About this cottage rental

A perfect getaway spot, on a peninsula on the West River just across from Galesville. Houses on the point are mostly waterfront and neighbors are friendly and quiet. Say hi or just enjoy the sunset from the porch or the dock. Kitchen is fine for cooking, though nearby restaurants in Deale and Galesville are tempting and Annapolis is only 20 minutes away. If you are a boater, the Bay awaits! Galesville is even closer by water and you can kayak to dinner. I love going to this peaceful place, and I hope you will too.

The house is available at reduced rates during the colder months, a perfect spot for a sabbatical or writing that book. It's cozy in winter with baseboard heat, and the fireplace works.

The cottage was very comfortable, and you can't beat the view. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing and looking out at the water, and the sunsets were beautiful. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and the entire place was well appointed with everything you need for a short-term stay. The owner is extremely friendly and responsive, and quick to make suggestions for local places you might want to check out. We enjoyed our stay so much we've decided to reserve this cottage again for our next trip back to Maryland.

This was such a beautiful property right on the water! It was everything I wanted for a quiet weekend away. The host was quick to respond and full of great recommendations. I am definitely planning on staying here again and will recommend it to anyone else 10/10

The home is tucked away in a quiet and charming neighborhood, directly on the water. This is an older home with lots of character that has all the amenities you need for a short-term or long-term stay. The house provides all supplies for the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom (all you need to bring are clothes and food). The house is approximately 35 minutes from downtown Annapolis, with a straightforward drive. The home features a covered carport located at the back of the property. The enclosed front porch is great for watching the sunset over the water. The kayak is great for taking out into the water to paddle around, one of our favorite activities, and the neighborhood is also lovely for walking. The host was excellent in communication, offering local suggestions and being readily available to address any issues that arose during our 6-week stay. This house is ideal for singles or couples seeking a relaxing retreat in a cozy cottage by the water, especially if you have a boat.

Was disappointed at the cleanliness of the property (mice droppings). Bed was very uncomfortable due to two mattresses being put together. We took out the AC filters and cleaned them. This home has great potential, just needs a little updating.
