The host was very welcoming, and the views were absolutely incredible. Even though we visited during a cold front, we were still blown away by the beauty, warmth, and sense of peace the home and its surroundings provided. The property is well-equipped for home-cooked meals, multi-generational comfort, rest, and relaxation.
Very clean, organized, stylish and thoughtful home. Beautiful and quiet location. No detail left undone. Great communication and flexibility from owner.
We rented this beautiful home to surprise my daughter for her 40th birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. I was able to celebrate with my other daughter and niece, which made the weekend even more special.The house is stunning and exceptionally clean, with a magnificent view. Watching the sunset from the back of the house overlooking the bay was truly unforgettable and so peaceful.The owners were incredibly kind, accommodating, and made us feel very welcome and special throughout our stay. This was the perfect place to celebrate my daughter and take time to reset from everyday life. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend and would absolutely stay here again.

We had a great time! The views can’t be beat. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive. Would definitely stay here again!
This house is a fantastic as pictured and described. Gorgeous, clean, full of helpful amenities (power outlets, toiletries, etc.). Incredible views, seating areas and convenient to downtown Annapolis (15 min ish drive). This house is going on my list to recommend and stay at again. Appreciate the care and attention the hosts put into this property.
Great property and the host was extremely helpful during the stay. The only knock is none of the beds had a top sheet. That bugged a couple of us but it didn’t change how much we enjoyed the property. We will book this house again when we return.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful, clean, fully equipped and the views out back are magnificent. We all loved the pool. The host was very helpful with any issues & requests. All in all we truly enjoyed our time there. Highly recommend.
We loved our stay at this beautiful home! The view is amazing and the house was very comfortable. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time together. Communication with the owners was excellent as well. We would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful place right on the water with amazing views and private setting. Clean and well stocked with plenty of room to spread out. Owners very responsive with quick communication. Excellent stay!
