those precious memories with family and friends. Crab from the dock and enjoy Maryland’s finest shellfish. Take the Canoe or Kayak and explore the surrounding tidal estuary and small ponds. Soak in the sun and quiet beauty and experience old-fashioned tidewater summers. The St Mary's River is one of the cleanest waterways feeding the Chesapeake and the property is part of the Maryland Oyster Restoration Program.

Let your inner Julia escape the confines of the everyday. The gourmet kitchen has every amenity a budding chef could want. Dual fuel Wolf range with two ovens and Cuisinart as well as top of the line All Clad cookware will assist you as you prepare fresh produce gathered from the local farmers market and Amish farms.

Holly Knoll was built in 1993 and was named from the large grove of American Holly that grows along the river and stream banks. It was situated to be in harmony with the natural environment and to take advantage of the beauty of the St. Mary’s River.

Holly Knoll's main house consists of four nicely appointed bedrooms over two floors, accommodating 6-7 guests comfortably. Tucked away on the first floor is the Master Suite complete with steam shower. A full bath is also located on the first floor. The remaining three guest rooms occupy the second floor and share a bath. The second floor bedrooms consist of a king, a king, and a full bed. So in total, the main house has 3 king beds and 1 full bed. With the Boat Loft Holly Knoll has 4 king beds and 1 full bed.

There is a separate office located on the first floor should you choose to connect to the office. High Speed Internet delivers!

One mile from historic St. Mary's City, Maryland's original capital, and 15 miles from beautiful Pt. Lookout Park, Holly Knoll is well located for you to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. Day trips to Solomon's Island, Smith Island, Leonardtown or Loveville will satisfy your inner adventurer. Visit great little cafes, Amish markets and antique shops and experience for yourself how quiet, serene and hospitable life can be just a short 1.5 hour drive south of Washington DC.

Come and relax, unwind and re-boot! Well behaved dogs (2 max) will be considered.

Our family just can’t get enough of this lovely property. 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.

We loved our stay! 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.

Beautiful property

Spectacular water views, great pool (spent a lot of time here due to 95-100 heat all week - awesome AC) and hottub, very well outfitted kitchen, comfortable beds, very private and quiet. 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.

Great Stay!!

We had a wonderful 8 night stay at Jack’s place. The home was spotless upon arrival - great job by cleaning team! Jack deserves the full 5 star rating we gave him. He truly cares about making this rental a 5 star stay for his renters. 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!!

5-Star Stay at a Magnificent Riverfront Property!

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!

We have been renting properties since our children were adults. 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. I highly recommend this property.

Family Getaway

We celebrated our 40th anniversary this year and decided to take our family on a special vacation to mark the occasion. 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!

Enchanting Waterfront Escape: A Return to Holly Knoll Exceeds Expectations!

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.
