Couldn’t be better!
We arrived after a 17 hour travel nightmare from the mountains of Colorado. Had a two year old and four year old in tow who were very cranky from the journey. We needed the house to be just right and it overperformed in every way. The view is amazing, the house is very clean, everything worked and was well organized. We had some family down from Annapolis and everyone was so impressed. Couldn’t have had a better time. Look forward to visiting again in the future. Very cool neighborhood and a gem of a house.

Good relaxation for a Navy midshipmen and family
Very nice getaway for a family reunion group of 8 while we visited our son at the USNA. Location is 35 min from US Naval academy; perfect to feel like he's really getting off the Yard. Having such a huge yard really offered lots to do (corn hole, frisbee, etc.). The incredible water views drew us all back home every night, along with the gorgeous sunsets. Had really nice weather so we took advantage of the 3 kayaks and paddled around the marina. Bikes were convenient too, as well as small playground 2 houses down. Dock is large, sturdy and fun to fish off of, although we didn't catch anything. House is spacious, clean, roomy and well decorated. Appreciated the info binder which gave great restaurant recommendations. 10 min drive to large grocery store, 5 min to beer & ice store. Neighborhood is family oriented and very quiet. We really felt we were getting away from it all and living the "water life". Thank you!

Relaxation in Shady Side
The property manager was great at answering questions and offered prompt & courteous assistance. The house was exactly as described, and we really appreciated the toys & books for young children. We enjoyed the dock - we fed the fish with the worms on our hooks! Didn't catch any fish but had fun. The nearby swim area and playground was a 2 minute walk for the kids. We are already talking about coming back!

Great place, great location
The house and property are beautiful. We brought our boat with us and made trips to Annapolis and Kent Narrows. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet, has great views, but is centrally located, then consider this as homebase.

Beautiful retreat
We loved our stay here! The views are incredible and the house is wonderfully decorated. The only thing I would note is that the water heater seemed to be on demand, so if people are showering at the same time you will lose hot water. A simple "turn off-turn on" fixed it right up, and it saves water! Our group would love to come back in the summer, I'm sure its lovely.

Another Wonderful Holiday Stay!
We loved this home so much last year that we booked again this year for another peaceful family Thanksgiving getaway. The house is well supplied with everything we needed, and the sun porch facing the water provided seating that allowed us to watch the sunset as we enjoyed each other's company. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood off the beaten path, just what we needed to step away from our busy lives to rest. Easy check in and check out, immaculately clean.

Labor Day Weekend Getaway
Property was as expected based on the listing, property manager very responsive. Location was perfect with a nice size backyard and dock for the kids to enjoy. Beautiful sunset view. Beds were comfortable and more then enough room for 2 families with multiple kids each. Property had onsite cornhole, bikes, and other amenities we weren’t expecting. Kids love to take the kayaks out into the cove and fish off the dock. House was super clean. We loved it so much we are thinking of making this an annual trip with our friends and their family. What an amazing Oasis local to the DMV. Who knew such existed. Definitely will be back.

Beautiful house that feels like a home!
We spent 3 nights and 4 days here and had a very comfortable stay . The house was clean and well maintained and had everything that we needed, even an umbrella to protect our daughter from sun when sitting at the water. The covered patio was a plus to spend time in the morning. Really appreciated the water filter and complimentary coffee in the kitchen.

Amazing property!
Our family enjoyed a wonderful week here. The house was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Even better than the photos. Our nine year old loved the dock, bunk room and big bath upstairs. Crabbing and fishing was a blast! Host was phenomenal and went out of his way to make our stay amazing. Several great restaurants within 15-30 minutes of the house. Lots of great historical places to visit within one to two hours.

Happy Gathering
We really enjoyed staying here. Perfect size and very clean. Amazing master suite overlooking the water. Love that it had a porch, deck and chairs to enjoy the water view. Only suggestion would be to put grab bars in all the showers. We are senior citizens with one handicapped, so really need it. Overall, loved it! Thank you.

Wonderful weekend getaway
The house was very nice and comfortable sitting nicely along the bay. The backyard of the house has some amazing views of the bay. The house is at half an hour drive to Annapolis and Sandy point state park. There are a lot of restaurant options at 15 min drive from the house. The house was very clean and we enjoyed our stay at the house.

Perfect Bridal Shower weekend
We rented the property for My Daughter’s Bridal Shower weekend so that we could all be together. The house was perfect with the most beautiful sunsets! The windows at the back of the house in the family room and in the Master bedroom allow the sunlight in with expansive views of the water. We did not want to leave! The house is very well equipped with everything that you need to cook a large family meal. The property Manager is awesome and she responded very quickly. I loved this house and would definitely rent it again. Also- for anyone that needs a reference of where the property is located- you are only 25 minutes to Annapolis and less than 20 minutes to Dunkirk in Calvert County .This property is also close to enough to DC and Baltimore if you want to do some sightseeing in addition to relaxing on the water. I would highly recommend planning to spend time here just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful sunsets!!

Welcome Home!
This house is tucked away in a neighborhood perfect for a quiet getaway. After parking in the 1-car garage and walking into the home, we were greeted by a huge basket full of goodies, from food to toiletries. The kitchen is well-appointed with extra supplies that included coffee, spices, storage bags, and more. There is a TV in the living room perfect for a movie night, and games too. There's also a booklet there with lists of area restaurants and recreational info as well as other other tips about the home. The bedrooms are large with ample storage options. Saving the best for last...the view! You can see the water as soon as you enter the home, and it was a daily joyful discussion topic. The sunroom is a warm and inviting space and provides the perfect seating arrangement for a family meal (for us, Thanksgiving). Open the door and walk onto the lawn for a delightful outdoor space that also has seating for just relaxing and enjoying the water, or for playing outdoor games (cornhole provided). Every night boasts a beautiful sunset. Give this home a chance to make special memories with friends and family. The owner clearly wants to welcome you!
