About this property

Bay View Studio Apartment

Sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge may be enjoyed from your apartment with tall windows facing the bay, private patio, and hot tub! 50 ft of waterfront make this private walk-out garden-level apartment nestled in a small wooded oasis near downtown Annapolis a gem. Walk to the marinas or the Sailing School to catch a water taxi to downtown or book a private sail or fishing tour. Walk to Port Annapolis to get some fresh baked goods at Black Market Bakery.

Access the large 1000+ sf private apartment from a rear separate entrance of this owner-occupied home. There is dedicated space for 2 cars at the end of the driveway.

The King bed is spacious. The Queen sleeper sofa by American Leather is the most comfortable on the market. Note that this apartment is a studio, and the bedroom is open to the living space and queen sleeper sofa.

Enjoy high speed internet during your stay. Watch your shows on the flat screen TV using your streaming accounts (there is no cable; bring your passwords to log in to your favorite steaming channels such as Netflix, AppleTV, Amazon Prime, YouTube, etc.). There is an XBOX and a large collection of DVDs for some old-school movie thrills.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING INSURANCE: When you book with VRBO, you should see an option for either paying an insurance fee (flat rate ~$59) or submitting a refundable deposit. Choose whichever option best suits you. These transactions are with VRBO, not the host.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bay View Studio Apartment. It's an excellent use of an excellent location. The apartment is spacious, warm and welcoming. The kitchen was well-equipped, tidy and easy to navigate. The entire place felt clean and orderly. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub at the close of day. The sunrises and sunsets were stunning! We highly recommend Laura as a host!

A million dollar view far from the craziness of downtown Annapolis fed my soul for five weeks this summer! Absolutely stunning if you are a "water person." Check-in was easy, and Laura, the host, is delightful, extremely responsive, attentive, and always available. The apartment is basic, but very clean and comfortable. It's a five-star all around!

We absolutely loved our stay! The studio is very large, comfortable and spotless. Perfect for 2 people. The view of the Bay is beautiful, and the property is very tranquil. Laura, our host, has thought of everything to make our visit perfect. Fully stocked kitchen, and the most comfortable sheets. She communicates immediately and you would never know she lives above you, the house is very quiet. We look forward to returning next year. Thanks for making this a great vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Hanby

Host profile image
I love to travel and find that my best travel stays are in hosted properties. I'm happy to share my home with you so that you may fall in love with the Chesapeake just as I have. Here you have a private apartment with separate entrance. I will give you space and privacy, but I can be easily reached if you need anything.

Why they chose this property

The water is mesmerizing! And so close to downtown Annapolis - you can literally paddle there.

What makes this property unique

Guests often discover that the cozy apartment with gas fireplace, windows looking out to the water, patio, BBQ and hot tub become as much a part of their vacation as exploring downtown Annapolis.
