Great house in the heart of downtown Annapolis!Walk to everything! Well kept with lots of fun and historic USNA decor. Looking forward to staying again for future visits to our Mid. No negatives but one suggestion would be to clean up & spruce up the back patio and yard for the seasons when it would be useful. Once again, GREAT HOUSE!

Perfect house

This is the best VRBO my family has stayed in. Location is unbeatable, the house is clean, spacious, and cozy and the host is communicative. It has been the perfect house for my family to stay at two years in a row for Christmas now! Love it!

Great Family House

We had a wonderful Navy football weekend stay in Annapolis at this property. We had 2 families (one with 2 kids and another with 3 kids) and we all were very comfortable. The location can’t be beat walking distance to Main Street, The Yard, and Navy Marine Corps Stadium. Parking garages nearby were also convenient.

Beautiful accommodations within walking distance to downtown

Great place for a big family or group to stay. Very close to downtown Annapolis. Everything is labelled for finding items, light switches etc. Check in and check out went off without a hitch. Communication was great, host was available when needed and not at all intrusive (as we have seen before). Hope to stay here again.

NEVER ABLE TO STAY

Arrived with fire alarm going off. Handy man came. Couldn't fix. Not able to stay at the house. Had to be switched to another house which was not anywhere near the location I wanted.

Beautiful stay in historic Annapolis!

We truly loved our long weekend in this historic house in the heart of Annapolis. Very homey and clean with everything we needed. Plenty of towels, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and amazing character. We enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard, played cards at the kitchen table, ate at some amazing restaurants in walking distance, shopped, and watched boats coming in and out. We will be back!

Beautiful House in a Perfect Location

This gorgeous and historic home was perfect for a girls trip. The bedrooms were spacious and there were multiple gathering spaces for everyone to relax together. The home is steps from Main Street with a convenient parking garage one block away. The host went above and beyond to help, even helping to return an item that I left behind after our stay. 10/10 spot for your Annapolis getaway!

Historic home full of character

Great walkability to everything. Garage is quick walk to park. Owner was very flexible. Lots of fun memorabilia. Kitchen is well stocked. Plenty of towels. The only thing I’d suggest is to change some lightbulbs. 2 of 3 master bedroom lights did not work. Also couldn’t find any extra blankets where the binder/labels said they would be located.

About the host

Host profile image
Navy vets Frank (USNA 1975) and Deb (USUHS 1984) have loved spending time in Annapolis for decades! We have been providing a vacation rental a few doors away on Green Street since 2013 and have loved being able to help other visitors enjoy the city. We now would like to share this historic home too!
