12 Best Airbnb Vacation Rentals In St. Michaels, MD - Updated 2024

St. Michaels, Maryland, is a great town with a rich maritime history. In the days when vessels used sails, the town’s seaport was a busy stopover. The exhibits and displays at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum are a testament to that. In 1813 the British attacked and blasted St. Michaels with cannon fire. They only succeeded in hitting one house, Cannonball House on Mulberry Street. Upon learning of the planned attack, residents hurried to hoist lanterns on treetops. Others had the lanterns on the masts of their boats. As a result, cannonballs overshot their town and spared it destruction. While in St. Michaels, plan your itinerary well as there is so much to see and enjoy. Accommodation is plentiful, so check out our carefully selected list of best Airbnbs in St. Michaels, MD.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 24, 2024.
