Historic Annapolis Home And Garden
About this house rental
This delightful two bedroom, two full bath duplex occupies the second and third floors of a lovely home built in 1900, under the dome of the USNA Chapel. A beautiful park-like garden behind the house features a flagstone patio and serpentine pathway, and exquisite landscaping. The entry to the home is framed by an inviting front porch, and inside the front door is a small vestibule with a separate entrance and stairs to the second level. At the top of the stairs there is a nicely equipped fully renovated kitchen with granite countertops, which overlooks the garden. To the right is a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub and shower, and next down the hall is a queen sized bedroom. At the front of the house is a welcoming living room, equipped with TV and cable, and plenty of seating for groups. The third floor is a large master suite with a queen bed, a second full bath, and a queen sized futon for expansion. Bed and bath linens are provided. The house is conveniently located between Gate 1 and Gate 3 of the Naval Academy, and is a 5 minute walk to the harbor, popular restaurants, and shopping that Historic Annapolis is known for. As a reminder, there is no smoking allowed anywhere on the premises, and guests must have the written permission of the owners to host gatherings for non-registered guests. A 3 night minimum rental is required. We look forward to welcoming you as our guest. If you request a booking, please add information about what is bringing you to Annapolis, and the number of guests that will be staying.

Enjoyed our stay. Extremely hospitable and nice hosts. Marlys answered any questions promptly and she and her husband were extremely polite. Very clean and it was a convenient location near the Academy and downtown; about 2 blocks. The steps to get to the 2nd/3rd floors might be difficult for anyone with bad knees or back. We had a little trouble going up with heavy luggage because it’s narrow and a tight squeeze. The other historic homes are likely the same though and it wasn’t an issue that would keep me from returning.
Would stay again for a short trip (2-3 nights), but would need a larger kitchen for an extended trip. We enjoy cooking so there weren’t many comfortable stools and there is no dining area. But it you are just looking for clean, accommodating, and convenient and plan to eat out; go for it. Would have been nice to have had another hair blower in the 3rd floor bathroom so we wouldn’t have needed to keep going up and down the steps to borrow the one on the 2nd floor. Beds were comfortable and futon was okay for the 14yr old; maybe not for an adult. Molly the dog was adorable. :) Thank you for letting us use your home. :)

Fabulous location on a quiet street just a five-minute walk from the centre of town. Everything was spotless and perfect, from the comfortable beds, to the "sing along songs" for the shower and the wonderful view from the kitchen window. And a charming host who went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed.

Absolute Pleasure
Marlys was a wonderful hostess. The unit was absolutely perfect for our stay — centrally located in Annapolis, yet a quiet haven that was cozy for our family gathering. The property was clean, and had amazing views to the garden, as well as the dome of the Naval Chapel. This place is a gem!

Perfection
There is really no mystery as to why Marlys and Pete have earned exceptional reviews on VRBO and we were very fortunate that their home was available for our stay. This was our first VRBO and we were pleasantly surprised. Their home was very clean, comfortable and had every amenity that we needed for our stay.
Their home is located in the historic district, and it is sheer perfection. Moreover, they treat their guests like family. After Marlys contacted me, I knew exactly what I needed to do to plan for our visit because her recommendations were flawless.
As it is a very short walk to gate 1 or gate 3 of USNA, we were able to come back and forth throughout the day to rest between activities for Plebe Summer. The bonus was that with a full kitchen, I was able to bring a homecooked meal to our Plebe during the picnic after the oath ceremony.
The pictures of this property simply don't do it justice. The garden is absolutely beautiful, and we hope to enjoy it more on our next visit. As you stand in the kitchen, you'll be in awe of the Naval Academy Chapel view. We will certainly stay again and recommend this home to family and friends!
*No need to rent a car because Annapolis is made for walking and everything you could possibly need is very close! Just Uber from the airport and relax.

Perfect for a small family or two people
The property was charming and the location perfect. We had originally booked with another couple who had to cancel. In retrospect, the 2nd flight of stairs would have proven to be a hindrance. The owner did advise us of this at booking, so it is no reflection on them. The owners were easy to correspond with and totally accomodating to all of our requests.

Wonderful Stay with Gracious Hosts
My family and I stayed for a week this summer. The rental was fantastic - convenient to downtown Annapolis and the USNA. Pete and Marlys are great hosts and were gracious with their time for evening wine and cheese in the back garden. Opening the kitchen windows each evening at 6PM for the USNA Chapel Bells during dinner became routine. We will definitely make this our home away from home on future visits!

Delightful
This wonderful place is the perfect base for exploring historic Annapolis! The waterfront, shops and a bajillion restaurants are a short and charming walk away. The home itself is sparkling clean and lovingly maintained. Comfortable beds and furnishings, well-equipped kitchen -and access to a dreamy back garden. The hosts are lovely and sincerely want their guests to have an outstanding stay. They were very kind and accommodating, and communication was prompt and easy. Would love to visit again.

Fantastic & Perfect Downtown Annapolis Stay in Everyway!
Words won't convey how perfect our stay was - perfection that starts and ends with tremendous hosts who were incredibly kind, thoughtful, responsive and went out of their way to ensure our stay was nothing short than great. The house itself is nothing short of spectacular: A 121-year-old historic home that has only had three owners. Despite it's age, the house has every amenity you might need for a multi-week stay. Two well appointed and very, very comfortable bedrooms and full baths, a super cozy living room, a well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer and quality high-speed internet, digital a/c etc. While the living spaces are fantastic, it's the property's garden with spectacular landscaping that is truly breathtaking; multiple sitting areas, outdoor grill, tables, umbrellas -- it's literally like you are staying in the US National Arboretum. And if the garden isn't enough, the kitchen and both bedrooms have postcard-worthy views of the USNA Chapel Dome which towers above. The property also has a great front porch for sitting/people watching. The home is just steps from USNA Gate 3; everything in downtown Annapolis is in easily walkable distance - and the King George location is much quieter on weekend nights compared to other DTA properties we've stayed at previously. Ultimately though, what makes this choosing this property a no-brainer are the owners/hosts who just really care. There was literally nothing they could have done to improve our experience because it was so positive, but it was clear to us that if there had been any issue at all, they would have jumped. We could not recommend more highly.
