2 night weekend trip with the family to check out USNA. House was perfect for us and the kids. Grill and back porch were perfect for grilling and meals. Check in and out was super easy, and comms with owner were great. Highly recommended for any family looking for a quiet, easy getaway to Annapolis, but away from the downtown bustle.
We loved the clean, comfortable property in this quiet neighborhood. The house was well stocked and within walking distance to the neighborhood beach and park. It’s a short drive to Annapolis, but there are also restaurants and a grocery store nearby which were great options on a busy holiday weekend. Sharon was easy to communicate with and proactive in reaching out to us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.
This is our 4th stay. We love the value, location, and water accessibility. This is an easy, short drive to USNA, which is what brings us to the area. We just commissioned our last child, and sadly won’t be back (most likely), but will 200 pct recommend Sharon’s Bach cottage to anyone looking for a quaint place to stay.
The outdoor space is a bonus, and sitting beachside in the evening to relax after a long day is one of our favorite things to do.
10 out of 10!!
Such a great wee get away spot not too far from Dunedin city. 2min walk to the beach and it is beautiful even on a miserable day. Has everything you could need for a week away with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Fire heats the whole house but there are also lots of other heating options. Friendly hosts and the property was clean and tidy and well looked after. Looking forward to our next trip already!
This home exceeded our expectations! It's very well maintained, nicely decorated, and had several very nice features. We loved spending time on the screened in porch and appreciated the outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. It's within easy walking distance of the beach and in a quiet community. The host is an excellent communicator and very responsive. Great experience all around for our family!
We needed a place to stay in our neighborhood while we were moving out of our house. Sharon's place was a terrific refuge from the packing/moving craziness. Communication was great; Sharon worked with us to make our stay everything we needed it to be. The house was clean and had all the kitchen tools and other amenities that made family living possible.

Perfect location for USNA events!
This house is in such a beautiful location! We loved that we were a quick 10-15 minute drive to USNA but while we were at the house, our Plebe could just relax and feel like we were far away! :) Short walk to a local park with beach access. Park had a playground that the kids enjoyed! Sharon was easy and pleasant to work with and she allowed us to pay extra and have a late check out which was wonderful! Also, having washing/dryer in the house is super useful!
My husband has allergies to some pets, the previous occupants or owner has some animal (s) in the home before us which gave the back rooms in the house a smell and caused his allergies to act up pretty bad. Great little grocery store is a mile away, so we made a quick trip to pick up some meds and he was ok. Also, be sure to note...all linens (towels, sheets, ect) have to be washed and dried and put away prior to check out!!! If we didn't have a late check out, that would have been a huge issue since we didn't realize that until later on check out day...so just be aware of that!
Overall, great place and I'd highly recommend it!
We were here for Parent’s Weekend at the USNA. This was a great place to stay and relax. Very comfortable and clean and the house has everything you need. We enjoyed a family meal on the beautiful porch and time at the beach. Groceries, coffee, pizza and ice cream were only five minutes away. The host was fantastic. We will be back.
We stayed here for I day at the Academy. Sharon was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the screened in porch, coffe in the mornings out there were fabulous!
We first found this little gem 4 yrs ago, bringing our son to the Naval Academy. And booked it for the 2nd time this week for his Graduation. We have also requested another weeks stay in the future.
We love the location! And private beach. Our favorite spot is the screened in porch….making additional living space in the outdoors. The ceiling fans make it most comfortable.
Feels like home on the Bay.
The property was very acceptable. It was dated, but in great condition and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. We agreed that we would gladly go back to this property if we were going to stay in the area again.
Sharon keeps this home impeccably clean and well appointed! There was nothing that we needed for our comfort that was not provided. The screened-in back patio was spacious and inviting. The twinkle lights gave it a magical glow at night. The living room was comfortable for us to spend time together as a family. We have this property on our list of favorites, and we can’t wait to come back!
Beautiful home with plenty of sleeping space, 2 bathrooms, and wonderful large screened porch with a gardens to enjoy and spend time with family. Beach just a block away and a nice grocery store also close. The house was spotless and the owner very accessible and helpful with check in and out. Will definitely try and go here again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay very much. The screened porch is amazing, and we spent many hours out there. A nearby shopping area provides you with all necessities. The neighborhood is quiet and charming, and Annapolis is a short car ride away. Sharon, the host, is very friendly, kind, helpful and responsive. We highly recommend her place
