New Listing 4.5 Miles From Usna, Newly Renovated Cottage Home With Heated Pool!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It was not only comfortable and nicely decorated, it was extremely neat and clean. The backyard looked as though you were staying at a resort. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 and is pet friendly. The beds were very comfortable and it was nice that all the linens, bath and pool towels were provided by the owners.

Katie was very accommodating and thoughtful. A gift basket and other surprises were there to welcome us upon arrival. It rained the majority of our stay but it did not dampen our spirits one bit. The porch off the family room is well constructed. We were able to sit on the outdoor patio furniture and not get wet at all. It is also a huge bonus that the pool is heated. Despite several inches of cool rain that filled the pool, the water temperature remained quite comfortable. As long as there was no lightening, the pool was safe to go in and we certainly did. There were a few pool toys provided for entertainment. The family room included a gas fireplace with a remote control that made igniting the fire easy. It also has a big screen Smart TV with cable including HBO. Though we did not use any, the owners also provide some gym equipment if that is something you enjoy. The home is close to Annapolis, Sandy Point State Park and the Bay Bridge. The owners provided information on areas of interest, stores, restaurants, etc...which was helpful. We would highly recommend this home to rent. Thanks Katie and Jack!

This house was fantastic but even more fantastic was the hospitality we received from the owner, Katie. It’s a great house located just minutes from downtown Annapolis. We stayed with another family for a lacrosse tournament nearby. This house is perfect for active kids. They loved the pool and backyard which included a lacrosse goal and basketball hoop. Lots of space to hang out and relax. We arrived to a clean, nicely updated house with fresh flowers, homemade cookies and a few necessities in the refrigerator already. Katie thought of everything and she even was kind enough to ship a couple of stuffed animals that were left behind by “special delivery!” The house had everything we needed and then some. It has a beautiful open kitchen which was great to cook in. It had plenty of towels and linens.

Thank you Katie for all you did to make our stay so memorable!! We greatly appreciate it and would stay again in a heartbeat!!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! My parents both retired this year and we thought what better way to begin retirement than with a mini-family getaway. We decided on this property based on the positive reviews and the ability to accommodate 8 adults and 2 small dogs aka kids. This house and experience did not disappoint. From the moment we pulled into the driveway and walked through the front door we were pleased. The home is very inviting, clean, and modern with all the amenities you need. It is also very spacious, but intimate enough where we were never too far. Katie was a delight to deal with leading up to, and throughout our stay. She was very accessible and accommodating. All of the wonderful welcoming touches were very much appreciated.

Our family has stayed at VRBO homes throughout the United States over the years. We arrived in this beautifully renovated 'cottage' to find the most welcoming reception we've ever encountered: freshly cut flowers throughout the open living space inside and outdoors, home-baked cookies, a large water bowl for our thirsty dogs and a giant sized metal 'punch bowl' by the pool area filled to the rim with beverages such as champagne, wine, sparkling and bottled waters sitting on a white table-clothed table. The homeowners were a pleasure to deal with from our original request to allow our little dogs to allowing us to bring a small outdoor table top BBQ grill (to accommodate our desire for charcoal grilled meats). The owners have a great electric indoor smokeless BBQ grill as they are not able to provide a BBQ grill outside. The house is totally and tastefully renovated and furnished; technologically up to date with blue tooth speaker system throughout house and outside in the pool area. Two items detract from a 5 star rating: kitchen ware, pots, pans were worn and a bit lacking. There was no access in upstairs bedrooms to any closet space, as those are sealed off to guests. Provided, instead were clothes racks with some hangers. That said, we'd like to reiterate how wonderful the house and outside living areas were. The pool has a gentle entry point with wide low steps important for the seniors in the group, and it's heated which makes it even more pleasant. We definitely enjoyed staying at this house and recommend it to other families.

Great house - had everything we needed - close to all our activities with easy access to all
