(August, 2025) Jim is the best host we’ve ever had. Super responsive, reached out to let us know the place was ready and we could check in early. The house is perfect size for 2 adults and a kid. Beautiful view and really comfortable. We loved the screened in porch. We walked to breakfast at the smoothie place and had a great walk down to the naval academy. We would definitely stay here again.

Groceries: Grauls, on Taylor Avenue. Go out to Ridgely Avenue, turn Right. Go about 3 blocks and Grauls is in the strip mall on the right. 8 minute walk. Liquor, Beer, Wine: In the Walgreens, of all places! Same strip mall as Grauls. In the back left hand corner inside the Walgreens. Good selection of everything. Even shorter walk to Chessie's Wharf, for an amazing selection of RAR Brewing's finest drafts! Local places to eat and drink – all within 5 minute walk - turn right at the bottom of our street, on Ridgely Avenue: Bakery: Great Harvest baking – on Ridgely Avenue just a couple of hundred yards up on the left, just beyond the gas station. Go-to favorite: Mocha Scones Coffee Shop: Bean Rush Café - Annapolis St. (the next street over, take a left off Ridgely on Monterey, then right on Annapolis St. Breakfast: Evelyn’s- Annapolis St. Dinner: In Grano, "Drawing inspiration from Italy, Japan, Spain, Greece, and beyond, In Grano’s menu promises an elevated, global dining experience."
