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.

GREAT location for USNA/town but dated

Communication with the owner Kara was great and she was responsive for all issues. We loved the location and it was the least expensive place we’be rented in Annapolis (this was our 5th stay in last 11 months). I would actually probably start here again but compared to many other homes in Annapolis, it was very dated and beds/pillows weren’t the best. Price was low and we liked the bathroom and tub. I just think that a few upgrades would be easy and pay dividends. But I would stay here again b/c the location was so fantastic to Gate 1

Annapolis Adventure

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.

Great Annapolis Getaway

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!

What makes this property unique

A peaceful respite in the middle of all that's wonderful in downtown Annapolis: Be a local for a while! Why deal with all the traffic in and out of town?

Then, step back into our home just a few steps away and relax!
