I would definitely recommend this cottage! I was very impressed with cleanliness of this home. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. We booked this home to attend my son’s graduation from the US Naval Academy. It was the perfect distance from the stadium. The beach was very relaxing and private. We hated to leave.

We have stayed at The Anchors several times when visiting Annapolis and hope you will as well. The home is beautifully and comfortably furnished with all you need. The location is ideal, close to downtown in a beautiful water community ideal for long walks. The hosts are welcoming and really interested in your comfort. We will be back for sure!

This beautiful cozy little cottage is nestled in a delightful quiet private beach community. The Anchors (owners) are super friendly, attentive and quick to respond to you if you have any questions. Our family of 4 from Katy, Texas, stayed there for 1 week to celebrate our son’s commissioning week and graduation from the US Naval Academy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their cottage. Grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. are just minutes away. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage for any couple or small family that wishes to get away, unwind and enjoy the tranquility of a private beach community in beautiful Annapolis, Maryland.

#### Immaculate and Comfortable Cottage By the Beach
We have stayed in many VRBO properties around the country and "The Anchors" is by far the most pleasant experience we have ever had. The cottage is immaculately clean, thoughtfully fitted out, and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of hot water-these are the most important things we look for in a rental property. The rainfall shower is a pleasant touch! The owners, Carolyn and Winston, are tremendously gracious and accommodating. They made us feel very much at home in this jewel of a cottage! The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed- you can actually feel your blood pressure go down as you arrive in this laid back community! Cannot wait to return!

#### Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway
We stayed here last year for a long weekend and loved it so much we came back for a full week this year! It's the perfect place to relax and de-stress -- quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach, comfortable house, wonderful hosts. We spent all day on the beach with our 4-year-old and enjoyed trying different local restaurants -- recommended by Winston and Carolyn -- in the evenings. This is a dream spot -- we will be back again!
