Tiny House

This tiny house is cute and has a great view of the water! It’s peaceful aside of the noisy generator running at the wedding venue next door. It wasn’t very clean when we arrived. Floors had some piles of sand and appeared to be unswept. Some trash from the previous people was left laying around.

Herron's Nest Review

A cozy getaway perfect for us! We enjoyed our stay at this charming little cottage by the bay. We would highly recommend to anybody considering a private stay that is still close enough to Annapolis and the Naval Academy.

It's the VIEW!

Loved our 4 day stay. Cabin is updated and very clean. The view is what makes it super special, right on the water with wonderful breezes. Pool was a nice plus too. Kitchen was nice, but fridge was small with no freezer space. We would rent again!

Great stay

Beautiful view. The place is small but perfect for a couple or a family of three. The view is top notch. We enjoyed leaving the windows open and listening to the water. The steps are fine as long as you are steady on your feet.

Wonderful stay!

This is an amazing property, sitting right on the water's edge. I felt totally relaxed. The house is stocked with all kinds of little extras that shows that the owner put a lot of thought into making the house as welcoming as possible. The cleanliness was impeccable. I have stayed at many rentals and this was among the best!

A very cute and comfortable house. We loved the view. Do wish it had a freezer for ice. We could have also used a container for leftovers and we could not find the hair dryer.

Appropriately named

The Heron’s Nest is the perfect name for this cottage. We saw so many Great Blues as the sun went down on the first night of our stay, and slept with the windows open listening to them flying over the water all night. Also loved watching the ospreys, and tracking the ships and planes going by. Really appreciated the easy communication and accommodations provided by the host, and check in was super easy. Access to all the amenities of the marina really made this the perfect getaway. Can’t wait to come back.

Relaxing haven

I have to start with how friendly, kind and helpful everyone was on the property. We were looking to relax and found a special place! We enjoyed countless hours sitting on the porch and taking in the view. Because of the heat we were able to enjoy a dip in the pool and relax at the beach. There is plenty of activities in the area. We enjoyed a lunch and boat ride in Annapolis as well as hiking in a nearby park. The house was comfortable and accommodating. Enjoy!
