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.

Amazing, very clean place, nicely decorated, quiet, relaxing, perfectly prepared. Warmly welcomed. Very quick response in the communication. The gear for watersports was wonderful, very friendly neighborhood. We definitely want to come back! Thank you Paul!

Perfect family vacation with plenty of space, a lovely view of the bay and really kind hosts who thought of everything.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
Great location with access to the water and nice views. If you are coming here to cook its not the most well appointed kitchen but the basics are covered. The room with the double twin beds is very noisy like if you turn over the whole frame creeks. We wound up using the trundles instead the second night to avoid the noise. Its clean, and lovely, very cozy. It will feel tight if you are coming off season and need to stay inside.
