Loved this home! It had all the necessities you could think of and was very clean and comfortable. The location was peaceful and quiet, yet close to many shops and places to eat, which was super convenient. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, making the whole stay smooth and stress-free. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this place!

This is a wonderful property with so much to do. We did a holiday & graduation party and this was the perfect place. I don't think there was a single night we went to bed before 1am😃 Alvin was a great host with great communication. The property had seasoning, coffee, and tea accommodations. Loved it.. i would highly recommend this home.

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better early Christmas family getaway. Everything was perfect—from the comfort of the home to the thoughtful touches throughout. The house was clean, cozy, and fully equipped with everything we needed to feel right at home. As a family visiting from San Diego, the snowfall was an extra special treat and made the experience even more memorable. The property owner was polite, helpful, and very responsive to all communication, which made the entire stay smooth and stress-free. We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful and memorable stay at Alvin's house. Quiet street but still close to stores and restaurants, Alvin's house in Bowie gets you away from a hustle and bustle of Annapolis, Baltimore, and DC while being in such a key location to all 3. We hosted a group of Plebes from the Naval Academy for the weekend, and it was a great respite for them as they passed the halfway point of their first semester at USNA. They ate, slept, relaxed in the hot tub, laughed and talked about stories not only in the living room, but the sunroom as well. The basement provided a great way to bond while watching movies on a supersized TV and they challenged each other to ping pong and air hockey. The backyard is fenced and enormous, and having 3 bathrooms was key. Because we stayed mid-October, it was too cold to swim and the pool was closed, but we look forward to rebooking with Alvin next summer as the plebes become upperclassmen. The firepit was another great area as well!

I booked this home for a group of my linemen and Alvin was so wonderful to communicate with and accommodate my guys, even when we requested an extension at the last minute. It was a good change from hotel living which is what they are used to, to having a full kitchen to prepare a good meal. I will definitely book with him again if we are ever back in the area. I could go on and on about how great this experience for myself (travel arranger) and my linemen, 10 out of 10 I give him a 15. :)
