Clean and comfortable
This property was awesome. The house was so clean and well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed. The appliances are new and not a thing was out of place. They even had a dog bed and supplies for our dog. The owners were very accessible and reached out to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighbors were very friendly and it is a really special place. We will seek this place out if we ever return to Shady Side.

Comfortable home for small family group
The home was well appointed with basic amenities provided. It was clean. We were 4 adults and 2 12 yr olds. It is a bit small for that many to spend any more than short periods of time. The kitchen was a bit small for preparing anything other than basic meals. The owners did respond to questions and concerns. The well water was a distraction and although bottled water was provided it was still an inconvenience not being able to use the tap water. The location was convenient to Annapolis and Crofton and DC, areas we needed to get to.

Comfy home
Met up with a friend from college and had a great visit for a few days. House was comfortable and clean. Mary & Chris were very responsive as well. We enjoyed sitting outside in the back yard and letting the dog explore and enjoy being off leash. Quiet neighborhood and beautiful area. Short drive into Annapolis as well. There were really only 2 downsides 1 - the water and the sulphur smell really made it hard to shower or wash dishes but that’s nothing that can be changed and we dealt with it 2 - the curtains don’t block out the street lights or the very early morning sun Overall we had a great stay and would definitely consider staying here again if we visit the area!

Shady Side Stay
We had a great time in Shady Side relaxing, taking a boat ride and playing on jet skis. We even found a really great ice cream shop right by the house. The house was clean and comfortable. The only downside was the water was not potable and very sandy. The owners did provide a water cooler which was definitely needed. Shady Side is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

Shady Side getaway
Spent four nights at this house near the bay with my husband and our poodle. We loved the proximity to several waterfront restaurants and Annapolis. Had an incredible dinner at Jesse Jay’s Latin Kitchen! The house is cute and the owners provided lots of supplies like beach towels, coffee and paper products which are often NOT provided by other properties. The windows treatments do not keep out the bright street light from the bedroom. The yard needs a lot of work and the photos looked like there was a secure six foot fence around the yard. In reality one section of the fence is low and open picket type. This wouldn’t be a problem for everyone, but we wanted to have a chance to play with our dog off leash (we don’t have a fenced yard at home).

Family Weekend
We had a lovely stay. The house was cozy and comfortable. The bikes were perfect for exploring the neighborhood and we loved walking to the dock to fish and kayak. Our two dogs joined us and they had a wonderful time as well. The yard was perfect for them to romp around and have a wonderful time. It was a wonderful weekend.

Perfect DC escape!
The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable; even has a cute basket for doggie essentials. Have to find that muddy paw cup for our pup now. Mary and Chris were very responsive and helpful. Everything's there for a wonderful stay. We took the provided paddles and vests just down the street and enjoyed a trip out into the river with the double kayak. Even the downpour didn't diminish the fun of our paddle. The firepit was perfect for s'mores and my teens enjoyed the arcade street fighter game in the shed. It is a friendly neighborhood to take a walk with your dog too. We were only there for 2 nights but felt much longer. We enjoyed dinner outside at Pirate's Cove, watched movies at the house and played a board game. All this and only 1 hour from DC! Thank you for sharing your home with us! *Oh, and my husband who can never find spicy enough food says the Spicy Chicken sandwich at Royal Farms (Convenience/Gas Station coming into town) is spicy, so beware.

Great Family Retreat
This was a great property for a young family to stay at, with quick access to the bay. Annapolis is very close by, with a lot of restaurants and other locations to visit. The neighborhood was very nice, with friendly neighbors on each side. Everything was very bright outside at night too, with a lot of street lights. (If you have little ones, consider bringing portable black out screens for some windows.) The house was clean and comfortable, with a backyard and game room that teens would likely love. The owners were great and very easy to get a hold of. They were quick to respond and help out. Highly recommended!
