About this property

Charming Downtown Annapolis. Stroll to all the Historic District has to offer.

In the heart of Annapolis, where the bay breeze blows,
Stands a small cottage, the Captain's Quarters, a peaceful repose.
Just a seven-minute walk to Navy Stadium so grand,
And a quick stroll to historic Main Street, hand in hand.

Newly renovated, yet with historical charm,
This snug abode offers a sense of calm.
With its white picket fence and welcoming air,
You'll feel right at home in this cozy little lair.

Inside, the decor reflects nautical themes,
From the anchor wall art to the ship in a bottle dreams.
The cozy kitchen is small but grand,
With modern amenities at your command.
Gleaming gadgets, tools so neat,
Ready to make any dish complete.

The bedroom is snug, with a comfortable bed,
Where dreams of adventure dance in your head.
The bathroom is cozy, with a cottage feel,
A place to relax and unwind, to heal.

So come stay at the Captain's Quarters, a gem,
A place where memories are made, like a precious emblem.
With its proximity to all that Annapolis holds dear,
You'll cherish your time here, year after year.

Our stay in annapolis was wonderful, and largely in part to this beautiful VRBO stay! The house is immaculately decorated and you can feel the love/thought put into it as soon as you step in. Location is great, close enough to downtown to be a nice stroll but far enough away to feel quiet and peaceful. We would love to stay here again!

This is a true standout of a place to stay... and reminds me why I choose VRBO over hotels. The character, charm and coziness of this place was top notch. Not only is this place decorated so well (nostalgic and local), the bed was amazingly comfortable! The location was perfect for us, and the parking was very reasonable. We would be lucky to stay here again!
