Perfect house in a perfect location! We drove from Long Island to visit friends in Severn on our way to NC. This house is perfectly situated on a quiet block across from a creek with beach access via a 5 min walk down the block. We met Winston and Carolyn and they were lovely! We look forward to staying at this house again the next time we visit our MD friends! Winston and Carolyn, thank you for making your home feel like our home! Especially with a 4 year old and 2.5 year old! See you soon :) —barely have pics because we were too busy having fun!!

Cozy cottage

My BFF and I very much enjoyed our four day stay at the anchors cozy cottage. The queen bed super soft and comfortable, was told the full size bed was a little firmer, but still just as good, cozy sheets, and bedding.Rain showerhead made the shower luxurious I felt very spoiled!TVs with streaming services in each room if you choose to use them.Excellent location you can see the water through the front of the house and it’s just a minute walk down the nice quiet road. Lots of people walking their dogs and bike riders.Private beach for the residence.The owners were very accommodating and answered any questions very quickly.I give this an A rating and would definitely stay again if back in the Annapolis area.

Perfect

I would definitely recommend this cottage! I was very impressed with cleanliness of this home. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. We booked this home to attend my son’s graduation from the US Naval Academy. It was the perfect distance from the stadium. The beach was very relaxing and private. We hated to leave.

Immaculate and Comfortable Cottage By the Beach

We have stayed in many VRBO properties around the country and "The Anchors" is by far the most pleasant experience we have ever had. The cottage is immaculately clean, thoughtfully fitted out, and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of hot water-these are the most important things we look for in a rental property. The rainfall shower is a pleasant touch! The owners, Carolyn and Winston, are tremendously gracious and accommodating. They made us feel very much at home in this jewel of a cottage! The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxed- you can actually feel your blood pressure go down as you arrive in this laid back community! Cannot wait to return!

This beautiful cozy little cottage is nestled in a delightful quiet private beach community. The Anchors (owners) are super friendly, attentive and quick to respond to you if you have any questions. Our family of 4 from Katy, Texas, stayed there for 1 week to celebrate our son’s commissioning week and graduation from the US Naval Academy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at their cottage. Grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies, etc. are just minutes away. I highly recommend this beautiful cottage for any couple or small family that wishes to get away, unwind and enjoy the tranquility of a private beach community in beautiful Annapolis, Maryland.
