West River Waterfront Escape with Boat Lift, Kayaks & Bay Views

We had a lovely stay over Christmas. The host provided everything we could need from board games to laundry detergent and plenty of cookware, even coffee. They were very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay again.

Great home with lots of room.

Great house and a boaters dream with a wonderful view on top of it all! House is clean and sizeable. Many amenities are included so you don't have to bring much even though we did! :-) Nice bulkheaded lot with good dock and boat lift. There is a community boat ramp 4 doors down and we put our 21' boat and jetskis in there no problem. We brought 4 kayaks to go along with the 3 they have. They also had a couple bikes to enjoy. Quick access to the Chesapeake and fun local dock and dine restaurants and bars. Good tennis courts near by at Shady Side park. Close by boat to Annapolis, the multiple rivers and even up to Sandy Point state park. You will not run out of things to do nearby. As far as the house, we had use of the 1 car garage and enough parking for our 3 cars and trailers. Showers were good with plenty of hot water. Washer and dryer are newer and were put to good use. Yard is fenced in and our dogs had the freedom to move about. The back enclosed porch had nice views and we ate most all meals at the long table. Smart TV's kept me entertained for the 5 minutes before I fell unconscious from the days activities :-) Grill was available for use as well and worked nicely. A fire pit would be a nice addition...we brought our own. as well as patio blocks, 1/2 cord of wood, and chairs but the fun we had at night enjoying the view, listening to music and toasting marshmallows was well worth the effort. It was a great family bonding time. Shady Side is a great spot to vacation.

The views from the primary bedroom, enclosed porch (with outdoor dining for 8 and great room were beautiful!Kitchen was large and well equipped. Neighbors were friendly.Close to Annapolis.Would return in the future.

We were expecting the usual rental accommodations so were blown away by the homes newly renovated open floor plan, spectacular waterfront view and central location to DC, Annapolis and Alexandria. We had a magnificent time.e bedrond LRs

We arrived after a 17 hour travel nightmare from the mountains of Colorado. Had a two year old and four year old in tow who were very cranky from the journey. We needed the house to be just right and it overperformed in every way. The view is amazing, the house is very clean, everything worked and was well organized. We had some family down from Annapolis and everyone was so impressed. Couldn’t have had a better time. Look forward to visiting again in the future. Very cool neighborhood and a gem of a house.

Very nice getaway for a family reunion group of 8 while we visited our son at the USNA. Location is 35 min from US Naval academy; perfect to feel like he's really getting off the Yard. Having such a huge yard really offered lots to do (corn hole, frisbee, etc.). The incredible water views drew us all back home every night, along with the gorgeous sunsets. Had really nice weather so we took advantage of the 3 kayaks and paddled around the marina. Bikes were convenient too, as well as small playground 2 houses down. Dock is large, sturdy and fun to fish off of, although we didn't catch anything. House is spacious, clean, roomy and well decorated. Appreciated the info binder which gave great restaurant recommendations. 10 min drive to large grocery store, 5 min to beer & ice store. Neighborhood is family oriented and very quiet. We really felt we were getting away from it all and living the water life. Thank you!

Thrilled to stay here with my family. We all enjoyed this waterfront home together and we will cherish the memory. I would like to thank the host for making it all possible.

The property manager was great at answering questions and offered prompt & courteous assistance. The house was exactly as described, and we really appreciated the toys & books for young children. We enjoyed the dock - we fed the fish with the worms on our hooks! Didn't catch any fish but had fun. The nearby swim area and playground was a 2 minute walk for the kids. We are already talking about coming back!

The house and property are beautiful. We brought our boat with us and made trips to Annapolis and Kent Narrows. If you’re looking for a place that is quiet, has great views, but is centrally located, then consider this as homebase.
