Before booking the cottage, we want you to be sure that it is the perfect fit for your vacation. This means we want to be clear on our policies before booking. Please take the time to read the information below that you are agreeing to when booking.

1. We like to celebrate too, but you are booking this property understanding that no more than 6 guests are permitted. “Parties, events, receptions, festivals, meetings, commercial use, or guests above the registered number are strictly prohibited”. Animals are not permitted in the house or on the property due to life threating allergies. Please note that breaking these important house rules will result in the immediate termination of your booking along with any cleaning charges or damages that occur as a result of breaking these rules.

2. Accidents happen! The good news is when you book the cottage you will have purchased accidental damage insurance. The insurance covers all accidental damages up to $1500, but you MUST report the damages to me through the message center BEFORE you check out. From there I can submit the claim, its really is a very easy process. I encourage you to do utilize this great coverage by doing a quick walk through before you depart so that you can avoid being billed for accidental damages.

3. Absolutely no smoking of any type. The cottage is inspected immediately upon check out and any trace of smoking is immediately identifiable to the proceeding guests. You will be 100% responsible for any cleaning fees or smoke damage to the cottage.

4. Swimming is at your own risk, absolutely no diving as the deep end is only 5.5 feet. You are booking with the understanding that there is no lifeguard, no pool alarm, no pool cover. You will be required to sign a pool liability waiver prior to check in. You are responsible for your children and guests while staying at the cottage.

5. For the safety and security of our property, please note there are 3 exterior cameras. One on the driveway, one outside the fence viewing the outer perimeter of the property, and the last on the far corner of the property at the shed. All three cameras are activated by motion.

6. We are one of the very few properties that does not charge a cleaning fee (most for properties this size in this area are upwards of $300. We trust that you will care for the cottage as you would your own home and will leave it as you hope a guest in your own home would.


I look forward to being your host!

Cheers,

Katie




Best Things to Do in Annapolis

With a nickname like the "Sailing Capital of the U.S.,” it should come as no surprise that Annapolis plays host to various water-adjacent activities. The warmer months are particularly buzzy around Annapolis Harbor and City Dock, the heart of the historic district.


If you’re visiting for the first time, a guided tour of the city is your best bet to cover as much ground as possible. In true Annapolis fashion, there are plenty of options to see the area by boat. Visitors who come aboard the Harbor Queen will explore Annapolis Harbor and cruise by the banks of the Naval Academy while learning about the city’s history and geography (tours are available from April through October). The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park also offers Skipjack history tours that provide additional information about the Chesapeake Bay and its ecology. Travelers who don’t quite have their sea legs can opt for a 60-minute trolley tour around the charming streets, marinas, and high points of the city. Access to the U.S. Naval Academy is limited, but it’s certainly a must-see spot when in Annapolis. Both public and private tours can be arranged through the Armel-Leftwich Visitor Center.


SERRNOVIK/GETTY IMAGES
If you prefer to discover a new place on your own, be sure to walk down brick-paved Main Street and pop into its shops, art galleries, restaurants, and bars. One block away, you'll find State Circle and the Maryland State House, the only state house to have served as the nation's capital and the oldest state capital in continuous legislative use. Further out in the Annapolis Design District — about two miles from State Circle — numerous murals decorate the city. From the 7,000-square-foot Breonna Taylor mural (located at 14 Dorsey Avenue) to the Carlester “Walking Man” Smith mural (found at 1100 West Street) that honors a local who spent 40-plus years cleaning up the trash from Annapolis streets, these murals can be appreciated via a self-guided walking tour.

AMAZING Stay!
We stayed at the cottage for a week in late July and could not have been happier! Beautiful house, lots of room to spread out, well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. The back yard was paradise with several different sitting areas, plenty of toys for the pool and room to play. The entire family loved the pool as we swam at least once a day the entire week. Location was perfect for day trips to DC, less than an hour each way. Local restaurants were excellent and downtown Annapolis is beautiful! The owners were very responsive at every point in the process and provided a great welcome package complete with a TON of recommendations for local spots to check out. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great location, beautiful house
The property was very clean and well decorated. You could tell care and love is placed into the house and landscaping. The backyard and pool area is gorgeous! Despite unlucky/rainy weather and temperatures in the 60s, the pool was heated so warm that we went in everyday with the kids which was so nice. Annapolis is very close by. Plenty of fluffy towels, comfortable beds, nice small touches of welcome goodies and quality soap/shampoo, etc.

Yet another great stay!
This is our third summer staying at the cottage. It's just a great house for family vacations. Four spacious bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a super comfortable tv room ... and the heated salt water pool! The house is super clean and the backyard is beautifully landscaped and appointed. And if that wasn't enough, guests are welcomed with an amazing gift basket on arrival. Perfect, private family getaway!

The love and care put into this home is just amazing. The house was perfect for grandparents and kids to enjoy together. The pool is great and layout of the house really great. Very clean and well cared for. And the host Katie really rolled out the red carpet for us with warm welcome messages, very easy instructions, immediacy of responses and even a gift basket. Our kids had a blast and parents enjoyed everything. So close to Annapolis, the beach and crab places. Loved it all!!!

Absolutely top notch.
This was by far the best Vrbo experience we've had. Every aspect of our stay, from the welcome basket with fresh cut flowers and goodies to the cleanliness of the house, exceeded our hopes. The saltwater pool was pristine, and it really defined the stay, but my 4 kids (ages 16-23) were oohing and aahing from the moment they walked in the door. There was plenty of room for everybody, and we loved hanging out in the open plan kitchen/living room, surrounded by natural light from the large, un-curtained windows. I'm a sculptor, so I appreciated the clean, contemporary look of the interior, the marble countertops, and the overall feeling that everything was done the way you hope for in rental, but don't often find. Katie, the host, answered the few questions we had promptly and was extremely welcoming. Definitely a five star experience.

Great stay (again)!
For the second consecutive year, we spent about a week at Katie’s house. Once again, the house was immaculate with everything you need for a getaway with friends and family. The saltwater heated pool is the perfect all-day fun for kids and relaxing for grownups too. There are lots of places to gather together inside and out. And there are quiet spaces where you can curl up with a book or watch your tablet. Grocery stores and restaurants are nearby. Katie, the owner, checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. It was an all-around great stay once again!

Beautiful home, pool and garden and five star hosts!
Our family reunited at Katie's home for a long weekend and we couldn't have had a more welcoming and happy time. This house experience is a gem! The house and grounds are exactly as pictured...airy, tasteful and impecablly clean. The heated saltwater pool was the dazzling highlight of each day for adults and kids alike, but we appreciated every detail of the thoughtful outdoor space from the lush private garden to the lovely lounge spaces. Indoors, everything is well cared for and ready to go, from clean linens to kitchen appliances to TV stations and the washer and dryer. Katie knows the area well and gave us plenty of local tips for groceries and activities. And to top it off, there was the most incredible welcome basket of local foods when we arrived. We were truly charmed! Thank you so much.

Staycation better than we dreamed!
I had super high hopes for our first, 6 day family staycation after the tough restricted year we’ve all had and our experience exceeded expectations! We only live about an hour away but wanted a house with a pool to enjoy with two small families (each two parents and one child). We didn’t even know it when we booked but we also live in the cicada epicenter in MD so we were hopeful that this home would get us a break from that and it truly delivered. Pros: -Awesome heated saltwater pool and BEAUTIFULLY landscaped yard -Several comfortable outdoor seating areas -Clean, Clean, did I say Clean! Such peace of mind from this -Amazing welcome basket and treats that had something for everyone -Nice privacy from other homes in the area -Super responsive owner (we only had one inquiry involving a short internet outage that Katie quickly helped us resolve) Again, you will NOT be disappointed in this place but a few things to consider depending on what type of trip you’re planning: -Pots/Pans - I cooked probably two meals almost everyday and we were there (6 days) so I definitely needed some additional cookware, a bigger pasta pot, 1 larger skillet, measuring cup. If you’re not cooking a lot this won’t be an issue. -Beds: the king bed and the downstairs bed are SUPER comfortable. The other two are pretty soft so adults might not be thrilled about those for longer stays. -No outdoor table to eat: We ordered crabs one day and ate outside but it was pretty difficult without a dining table outside. Next time I would bring a folding table. This house and the owner is amazing. You will not regret booking this one. My only wish is that there will be days available for us to go back soon! Thanks to Katie for sharing her home with us!
