Adorable cottage

What a cute place on the water! Brand new floors and lots of sitting areas inside and out! Just a few steps from the deck to the pier! Unbelievably convenient! After my husband discovered the living room recliner was “power”, I never got to sit in it again! Our manual recliner at home is dead to him now!! Wonderful views and sweet neighbors who used to live not too far from our home! Small world!!

Amazing sunsets

This property is one of the best places to relax and take in the sunset views. The public beach is a quick 5 minute drive. Also a nice place to relax, soak in the sun, play in the water and collect sea glass.

We didn't want to leave. That about says it all. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. There are lots of windows to let in the light and the breeze. The bedroom is large with several places to put your suitcases, and there are hooks on the back of the door. The bed is very comfy. The two livings areas have plenty of supportive seating and lots of pillows. The kitchen is on the smaller size with not much counter space but is very well-stocked for cooking. The bathroom is good-sized and the shower is awesome. Good hot water and pressure. But the decks! As you can see from the photo, the back deck is right on the water. The host has provided lawn chairs to bring out. We spent all day on the back deck. When it was too windy (one day) we moved to the front deck which blocked some of the wind. The cottage is fairly isolated (nice neighbors, though), but it's an easy drive to several nice restaurants. Check out Sisters with a Twist in Princess Anne for great breakfast sandwiches. Pick up a couple of hoagies there and take a picnic to Bordeleau Winery in Eden. Wonderful wine! Debbie is a super host. Any question is answered immediately, and the binder she provides has lots of info on the cottage and the area. I'd give a rating of 12 out of 10 if I could.

Amazing place!

Such a beautiful little cottage in a very quiet and remote area. Loved the dock and crabbing was great! The neighbors were so nice, even had traps baited with crabs in them when we arrived. Debbie’s got everything you need and more. Definitely will be back again

Relaxing getaway

We had the loveliest time at this peaceful bay side cottage celebrating our anniversay. The house was clean, area was quiet and pretty much away from everything. Relaxing on the deck and lounging on the private dock gave us some much needed R&R! We had a bald eagle hanging out with us for a few days as well!

Lovely Cottage at the Shore!

Nice enough to just stay at the cottage the entire time. Soooo relaxing! However we did enjoy going on a cruise from Crisfield to historic, Smith Island, tour and lunch there and back again. Crisfield itself is full of history and great restaurants. We will go back again!

Secluded serenity

After careful research, we booked this place for my husband's 60th bday as he wanted easy access for pier fishing. It checked all the boxes for location, amenities and pricing. The owner was very informative and responsive. The only reason for 4 stars for cleanliness is because the previous guests had left the doors and screens open and there were a lot of flies. So pay it forward for the next guests and keep it all contained. It was truly a lovely place!

Brief Getaway

This is a lovely cottage with a great view. You can’t get much closer to the water. We enjoyed the quiet and the beauty of nature. It is secluded as it’s about 20 minutes from any shopping or eateries. One note, the pictures are accurate however the two steps between the lower level (kitchen, bedroom, bathroom) and the living area are steep if you have any mobility issues.

Beautiful Bay stay

The cottage was just as described, but we were not expecting the beauty and calm of the bay. The eagles, ospreys and fish jumping were highlights. We thought we would explore the area but could not leave the view

Chesapeake Travels

The property was just as listed. We traveled up and down the East shore and enjoyed relaxing at the cottage watching the bay in the evening. Didn’t bring fishing gear and now I regret it. The dock was so inviting. If I ever get a chance to return, this will be my first choice- Dennis

Dream Cottage

We had such a wonderful stay. The location was perfect and the weather cooperated. Each day was special. The host was thoughtful, all our needs were anticipated. The view across Tangier Sound was spectacular, especially at sunset. We saw so much wildlife including butterflies, osprey, cormorants and sea eagles. The cottage was everything we dreamed of.

My son and I have been enjoying fishing and crabbing for 16 years together. This year was special and actually stayed here last year because of the clean house, the great location and the pier. I'm glad we came back this year.

Spring Getaway

We enjoyed the waterfront cottage. The cottage was just as we expected from the listing. The view was beautiful and everything was very comfortable and well stocked with linens, and other basic needs. It was much further away from any towns, shopping, hiking or touristy things to do than we expected although Debbie mentioned in her welcome note to bring all the food and needed supplies because shopping was far. She wasn’t kidding. There was no cabinet space available in the kitchen for the food that we brought though. We had to consolidate plates, cups and pots and pans to put food away. There was beer, soda, and a few other items left in the fridge and freezer. There could also be more counter space in the bathroom to put our toiletries somewhere. It was necessary to move things to find space. We had a very relaxing, enjoyable stay. It was chilly outside which was a bummer. We would return during a warmer time of year to enjoy the water and outside seating area. Neighbors were nice and suggested going to Berlin for shopping and dinner. Great town. We also traveled to Assateague for a day and went to a town park in Salisbury to hike around and then to their free zoo. Lovely week! Thank you!

Summer at the cottage

The cottage is located in an awesome place. The dock on the bay in incredible. You can't get any closer without being in the water. If you enjoying boating , fishing or just the views this is it. The host thinks of everything just in case you forget something. Very clean and cozy.
