Just spent two nights at this house while attending our granddaughter's graduation. This house is wonderful. It is impeccably clean, very well appointed, with a well stocked kitchen. The welcome bottle of wine and cookies were a very nice touch. The beds are very comfortable and the well landscaped back yard is so peaceful and quiet. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent house and location - highly recommend

A group of 6 (3 adults and 3 children) stayed for 2 nights while visiting the Naval Academy. It was an easy walk to the stadium where shuttles brought us over, very convenient location. It is a quiet neighborhood which was nice and what we were looking for.The house itself was great, very clean, lots of space, comfortable beds, and had everything we needed and then some. Fully stocked kitchen, games, and my bathroom even had a shampoo/conditioner/bath gel setup that you often see in hotels.Highly recommend if you are visiting Annapolis!

Family reunion and USNA football game

This location is perfect for attending a Navy football game as it is within walking distance of the stadium. The house is modern, spotlessly clean and was well set up for our group of seven adults. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and the lovely back yard.
