Wonderful host and excellent location for USNA family

Sean was an amazing host. Very responsive. The home was immaculate and very cozy...and was well stocked. Excellent location--right across the street from Gate One. Perfect for a weekend to visit our cadet, do laundry and watch movies. Restaurants are all within an easy stroll. Would absolutely stay there again.

Annapolis House

Sean’s house — the second floor — is beautifully decorated and kept. Location is terrific, right across from the Naval Academy and an 8-minute walk to a harbour and good seafood restaurants specializing in blue crab. Sean was particularly responsive to questions at the last minute. Highly recommended!
