Chesapeake Bay retreat

We enjoyed this lovely home and setting along the Chesapeake Bay / South River. Well equipped home with a beautiful yard, and views of the Bay. Quiet neighborhood, yet accessible to Quiet Waters Park, historic Annapolis, and Sandy Point State Park.

Family celebration

Such a stunning property with a beautiful view. The landscaping and dwellings were perfect for our family. We appreciate the history of the home. It had everything this family needed and I would rent it again. The location to downtown and necessary stores were also perfect. Quiet and Elegant.

Sunset Serenity - Superb!

Our stay at Sunset Serenity was magical. Our two families, young and old alike, loved the property. While the parents enjoyed the sunset, the kids were able to master kayaking in a safe and fun environment. The proximity to the city made it a perfect location for a getaway. As frequent VRBO families, this is by far our favorite spot. We look forward to returning again.

Amazing stay

We were looking for a house, large enough to accommodate a small gathering for my father’s 90th birthday. This was the perfect place. The views were gorgeous. The house had the perfect flow. We were all able to gather and mingle without being cut off from one another. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. We can’t say enough good things about this place. Management was excellent and responsive. They were very helpful. They are the best management company we’ve ever dealt with renting homes.

College Reunion

The property was absolutely perfect. The views alone made it perfect with sunsets that take your breath away. Plenty of space for our group. Well appointed throughout, especially the kitchen. Sean at iTrip was very quick to respond to any question. Very easy to work with.

Beautiful Lakeside Escape

Loved staying at Sunset Serenity, the house is large and beautiful, comfortable and has great kitchen and all the comforts a family needs. From the little ones to the teens everyone loved the time spent here. The only thing is distance, make su to have transportation and watch out for deers at night when driving. But overall 5/5.

A special, special place

BEAUTIFUL setting, lovely house... it was really perfect for a family get-together for my dad's birthday. The property has a big property, for running around or hanging out. You're right on the water, which means beautiful sunsets. You're a short drive from town. The great room is a perfect place for hanging. One small gripe: they could better stock the kitchen, but still plenty of stuff available for cooking. And the management team is responsive and helpful. We're already planning our trip back. It's a great, great place.

Perfect Off-Site getaway

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Our stay was a bit unusual. We were a group of 7 women who needed to spend a day in a comfortable location AWAY FROM THE OFFICE where we could share, brainstorm and work on our Business Plan for the coming year. "Sunset Serenity" was the PERFECT location. As we are all Realtors, the location location location of the property as well as the inviting, comfortable furnishings , as well as plenty of seating, really made this home ideal. We ALL remarked how we didn't want to leave. In fact, I was the last to leave, bc I just wanted 20 minutes to sit on the porch, look at the water and just breathe! What a wonderful spot!

Spectacular location

Gorgeous neighborhood and a very cool house. The view is amazing and the sunsets were incredible. The house could have been cleaner, there were stains on some of the furniture, and the kitchen was a mess -- we had to wash every pot or pan before using it and the cabinets above the stove were grimy. There was only 1 dish towel in the house. Most of the towels and sheets were pretty old and threadbare and needed to be replaced. Overall very good but not 5 star which is what they are striving for,

Just lovely!

The home is charming, with one of our family members describing it as farmhousy-glam. It was a wonderful fit for our party of 10. The teens particularly loved the upstairs loft area, and we all couldn't get enough of the gorgeous views, beautiful sunsets, and ample room to relax with a book or have a casual meal outside. We took full advantage of the kayaks on property, which are a special option the home provides. Our only recommendation would be adding a lock to the main bathroom,as we needed to devise our own system to ensure privacy. Thank you so much! We will definitely be looking to come again!

The location was great, convenient to Annapolis & the surrounding area. It was the perfect gathering place for family to celebrate my birthday. The water view was spectacular as we sat outside having morning coffee or gathered for an afternoon drink. It was a great place to welcome my family to Annapolis as we enjoyed the serenity of the home.
