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.

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.

WOW!

What a spot to take a break. We ended up here after the "wash out" of another accommodation. The location is delightful & the house charming, more than we could have wished for. Thank you Cathy for your effort in saving the the annual venture of four ladies in their eighties.

My friends and I had a great time at the house, which had everything we'd hoped for: a great outdoor space, a super functional kitchen, a comfortable living room and even really comfortable beds.

Breathtaking views and gorgeous home!

The sunset views from this gorgeous house are stunning! The setting is like a fairytale, with amazing water views and magical gardens. And the layout of the house is so inviting. And it’s all so close to downtown Annapolis! I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

Quick Annapolis Visit

What a gorgeous space!! Beautiful and clean inside. The neighborhood was quiet and very nice... not too far from the Great Frogs Winery. Getting to sit in the outside space and watch the sunset and kayak a little bit w the kids was such a fun and relaxing time. We're looking forward to staying again when we're in the area.

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.

Peace and Serenity

This property is warm and inviting from the minute you arrive. It has everything you need for your stay. Large open space for family and beautiful country charm. The sunsets are a gift from God!!! The nature is also amazing. Another treat is the Green Frog Winery a short walk from the home.

Beautiful, relaxing home

We had the most amazing time staying at this wonderful property. Despite poor weather all weekend, the views of the water from the living/dining areas were spectacular, and the accommodations very comfortable. The home is beautiful, with a great balance of historic charm and modern comfort. We divided our time between the house and taking advantage of Annapolis and the surrounding area. A perfect weekend getaway for our group of friends.

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.

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,

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!

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.

What a wonderful weekend with friends in this charming home. We could have just sat on the patio all weekend relaxing and enjoying the spectacular views. Easy ride into Downtown Annapolis, make sure to visit Great Frogs Winery just down the road and take a walk in this lovely neighborhood. It doesn’t get much better than this!

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.
