Your hosts

Welcome. We live in the main house on the same lot, so help is close by, and a dog named Puck lives here too. This guide covers getting in, the Murphy bed, the kitchen, check-out, and our favorite places nearby.

Mauro works at the Naval Academy and Katie works in tech. We love Annapolis and are excited to share it with you.

Go Navy, Beat Army!

  3. Use the second blue door

    It is the second blue door you pass as you walk from the garage, at the end of the footpath. It has a keypad lock, so there are no keys to return.
