About this house rental
Water-lovers dream waterfront cottage 15 min to Annapolis, Navy Academy & 40 min from DC with perfect paddleboarding waters, sandy little beach for kids, fishing gem, pickleball courts & private ramp for boats out your back door. Vacation or commute! Welcome to our favorite place to pop in & out on weekends or lazy afternoons. Grab your laptop, zoom from the porch or office - and still get on the water between meetings! Need to run home to DC for a swimsuit or favorite stuffy you forgot? Done!
The space has a surprise view as you walk towards the kitchen and a surprising number of bedrooms too! While there is only one shower, there is another half bath and an outdoor shower being built now. The rooms are petite but each has a dresser and closet and fits a queen bed. The beds are all foam mattresses with a Tempurpedic in the Propeller Room.
The rooms, living room and kitchen belong exclusively to guests. There is a laundry room with an outdoor entrance and an indoor entrance that is locked, where the cleaners and owners may come and go. Please note - we do provide a small volume washer for your use next to the fridge to wash out your swimsuits or kids clothes in small loads. There is currently not a dryer. We keep 2 small owners’ closets in the home which are locked.
The home has a loft area you’ll see in the living room but this is not accessible to guests. We’ve used it as storage. There is no proper floor to walk on so we do not allow guests access. It’s just not usable space at this point.

We had an absolutely great stay! Such a cozy spot on the water. House has some quirks which to me makes it more fun (I'm a contractor). We were there for a USNA event so got to spend a ton of quality time with my daughter there for Plebe Summer. Plenty of room, beds and linens were quality. Kitchen was well stocked for home cooked meals. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Can't wait for our next trip!

Everything was as listed in the description. Communication was great with host and quick to help or give information needed. Very clean. My older kids loved the stay and having access to the games and fishing pole.

Amazing place! We were in town for a lacrosse tournament. 3 moms and three 13 year old boys had a blast! Boys spent hours on the water, mom relaxed on the deck! Clean, comfortable, everything we needed!

We enjoyed the space for a small family retreat and being that it was on the water hoped to enjoy more fishing, and crabbing which wasn't allowed. Luckily Mike’s Restaurant is a 5 min drive and a great option for crabs. There was a bit of confusion as to the accessibility to the water and pier, so just be aware that the view is amazing; compliments to the Creator. The space is located in a community that restricts boating and access so not recommended for recreational use if you're not familiar with the area or not ready to explore more options in rentals. Though the space wasn't the most private, the views were spectacular and worth booking just for the peace and quiet, or a work from home staycation option. The house was very clean on the inside and well stocked for guests' needs. beware of the bird poo on the back patio and furniture. The quick evening rains did well with washing them off, and drying them out for a night's under the stars.
