We had an amazing stay at Serene Sunsets. Perfect getaway for our girl trip. This place has a lot of old charm with some updates. Beds are comfortable. Sunsets are to die for. Giant Frog winery within walking distance was a fun bonus. If they added a hot tub to this property it would take it over the top. It can be a little tricky to find the house in the dark since there is no clear marking on the road. Would totally stay again.

The location was great, convenient to Annapolis & the surrounding area. It was the perfect gathering place for family to celebrate my birthday. The water view was spectacular as we sat outside having morning coffee or gathered for an afternoon drink. It was a great place to welcome my family to Annapolis as we enjoyed the serenity of the home.

So sorry you saw cobwebs, Anna. Our cleaner at this home is normally great, but sometimes things get missed. The problem has been fixed! We strive to deliver ONLY 5-star reviews to our guests. We hope you’ll give us another chance next time you’re coming back to Annapolis. Sean, iTrip Annapolis

The sunset views from this gorgeous house are stunning! The setting is like a fairytale, with amazing water views and magical gardens. And the layout of the house is so inviting. And it’s all so close to downtown Annapolis! I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Quick Annapolis Visit

What a gorgeous space!! Beautiful and clean inside. The neighborhood was quiet and very nice... not too far from the Great Frogs Winery. Getting to sit in the outside space and watch the sunset and kayak a little bit w the kids was such a fun and relaxing time. We're looking forward to staying again when we're in the area.

Sunset Serenity - Superb!

Our stay at Sunset Serenity was magical. Our two families, young and old alike, loved the property. While the parents enjoyed the sunset, the kids were able to master kayaking in a safe and fun environment. The proximity to the city made it a perfect location for a getaway. As frequent VRBO families, this is by far our favorite spot. We look forward to returning again.

Such a stunning property with a beautiful view. The landscaping and dwellings were perfect for our family. We appreciate the history of the home. It had everything this family needed and I would rent it again. The location to downtown and necessary stores were also perfect. Quiet and Elegant.

This property is warm and inviting from the minute you arrive. It has everything you need for your stay. Large open space for family and beautiful country charm. The sunsets are a gift from God!!! The nature is also amazing. Another treat is the Green Frog Winery a short walk from the home.

Beautiful, relaxing home

We had the most amazing time staying at this wonderful property. Despite poor weather all weekend, the views of the water from the living/dining areas were spectacular, and the accommodations very comfortable. The home is beautiful, with a great balance of historic charm and modern comfort. We divided our time between the house and taking advantage of Annapolis and the surrounding area. A perfect weekend getaway for our group of friends.
