Rare Find 5 Star, No Cleaning fee, Salt Water Pool

5 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviews8 months ago

Katie’s place was a wonderful place for a weekend reunion with friends. The house was clean, comfortable and pretty - exactly as advertised and as shown in the pictures. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. The outdoor garden and pool were lovely and had lots of comfortable seating areas. The house was an easy drive to Annapolis for restaurants and shopping but had a great movie watching set up that would be great for a rainy day. Nearby nice grocery store.

Tammy’s place was worth every penny! We felt right at home from the very start. Everything was very clean and the enclosed patio was an amazing space to watch the sunrise and relax with a glass of wine. It was great to bring our two dogs along and not worry about wandering off because the entire backyard was fenced in. We would definitely stay there again !

Hosts were very accommodating and actually contacted us the day before check out informing us we could stay longer because the house was not being rented after we left. This is the perfect place for a getaway in the Spring or Summer when you can get out on the water in the backyard.
