The Perfect Place to Stay

The Crow’s Nest was amazing! We stayed there with a group of friends while in town for a wedding, and it was the perfect location, very clean, and an amazing place to hang out and relax while getting ready for and relaxing after the festivities. The Bay is beautiful and the house is amazing - would stay again 10 times out of 10!

Great location for a big family gathering

I rented Paul's home to host my extended family the week of my son's Labor Day weekend wedding in Annapolis. We are all cooks and took advantage of the home's well-stocked kitchen to host a family dinner on Friday night and a post-wedding brunch for 50+ on Monday morning. With five bedrooms and 8 bunks, everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, and the washer/dryer made it easy to keep up with laundry. Unfortunately we were too busy to take advantage of the kayaks or the beach. The home's location is super-convenient for enjoying all of the charms of Annapolis, and Paul was quick to respond to any questions we had. My only suggestion is that, if you are hosting large groups for meals, bring a couple of big platters or serving bowls. Otherwise there's more than enough china/glasses/cutlery for big parties, and adequate cookware. We are thinking about renting the home again so we can just enjoy Annapolis on a more leisurely schedule!

Delegate Kevin Hornberger

We rented this property during the legislative session in Annapolis. It quickly became our home away from home. The water views were amazing and enjoyed the sun rise veiws. Bring your swim trunks because the hot tub is always ready for a dip!

Great for Family Reunion

The house and grounds were excellent for our large family reunion! We had 10 adults and 9 small children, and the space fit us well. Great accommodations, and very convenient to lots of activities. The yard is wonderful for hanging out. Highly recommend!
