About this house rental

Enjoy stunning western-facing views across the river and a natural tidal pond from this sprawling historic home that sits on 1.5+ acres. The light-filled farmhouse is located on Persimmon Point, which is positioned between Harness Creek and the South River. It is a peninsula rich in local lore that includes Native American oysters mounds, pirate hideouts, tobacco farming and world champion cows.

Some history: Once the home was part of the original Wimbledon Farm. From the 1930’s, Wimbledon Farm grew abundant produce and tobacco. The last magnificent tobacco barn in Annapolis is on the property next to the house. Wimbledon was also famous for their dairy. Their dairy cows and bulls attracted breeders from around the world and famously started the “Carnation” milk herd. The dairy barn was immense and the milk came into the small milk house, which is now the charming "Milkhouse Suite". Here the milk was chilled and sent out to be bottled and delivered.

Today: The house offers a special, very private family retreat just minutes to downtown Annapolis. The home was renovated to its current beauty by opening the entire back of the house to the water with windows and connecting the main house to the "milk house". All of the living space, and 4 of the 5 bedrooms, are on the main floor. The lofted upstairs bedroom is perfect for the younger crowd with 3 twin beds and room to enjoy each other's company. The open floor plan, deck and terrace provide multiple living spaces inside and out. There are 2 full baths and room for 10 guests to sleep comfortably.

Enjoy the outdoors on stone patio with fountain and dining tables, a pair of Adirondack chairs on the back deck under the shady wisteria pergola, and a BBQ grill. Inside, the dining table seats 8 with room for 3 more at the breakfast bar. Across the lush lawn, there is also a small pier on the pond for kayak launching or fishing fun for small anglers. Guests can also get away from the day by lounging on the creek side on the front porch swing.

Local activities: Great Frogs Winery (less than ½ mile away down the street), Quiet Waters Park (hiking trails, ice skating, SUP rentals) and kayaking or biking.

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.

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.

Enjoyed our stay here for a girls weekend. Only complaint is that the house needed to be deep cleaned—spider webs!

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.
