Why the Owner Chose Annapolis

Shortly after 9/11 we decided to take time with our family and go on a sailing adventure with our two children, ages 2 and 5 years. Our original plan was to sail for two years and then return to our home in Annapolis. The two year plan has since been extended to the present and will continue until our thirteen year old enters high school in the fall of 2010. We have had the wonderful opportunity to sail through the Bahamas, Caribbean, and Mediterranean Seas. Our ambition is to go through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific this next spring.

 

Owner's Map of Annapolis

When we first left in 2001 we rented our home on yearly basis. However, our children later confided that the only thing that made them unhappy about being full time cruisers was not being able to stay in our home when we visited Bay Ridge. That is when we decided to explore renting our home on a weekly basis. So far it has worked beautifully. We have been able to share our home with others, pay for some of the overhead and enjoy staying in our home and lovely community when visiting Annapolis.

    • We had the most wonderful vacation in this incredible home. Where to start? Well, the location is the best in greater Annapolis. An easy fifteen minute drive to town where there is lots to see, shop and eat. But, when you turn onto River Drive, you are instantly enchanted - the Chesapeake Bay on one side and lovely, well-tended homes on the other. The view of the bay from the front porch is unbeatable. Even the landscaping and the mesmerizing flower sculpture were lovely to look at. The front porch is wonderful itself. Two levels, two dining areas, rocking chairs - you could have spent the entire time there and some of us did! It was a great place to read, rock the baby, gather everyone for dinner and catch up with family and friends after the kids had gone to bed. The house is tastefully furnished yet manages to be kid friendly. The beautiful pool and hot tub is where the kids spent most of their time and we could easily see them from the huge kitchen windows.The guest house which is fully furnished was great when we had a full house. I think the fact that after three weeks there, I was so NOT ready to go home says it all.

    • On May 2, 2009, this house was the perfect center of activity for my daughter's Naval Academy wedding. We hosted a destination Black Tie reception at the Annapolis Waterfront Marriott but opted not to stay there. Instead, to make sure that our immediate family could feel more relaxed and at home, we rented this incredible waterfront home four miles from the Annapolis Town Dock. Of all the enormous number of decisions we made to create the perfect wedding, this was by far, the best! The house became the center of all activity! The house was lined with walls of windows offering amazing views of the pool surrounded by magnificent perennial gardens and white fencing along with expansive views of the Chesapeake Bay. Umbrella tables, lounges, and patio benches offered welcoming places for large groups to relax and to look across the water to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. We could even see the Naval Academy Chapel from the front porch! Each day, sailboats of all sizes slipped by with sails furled. On Thursday night, we hosted a dinner for the Groom’s Texas family and friends. Friday we held our rehearsal luncheon for 45 guests on the front patios. After lunch, the bridal party and families were taken from the house by bus to the Chapel and back. Bridesmaids gathered at our home on Saturday for a relaxing "beauty morning" with plenty of space in the kitchen for two professional hairdressers and two makeup artists. Great wedding photos were taken at the house inside and out, even one with the bride in her wedding dress swinging on the swing! On Sunday, we held a brunch for over 100 guests. We hired “The Omelet Man” and he worked his magic in the enormous kitchen on four omelet stations while wearing a white chef’s coat and a tall chef’s hat. Even though it rained on Sunday, there was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. My husband, a great cook, was amazed at the fully equiped kitchen with a full array of pots, pans, kitchen equipment, dinnerware and glasses. All in all, 118 River Drive put the “icing” on the wedding weekend! Our only dilemma is that everyone is calling now for us to repeat this amazing weekend experience for the newlyweds' 1st anniversary!

    • We had a fantastic time staying in this beautiful home by the Chesapeake Bay. The house was amazing, the folks supporting the house were timely and great to deal with, the neighborhood was friendly and engaging. We stayed here for commissioning week 2009 at the Naval Academy and the house made the week an even more amazing event. After graduation we had over 30 people come to a crab and ribs party and the house was set up ideally for entertaining, never felt crowded nor did you have to talk over the noise of others. Thanks to Johnny and Po and of course Negin for making this trip a lifetime memory for my entire family. John
