Such a great location and super thoughtful hosts. Had a great time in the local area. Cute cottage and relaxing hot tub. We will definitely be coming back. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. Really enjoyed all there is to see around Annapolis. The hosts made sure we had everything we needed.

This was about our 10th stay at Firefly Cottage. It’s near our son’s home in Cape St Clair and serves as our “home-away-from-home” when we are in the area three times/year. The grand kids love coming over to play and spend time there and it works really well for us to have our own space while we’re in Annapolis.

The Firefly Cottage was just what we needed. It was close to the Annapolis Boat Show and near enough to grocery stores, donut shops & assorted stores. Our son & his wife enjoyed the hot tub but we did not take the opportunity to take the Surrey to the beach. Thank you for the dog’s toys & all the snacks. Your hospitality was much appreciated.

Absolutely amazing stay! We came for my birthday, and our hosts went above and beyond to make it special. They decorated the house and surprised me with wine, a cupcake, a birthday card, and other thoughtful touches. I was genuinely blown away!The home was beautiful, comfortable, spotless, and had everything we needed. We spent one day biking 27 miles on the B&A Trail, then came back and relaxed in the hot tub — perfect! This was such a memorable birthday getaway for my husband and me. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for making my birthday so special!

We always enjoy our stay and look forward to returning.Until next time…!

Patricia and Ben are very good at taking care of every detail of the property, as well as their guests. We were there for 4 days and 3 nights, and we enjoyed everything. The only issue was that we could not park our car at the private beach. Other than that, everything was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed using many of the extra amenities like the kayak, the hot tub, gas grill, fire pit and surrey. The private beach was a short walk away. The communication with the host was excellent. If we are in the area again, we would love to come back. Thank you!

We have stayed here since the property opened, 3x/year. It’s our “home away from home” when we’re in Annapolis visiting family. Couldn’t be more perfect for us—wouldn’t stay anywhere else!

Communication prior to our arrival was second to none! When we arrived at the house, every little detailed was considered from a sweet welcome note, to a thoughtful welcome basket, and even down to dog gifts for our fur babies! Because there’s access to the beach, they had beach towels, bug repellent, and sunscreen available. The house was beautiful inside and out with separate towels protected outside for the hot tub. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay! Pat and Ken are fabulous hosts!

Fantastic stay at Firefly cottage. The cottage was pet friendly and in a great location which is why we selected it. It is situated a few hundred yards from the community beach and 10 minutes from Annapolis. The cottage was beautiful and Pat and Ken communicaed everything to us ahead of the trip. They were extremely accommodating and made every effort to make sure our stay was perfect. They provided snacks and milk in the fridge and even left us some wine and cakes to celebrate our stay. We would thoroughly recommend it.
