One Block to Gate 1 at Naval-Academy-themed home, custom bar, onsite parking

Welcome to Modern Elegance in Historic Annapolis
Step into this fully-renovated 1900s home, where modern sophistication meets timeless charm. Lovingly restored, this home offers parking for two cars (or one SUV)—a rare luxury in the heart of downtown Annapolis. Owned by four Naval Academy graduates—three U.S. Marines and one Navy nuclear surface warfare officer—this property stands as a tribute to the enduring bond they forged as members of the Academy's 14th Company and their decade of service to our nation. You’ll feel their legacy of camaraderie and commitment the moment you arrive.

Nestled on one of Annapolis's most picturesque streets, the home is just a block from the Naval Academy's main entrance. The inviting front porch is the perfect perch to soak in the vibrant energy of historic downtown Annapolis, creating a seamless connection between the home and the community’s storied past.

The interior boasts an elegant Great Room with a custom entertainment bar, open dining area, and Naval Academy-inspired decor that sets the tone for your stay. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, with seating at the breakfast bar for casual gatherings. With spacious accommodations for up to 11 guests, including a stunning top-floor suite, the home caters to families and groups seeking both comfort and style.

Whether visiting for a Naval Academy event, the boat show, or simply to explore Greater Annapolis, this home puts you steps away from local attractions, restaurants, and shops. From relaxing mornings on the front porch to evenings exploring the waterfront, your stay promises to be unforgettable.

AWESOME Location; Some Upgrades Needed

This home is in a spectacular location in a spectacular town and truly is a great place to host family and friends. Our friend group (8 college classmates just over 60 years old) gathered for our traditional opening weekend of March Madness. The home has an AWESOME bar and great room where we could all gather to watch all the basketball games (something we have done for the past 40 years). And when we weren't watching basketball, we toured the Naval Academy, the local sites, the Annapolis Yacht Club - all within walking distance. So - what needs to be upgraded?1. Most folks won't go to Annapolis to watch television, but we did, and the television in the great room was not working - and the tech manager couldn't figure it out. We gerry-rigged it but the technology needs to be upgraded so that it is more easily useable. (The online guide was lacking.). And the TV in the kitchen wasn't working.2. It would be great if the house had a grill!! Again, we made do (by borrowing the neighbor's grill) but a simple grill would really enhance the experience.3. Paper products. We had two rolls of toilet paper - for 8 guys over 5 days (4 nights) - and one roll of paper towels. Hoping that this was an oversight and not a purposeful practice.Again, these are issues that can easily be addressed and corrected. Otherwise, it was a FABULOUS experience - many thanks for hosting us!!

Great stay!

This was the perfect place for my group to stay while visiting for the Army Navy weekend. We had 6 adults and 2 teens and the location within walking distance of both downtown and the Yard were ideal for everyone to sightsee. The house was clean and well maintained, and the first floor (living room/bar/kitchen) made a great place for the group to gather and cook meals. I’d definitely recommend this him and stay here again.

Fantastic gem in the heart of Annapolis!

The house was clean, spacious, well decorated, and comfortable. A group of five women stayed for a fantastic weekend in Annapolis and we had plenty of room for everyone. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms and kitchen were spotless, and we enjoyed the amazing location (very close to the Naval Academy and a few blocks to the main street in Annapolis with shops/restaurants/waterfront). The kitchen had everything we needed and we were able to easily prepare food while we were there. The naval theme throughout the house was tasteful and on point. Highly recommend this place!

FABULOUS VRBO in the heart of Annapolis

My twin sister & her family stayed in the adjacent unit to mine. Her daughter was getting married. My twin & husband are USNA grads which made the location across from Gate 2 even better. The unit was perfect for 5 adults celebrating a joyous wedding. The unit is perfectly equipped w laundry, a kitchen and an incredibly comfortable bar/common area. We worked and partied all in the same space. The location is unbeatable. The street is quieter than Main St. but just a quick walk to all of the action. We loved it. Thank you so much.

Amazing parade weekend

Quick getaway for three families - one of whom went to USNA and another who used to live in Annapolis. Six adults, five kids, 6-10. We came down for the St. Paddy’s parade and the house provided the perfect home base for all of our activities! We enjoyed coffee and bloody Marys on the porch in the morning and played games out there once the kids were in bed. Beautiful views of the chapel, proximity to everything in DTA and Eastport, and gorgeous decor throughout the home. We’ve already booked a return trip in the fall! Thank you for sharing your home with us.
