Pat and Jen were absolutely incredible hosts! Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. They were always quick to respond to our questions and provided helpful tips for exploring the area. The location of the cottage was ideal for visiting Annapolis. It was close enough to all the attractions but far enough away to enjoy a peaceful retreat. The cottage itself was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well-stocked, the queen-size bed was incredibly comfortable, and the backyard was a blast. The hot tub was pure bliss, and the robes were a thoughtful touch that we truly appreciated. The bicycles, kayaks, and SUPs were an added bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you, Pat and Ken, for creating such a wonderful place. We will definitely be returning in the future!

The firefly cottage is the first rental that we've decided deserves a repeat visit sometime in the future. Pat and Ken are super friendly and accommodating. Everything we could possibly think of to need was provided. I'm very particular with cleanliness so it was a pleasant surprise that the cottage was immaculate. Thank again, Pat and Ken! ~Laura and Mark

We first visited Firefly cottage in June, and so enjoyed this special place that we returned again this month! Firefly is a true gem, a beautiful rental that is perfectly designed to maximize space, and one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed at. The large backyard has comfortable outdoor furniture where we could sit, eat meals or simply lounge, with very pretty twinkling lights that come on at dusk. Pat and Ken are superb hosts, and they literally think of everything! From the lovely gift basket filled with snacks and goodies to the dog toy and treats for our pet, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and all the extra touches they offered to make it such a special one. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, and nicely situated near a community beach and just a few minutes drive from downtown Annapolis.
