We stayed for 4 days and loved it. The cottage was tastefully done and immaculate! A short 5 walk to a private beach was a wonderful bonus. The beds were very comfortable and our hosts Winston and Carolyn were so accommodating. We would definitely go back!

Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway
We stayed here last year for a long weekend and loved it so much we came back for a full week this year! It's the perfect place to relax and de-stress -- quiet neighborhood, beautiful beach, comfortable house, wonderful hosts. We spent all day on the beach with our 4-year-old and enjoyed trying different local restaurants -- recommended by Winston and Carolyn -- in the evenings. This is a dream spot -- we will be back again!

Best Place to Stay!
We have stayed at The Anchors several times when visiting Annapolis and hope you will as well. The home is beautifully and comfortably furnished with all you need. The location is ideal, close to downtown in a beautiful water community ideal for long walks. The hosts are welcoming and really interested in your comfort. We will be back for sure!

Awesome cottage for Annapolis events
The Host was accommodating and easy to deal with on every way. The property easily accommodated 2 couples and literally is just a few steps from the local beach in a quaint and quiet neighborhood. Also an easy 5-10 minute drive to all local events and experiences around downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy.

Great neighborhood
Immaculate little place, loved the neighborhood, quiet diverse with homeowners, family rentals, young people old people ethnicity diverse. The beach for the little community on Chesapeake Bay is small but nice , gated, is open until midnight had plenty of room for family parties, has a small play ground and volleyball owners were in touch but not intrusive, can’t find a single thing to complain about.

Great location, great accommodation, great hosts!
The Anchors was a wonderful accommodation for a mixed business & pleasure 8 day trip to Annapolis. The house was immaculate and very well-appointed all around (kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, linens & blankets, cleaning supplies - everything!). The location is fantastic - a charming, extremely quiet & friendly neighborhood close to downtown Annapolis, DC & Baltimore Airport. Winston and Carolyn are fantastic hosts - extremely attentive and quick to answer questions, as well as kind and friendly. Highly recommend The Anchors for a weekend getaway or week-long visit to the area.

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.

Lovely cottage in the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis
The cottage is charming, stayed there with my 2 sons, age 11 and 17. Charming neighborhood with a private beach access, playground for kids. Winston and Carolyn are lovely, helpful, wish I’d had more time to get to know them! Short 10 min drive to Annapolis. The sunrise there over the water is beautiful. Highly recommend, their place had everything you might need. I could have stayed forever!

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!

What a pleasant stay
I rented this house almost 2 years ago for my mid’s commission week. The Winston couple are the best host of Annapolis I have met in the past 4 years. The house is spotless and has everything we need. We held a postgraduation party and Winston couple helped us to turn it to successful party. What a pleasant stay!! I believe that Winston couple become our friends and we definitely will come back in the future.
