Bright clean beach house in a nice family-friendly and pet-friendly neighborhood. We really appreciated the large fenced-in backyard and being supplied with bottled water and the thoughtful dog basket. The beach house was perfect for two couples. The driving distance between the house and dining & entertainment options was comfortable. We appreciated the messages from our hosts - perfect mix of information and frequency. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beach house!

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.

Great little house! The fenced in yard for pets is absolutely perfect. Fully stocked kitchen, plenty of supplies like paper towels, soap, TP, even condiments and coffee filters. There's a grocery store down the street, and Annapolis is about 30 minutes away. People may have issues with the water, but the owners provide a fancy bubbler so you're more than covered. Neighborhood seems nice and access to the bay is a short stroll down the street. We had a great visit. Thanks Mary and Chris!

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!

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!

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.

This property was in a central location to lots of places. I did think there was going to be a larger beach that you could go to within the community, however it was a very enjoyable stay. The hostess was sweet and the house is adorable.

This is a great home base for exploring the Chesapeake Bay Area. In all the rentals we’ve ever stayed at, this one was the most generous in stocking supplies for us to use and they were also the most welcoming to our dog. We’d love to visit again during warmer weather so we can enjoy that beautiful backyard.
Sadly this was our only day of sunshine as we arrived. Would have loved to grill and eat outside.
Our winter visit included snow. It still was lovely to be in a cozy space together.

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.
