Sibling Reunion

This is our second year we have had a reunion with 6 adult siblings ranging in age from 69 to 82 at the Burley Lake house. We have thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the screened-in porch, kayaking, playing Cornhole, sitting in the chairs on the pier. The house is located in such a beautiful, peaceful area. We are hoping we can gather here again next year.

Lovely house, lovely spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is beautifully designed and appointed. Full of light, yet cool. It has just about any feature you'd want for a family stay - even in the extreme heat we experienced. The creek view is very interesting. We weren't able to do any kayaking but look forward to a time when we can in this perfect location. Thank you, Raquel !.

A Welcome Retreat

We had the most relaxing weekend at this beautiful waterfront property. There was plenty of space for all seven of us to hang out and enjoy one another's company while still having the privacy of our own bedrooms and lots of places to sit and reflect. The screened in porch was where we spent much of our time as it had ample seating, table space and magnificent views! A perfect gathering spot. We also had a great time cooking in the large kitchen with three sinks and multiple places to stage food and beverage. It was perfect for our family of foodies! We were in town for a family wedding in Sherwood Forest and we were close enough that it wasn't any issue getting in and out of Annapolis with ease. Our only complaint was that we didn't have enough downtime to enjoy all that this lovely home had to offer. We did do a bit of fishing and kayaking off the dock and it was so peaceful. We hope to return to this special place on Burley Creek!

Wedding weekend stay

The property was excellent. The owner was very helpful in advance of and during our stay. Only hiccup was that when we went to get into the house the code we received in advance didn't work. Unfortunately it was pouring down rain so it was a bit inconvenient. But both VRBO and the owner worked with us to get it resolved. Otherwise the place was great! We would stay again

Dockside Pleasure

We Loved the house, location and dock. Very quiet neighborhood with a beautiful setting. We loved sitting on the dock and screened in porch to just talk. The house was clean, very well appointed and the kitchen was very well equipped. We had 3 couples and we all had our own bed and bath that was nice. One of the baths could have been shared but we didn't have that many people. Not too far from downtown Annapolis, and we loved staying at the house. Kudos to our host and thank you for providing us an opportunity to meet with our friends in a beautiful, comfortable environment.

Remarkable!

This beautiful home was the perfect place for a vacation with our grown children (and grandbaby) living in different states. We loved the wall of windows looking over the water, the screened-in porch for morning coffee and evening game time, and the large kitchen for cooking. We appreciated the kayaks- they were a lot of fun to use on the gorgeous & quiet creek. We came with ideas of things to do in the area, but we enjoyed the house and water so much that we ended up staying there most of the time. Thank you!!!

Visiting Midshipman son over Easter

This was my favorite VRBO in the Annapolis area that we have stayed at during my son's three years at the USNA. The house was extremely clean and bright. The dining room, kitchen, and family room were all open and provided a great place to entertain our family and our son's friends. The outdoor area was fun. We used the kayaks and explored. There were plenty of board games and cards to keep us entertained. The TVs were easy to use. I would definitely recommend this house and plan to return!

About the host

Hosted by Raquel G.

Host profile image
My husband and I are both Naval Academy grads as is our son. I'm a local realtor in downtown Annapolis and we simply love the water, history and everything Annapolis has to offer. As avid boaters, we planned this home to be our full-time residence but it quickly became our extended family's favorite vacation spot so we decided to share it.

Why they chose this property

Our home is nestled along the waterfront of Beechwood on the Burley neighborhood, a lovely coastal community in Annapolis with a rural and wooded feel. We love the central location of this home - it's an easy car or boat ride to downtown Annapolis, close to Sandy Point State Park and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge which provides easy access to the eastern shore beaches and attractions. Burley Creek is a protected, deep-water creek and no-wake zone allowing safe use of the water for paddling, fishing, crabbing, and swimming. Driving past farm land on the way into the neighborhood provides an instant stress reliever.

What makes this property unique

Burley Creek Hideaway is situated on a half-acre lot just steps away from the water with large, private, deep-water pier. We fell in love with the home as soon as we walked in. It has a large kitchen and open floor plan with views of the water, lots of natural light, lovely screened porch and sitting area.
