The pictures do not do it justice. This is a beautifully kept property. Everything we needed was available to us. We were there for a girls weekend and everything you could ever want to do was within a 5 to 10 minute walk from the house. ButWe enjoyed our stay tremendously.

USNA Visit

Came up with another couple to tour the Naval Academy and historic Annapolis and attend the football game. The location of this property was great as it was on a dead in street, quite, and yet walking distance to everything. Layout and decor of the property was very nice! Next visit we'll stay there again.

Amazing Annapolis Home

We stayed here for the US Sailboat Show and the home is perfect. Nicely remodeled and close to City Dock and all of the action in downtown Annapolis. We loved having coffee in the morning in the backyard. Patty was great to deal with and we look forward to coming back next year. Thanks again, Dan

Would recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay here this past weekend. The place was clean, decorated nicely, and included all necessities. The location was perfect since it is a quick walk to the dock, restaurants, and bars. It was also on a quiet street right near the colleges. Patty was very responsive when we had trouble getting into the townhouse. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others!

About the host

Hosted by Patty Doshier

Host profile image
We moved to the area in 2019 and have lived/traveled all around the country. No, we are not a Navy family, but my dad, brothers(2) and nephew(2) were Navy. The Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis, DC and Baltimore area have been fun to explore. We just want you to enjoy your visit to the region and come home to a comfortable place, our Historic Annapolis Gem!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the minute we walked in Spring 2022. We were looking for an investment property that would be great for short term rentals. Downtown Annapolis is a wonderful historic walking town with great restaurants/nightlife and water features. Plus you have the Naval Academy right next door. The house is light and bright, with a little space from the houses next door.

What makes this property unique

Historic home built in 1800, but fully updated with today's amenities. You are close to the downtown action for a quick walk but far away from the crowds and noise. You can literally walk to the football stadium for Navy Games (less than 30 min. walk) and baseball stadium (less than 15 min. walk). Plus enjoy all the USNA yard offers right next door. St. John's College is across the street.
