Serene spot, West River dock, sunsets, the Bay, only 40 min from Alexandria, DC.
A perfect getaway spot, on a peninsula on the West River just across from Galesville. Houses on the point are mostly waterfront and neighbors are friendly and quiet. Say hi or just enjoy the sunset from the porch or the dock. Kitchen is fine for cooking, though nearby restaurants in Deale and Galesville are tempting and Annapolis is only 20 minutes away. If you are a boater, the Bay awaits! Galesville is even closer by water and you can kayak to dinner. I love going to this peaceful place, and I hope you will too.
The house is available at reduced rates during the colder months, a perfect spot for a sabbatical or writing that book. It's cozy in winter with baseboard heat, and the fireplace works.
Perfectly situated on the water for a fair price and plenty of room for me and my husband would recommend to anybody who wants a quiet stay with a amazing view
The house was very clean with all needed amentities plus. Mary was very responsive to any questions, including suggestions of local beaches. The view is incredible, especially late evening. Location wise, you are within 1-2 hours of several major cities. Will definitely plan to stay here for any future trips!
So much fun! The house and location were perfect! I had so much fun kayaking and walking around the gorgeous neighborhood- there were friendly ducks/geese that would come up to the lawn and sleep right outside the windows. This was a perfect get away.
The home is tucked away in a quiet and charming neighborhood, directly on the water. This is an older home with lots of character that has all the amenities you need for a short-term or long-term stay. The house provides all supplies for the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom (all you need to bring are clothes and food). The house is approximately 35 minutes from downtown Annapolis, with a straightforward drive. The home features a covered carport located at the back of the property. The enclosed front porch is great for watching the sunset over the water. The kayak is great for taking out into the water to paddle around, one of our favorite activities, and the neighborhood is also lovely for walking. The host was excellent in communication, offering local suggestions and being readily available to address any issues that arose during our 6-week stay. This house is ideal for singles or couples seeking a relaxing retreat in a cozy cottage by the water, especially if you have a boat.
Wonderful place to stay south of Annapolis. Yes, itâs an older cottage, with all the requisite quirks youâd expect. Thatâs part of its charm, just as much as the sunset views and peaceful neighborhood that feels like youâre on a small island.
Had everything we needed for a quiet weekend away! Mary is a delightful host and was readily available. We enjoyed the kayaks and the electric grill. Property was easy to find.
We really enjoyed the simplicity of the cottage - no bells and whistles, but that's perfect for us. The location and views were outstanding and the enclosed porch faving the water was wonderful for relaxing with a good book.
My family stayed at this VRBO and it couldn't have worked out better. Small quaint house tucked away by the water was very peaceful to come home to after a busy day touring D.C. Many things to do nearby with just a short drive. We enjoyed the kayaks that came with the house with a 10 minute paddle to a fun restaurant.
Mary was very responsive to my messages and a very kind person.
We had a wonderful getaway at this property! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the many ospreys in the area, and we got some spectacular sunset photos while we were there! Worked in the dedicated office area for a couple of days and enjoyed the view of the lake while working. Great place for a couple to unwind and relax.
The views are stunning and we could not have asked for more. I especially liked being able to cook and make coffee in the mornings. If given the opportunity we would love to stay again.
The place was exactly as pictured. The location was perfect and the view was spectacular. Check in and out was very simple and the owner is very responsive. I had no problems during my stay but we had communicated before and after. I highly recommend this charming home.
We could have stayed on the porch looking at the water, boats and sunsets our entire stay. In fact, one day we did! We imagine it would be great when the leaves change. We might plan our next stay around that

The river views made this place for us. The house is old and needs some upgrades, but we thought the place was charming. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. Many comfy places to relax with great water views. TV, WiFi and charging station was a plus and for us having a washer & dryer was great. Our host was terrific. We would definitely stay here again. A counter of some kind in the bathroom and another in the bedroom for clothes would be helpful but all in all, a fun little cottage.
Was disappointed at the cleanliness of the property (mice droppings). Bed was very uncomfortable due to two mattresses being put together. We took out the AC filters and cleaned them. This home has great potential, just needs a little updating.
