Fourth of July in Annapolis

We spent the 4th in this lovely property on our way to a beach vacation. The rooms are spacious and nicely furnished. The location is excellent, with quick access to the waterfront, shops and restaurants. We watched the fireworks from the Naval Academy gate, down the block. The hosts were attentive and helpful.

Perfectly Placed

We were looking for a place close to restaurants and shops, and this was perfect. Just around the corner, we discovered the gorgeous gardens of the William Paca house. We never had the chance to use the grill in the backyard during our stay, but our host indicated that we were welcome to.

Great location. Cute house

Authentic Annapolis house. Perfect location, walking everywhere. New luxury bathroom. Need to park offsite, but was only a 5 min walk to garage. Most properties in town will require parking in a garage.

Super Close to Gate 1!

We stayed at this property to drop our daughter off at the Academy for I day, and I don't think you can get much closer to Gate 1. The location can't be beat! The other feature worth mentioning is the air. Of course we had the pleasure of experiencing record temperatures and with the humidity, OH MY! Opening the front door and feeling the cold air hit you was absolutely divine. Kara even accommodated a later checkout last minute for us. Property was super clean as well. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

This is a very nice property, comfortable, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The location is excellent. It is a short walk to the city dock area, the Navel Academy, and the west street area, The included parking is an additional bonus. We would certainly stay here again.

This spot was exactly as pictured/ described and is perfect for an Annapolis getaway. The location could not be better - we walked the entire town and the Naval base with ease. Checking in and parking were easy and the house was very clean. Would definitely stay here again!
