Directly Across from Gate One & Steps from the Waterfront

Vacations are meant to be carefree! Let the chimes from the Naval Academy chapel start your day. Stroll along our famed waterfront or sit at City Dock and imagine what Annapolis must have been like during the 1700's, when the City was a bustling seaport with vessels arriving from all over the world. Or, watch sailboat races in the harbor and understand why Annapolis is called, America's Sailing Capital.

This historic home was built in 1908 and has been fully renovated & perfectly equipped for your stay.

Located in the heart of downtown Annapolis, 10 Randall is conveniently located, granting instant access to the Main Gate of The US Naval Academy, the Annapolis Harbor, local restaurants and bars, boat cruises, and a variety of specialty shops ~ Making this location ideal for wedding parties, Navy parents and Alumni, sailors, and weekend travelers.

For those seeking a break away from the hustle and bustle, a private courtyard provides the perfect setting for intimate dining or catching up on a good book.

Professionally cleaned and beautifully maintained, this home sleeps eight (8) comfortably in two queen beds, one convertible full bed, and one sectional/sleeper (queen) in the living room.

Parking is provided for one vehicle (up to a mid-sized SUV). If your vehicle is larger or additional cars need to park, it may be possible to provide parking at an additional cost. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Both the home and Annapolis have something special to offer...all year long. This home is ideal for Naval Academy events, family gatherings, wedding parties, 'girls weekends', graduations, boat shows and regattas! Use the link below to view upcoming events sponsored by the Historic Annapolis Foundation...it will help you take advantage of all the incredible events that Annapolis has to offer during your stay: http://www.annapolis.org/index.asp?pageid=112

Cute cottage in a great location
While the cottage may have some of the historic/ older quirks, it is a wonderful (and beautiful ) property that we would highly recommend! We loved the walk-ability to downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy. Despite its close location, it’s quiet at night lending to a good nights sleep 😊. The owner provided us some great insight on the location as well.

Great location for visiting USNA
We had a great stay at 10 Randall!! It was the perfect location for us to bring our Mid's grandparents to experience USNA and downtown Annapolis! Each morning it was great for whoever wanted to walk to town grab a coffee and head to the marine to watch the boats! The location is perfect, the ammenities are great and John was responsive with any questions or concerns! Thank you for a great stay in Annapolis!

Weekend visit to see our midshipman. The location is directly across the street from gate 1. Garage parking was a plus. Host was very clear on the dimensions on the garage. Our minivan fit in the garage but just barely. Will be staying there again!

Perfect location!
We had a wedding at USNA and this house was perfect! Steps away from gate 1 and all of the bars and restaurants DTA has to offer. The house was spacious enough for four adults and two kids. It was a hot weekend and it was so nice to be close to everything. We enjoyed having a parking spot as well. The host was helpful and communicative. We would stay here again!

Perfect location - Naval Academy and Downtown Annapolis
Extremely clean and well maintained. Directly across Gate 1 of the Naval Academy. Grads and families - you can't get any closer without staying in Bancroft Hall. Easy walk to downtown. Plenty of room for family of 5 with three teenagers - everything you need is there including a parking space. Host is excellent communicator. You can stop searching - this is your place. Highly recommend.

Perfect location
Can’t say enough about how perfect the location is. For a historic home, everything works perfectly. It was a hot, humid June weekend but air conditioning worked beautifully and it was an oasis of comfort when we returned from being out. Plenty of hot water and great water pressure. Furniture (including beds) comfortable and functional. The garage was so convenient and our Honda CRV fit easily. We would definately stay again. One “watch out”. If anyone in your party has mobility issues, you probably don’t want to choose this property. Stairs to second floor are narrow and it would be very difficult to help someone up and down. Wasn’t an issue for us

This house is perfect for stayiing in the historic distict of Annapolis. Very comfortable and clean. One and one half baths, a private patio, and the best part is the off street parking with a private garage; very hard to find in this beautiful area. John, the manager was so helpful and answered all my questions. If ever in Annapolis again, we will definately stay here.

We came for a retirement and it was perfect for what we needed. The beds were comfy! Our younger kids slept on the pull out and futon type so they were fine for them. Plenty of kitchen items were available. The location was sooo key! The garage spot was a super added bonus!!!
