8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
We had 24 people ranging from ages 1 - 83 so we used every bed and we stayed for a week. As we arrived there were a few things that needed to be attended to but the property manager responded and sent workers over to fix them. It was very hot and humid outside the first few days and the A/C worked great! We enjoyed the pool, volleyball net, hammock, fire ring, exercise equipment, and the large living area on the Luxe side. We even brought in a big round folding table and chairs from the garage for extra seating. There were 4 refrigerators and a chest freezer that made it easy to store food to feed us all. We also used the dock to tie up a boat for the week but the boat lift that is pictured does not work. The steps down to the dock are very steep so our 83 year old did not get a boat ride. We had 8 kids, 10 years old and under, that loved playing in the bunk room on the Luxe side. There is lots of grassy area on the river side and the other side of the house to play games and run around. Sunset views are pretty on the river side and we even saw a July 4th fireworks display from the river side lawn. A perfect ending to our week together!

Wonderful spot for large group. House was massive. Comfortably slept 17 of us. The views of the canals were great and close to Annapolis. Would definitely come back.
