9 Best Lighthouse Airbnbs in the US | Condé Nast Traveler

"For a bright, airy, and convenient stay, this keeper’s house shares a site with the only active and operating lighthouse on this list, perched on a seven-acre point along the Chesapeake Bay. The 40-foot tower dates to 1828—the oldest continuously operated lighthouse in Maryland—now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and cared for by the Calvert Marine Museum. Lovingly restored, the cottage sleeps up to eight (two queen bedrooms, a twin room, plus a living-room sofa bed) and includes a cozy reading nook, free parking, and beachfront access renowned as a prime spot to dig for sharks’ teeth and shells." - Jessica Chapel
