Know Your Audience, Crack The Guest Code
Your home’s decor should make an immediate impact:

• Use neutral tones with bold accents (pillows, throws, and decor) to refresh and brighten up your space.
• Declutter and reorganize to maximize living areas, making rooms feel more spacious and inviting.
Guests visiting for the world Famous Boat Shows, USNA Commissioning Week, and football games appreciate a well-appointed home that complements their visit.
Create a Space Guests Love And You Cherish: Relaxation & Entertainment
With Annapolis’ waterfront lifestyle, outdoor areas are a major draw:
• Comfortable seating and shaded areas make patios or balconies more inviting.
• String lights or lanterns create an intimate, cozy ambiance for evening gatherings.
• Outdoor dining and a grill appeal to families and groups attending USNA reunions, weddings, or summer vacations.
Ensure Functionality & Comfort for a Stress-Free Stay
Prevent last-minute issues by checking:
• All appliances, from coffee makers to dishwashers, ensuring they work perfectly.
• Plumbing, HVAC, and Wi-Fi connectivity, as reliable internet is essential for both leisure and business travelers.
• Guest essentials, such as fresh linens, working locks, and a well-stocked kitchen for convenience.
