Chesapeake Bay Getaway | New Waterfront With Private Pier | Near Annapolis /USNA

Place is the cutest thing ever. Amazingly quiet here aside from the beautiful sounds of wind chimes next door. Not sure my wife will ever want to leave!

We came to visit family over the holidays and this was a lovely quiet place to enjoy a cup of tea. I have stayed at many VRBOs over the years and appreciated that the host provided k-cups for coffee.

Our son and daughter in law joined us for a 2 day stay while we attended my nephew’s wedding at Londontown and Gardens. The house was perfect for our needs, quiet, clean and very relaxing views. The adult children took the canoe out for exploring on a beautiful day! The host Heather was very responsive and welcomed us with a nice gift basket and personal note that made us feel very taken care of. Highly recommend Shelby on the bay!

Where do I begin? This place is perfect. Upon arrival, we were instantly captivated by the view. At 41, I regressed to my 8 year old self and immediately claimed the sleeping porch as mine. I don't know how many times I said this is all I need, and I wasn't talking about a vacation rental. Heather was the most professional, responsive, and kind host. Every question I asked was answered promptly and pleasantly. Photos don't do this place justice. Tastefully designed, updated, and somehow modern and timeless at the same time. The furniture felt substantial and comfortable, the linens were plentiful and luxurious. There was a welcome basket for us that was clearly well thought out, and such a classy touch. This was a fishing trip, but wow did this place elevate that whole experience! We booked a fishing charter with Is That Right Sportfishing, and to our surprise they dock around the corner. We checked the depth charts, and this perfect cottage enabled dockside service. The Captain was a pro, edging the transom to the end of the dock for easy loading/offloading. The kids learned how to catch spots off the dock for bait, checked crab traps, caught rockfish, had a surprise visit from the Captain who took us to dinner by boat. Kids declared this BEST TRIP EVER and cried when we left. Do your soul a favor - sleep on the porch, make a coffee, sneak out before anyone wakes up, and catch a sunrise on the dock. This place is magic. We will be back.

Great overall stay. Nice property on the bay. Dock was recently updated. Grandsons liked checking the crab traps. Kitchen was well equipped and beds comfortable, furniture cozy too. We did use the deck and had a fire pit one night during our stay. All good. Owner left nice welcome basket in kitchen. WiFi very reliable. Good location if you want to stay near Annapolis but avoid the hub-bun of Annapolis. We were in the area for a wedding and family visiting.

This property was simply amazing. The photos don’t do it justice. This peaceful waterfront setting was just what was needed for our anniversary weekend. We enjoyed the working fire place and the gorgeous sun room for coffee in the mornings. The host was absolutely wonderful and the home had everything you could possibly need. Will definitely be back! Located close to Annapolis, Kent Island and close enough for a quick trip to DC as well. Loved it!

Location was awesome and let us spread out and enjoy the property as well as all be together in the family room. Very enjoyable.

We had a great time. The place was extremely clean. A very nice gift basket from the owners was awaiting our arrival. There are comfortable couches and chairs in the den. Big table for meals. Beds were also comfortable with lots of extra pillows and blankets. There are a lot of nice places to sit outside. The dock was a true highlight. We sat on the dock at every opportunity. The location is tucked away and very quiet yet convenient to everything. Annapolis is a short dive and Uber is accessible. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!!

Extremely clean house. Lockbox stopped working (needed a new battery). This was a minor annoyance. Otherwise great. Town is very quiet - not much to do but house is right on the water. Too dangerous to bring the canoe down to the water (too steep and not good spot for getting it o ca or).

This is a nice little place right on the water. A little over 20 minutes from USNA, it was a convenient spot for our family of four while visiting. It was very clean and its got a great little dock out back that we enjoyed sitting on (while our boys used the included kayak and canoe). Definitely worth considering if you don't need to be really close to downtown!
