Still looking for a summer weekend getaway? These Annapolis Airbnbs are so close (about an hour from DC) that they’ll feel easy like a staycation, while transporting you and your crew to a quaint weekend of waterfront shopping, dining, and more.
Whether you want to relax with a Main Street stroll and a few al fresco meals, climb aboard the Woodwind—or another boat charter (kids will especially love the pirate adventure)—for a sail, check out the historic tours of the town, crack crabs, or take in the view—an Airbnb in Annapolis can serve as home base for the weekend. Here, we’ve rounded up Airbnbs with rave reviews and ample availability through the rest of the summer.
