Family Get-away-Weekend at Bay Cottage.

Stayed at Bay cottage to celebrate my bday with my children and grandchildren. It was a quick trip staying in a beautiful house and neighborhood. The furniture was comfortable with TVs in every room, comfortable beds and a well-stocked kitchen. Everything we needed from morning coffee to making breakfast, lunches and dinner was available, so leave all that home and enjoy your stay. We especially loved the front porch watching the sunrise and walks in the beautiful quiet neighborhood. I would recommend staying at Bay Cottage.

Great accommodation!

Beautiful house that overlooks the water. Very quiet and friendly neighborhood and pet friendly. No issues during our stay and if my family and I were to come to Annapolis again I will definitely be looking here first!

Girls Family Reunion

The house is in a perfect location for exploring Annapolis and enjoying the Bay. It is bright, cheery, the decor is lovely. The kitchen well appointed. Even the knives were sharp. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay there again.

Quiet spot with a nice bay view

This property was very nice and I loved being able to hear the water outside :) We could see the Bay Bridge, cruise ships, and other boats all day so it was very relaxing. The Quiet Waters Park was also very nice and closeby.

Great stay!

My family loved our visit to the Bay Cottage. It is such a beautiful, well-designed home. We loved the screened in porch and the beautiful view of the bay. The iTrip Annapolis team was very responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Loved our Bay Cottage

Was sad to leave our Bay Cottage this morning. Lovely spot. Peaceful. Clean house. Dogs loved the yard and we loved that it was fenced in so we could all relax together in between our busy schedule. Convenient location. Close to town and near services but felt remote. Loved being close to the water. Thanks for everything!

Comfortable Stay in Annapolis

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids stayed at the cottage for an extended time in Annapolis. The home was comfortable and suited our needs well. The location was a convenient drive to the Naval Academy and the 3-season porch was ideal for working from home.

Naval Academy Plebe Parents’ Weekend

We had a lovely time at Bay Cottage. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The view of the bay is beautiful. We plan on returning throughout our son’s four year commitment at the Naval Academy.

My Delightful Birthday Weekend

We had an absolutely delightful time during our stay. I was particularly delighted by how close the water was, and by the nature trails sprinkled throughout the community. We were also happily surprised with the kitchen supplies as we like to cook during our vacation. The proximity to excellent restaurants was wonderful. Truly an unforgettable experience!

Great spot!

We had a great time at the Bay Cottage. The property was very clean and nicely decorated. The beds (including the pull out sofa) were very comfortable and the view is breathtaking! Lots of wildlife strolling by, including deer and foxes. The kitchen had all we needed to feel at home and the location was perfect. Peaceful, quiet and friendly neighborhood. I will definitely book this spot again the next time I am in Annapolis.

Great water view; very clean and comfortable

The house has a great water view. The property was very clean. The kitchen had all the necessary cooking utensils and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the private neighborhood beach. The property manager and owner were very responsive while we were there. There was an issue with the electronic lock on the door during our stay and the property manager was very responsive and was able to get in touch with the owner to remedy the situation as best as possible which we appreciated very much.

Nice house but inaccurate description

House overall is fine. We booked because it advertised a hot tub. Upon arrival no hot tub, owner said never had a hot tub and a VRBO glitch they are aware of. Sent them screenshot of our reservation that showed hot tub and they said contact VRBO. Contacted VRBO and they said they would look into it. Never heard back. Using another service from now on.

Lovely views/ Beautiful home!

We stayed here for the weekend for a girls getaway. Views LOVELY. Could have seen from the house but walked down a few feet from the home to watch the sunrise and was picture perfect. Home is very nicely furnished/ decorated. We had everything we needed for the weekend - was a huge help to have starter supplies for the kitchen and bathroom. Management was very supportive and responsive. It's a quiet residential neighborhood. There's a very small community beach in walking distance. The beds were comfortable. The sofa bed and day bed would be fine for kids, maybe not adults.

Peaceful Bay View

Lovely home with gorgeous view of the bay. We spent a lot of time on the front porch with lovely screens. Neighborhood is really quiet and in peaceful residential area. A few restaurants and grocery stores about 10-15 min away, but you’re really coming for the quiet and the views. 2nd bathroom is pretty tiny and is nested in the room with the queen bed. We made this our master. The twin/trundle was too creaky and small for our two teens, but they bunked in the other bedroom and shared the king - no problem. Lovely welcome gift and startup toiletries, paper products, and coffee. We had everything we needed!

Perfect getaway for 5

We brought our daughter who is in a wheelchair and a few friends for a weekend getaway and the house was accessible, the neighborhood was lovely, and the view is breathtaking. Seriously, the photos do not do the view justice. So many great places, too--indoor porch, outdoor seating, to take in the view. An fyi for accessibility--the ramp may be a bit steep for manual wheelchairs and there are a few door lips and heavy doors, but the setup worked great for us, especially the day bed for our daughter. The kitchen is actually really well stocked in terms of pots, pans, and utensils. Plan to bring staple pantry items that you might need and do not under any circumstances get takeout from Pit Boys. Would highly recommend this place as it was so clean and comfortable and the property managers were great!

Girls’ Long Weekend Reunion

We all really enjoyed our stay at Arundel on the Bay. The home is cute and very nicely furnished as a beach house. The beds, linens and towels are clean and comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped and the bathrooms are well appointed and large enough. The neighborhood is quiet, scenic and lovely. Good proximity to kayaking, SUP etc at Ellen Moyer Park as well as Annapolis for the waterfront, history, shopping and some great food. There are a few things that could be improved, though I would certainly come back and do recommend this property. 1- From the moment we arrived there were more than a few little black ants in the dining room and kitchen that persisted for the duration of our stay. We looked for ant traps and did not find any. There seemed to be many on the front porch step area as well. Maybe weather related? **Our visit was quite brief so we did not complain to management -I have no doubt that they would have been responsive had we done so. TIP: Store any and all open food in the fridge! The ants didn’t bite so we were just careful with open food containers, crumbs and good kitchen clean up. 2- The 2 kayaks were pretty inaccessible. No idea how we would have gotten those heavy kayaks from way back behind the house to the waterfront. Some explanation would have been great. Also exactly where to launch. Some areas are “public” for the neighborhood association members but many waterfront areas are private. We did not have any badges or “guests of” IDs so did not know whether we could access the nearest gated beach. The farther one at the other end/tip seemed ok for us to access. The pier seemed to have a gate code which we did not have. 3- The fees are excessive: the 2 separate “processing fees” and others added up to A LOT for a 4 night stay! Local taxes etc are one thing, but these extra fees was truly excessive. * This may be a VRBO issue and not individual property owner/manager issue. I do not know. Overall a great location, lovely comfy home, really fun stay. Brief long weekend visit, enjoyed Annapolis and the neighborhood and were busy and outdoors enough that these issues did not detract from our stay. We would love to come back!

Great home

We had an amazing vacation at Bay Cottage! The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped for our needs. We loved the waterfront access and that we got to bring our golden doodle. This house is next to a pretty trail that winds through the neighborhood and we found a few community spaces to explore. The porch and the outdoor sitting area with BBQ were a highlight of the property. iTrip was great to work with and they were responsive to questions. Thank you!
