Waterfront, dog-friendly home with private dock, kayaks, firepit & amazing yard

The Pearl of Oyster Harbor

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Whether it's relaxation or activity you seek, you'll find it all in the gorgeous waterfront setting of The Pearl of Oyster Harbor. This is a stunning place for boating and swimming from the private dock, playing yard games at the water's edge, and gathering around the firepit for s'mores and stories once the sun goes down.

This peaceful, two-story home boasts an expansive piece of property in Oyster Harbor, a private community on the Annapolis Neck Peninsula along an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. The flat, beautiful lawn stretches all the way to the dock, where you're welcome to tie up your boat, launch one of the kayaks (two adult, one youth), or take out the inflatable paddleboard. (The bay can be shallow and tricky in parts; please familiarize yourself with the water before you navigate a boat.)

When you're not strolling less than half a mile to Oyster Harbor Private Beach, make a day of it in the backyard by playing cornhole, yard toss, or Slip-N-Slide. Light the gas grill for a lunchtime barbecue, dine in the coastal breeze on the deck or at the picnic table, and linger all afternoon in the hammock while watching passing boats, birds, and marine life.

Built in 1960 and thoughtfully renovated in the years since, this unique cottage maintains much of its original character while offering modern touches at every turn. Large picture windows and rear glass doors frame the harbor - a lovely view you can take in as you cook in the sleek kitchen, make plans over breakfast each morning, and play board games and cards in the sunroom. In the evenings, enjoy an inviting living room with a smart TV and gas fireplace, three cozy bedrooms, and a sleeping loft. The small desk in the bunk room has a WiFi printer, making it perfect for remote work.

Long Weekend in Annapolis
Our stay in Oyster Harbor was very nice. The weather didn't cooperate but the house itself was very nice and I would certainly stay there again. It's about a 10 minute drive to downtown Annapolis so that made it convenient as well!

Great location and really nice place. The only problem that I had was that there weren’t any toiletries or standard amenities. No toilet paper, or soap.

Nice house, great location.
We had a wonderful, restful stay at The Pearl. The house is comfortable, the yard is great for dogs, and the views are beautiful and relaxing. Some additional amenities include spices and condiments, lots of utensils, and nice parks nearby.
