About this property

Directly Across from USNA Gate One & Steps from the Waterfront and Main Street!

Vacations are meant to be carefree! Let the chimes from the Naval Academy chapel start your day. Stroll along our famed waterfront or sit at City Dock and imagine what Annapolis must have been like during the 1700's, when the City was a bustling seaport with vessels arriving from all over the world. Or, watch sailboat races in the harbor and understand why Annapolis is called, America's Sailing Capital.

This historic home was built in 1908 and has been fully renovated & perfectly equipped for your stay.

Located in the heart of downtown Annapolis, 10 Randall is conveniently located, granting instant access to the Main Gate of The US Naval Academy, the Annapolis Harbor, local restaurants and bars, boat cruises, and a variety of specialty shops ~ Making this location ideal for wedding parties, Navy parents and Alumni, sailors, and weekend travelers.

For those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle, the private courtyard provides the perfect setting for intimate dining or catching up on a good book.

Professionally cleaned and beautifully maintained, this home sleeps eight (8) comfortably in two queen beds, one convertible full bed, and one sectional/sleeper (queen) in the living room.

Parking is provided for one vehicle (up to a mid-sized SUV). If your vehicle is larger or additional cars need to park, it may be possible to provide parking at an additional cost. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Both the home and Annapolis have something special to offer...all year long. This home is ideal for Naval Academy events, family gatherings, wedding parties, graduations, boat shows and regattas! Use the link below to view upcoming events sponsored by the Historic Annapolis Foundation...it will help you take advantage of all the incredible events that Annapolis has to offer during your stay: http://www.annapolis.org/index.asp?pageid=112

Best location in Annapolis

The house was absolutely perfect for our USNA Reunion. About 10 steps to Gate 1 and just a few more to the heart of downtown made it a weekend we will remember. The host was responsive and accommodated our requests and was very kind. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot!

We loved our stay here! The location is unbeatable and having access to parking was very convenient. The house itself was quaint with character and very clean! My husband and I stayed with our 4 young children and had ample space. The beds were all comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the host was great! We really hope to stay here again in the future!

Cute cottage in a great location

While the cottage may have some of the historic/ older quirks, it is a wonderful (and beautiful ) property that we would highly recommend! We loved the walk-ability to downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy. Despite its close location, it’s quiet at night lending to a good nights sleep 😊. The owner provided us some great insight on the location as well.

Great location for visiting USNA

We had a great stay at 10 Randall!! It was the perfect location for us to bring our Mid's grandparents to experience USNA and downtown Annapolis! Each morning it was great for whoever wanted to walk to town grab a coffee and head to the marine to watch the boats! The location is perfect, the ammenities are great and John was responsive with any questions or concerns! Thank you for a great stay in Annapolis!
