My boyfriend and I came into town for my family reunion at Fort Smallwood Park. This was the most beautiful relaxing place. Place the beautiful sunrise in the east over the Bay was absolutely breathtaking and a great way to start our day. I will definitely be returning each year as my family has gatherings in Pasadena.

Tiny House

This tiny house is cute and has a great view of the water! It’s peaceful aside of the noisy generator running at the wedding venue next door. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Floors had some piles of sand and appeared to be unswept. Some trash from the previous people was left laying around.

Herron's Nest Review

A cozy getaway perfect for us! We enjoyed our stay at this charming little cottage by the bay. We would highly recommend to anybody considering a private stay that is still close enough to Annapolis and the Naval Academy.

It's the VIEW!

Loved our 4 day stay. Cabin is updated and very clean. The view is what makes it super special, right on the water with wonderful breezes. Pool was a nice plus too. Kitchen was nice, but fridge was small with no freezer space. We would rent again!

Great stay

Beautiful view. The place is small but perfect for a couple or a family of three. The view is top notch. We enjoyed leaving the windows open and listening to the water. The steps are fine as long as you are steady on your feet.

Wonderful stay!

This is an amazing property, sitting right on the water's edge. I felt totally relaxed. The house is stocked with all kinds of little extras that shows that the owner put a lot of thought into making the house as welcoming as possible. The cleanliness was impeccable. I have stayed at many rentals and this was among the best!

Adorable House

A very cute and comfortable house. We loved the view. Do wish it had a freezer for ice. We could have also used a container for leftovers and we could not find the hair dryer.
