Riva House | Waterfront 3br Cottage - Paddle, Fish, Sand, Sun!

3 Bedroom House in Riva

Water-lovers dream waterfront cottage 15 min to Annapolis, Navy Academy & 40 min from DC with perfect paddleboarding waters, sandy little beach for kids, fishing gem, pickleball courts & private ramp for boats out your back door. Vacation or commute! Welcome to our favorite place to pop in & out on weekends or lazy afternoons. Grab your laptop, zoom from the porch or office - and still get on the water between meetings! Need to run home to DC for a swimsuit or favorite stuffy you forgot? Done!
The space has a surprise view as you walk towards the kitchen and a surprising number of bedrooms too! While there is only one shower, there is another half bath and an outdoor shower being built now. The rooms are petite but each has a dresser and closet and fits a queen bed. The beds are all foam mattresses with a Tempurpedic in the Propeller Room.
The rooms, living room and kitchen belong exclusively to guests. There is a laundry room with an outdoor entrance and an indoor entrance that is locked, where the cleaners and owners may come and go. Please note - we do provide a small volume washer for your use next to the fridge to wash out your swimsuits or kids clothes in small loads. There is currently not a dryer. We keep 2 small owners’ closets in the home which are locked.
The home has a loft area you’ll see in the living room but this is not accessible to guests. We’ve used it as storage. There is no proper floor to walk on so we do not allow guests access. It’s just not usable space at this point.

Summary: We loved our stay at this cottage so much! We were in town for Plebe Parents Weekend at the Naval Academy and the location was perfect. We traveled with two of our kids and our plebe's best friend. The accomodations were clean and comfortable and exceeded my expectations. The sheets, towels, bedding, and pillows were in excellent conditions and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. I always appreciate when VRBOs have salt and pepper and paper towels and this property had so much more on hand that added to the convenience. Our favorite part was the back porch and the view of the river. The sunrises in the mornings were absolutely spectacular and we got to try out stand up paddle boards for the first time. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future!
