Book a hotel near Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Edgewater

"The Shelby on the Bay house was wonderful! Of all the homes I've rented on VRBO, this may have been the cleanest home I've walked into! The view of the water from the front porch and front rooms and upstairs primary bedroom was terrific! It is a large house, and would host a large group of people beautifully! I only stayed in one bedroom, but I can say that bed in the upstairs primary bedroom is very comforable! The MOST positive comment I can make is about the host, Danielle. I had an unexpected very serious family emergency early into my stay, and ended up having to leave the home after the first weekend. Danielle was SO understanding and accommodating regarding my personal emergency. I am so grateful that she was willing to work with me on the price. If I ever have need to rent a place near the Chesapeake Bay again, I will absolutely contact Danielle about Shelby on the Bay! I would recommend this home to anymore looking for a vacation rental in that area!!"

"The property was clean and comfy. Our group of 11 were very comfortable in this beautiful house "

"We rented this house for a friends trip. All adults. It was perfect. House was well stocked with kitchen and bath essentials. Everything was very clean. Loved the hot tub and the view. Would definitely return to this property!"

"This house was perfect for a long weekend! It was very cozy and had multiple living spaces so if you wanted to find some peace and quiet, it was available. It is very close to Edgewater's town and Annapolis and the surrounding areas. We had no issues with the location or neighborhood. I'm sure in the summer we would have taken a longer drive out but the cold kept us inside. Comfy beds and anything you might need to have a "home away from home" was there. The fenced yard was appreciated by our dog too! The management staff kept tabs on us to ensure we had no issues with the heat (we were there when it was bitterly cold) and to answer any questions we had. I managed to forget a couple things and they even reached out to as if I wanted to come back for them. It was a lovely retreat. We were able to spend time with friends and some family nearby. I would definitely stay here again. The upstairs master bedroom is fabulous! Lots of outdoor space but again, if the weather had been more cooperative. It is a great location and rental. Thank you for sharing it with us! "
