We absolutely loved every moment of our stay!!! It was very clean, lots of cool items like extra beach towels, spf, shampoo and conditioner for guests! It was perfect and my sister did exactly what she needed, relaxed and kicked back! Loved the use of the dock and chairs as well!
Shady Side is THE Perfect Place in a perfect and quiet neighborhood! We rented for USNA Commissioning Week. It fit the bill for what we needed. It is a little ways from the Yard, ~30 minutes, but the view, house and neighborhood are well worth the time. We will rent here again!!!!!
Had a group of 8 of us for a fishing trip weekend. Pics of the house dont do it and this wonderful neighborhood justice! The house is charming warm and welcoming with nice upgrades to all bathrooms. Was comfortable and had as great a yard as you would think. Sunsets, grilling and kayaking or crabbing. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The hoet Bethany was super nice and instruction was detailed and simple on check in and check out. Will definitely stay here again. A++++
The house is in a lovely location with a great porch outside and lots of lawn. There is an enclosed old porch that is a great setting for meals. The house is well stocked and a uniquely decorated old home.
Fantastic place to spend a weekend with family and friends. <30 min to downtown Annapolis, great accommodations, and beautiful outdoor space well suited for all ages, especially kids! Thank you for a great experience.
