Perfect

I would definitely recommend this cottage! I was very impressed with cleanliness of this home. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. We booked this home to attend my son’s graduation from the US Naval Academy. It was the perfect distance from the stadium. The beach was very relaxing and private. We hated to leave.

Oyster Harbor Cottage

We stayed for 4 days and loved it. The cottage was tastefully done and immaculate! A short 5 walk to a private beach was a wonderful bonus. The beds were very comfortable and our hosts Winston and Carolyn were so accommodating. We would definitely go back!

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway

We stayed here last year for a long weekend and loved it so much we came back for a full week this year! It's the perfect place to relax and de-stress -- quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach, comfortable house, wonderful hosts. We spent all day on the beach with our 4-year-old and enjoyed trying different local restaurants -- recommended by Winston and Carolyn -- in the evenings. This is a dream spot -- we will be back again!

Perfect house in a perfect location! We drove from Long Island to visit friends in Severn on our way to NC. This house is perfectly situated on a quiet block across from a creek with beach access via a 5 min walk down the block. We met Winston and Carolyn and they were lovely! We look forward to staying at this house again the next time we visit our MD friends! Winston and Carolyn, thank you for making your home feel like our home! Especially with a 4 year old and 2.5 year old! See you soon :) —barely have pics because we were too busy having fun!!

Awesome cottage for Annapolis events

The Host was accommodating and easy to deal with on every way. The property easily accommodated 2 couples and literally is just a few steps from the local beach in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. Also an easy 5-10 minute drive to all local events and experiences around downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy.
