Brand New Reno in Historic Dist w 2 Parking spots
We can’t say enough good things about Megan’s place. Our favorite part was how well-appointed the kitchen is, but it’s all great. Very walkable/bikeable city, so you can leave your car behind.

Crab Cakes and Football Historic District
We had the most wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The home was absolutely perfect! Clean, cozy, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. Liz went above and beyond to make our trip special, even decorating for my boyfriend’s birthday and leaving us some sweet treats. It was such a thoughtful touch that really made us feel welcome. The fenced in backyard was a dream for our dog, and we loved how peaceful and private it felt. One of our favorite parts was how easy it was to walk downtown, just a short stroll to all the shops, restaurants, and waterfront. Truly a perfect weekend getaway spot. We would 100% stay here again!

Home away from home
Lena’s place is perfect for a good nights sleep. Clean, cute and comfortable!

Hot Tub Haven: Annapolis Backyard Oasis
Our stay at Justin’s Hot Tub Haven in Annapolis, was exactly that…a haven with a much enjoyed hot tub! Justin was exceedingly responsive, proactive, and flexible. The home is very well appointed with all the necessities, plus all the thoughtful touches like umbrellas, a doggie waste station, and bath robes to name a few. Our children loved the downstairs space (and secretly the adults were thrilled they had it too), and it felt to them like they had their own little apartment. The backyard felt like a small resort. We loved the quick walk to shops and the our boys loved the nearby basketball courts and baseball fields. We highly recommend this home and will stay here again!

Chesapeake Bay Escape | Cozy Retreat
We loved our weekend stay at Melanie’s place!! It was clean, easy to access and a lovely location!! She was super helpful with our questions about the areas and places she recommended. Definitely recommend!!

Luxury Modern Home on Water+Hotub- Annapolis 25min
This house was perfect for our large family. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware for a large group.

Dazzling day/night water views,1st class amemities
Wonderful host—I felt right at home. Had conversation prior to arrival and felt like I knew her very well before arriving. The view was spectacular I could have just sat on the patio and watched the woods and water all day. Was there for a school reunion so I had other activities that I had scheduled. This was by far, the best Air B&B experience I have had. Fantastic host, comfortable, and stunning scenery. I am going to try and revisit soon.

10/10 would recommend Fox Haven to anyone spending time in the area. The property was extremely clean and had high quality amenities.

We’ll be staying here again the next time we’re in the area!

Your guide to Annapolis
All About Annapolis
The capital of Maryland, Annapolis sits on the banks of Chesapeake Bay and is known for its historic neighborhoods and 18th-century Colonial, Georgian, and Victorian homes. With its reputation as the sailing capital of the United States, and home to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis holds several significant historical credentials, including a founding that dates back to 1649. St. John's College, one of the oldest universities in the country, still stands proud on Annapolis soil.
Today, this prosperous East Coast city is known more for its thriving downtown Historic District with boutique shops, galleries, and architectural sites that provide a day of exploration before heading to the Eastport District, where the Annapolis culinary scene emphasizes locally sourced oysters, crabs, and scallops. For nightlife, West Street is where you will find several bars, clubs, and restaurants, many of which regularly host live music on the weekends.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Annapolis
Annapolis experiences drastic weather changes from season to season. The summer months tend to be hot and humid, with moderate precipitation and long pleasant nights. Several festivals occur during the summer days, like a Renaissance fair in a fictional 16th-century village with costumed events, vendors, and medieval-era arts and crafts. Or the weekly Wednesday Night Sailboat Races that take place from May through September.
The winter sees temperatures drop to below freezing with an occasional dusting of snow. However, Annapolis’ warm cafes and cozy street-side restaurants can make brisk days feel quite pleasant. The shoulder seasons are an excellent time to look for vacation rentals in Annapolis, as the spring weather conditions that are temperate also mark the beginning of the sailing season. The fall hosts a brilliant display of autumn hues in the treetops throughout the city with similar weather patterns to that of spring.
Top things to do in Annapolis
Annapolis Maritime Museum
This waterfront museum houses several exhibitions and displays that detail the area's maritime history and the ocean's significance in its economic, social, and cultural developments. Exhibits explain Chesapeake Bay’s unique ecological makeup and how it has impacted the fishing industry over the years. In addition, several art and photography displays highlight the region's social makeup through contributions by local and internationally renowned artists.
Historic London Town
Located just outside of Annapolis in the town of Edgewater, this 23-acre park is a recreation of a lost 18th-century colonial village that would have been common in the area at the time. A carpenter's shop, mayor's tenement, picnic areas, and ten acres of woodland and ornamental gardens are all waiting to be explored in the area. Recreated through a series of archeological discoveries, most of the buildings are full of everyday objects that would have been found and used at the time.
Lake Waterford Park
This 108-acre park is where the locals come to stretch out when the weather is nice. It includes a full lineup of recreational activities, from tennis courts to football fields. Walking trails and hiking paths meander through much of the wooded park, and there’s a 12-acre lake for spotting waterfowl and fishing from the shores.
