The Pearl of Oyster Harbor

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Whether it's relaxation or activity you seek, you'll find it all in the gorgeous waterfront setting of The Pearl of Oyster Harbor. This is a stunning place for boating and swimming from the private dock, playing yard games at the water's edge, and gathering around the firepit for s'mores and stories once the sun goes down.

This peaceful, two-story home boasts an expansive piece of property in Oyster Harbor, a private community on the Annapolis Neck Peninsula along an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. The flat, beautiful lawn stretches all the way to the dock, where you're welcome to tie up your boat, launch one of the kayaks (two adult, one youth), or take out the inflatable paddleboard. (The bay can be shallow and tricky in parts; please familiarize yourself with the water before you navigate a boat.)

When you're not strolling less than half a mile to Oyster Harbor Private Beach, make a day of it in the backyard by playing cornhole, yard toss, or Slip-N-Slide. Light the gas grill for a lunchtime barbecue, dine in the coastal breeze on the deck or at the picnic table, and linger all afternoon in the hammock while watching passing boats, birds, and marine life.

Built in 1960 and thoughtfully renovated in the years since, this unique cottage maintains much of its original character while offering modern touches at every turn. Large picture windows and rear glass doors frame the harbor - a lovely view you can take in as you cook in the sleek kitchen, make plans over breakfast each morning, and play board games and cards in the sunroom. In the evenings, enjoy an inviting living room with a smart TV and gas fireplace, three cozy bedrooms, and a sleeping loft. The small desk in the bunk room has a WiFi printer, making it perfect for remote work.

Paradise
This is the place to stay if you're looking to get away. Great views and sunrises. They have kayaks, fishing poles, bicycles, out door games, fire pit, grill, and a large patio. Inside there's board games and a large Florida room in case it rains and you can't enjoy the outdoor activities. Our family had a great time hanging out, making smores, and enjoying each others company while we got to spend time together here. Everyone should stay here at least once.

Our first ever Air B N B experience was at The Pearl of Oyster Harbor
We spent our spring break here with 4 of our children. We are a blended family so this location turned out to be the perfect location for us to see family and explore a new place. This house was just perfect for us and we will have so many great memories from our visit. The house smelled amazing, was clean and organized. We loved all of the art work, books, and games that were available. The outdoor accommodations were helpful. We played games, kayaked, had a cookout and made smores over the fire pit. My fiancé proposed to me on the dock on the night of the full moon so that I will never forget. It was picture perfect! We enjoyed some of the local spots and sightseeing. We really loved the indoor fire place as well. The management company and owners were very helpful and responsive if we had any questions during our stay. Hope to make it back one day! Thank you so much.

Cute cabin
The space was a well laid out small space with lots of ingenious touches. It had many charming beach/nautical nods, and functionality in decor. The kitchen had everything needed for basic meal preparation, and a few extras such as materials for a crab bake. The view from the sunroom was amazing, and the views only got better as you went out to the porch, yard, and onto the dock. We saw so many different varieties of birds in the backyard and on the water. Binoculars and a telescope helped with viewing. The neighborhood was quiet and lots of people were walking their dogs. A private neighborhood beach access about a half mile down the road was another lovely feature.

Long Weekend in Annapolis
Our stay in Oyster Harbor was very nice. The weather didn't cooperate but the house itself was very nice and I would certainly stay there again. It's about a 10 minute drive to downtown Annapolis so that made it convenient as well!
