Watch the sunrise on the private beach at Oh Happy Bay. The quaint two-story, cottage has a private beach on historic Bembe Beach with direct access to safe, shallow water for swimming, paddle boarding, and boating (small boat mooring). Commissioning Week families will be spoiled by the direct line of sight for the Blue Angels air show.
The home is ideal for a large extended family traveling together. Enter the home into the beautifully-renovated kitchen with all new appliances and an adjoining dining room with water views and seating for 6-8. The main floor has a guest room with a Queen bed and full bath with a stand-up shower in the hall. The family room is equipped with a Full-size sleeper sofa. Head outside to the private backyard, with a deck, screened-in gazebo, lounge chairs and a picnic table for outdoor dining, cocktails or morning coffee (sampler starter pack included in your stay).
Head back inside and up the stairs to the large family suite with 2 bedrooms, a connecting full bath (with 2 entrances), a sitting room and access to the private 2nd floor balcony. The main bedroom has a King bed and sitting area large enough for a portable crib or air mattress. Across the hall is the guest room with the full bed. The shared bath has 2 vanities, a stand-up shower and soaking tub. Also in the hall is the full-size washer and dryer.
The home has plenty of parking and space to explore with the pups and little family members.
Located on the water of the Chesapeake Bay, at the mouth of the Severn River, the beautifully-landscaped property has incredible panoramic views. Located less than 15 minutes from downtown Annapolis (by boat or car) and equidistant to Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, the home is wonderful for families and friends coming in for that special Naval Academy or boat show event, or looking to take in the sights and sounds of Greater Annapolis. Walking distance to Annapolis Sailing School and Capital SUP (Paddleboard lessons and rentals), the Eastport Water Taxi (with water access to downtown Annapolis). Annapolis Maritime Museum and Quiet Waters Park are just a short drive away.
