About this house rental

Nestled in Spa Creek, this charming house for $580 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Absolutely gorgeous downtown waterfront home. Loaded with historical significance and character, all while minutes walking distance to museums, restaurants and festivities on Main Street Annapolis. This home has a deep water slip for up to 40 feet. There are also kayaks and canoes guests may enjoy. And if you aren't up for the short walk to ego alley?... Take the water taxi, they will pick you up and bring you back to 5’s dock. This locally legendary house has had only 2 owners since 1936, each with deep ties to USNA and USMA. It is truly a family home they are happy to share. It’s not a ‘rental’ and the owners desire guests who will treat the home as their own. It is their joy to share this little gem with people who love Annapolis and it’s history. This home is the definition of tranquility as a virtually secret place in the middle of a city. Tucked away on the waterside of Southgate Ave., it is peaceful, quiet and completely private. Sleeps six adults and two children comfortably. Fully equipped kitchen. Laundry on-site. Walking distance to everything Annapolis. This home is truly one of a kind. Note that there is street parking only. The photo of the driveway aims at showing the guests that the entrance to the home is down the driveway and behind 7 Southgate Avenue. This home was built in 1936 for the daughter of the then owners of 7 Southgate. Hence the legacy access. There are multiple garages that are less than .4 of a mile away if extended M-F daytime parking is needed. 2 hour weekday limit but no night or weekend parking restrictions. Both uptown and downtown Annapolis are easy walking distance from Southgate Avenue through beautiful Murray Hill.

We had a lovely stay over Boat Show weekend. The location is convenient to town and being able to catch the water taxi directly from the dock was absolutely perfect. The house is quaint and cozy - quintessential Annapolis. Only suggestion would be to add a full or Queen bed to one of the guest bedrooms. Otherwise we had a great time.

We had an incredible weekend in this charming city and the EXCLAMATION POINT was this home from start to finish! This home is quaint and you can feel the history talking in it! From dusk to dawn the back porch was a favorite spot overlooking Spa Creek. We so wanted to take the water taxi to town, but did not get to use that fun option! Next time! The kitchen worked great and when we had one small issue with the dishwasher, the property manager was quick to help us. In fact, she was available the whole weekend and responsive as we had little questions here and there. We brought 8 guests which filled every bed. ALL raved about the character of this historic charmer! It entertains very easily and the galley kitchen ended up being overly competent at serving up a large group of hungry folks. The oven heated quickly and we cooked up some yummy dinners and breakfasts in there. The only downfall was parking but our manager advised us well on that issue. Beds were very comfortable, Showers great. We LOVED the numerous places to sit in the living room and this worked great to serve up a fun Friday night dinner our group. Also, the dinner room has a lot of candles. We lit them up and it was delightful! There also is an antique expandable dining table that can seat at least 8. We would LOVE to come back to enjoy this best kept secret soooooon! Spa Creek Boutique! Thank you for the memories we will treasure forever with our Midshipman and his friends. A PLUS.

Tucked away on Spa Creek, this home is an easy walk to Main Street, USNA, and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It's an older home but clean with many thoughtful accoutrements (like device charging stations) and friendly "leave more than you take" philosophy to supplies you'll likely need during your stay. I ran into one issue with a faulty sensor shutting off the water the first night of our stay. It happened late on a Friday night. The owner identified the problem remotely over night and had it fixed by 4AM. The level of responsiveness was amazing!

We did a milestone birthday celebration at this sweet house and it was just perfect. We had a mixed group so the bunk beds worked for us. The deck (with a retractable awning) overlooks the water and was great for morning coffee and happy hour. It was one of the highlights for us. The kitchen is small but well appointed with everything you might need and there's an ice maker in the basement. We were able to (snuggly) dock a 35' sailboat, but it did take some thoughtful maneuvering. They offered kayaks, but we didn't use them; however you can see it would be fun and easy to kayak, canoe, paddle board, etc. off the end of the dock. Accessing downtown was easy (~1 mile) via Uber or a 15 minute walk. The water taxi can be requested right to the end of the dock which was a fun little adventure. The hosts were fabulous and very easy to work with. We'd love to rent it again!

We stayed for two weeks and absolutely loved the water access, the charm of the cottage, and the closeness to town. Our kids loved it and we did too.
