About this cottage rental

Watch the sunrise on the private beach at Oh Happy Bay.

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.

I actually grew up in Annapolis & spend many 4th of Julys on Bembe Beach. & remembered the view. So when it came time to get my parents & brothers together for a mini reunion, I knew just the spot. We all just sat in the backyard & enjoyed the view & paddle boarded & kayaked the majority of the time. The birds & boats & bridge make a fantastic backdrop. There is plenty of room to spread out & had everything we needed. We didn’t have to drive anywhere. We even got my favorite pizza “ Rocco’s “ delivered & walked to Port of Annapolis around the corner to go to my favorite bakery. If thinking about staying in Annapolis but don’t want to stay in the noisy downtown area, then Oh Happy Bay is the house for you. We can’t say enough. Great things about our stay ! We hope to make more memories there again next year.

A beautiful home right on the bay! We enjoyed watching the sunrise, the sailboats, swimming, paddleboards, bike riding and the outdoor spaces. The kitchen and baths were updated. Short drive to downtown and close to supermarket and Rx. Hosts were easy to contact and communicate with. Would definitely return!

The location was amazing. It’s right on the water and close to downtown Annapolis. We all enjoyed a couple days of relaxing near the water and the kids LOVED the paddle boards and Kayaks. The adults loved watching the sailboats and other boats go by. Our only complaint is the couches and outside furniture could be updated but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for us staying again. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back again.

Nice atmosphere for the family to enjoy comfortably. Private beach was nice since had a grandchild under 2. She loved playing in the sand with everyone. Sleeping areas were great. Master bedroom was outstanding with a great view of the bay. Plenty of amenities to keep the family busy

Kitchen was nice- well appointed. Love the little extras they provide. Home was cute. Ants were a big problem- and a lot of the outdoor furniture needs to be replaced- but the yard was great, and the view was lovely, It was quiet and beds were comfortable. Also great location.
