Exactly what we needed

Kathrine Marie was an excellent ending to an east Coast baseball trip. As a fellow VRBO owner, I appreciate those hosts that let you check in early if the property is available. Perfect location and a friendly host. Property is just as described in the listing.

Really nice experience. Bed was comfortable. Bunk room provided opportunity to sleep under the stars. Pleased with perfectly serviceable bathrooms and kitchen. Music system throughout boat. Unobstructed views of the water. Did not attempt to use TV. Glad to have experienced the Eastport end of town. Much prefer to the busyness of “downtown” Annapolis, with a reasonable walk to that area. Restaurants in Eastport were all great. Would def stay on Kathleen Marie again.

Fun Fall Weekend Stay

We really enjoyed our weekend on this boat - the views of the water from the upper decks are great. A very comfortable boat - the aft stateroom is quite large.

Boat getaway

We had such a relaxing time on the boat. Conveniently located within walking distance to eateries and historic downtown. We really enjoyed our stay. The boat was very clean and comfortable for the two of us. Really enjoyed the location within the marina no one was behind us so we could enjoy our coffee and drinks watching the sailboats and others go by.

First Yacht experience

This was an awesome experience. We definitely would do it again. The yacht was clean and all the amenities we expected. The location is great in a quiet yacht club. Felt very safe and our belongings secure.

A Unique Stay

A great experience. We had a wonderful fall weekend - despite a bit of rain. Staying on the water was great. Convenient parking, Oscar's coffee trailer in the parking lot was a nice surprise, walking to Bakery & Co for fresh pastries. The boat was set-up well with everything that we needed. Sunrise over the water was great. Close enough to downtown Annapolis to be convenient but without the crowds. A great stay.

Weekend on the water

It is in a very beautiful area and very nice town of Eastport. The accommodations are clean and very unique place to stay compared to the land alternatives. An easy walk to many places to eat and explore. It is also a short drive to other areas near the Naval Academy. One word of advice, the boat does sway some, but usually calms down later in the evening when boat traffic stops in and out of the marina. Pretty cool too stay on a yacht, if you are interested in the unique setting and like the water, this place is for you!

Climb and Jump

The stay was very nice and some flip over stairs as expected! The advertising was accurate and complete. Since our group were all in our seventies getting on and off the boat was a major concern. There were no visible stairs or gang plank to use. We had to climb our way on to the boat and we had to jump off to leave. It was especially difficult when the tide was in because the boat was higher.

Simply Extraordinary

This is by far one of the best stays I have ever booked. The yacht surpassed what I had hoped it might be. Sunrises were stunning from where she was moored. Climate control was great. Temps outside dipped a bit over the weekend, but we were quite cozy. The living room and covered outdoor deck were incredibly comfortable. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms - such great space. Communication with host was great! Really hope to book again. Such a great stay!

Beautiful boat with beautiful views!

We enjoyed our stay on the Kathleen Marie. She is a well-appointed boat. The master cabin has a large comfortable bed. The salon is roomy and the galley has all you need as well. The best part is the back deck. We enjoyed our coffee and watching the sun rise over the Chesapeake Bay! We were in town for the sailboat show so it was busy but Annapolis was lovely and very walkable everywhere.

Weekend getaway

We are boaters so boating is not new to us. The view out the back of the boat was terrific. We enjoyed having a kitchen for the weekend even a small one. It’s a mile walk to the city dock from this smaller marina. We had some trouble getting into the marina bathrooms (they were not marked) but the host was responsive as well as the marina manager. FYI the sailing Ctr is not the mgt of the marina and they can be prickly.

Beautiful Boat on the Bay

My family and I loved our magical stay on the Kathleen Marie. The amazing views, the convenient location to Eastport and Annapolis destinations (we walked and also took water taxi), and the great condition of the boat. We ended up using the marina showers because they were so convenient and just terminated as well as the marina washer and dryer (free). Appreciated having the coffee trailer open in the morning. We will definitely return!

Kathleen Marie was Fantastic !

Fantastic ! Unique VRBO experience ! Clean, comfortable, plenty of room for 2 couples. Annapolis/Eastport “feels-like” temperature everyday was 100+, and we were always comfortable. Great view of boats coming in & out of harbor ! Walking distance to great eateries in Eastport - car sat in parking lot for all 4 days. Owner promptly communicated, and personally setup the boat before our arrival ! Highly recommend !
