I really wouldn’t classify the property as 2 1/2 bath. Two full baths would be more correct. The view was fabulous. Unfortunately for us, a family of geese did also! Made the backyard on the last day and next morning unusable. Kitchen was great and the upstairs master had the best views!

This was the quintessential seaside home that novels are written about. The home has a story in every room. The views are spectacular especially from the recently renovated master suite upstairs. The bed was very comfortable and the spaciousness allowed for working and yoga. There was plenty of storage in all the nooks and crannies leading to a master bath that has been recently renovated while keeping the charm of the home. The kitchen was beautiful, clean, functional, thoughtfully designed and a joy to cook in. We enjoyed meals inside at the large family table overlooking the water as well as outside in the screened in gazebo. The sandy beach was perfect for my two little grandsons who came to visit while we were there. The short distance to downtown was perfect for making multiple trips per day if needed. I would highly recommend this property.

Perfect place to stay

Lovely, cozy cottage with everything we needed at a beautiful, peaceful location. Gorgeous views - loved the ducks and osprey hanging out in the yard. Also, very convenient to shopping, grocery stores and downtown Annapolis.

Incredible stay

We wanted to celebrate my wife’s birthday with some friends, and a bushel of crabs…and what an incredible house to host a special occasion. The kids had the water/mini beach and plenty of yard space to play; there was a space outside to eat the crabs; and the house was incredibly clean and inviting.

Comfort Right on the Water

We absolutely loved this house and would love to book again. The little sandy beach was perfect for our granddaughter, the screened-in gazebo with large table was great for picking crabs, and the view from the primary bedroom upstairs was spectacular. The house was clean, comfy, and well stocked. A little gem!
