Love the pool, hot tub, and outdoor area for eating and relaxing! Good option when visiting the Naval Academy for a week!

Veronica was very responsive to any requests or questions. My friends and I spent most of our time by the pool. It was magnificent and very relaxing.

Victoria’s home was exactly as advertised. We were a bit hesitant to have the owner on the premises but it worked out perfectly. She was invisible and responsive at the same time. When we needed her for minor requests, she was responsive in a timely manner. The grounds of the property were the highlight with walking trails, heated pool and jacuzzi (for a small fee). The grounds included numerous gathering spots, a basketball court and trampoline.

Beautiful pool and outdoor area
Our family really enjoyed our stayed in Davidsonville. The house was very clean, although a little dated. The pool and outdoor kitchen area was wonderful. The house is in a very secluded area so it was very peaceful and relaxing by the pool. We enjoyed making homemade pizza in the outdoor pizza oven. Veronica was very friendly and helpful. She lives in a completely separate but lower section of the house so she was readily available for any questions/issues that came up. The house is close to Annapolis which was a nice town to visit.

Beautiful, Luxury home in Davidsonville
We had a great time in the spacious home and pool in Davidsonville (near Annapolis) with family.
We had all amenities we needed for a great time and a wonderful home owner nearby that is so nice and helpful. Excellent home for family and friends.

Beautiful Home in a very private location
Beautiful home in a very private location. The photos are accurate, the outdoor living space is amazing and huge! Everything was very clean inside and out including the pool which must take a lot of work because it is surrounded by big mature trees. Everything was excellent!

Vacation in Davidsonville
We had a wonderful time at Veronica’s property in Davidsonville. The house is very spacious, surrounded by trees and very private. We spent our days and nights by the pool and jacuzzi. Also, during the nights we sat by the fireplace to relaxed. On some evenings we cooked in the patio kitchen, on others inside the house using the chef well appointed kitchen. During our last night, we ordered food, which was fairly easy given the house proximity to restaurants. Finally, Veronica was very attentive with all us. We look forward staying at the house again next summer.

The perfect four day getaway
I wanted to do something relaxing with the kids, we are only an hour away form Annapolis but we wanted a change of pace. It was a perfect four day break from the everyday. We spent almost all day in the pool and hot tub. We kept both heated all day and night for a small fee, and so even when temperatures went down, we were able to enjoy the pool, so perfect, which included a resort-like shallow area with lounge chairs in the water. Amazing. Not to mention the gas torches we lit in the evening, and the full outdoor kitchen—we cooked steaks and chicken and made frozen pizza in the outdoor pizza oven. The game room kept us busy in between and at night. The pool table was in good condition—a little tight to make the shots from the side, we didn’t play craps or blackjack, but it’s all there for those who want it. A local farm around the corner where we bought watermelon. 25 minutes to downtown Annapolis. It was a full four days of relaxation and solid outdoor time. Very enjoyable. As others have mentioned, Veronica is on site so you have to be open to that. Personally, I loved having Veronica on site. She was the warmest kindest person, understood we wanted our privacy, yet asked if we wanted anything when going to Costco. Who does that? Very sweet. Veronica is lovely and the house was a wonderful retreat and getaway.

Great Summer Relaxation Spot
Our 2nd trip to Veronica's property and it was wonderful. Was able to bring our kids w/ their 10 month-old baby this year. Pool and outdoor space worked great! Indoor spaces also. Veronica is a great host!

Pleasant
Our stay was pleasant despite the fact that the one of the air conditioner units wasn’t working. Fortunately for us, we spent our most of our time in Annapolis and our only time at the house was in the mornings until 10AM and evenings after 8PM. Veronica did her best to attempt to make our stay more comfortable. She even brought in a temporary AC unit to cool only the family room although the kitchen and dining areas were unbearably hot (above 85’F). Unfortunately for us, her new AC unit was being installed on the day we checked out.
We rent VRBO homes all the time and we were disappointed in this home to not to find any coffee/tea along side the hidden coffee maker. As a rental property manager myself, I always supply my guests with coffee/tea/creamers/sweeteners, bottled waters etc along with a vanity kit of shampoo/conditioner/body-wash/lotion which is enough to get a guest started until they make it to the grocery store. My guests even receive a wine basket with goodies. Please make sure that you come prepared to this home.
The outdoor area is a lovely area to entertain complete with outdoor kitchen, fireplace, fountain and sauna. The kids enjoyed the pool although they were chased out by hornets. They ended up playing billiards in the game room in-between stomping on the ants at the threshold and windowsill. Veronica planned on taking care of the ants with a gel of some sort, but I think the black pepper I put down helped kill most of them before she got to them.
The home is nice with a lot of eye-candy however, it is dated. While Veronica was lovely, and quick to respond to any issues or inquiries, we were not comfortable having the owner reside on the lower (basement) level nor seeing her about the front yard walking her sweet dog or watering her garden out back.

Resort like vacation
The outdoor amenities are to die for. Everything is beautifully designed and authentic. We particularly loved the pool and fireplace, but the outdoor kitchen is amazing for visitors who might want to cook outdoors. Veronica is on site and communication is easy. We did need to ask for several things that we expected to find in the house, but she provided them promptly. And she needed to turn on and off several features of the outdoor environment, like pool lights and the hot tub (which is too loud to use anyway) but again, communication wasn't a problem. We didn't even use half the amenities there are so many.
The house is spacious with lots of spaces to congregate, most notably a large living room with large TV and a game room with pool table, and Las Vegas like tables. There is almost too much space for 6 people. The kitchen is grand and comfortable.
The house is in a neighborhood, so proximity to other places is by car only. On the downside, everyday there were workmen there at some point that made using the outdoors a little uncomfortable during that time.
This listing can be a destination in itself, particularly for a family reuniting on an annual basis.

Great Getaway
We needed a break from working at home 24/7 and somewhere we would could relax yet remain socially distanced. This home was the perfect haven for that. The pool area was gorgeous and made us feel like we were on a European resort vacation. The property is located in a very quiet and secluded area yet close enough to many restaurants and shops. Also, Veronica was an excellent host and was happy to answer any questions we had. She also showed us all of the cool features the property has to offer. Such as the outdoor gourmet kitchen, sauna, outdoor fireplace, heated and lighted pool and jacuzzi, and gas tiki torches that surrounded the pool area. This place is absolutely amazing and we will definitely be back!

Enjoyed having a change of scenery during coronavirus
Great to have a pool for the kids as a change of scenery. Owner is very interested in knowing if her guests need anything. However, there were a number of times when we needed things to be addressed. She is very nice, and very available, but you will interact with her frequently. For example, whenever you want to use the pool's hot tub you'll have to ask her to turn it on from somewhere inside her part of the house. Know that the owner lives on the first floor of this house. You will encounter her daily regardless as she waters the many potted plants around the outside of the house or asks if you need something. Check in and check out was very convenient.

Beyond perfect, a Palace fit for royalty.
The only thing we needed more of was TIME. There are more outside areas to eat a meal or snack or a camp-fire with s’mores that you will run out of time before you can enjoy them all (even after 4 days).
Our family of 5 had no reason to leave the property. Every accommodation was not only provided for but owner ensured access to their amazing Space. On par with a world class resort or SPA.
When not in the pool, the family enjoyed use of selection of board games for all ages, Card and table games (even a craps table), as well as full slate pool table.
You will not be board trying to relax.
As advertised. Great time. Will return.

Beautiful oasis for a relaxing getaway
My husband and two small children had a wonderful vacation at this beautiful home. We felt like we were staying at an Italian villa. Lots of attention to detail and hard work went into to maintaining the property. We spent a week in the pool and grilled in the outdoor kitchen. Had s’mores by the outdoor fireplace. Kids loved the game room. Veronica was a very gracious host. She vacuumed the pool every morning and was able to answer any questions we had on the spot. Only downside was that there was a landscaping crew there every day working on projects around the property. So didn’t feel as private or quiet at times. But it didn’t affect our enjoyment, we were able to maximize our vacation with a much needed getaway. Looking forward to returning next year.

Great location, outdoor space can’t be beat
Visited with my family for an extended weekend. The town of Davidson Was a nice surprise. There are grocery stores a few minutes away and delicious local food also very close by... seafood and bbq. Veronica is a very engaging host and was very present in case of any small issue but not obtrusive. The house is a bit dated and looks more aged compared to the photos but has a nice layout and you can tell she puts a lot of TLC into the home. The reason to go is really for the outdoor space which is so well maintained and is so peaceful with all the water features and beautiful crystal clear pool. There’s an outdoor kitchen which we didn’t utilize. The house would lend itself to a nice gathering for adults and older children.

Lots of potential but a few key issues
The property is unique and serene, set back into the woods a bit, the pool and garden areas being extravagantly laid out. Such a beautiful setting to spend the day. Our primary reason for the stay was to relax and enjoy the pool area...this property certainly offers that. The owner, Veronica, was communicative both during the booking process and our stay. She resides in a separate residence on the property and was accessible to troubleshoot almost immediately on every occasion...of which there were a few too many. Read on. All beds were neatly made with chocolates at the bedside, an abundance of clean towels provided, and other details were really appreciated. The house is large and spacious, and 20-25 years ago would’ve been considered very luxurious. And it certainly has a one of a kind charm...however it is a bit dated and could use a thorough cleaning and overhaul in some areas. Key issues were: the hot tub was essentially not usable as it makes a very loud gurgling noise when turned on fully. Cold or loud...neither were enticing. The entire pool/spa heating system was complicated and while Veronica did her best to manage this, she spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, which meant we saw her quite frequently. If you’re visiting for peace and privacy, this is a distraction. Also the pool chemicals need to be better managed. The first day we dealt with excessive chlorine leaving an intense smell and burning eyes. Finally, after checkout the owner claimed we damaged three items which absolutely we’re not damaged by us. Highly disappointed with this. While the stay could have been spectacular considering the lavish arrangements, the issues with quality, interruptions by the owner for troubleshooting, and erroneous claims means we will not return.

Have to see to believe!
Spectacular property is quiet community just outside of Annapolis. Great bedrooms, state of the art appliances, beautiful pool and jacuzzi and a terrific host. Perfect get-away for midshipmen and parents who want to stay close. Veronica was great.....undersold the property.......it’s a real gem. We will be back for certain!

Beautiful pool and outdoor setting
Our stay at this beautiful home was relaxing and quiet. The pool was wonderful on the hot days during our visit. We loved watching the butterflies and dragonflies in the poolside garden.
We were able to check-in early which was an added bonus. Veronica was always available and was a gracious host.

Secluded Vacation Home
I stayed at Veronica’s place for a quick 4 -day mini vacation with my family. The weekend we were there happened to be in the upper 90’s which made the pool and outdoor grounds even that much more enjoyable. The home was well appointed and had more than enough space for the four of us. Veronica was very responsive and allowed us a later check-in time as well as a later check-out time our final morning. The property is very private in a gorgeous older development. I would definitely recommend this home for either a weekend or an extended stay.
