Great location! Beds were very comfortable. My only suggestion would be to mention in the description that the master bedroom with the king size bed does not have an actual door that shuts completely. Instead there are two shutter like doors which doesn’t make the bedroom sound proof for privacy. ##### JoJo T. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 17 Oct 2025 #### Incredible stay in the BEST location We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful historic home - built in the 1800s but updated with every modern feature you could want. The house is adorable and spacious with high end appliances, gorgeous decor, and plenty of room for our group of four couples to relax and enjoy. The location couldn’t be better - right downtown and walkable to amazing restaurants, shops, the U.S. Naval Academy, and we even walked to a game at the stadium. We got coffee just 2 blocks away in the mornings and walked along the marina. At night we had dinner & drinks in the home’s adorable backyard patio area. It’s the perfect spot for anyone wanting to experience historic Annapolis with all the comfort and space of a vacation home. Thank you - we can’t wait to come back! ##### Laura This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren C. 15 Oct 2025 #### Historic home in downtown Annapolis I have rented homes all over the world but this is a rare gem. First the location is second to none. Right in the heart of downtown, we walked to docks, to shopping, to coffee and out for dinner. This lovely home comfortably slept our family with large gathering rooms and a fabulous outdoor entertaining area. Everything we needed was available in the chefs kitchen. I was looking for an immersive historical experience for my visit to Annapolis and this home was icing on the cake. It’s easy to see why it has welcomed families for many years. PS: Catch the water taxi at City Dock to the Chart House. Grab a bite to eat in Eastport and walk back over the bridge to Green Street. Inexpensive fun for any age! ##### Lauren C. ---
