About the host
Your host
I’m a Navy veteran who enjoys travel, family time, and creating relaxing spaces for others. Hosting lets me share the charm of this area and a home where we’ve made countless memories — and hope you will too.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood for its peaceful, family-friendly feel and easy access to the South River and Chesapeake Bay. It’s a hidden gem—quiet, walkable, and just minutes from downtown Annapolis. We love the sense of community, the waterfront sunrises, and how it feels like a true retreat while still being close to everything.
What makes this property unique
Our home blends comfort, character, and convenience in a way that’s hard to find. It features a private home theatre, a full bar, and multiple outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. You’re just a short walk from the water, a community beach, and a fishing dock—yet only minutes from downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy. It’s a space designed for making memories, whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.
