Very nice property with plenty of room and a nice outdoor space. The hot tub was a great bonus. Close enough to visit USNA but the location feels like a vacation spot!

Cute Place with Everything You Need

We were in the area for a work trip and this house had everything we needed to relax and reboot for our activities. We didnt use the hot tub but next time we stay here we will put it to use.

Beautiful relaxing home & neighborhood

We only stayed for one night but wish it were more. The home is layed out well and has everything you need for a getaway. You can see the bay at the end of the streets & the community waterfront area had a dock & picnic tables. Highly recommend this home.

This is a charming pet friendly property which served our family getting together for a small reunion since our kids live in Annapolis. Very comfortable and spacious. Fire pit outside was wonderful to hang out at night and have a few drinks. about a mile down the road and a bit there is a very nice park on the beautiful bay. Kitchen good for making family meals with good appliances. HotTub was a nice added plus although it is more a WarmTub. Barbecue in the closed in back yard was great for cooking steaks. Washer/dryer a little goofy but we figured it out. Heating system was annoying because it changed every few hours back to 64 degrees and the house got pretty cold, had to keep resetting it back to 72 and the upstairs gets really really warm while the downstairs remains a bit colder for those bedrooms. Also something strange with the water since it feels really strange on your skin as you take a shower, and we assumed this was well water treatment of some sort since there are a number of chemical containers and tubes outside and in (we figured hot tub and some kind of water softener); so taking a shower just feel really odd, like the water was not able to be wiped off of us. A whole bunch of the lights also don't seem to be working and the internet went out a few times. Other than that the place is charming and we were comfortable there.
