This review is directed toward a certain kind of renter: You have a kid at the Naval Academy and want a secluded spot with lots of space to hive away your midshipman for rest and relaxation. For that, nothing beats River Breezes. We wondered if it might be too far away from The Yard. It’s not. By car, a quick 15 minute trip down Route 2 to Annapolis. By bike, even better: a 35-minute cruise down the glorious B&A Trail. The grounds and the house and the dock and the Magothy River unfold before you in quick succession after you park. The air conditioning chills the interior, beautifully and comfortably furnished, with great lighting and technology. The exterior affords an awesome view of the sunrise, best appreciated sitting with a friend or a dog, or both, with a complimentary Keurig coffee at the end of the dock. Evenings are perfect for barbecuing, made better by a humble looking gas grill that, in actual fact, is the hottest cooking unit I’ve ever used. A real toaster! Nighttime lulls you to sleep in River Breezes with soft, comfortable beds, seemingly everywhere. One extra amenity we used that we’d recommend highly. That gorgeous dock and boat lift aren’t just for show: we rented a 23-foot Carolina Skiff through Boatsetter. The owner delivered it to the dock for our stay and we used it constantly, tubing for hours and cruising to the edge of Chesapeake Bay. We would have journeyed on to Annapolis but, alas, River Breezes beckoned us back for cocktail hour.

The property was beautiful! Private with lots of space to accommodate multiple families. We had a lovely time!

We loved the house! Everything was fantastic. Can’t wait to rent again soon!

What a wonderful house and what a perfect stay! The pictures really don't do this property justice. The house is excellent - literally everything is updated. We regularly rent VRBO properties and they never have as many creature comforts as this. Making it all even better is the waterfront view of the Magothy River and the private dock. We caught crabs, watched the sunrise, did some fishing... all in our own backyard. Can't recommend highly enough.

We had multiple families coming together for a celebration. The house was beautiful and clean. Definitely would rent again.

We so enjoyed our stay in Severna Park on the Magothy River. The home was spacious, inviting, and comfortable for our extended family celebrating USNA commissioning. I enjoyed the lovely sunrises out on the dock with a book. Dinner on the screened porch overlooking the water was a treat! The long dinner table inside was perfect when our larger group was all there! The house is set back from the road and so peaceful. We soo enjoyed neighborhood walks, runs, and visiting the park. It is a friendly area where people wave as they pass on the road. We even got to enjoy authentic Maryland crab dinners through carryout local spots. Very convenient access to the grocery store, great restaurants, Starbucks, Chick Fil A and more! Already looking forward to returning!!

My whole party had a great time. The warm days we spent on the water, which was so convenient to access from the backyard. The rainy days we had plenty to choose from within a 30 minute drive to keep the kids busy.

Wonderful setting. Very convenient to restaurants. Well supplied with kitchen and bath necessities. Lovely view of river sitting on the porch. Lots of birds and water life. Highly recommend.

The property is lovely. We only stayed a couple of nights because our family was in the area to celebrate the wedding of close friends. We did not realize that there would be another renter on the property, the listing had mentioned that the guest cottage was available but we had thought it was if we needed it for more people, not that it was a joint rental. It was chilly because the thermostat was not responsive. The management company was very responsive, but due to the brevity of our stay, this did not get resolved while we there. Overall I would recommend.

We stayed for a family event and really enjoyed our time. Hosts were very responsive. Dock is wonderful, and house was well set up for a multi generational family. Enjoyed the fire pit and the lovely view!

This lovely river front property was great for us, our children & grandchildren while visiting Baltimore. Beautiful views and huge yard leading to dock. We were able to get a rapid response from the management company when we arrived and the heat was off and they were able to remedy the situation the same day. Some odd things about the site. There was only a Keurig coffeemaker for a house with space for 13, and only one kitchen towel. Very limited paper products and no tissues. However, extra sheets were available. Overall a very nice place.

This is a beautiful property in a quiet neighborhood on the Magothy river near Annapolis. The house is nicely furnished and was clean on our arrival. The yard is spacious, with a fire pit and private dock from which we watched the sunrise each morning. Despite the tranquil setting, the house is conveniently located just minutes from major shopping centers and restaurants.

Wow what a great place to visit. Felt like a warm, comfortable home. Kids played in the water even this late in the season! Loved it, hope to come back. Thanks to Cathy

Accurate listing. Lovely inside and out.

This is a really beautiful property. The location of the house right on the water made for a beautiful view. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was clean and lovely to look at. The kitchen was very functional and we made many meals in it. Easy communication with the managers of the property. We hope to return to this property in the future

This property is awesome! Fabulous grounds and tastefully decorated, newly renovated, home. Very clean and more than enough space for our group of 9 (7 adults, 2 toddlers). Check-in, check-out and communication with the property owner, Cathy, were all very easy. She was extremely responsive. The property and grounds look exactly like the pictures and anything that we needed was a short drive away (groceries etc.). Would definitely recommend staying here for a relaxing trip!

River Breeze is a beautiful place. The home is well-appointed and nicely decorated and feels warm, inviting you to relax! There are plenty of private rooms, but the gathering spaces are really the heart of the stay: catching up at the end of the day on the screened porch, hanging out on the dock, or sleeping on the climate-controlled porch as a treat. My family loved it and even the small children had room to roam without getting hurt. We will definitely book this for another stay. Thank you to our hosts!

We enjoyed our stay in Maryland. The house had a beautiful view and we even rented a boat and caught crabs with the crab traps on the dock. The dining table was large and great for large meals together. We swam in the water and it was shallow enough to walk in all the way down to the ladder. I would suggest bringing pool noodles or a float to enjoy the water. The negatives would be the size of the third bathroom. The shower is really too small and the water would go from cold to extremely hot. When it rained it was hard to use the patio space because water still came in through the screens. It would also get very warm so we bought a box fan to use and it helped a lot for the warm summer days and nights. The counter space in the kitchen was limited for meal prep but there were some great local spots to eat out (about a 20 minute drive for restaurants on the water). Overall it was a great experience and would be great for anyone wanting a relaxing vacation.

River Breeze was a great stay for a family of 10. The home is comfortable, spacious, clean and located in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful views by the lake. There are lots of nearby amenities for a quick meal, groceries etc. It is located about 20 min from Annapolis, and about an hour from DC or VA for day trips. Overall a great stay and we enjoyed our time there!

House is clean and nicely appointed. Was surprised at the lack of a microwave in the kitchen (unless it was hidden somewhere?), but the dual ovens made up the difference. Instagram worthy views of the lake, no filter needed.

Clean and well organized!
