This was a perfect spot for a lovely long weekend vacation! The pool area was so nice and the house had plenty of amenities and space for a 6 person group. The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Annapolis is also just a quick uber ride away! Definitely recommend!

The house and garden were even better than we expected from the pictures, so beautiful and spacious. Everything was immaculate, inside and out.The salt water pool was great, no chlorine smell. We had a very sunny week so the shaded seating area was much used.A perfect place for our family gathering.

Great location, beautiful house

The property was very clean and well decorated. You could tell care and love is placed into the house and landscaping. The backyard and pool area is gorgeous! Despite unlucky/rainy weather and temperatures in the 60s, the pool was heated so warm that we went in everyday with the kids which was so nice. Annapolis is very close by. Plenty of fluffy towels, comfortable beds, nice small touches of welcome goodies and quality soap/shampoo, etc.

Amazing house with a private pool

This is our 2nd stay at this house. The first time was with our family, and this time just my wife and I stayed here. The 2nd time did not disappoint! This is a nicely designed really clean house, with a nice heated pool and a beautiful property. We would love to rent again! Gary

AMAZING Stay!

We stayed at the cottage for a week in late July and could not have been happier! Beautiful house, lots of room to spread out, well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. The back yard was paradise with several different sitting areas, plenty of toys for the pool and room to play. The entire family loved the pool as we swam at least once a day the entire week. Location was perfect for day trips to DC, less than an hour each way. Local restaurants were excellent and downtown Annapolis is beautiful! The owners were very responsive at every point in the process and provided a great welcome package complete with a TON of recommendations for local spots to check out. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely top notch.

This was by far the best Vrbo experience we've had. Every aspect of our stay, from the welcome basket with fresh cut flowers and goodies to the cleanliness of the house, exceeded our hopes. The saltwater pool was pristine, and it really defined the stay, but my 4 kids (ages 16-23) were oohing and aahing from the moment they walked in the door. There was plenty of room for everybody, and we loved hanging out in the open plan kitchen/living room, surrounded by natural light from the large, un-curtained windows. I'm a sculptor, so I appreciated the clean, contemporary look of the interior, the marble countertops, and the overall feeling that everything was done the way you hope for in rental, but don't often find. Katie, the host, answered the few questions we had promptly and was extremely welcoming. Definitely a five star experience.

Wonderful reception to make us feel welcome and at home

Our family has stayed at VRBO homes throughout the United States over the years. We arrived in this beautifully renovated 'cottage' to find the most welcoming reception we've ever encountered: freshly cut flowers throughout the open living space inside and outdoors, home-baked cookies, a large water bowl for our thirsty dogs and a giant sized metal 'punch bowl' by the pool area filled to the rim with beverages such as champagne, wine, sparkling and bottled waters sitting on a white table-clothed table. The homeowners were a pleasure to deal with from our original request to allow our little dogs to allowing us to bring a small outdoor table top BBQ grill (to accommodate our desire for charcoal grilled meats). The owners have a great electric indoor smokeless BBQ grill as they are not able to provide a BBQ grill outside. The house is totally and tastefully renovated and furnished; technologically up to date with blue tooth speaker system throughout house and outside in the pool area. Two items detract from a 5 star rating: kitchen ware, pots, pans were worn and a bit lacking. There was no access in upstairs bedrooms to any closet space, as those are sealed off to guests. Provided, instead were clothes racks with some hangers. That said, we'd like to reiterate how wonderful the house and outside living areas were. The pool has a gentle entry point with wide low steps important for the seniors in the group, and it's heated which makes it even more pleasant. We definitely enjoyed staying at this house and recommend it to other families.

Thank you for such a wonderful review of our vacation home! We were thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our special touches and appreciate the feedback regarding the pots and pans. Its great to know that our guest are fully utilizing the kitchen and enjoying meals in, so we've furnished the kitchen with a new set of pots and baking pans! Best Wishes, Katie and Jack!

Staycation better than we dreamed!

I had super high hopes for our first, 6 day family staycation after the tough restricted year we’ve all had and our experience exceeded expectations! We only live about an hour away but wanted a house with a pool to enjoy with two small families (each two parents and one child). We didn’t even know it when we booked but we also live in the cicada epicenter in MD so we were hopeful that this home would get us a break from that and it truly delivered. Pros: -Awesome heated saltwater pool and BEAUTIFULLY landscaped yard -Several comfortable outdoor seating areas -Clean, Clean, did I say Clean! Such peace of mind from this -Amazing welcome basket and treats that had something for everyone -Nice privacy from other homes in the area -Super responsive owner (we only had one inquiry involving a short internet outage that Katie quickly helped us resolve) Again, you will NOT be disappointed in this place but a few things to consider depending on what type of trip you’re planning: -Pots/Pans - I cooked probably two meals almost everyday and we were there (6 days) so I definitely needed some additional cookware, a bigger pasta pot, 1 larger skillet, measuring cup. If you’re not cooking a lot this won’t be an issue. -Beds: the king bed and the downstairs bed are SUPER comfortable. The other two are pretty soft so adults might not be thrilled about those for longer stays. -No outdoor table to eat: We ordered crabs one day and ate outside but it was pretty difficult without a dining table outside. Next time I would bring a folding table. This house and the owner is amazing. You will not regret booking this one. My only wish is that there will be days available for us to go back soon! Thanks to Katie for sharing her home with us!

Thank you so much Rasheedah for your kind words, we are so happy you enjoyed the stay! We will definitely replace the measuring cup and look into getting a larger pot for boiling. I'll also look into getting a folding pop up table for the back yard, that is a fantastic idea. We had a dining table out there for years but nobody ever used it so we replaced it with another conversational set. Appreciate the feedback! Hope you will come again!

This is a beautiful property, very well equipped, spacious, with an amazing interior and exterior. The location is convenient to Annapolis. The hosts were incredible. They were very responsive, accommodating and so thoughtful - there was a beautiful cake upon our arrival to celebrate our Midshipman’s graduation! That is the kind of welcome you don’t find everywhere. Thank you for helping make our week fantastic!

Yet another great stay!

This is our third summer staying at the cottage. It's just a great house for family vacations. Four spacious bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a super comfortable tv room ... and the heated salt water pool! The house is super clean and the backyard is beautifully landscaped and appointed. And if that wasn't enough, guests are welcomed with an amazing gift basket on arrival. Perfect, private family getaway!

Perfect way to end our summer with the family!!

The love and care put into this home is just amazing. The house was perfect for grandparents and kids to enjoy together. The pool is great and layout of the house really great. Very clean and well cared for. And the host Katie really rolled out the red carpet for us with warm welcome messages, very easy instructions, immediacy of responses and even a gift basket. Our kids had a blast and parents enjoyed everything. So close to Annapolis, the beach and crab places. Loved it all!!!

We loved our stay here. We had a week getaway just for the girls. Plenty of room to spread out. House was amazing, very clean and nicely decorated. It was a hot week and the outside area was amazing especially the pool. Katie was great to work with and answered any questions we had before arriving.

A wonderful retreat!

We stayed here with our family (4 kids ranging from 2-14) and had the best time! The house is very spacious, plenty of room for a large family or group of friends. The outdoor area and pool are so perfect and peaceful - really feels like a private retreat! Relatively easy to get to downtown Annapolis. Katie left the sweetest welcome basket for us - everything was very thoughtful and wonderful. I would highly recommend this place!!
