Flaghouse Inn, Annapolis

 

Recently under new ownership from the team that brought you 134 Prince, this gorgeous B&B on Randall Street comprises two circa-1879 townhouses combined into a single inn with a signature flag-bedecked porch and four well-appointed bedrooms that feel like home, only better. They all have luxury bedding and bath products, ensuite baths, and HD cable TV, all in the heart of the historic downtown.

Inn at Herrington Harbor, North Beach

 

Herrington Harbor is one of the top marinas on the Chesapeake, but you don't need a boat to enjoy the setting for Valentine's Day. Located in the south end of the expansive marina complex, the 45-room Inn at Herrington Harbor is a hidden gem tucked in on a private beach overlooking the Bay. The 45 rooms and suites have private entrances and come in various styles, from standard guest rooms with king beds to suites with a full kitchen and living rooms, and even guestrooms with private open-air patios with a hot tub.
