About this property

Historic District"Crab Cakes and Football"

Welcome to Crab Cakes and Football. Enjoy Historic Downtown Annapolis with convenient walking distance to both City Dock and the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Private parking for 2 cars!

There are seven restaurants within one block including:
- Thai
- Italian
- Irish
- Unique Annapolis Fare

This is the perfect spot to enjoy all that Annapolis has to offer. People who know the area know that having 2 parking spots is almost unheard of. We are located in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Annapolis. The neighborhood has a very peaceful, quiet feel. The property had once been a long term rental but we decided we'd rather share it with people coming here to vacation. We live 5-10 minutes from the property so you can enjoy your privacy but we are available if you need us.

Adorable place in great location

The house is adorable, well-maintained, and in the perfect location for sightseeing in Annapolis. The hosts were responsive and left coffee and treats for us, which came in very handy. Our only suggestion, and it's a small one, is that a list of local attractions and recommended restaurants would be useful.

Charming, squeaky clean, super convenient

We stayed here with another couple for a USNA reunion weekend. This was perfect. The row house has the charm of a historic home and the comfort of up-to-date amenities. It's within walking distance of the stadium and several fun restaurants on West Ave. We appreciated all Liz's thoughtful welcoming touches. Would definitely do this again.

Overall, a very positive experience

Everything about this weekend was perfect! Liz is a hands-on hostess, and was a great resource for all things Annapolis. The location is great for walking to the naval academy, to town, and to several very good restaurants. Googled Leos for dinner, one of her recommendations, and it was 450 feet away. The same for The Lighthouse for breakfast. Both were excellent. The house is beautiful, and had everything we needed, including a welcome bottle of prosecco. 5 stars all around.

Wonderful Home, Wonderful Host

This is the first time we booked a home through HomeAway so we were a little anxious upon arrival. My adult kids, my husband, our two dogs and I were pleasantly surprised ! Liz's home was warm and inviting and very, very clean. Our dogs felt right at home and really enjoyed the special cookies that Liz left for them (us humans loved the champagne!). Liz answered our questions immediately and promised to make herself available if we needed her at all during the stay. We will definitely stay with Liz when we come back to visit all of our Annapolis friends!

No football, but yes crabcakes, antiques, museums and more!!!

Our family of three plus dog enjoyed a spring long weekend at Crabcakes and Football property and it was perfect. The house is super cute and in good condition, and had everything we needed. Owner Liz provided thoughtful little touches that made us feel like we were old friends. The location is divine too; we basically parked our car behind the house when we arrived and did not touch it again until it was time to leave. We walked everywhere, down West Street, full of shops and great food (we particularly enjoyed The Metropolitan and Luna Blu), and onto downtown and the harbor. Our five-year-old enjoyed spending one rainy morning at the Annapolis Maritime Museum, and we all liked lunch at the Boatyard afterwards. We are already plotting our return to Annapolis and will be contacting Liz about another rental.

Wonderful Home Away from Home!

We stayed at Crab Cakes and Football for Plebes Parent Weekend at the USNA. From booking to checking out, Liz was so responsive to our every request and question. We found out before arriving that our daughter was sick and would want to stay in and rest while we visited. So I asked Liz about area restaurants that delivered or did take out and she sent me an extensive list of places to go. She also offered to let us check in a little early and leave a little late, so that our daughter would have plenty of time to recuperate before reporting back in. The house is spotless and filled with everything you need - plenty of towels, a blow dryer, extra pillows and blankets as well as a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. We easily fit our two cars, The area is very quiet and peaceful. But you can be at a variety of restaurants and bars on West Street within a few minutes walk and the walk to Main Street in DTA is about 10 minutes. It's also only a 15-20 minute walk to the USNA, so very convenient to not have to drive and park on the Yard. We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay here. We look forward to returning many times when we visit our daughter over the next few years! Liz, thank you for sharing your home and being such a gracious and responsive hostess!

Amazing property! Reviews are spot on! Every amenity you can imagine!

Best rental we've stayed in during our daughter's 4 years at the academy. Liz is exceptional communicating! Reviews are 100% accurate. My favorites: -Location: easy walk along West St to all sorts of cool places -Backyard & parking: great for morning coffee and no stress finding a spot to park on the street. -Real cable TV. No streaming necessary. Really appreciated that during football season! Book it, you will be thrilled!!

Second Time Staying here - a Favorite

This is the second time we've stayed at Liz's place. It's one of my favorite rentals in Annapolis - location is great - close to everything, but quiet in the evenings, easy access to restaurants on West St., walking distance to Main St and the USNA. The home is very clean and is the most well stocked rental we've ever stayed in - kitchen has everything you could need and plenty of extra towels, pillows, blankets, and toiletries upstairs. We will definitely be back for a third visit in the near future.

Perfectly charming

This property was perfect for our stay in Annapolis for an event at USNA. Listing pics don’t do it justice- if you like what you see, you’ll love it in person. Everything was clean, well-stocked kitchen tools, clean and crisp bedrooms, comfy sofa in living room. Outdoor space is adorable (although it was too chilly for us to enjoy.) Liz was super accommodating for our needs, and we loved the touch of Prosecco and cold bottles of water waiting for us upon check-in. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

Such a find!

Liz thought of everything to make our stay easy and fun. We were welcomed with a bottle of Prosecco, there was plenty of bottled water in the fridge, coffee, tea and a very well appointed kitchen. She made sure we had dish and laundry detergent, plenty of extra towels - everything we needed after a long road trip. The house was perfect for us, our dogs and our grandkids. And, the location and off street parking make this property a rare find. We look forward to staying here again.

Plebe Parent Weekend

We rented the property to visit our two sons who attend the United States Naval Academy. The house could not have been more perfect. When we arrived the house was spotless and the owner even left us a welcome gift. There is not anything that the owner did not think of. She even had sippy cups in the cabinets if you have little children. Communication with the owner throughout the entire process was fantastic. The location is terrific. 5-10 minute walk to all restaurants and the Academy. We will definitely be renting this property again when we have our next visit. ( unless word gets out how perfect it is and it gets booked😂) Thank you very much, Liz. We had an incredible time with our family in your house. 🇺🇸⚓️ We highly recommend this owner.
