Liz is fantastic! The home is perfectly located to all the best spots, ease of walking over the bridge and adorable outdoor area in the back. Will definitely be back!
We had an excellent stay in this home, everything we could possibly need was provided.The home is in a great location to explore the area and within easy walking distance of the centre of Annapolis.Loved watching the wildlife in the garden and relaxing in the sun room - an oasis of calm after a day out.The house is very clean, well maintained and generously stocked.We rent VRBO houses regularly and this is one of the best!Liz is a great host, we are glad we selected this home and would happily return and recommend it to others.

Thank you for staying at 421 Irie! It was my pleasure having you!!! It is AMAZING the wildlife in that small space!!! I'm now watching a cardinal nesting in a tree by the pool. I can't wait until her eggs hatch!!! It is its own little eco-system in the middle of town!!
It was wonderful meeting you both ALL the way across the pond!!! I'm glad your trip to the US was grand!!! I hope to see you again, fellow Brit!!!
❤️🇺🇸❤️
Liz was the PERFECT host for our "Girlfriends' Birthday Staycation". Her home was the perfect location for us to relax and de-stress, re-charge with some vitamin D by the pool. Liz gave us great tips on avoiding traffic, activities and restaurants. Her home allowed us to leave her oasis with a feeling that "Everything is going to be alright"...IRIE!! We will definitely look forward to returning.THANK YOU LIZ!

Thank you!!!! I enjoyed meeting you all!!!!! It is a great gals weekend escape!!!!!!
I hope to see you again!!
The home was very welcoming! The chosen decor was beautiful and the backyard was so pretty with the flowers and the other landscaping lent to a very relaxing atmosphere. The proximity of the house to several great restaurants was perfect and a short 15-20 min walk to downtown. A perfect girls weekend place!
This property is absolutely amazing. The attention to detail is outstanding. The host was such a pleasure to communicate with. I will absolutely stay here again and recommend to Everyone! The location was a dream and the off street parking made things so much easier. I can’t stress enough how wonderful this experience was
Everything about the cottage was exactly as described. It’s a beautiful, well maintained space in the heart of Eastport. Such a great location within walking distance to a number of restaurants. I so appreciated the extra touches from our host!

Hi!!
Thank you SO much. Little touches make stays a little nicer!! Thank you!!

This property is STUNNING!!! It is an amazing gem in Eastport and so walkable to restaurants and cute benches/waterfront seating. The home is well appointed and sunroom was FABULOUS to spend time in. We had our visit in spring but can see where the pool would be a main attraction in the summer months. We were out exploring most of the daylight but evenings were spent playing scrabble in the sunroom with family and enjoying our time together. So much to explore and IRIE 421 was the perfect home-base for my parents and I to enjoy the Annapolis area and history.

Hi!!
And that is EXACLY how I can see that home being used!!!! A PERFECT description!!!!
Thank you!!
We had a wonderful stay. The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Our favorite spot was definitely the sunporch—it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy some quiet time.The owner was very responsive and thoughtful, which made the whole experience even better. The beds were comfortable and we slept great each night.The location was also excellent. We were able to walk to nearby restaurants and easily stroll across the bridge into town, which made exploring the area very convenient. Overall, a great stay and we would happily come back.
This is our second time renting at this house, and it was as perfect as ever! Very clean, comfortable and a perfect location for all Annapolis has to offer.

I love having you and your family!! Come back any time!!!
We had the best time and loved the house. The Host was very accomodating with answering questions and allowing us to check in early, and stay later than check out time. The hosue is the cutest, well stocked with everything you cokd think of needing. The beds were comfortable, shower was great and furniture comfortable. We were able to walk downtown with ony a short walk. There are restaurants within walking distance. We will definately recommend and book again if visiting the Annapolis area.
My family had a great time staying here during a lacrosse tournament. Host was the best and the house was great. My boys loved the pool and adults loved the proximity to the restaurants and bars. Will stay here again in future.
This was the perfect place for my high school friends weekend girls trip. The house's proximity to restaurants/bars and downtown was fantastic! Great use of space and the amenities were top notch. We had amazing chats while wading in the pool. Thanks for also for the great weather.

Hi!!
I ordered the perfect weather just for you ladies!!!! I'm glad you all took. Advantage of all the activities around the home! Come back ANY time!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage with an amazing backyard retreat. We had the pleasure of meeting our host Liz and she is super nice and extremely responsive. We are so happy we found this cottage and hope to have future visits.
Very nice, cozy property with a beautiful backyard. The kitchen was well stocked, and the host provided a welcome cheese and wine board. One item to improve the comfort of this home would be to get better couches for the living room and sunroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Rachel,
Sorry this isnt a 10! I know the weather did not Cooperate. It rained all 4 days and you choose to leave early. (I did offer a nights refund if I could book it on a 12 hour notice). A fluffy cozy couch would have been WONDERFUL!!
However, Staying with the cottage size I choose a custom upolstered, extra foam, thicker mattress, twin sleeper sofa to utilize the space. I also maximized the seating area by adding 4 chairs, 2 being swival. Again, trying to maxImize the unique space. Sorry a fluffy big cozy sofa would have been wonderful during a rainy stay. (I had a single large couch and it was to big, not much seating. I also had an apartment size couch but no sleeper. This arrangement has worked the best. But thank you for your input).
The sunroom sitting area is Also decorated to maximize and utilize thIs AMAZING space! Hanging out. Puzzels. Games. Coloring. Drying off from the pool before coming inside. Eating. Conversation. Watching TV. Sitting by the fireplace. Again, I added 2 swival chairs to maximize the usage of the unique space.
I hope you can come back and enjoy everything Annapolis and Eastport has to offer when it isn't raining for 4 days in a row and you can enjoy the outdoors a bit more. I'd love to have you again.
Liz
