Seasonal Notes:

Spring & Summer and the peak season for kayaking, exploring Assateague's beaches, and day trips to Berlin, Chincoteague, and Ocean City. The creek and bay are most active with birds. Two kayaks are available from spring through fall.

Fall is an underated season here. The foliage around the property and along the creek turns in October, and the crowds thin out considerably. Cooler evenings are ideal for the firepit. Still warm enough for a beach day at Assateague in early fall and the creek and bay stay warmer than expected for kayaking.

Winter is perfect for a quiet, cozy getaway. The waterfront setting has a different character when it's cold. It’s good for walks, the firepit, and unwinding without the summer crowds. Believe it or not, there are different birds that migrate here during winter and the Herons are still around if you look hard enough.

* For those seeking aquatic adventures with powered watercraft, we recommend taking advantage of the nearby public boat launch situated at the end of the street. It’s important to note that returning to the house’s dock can be challenging with tidal water and shallow depths, so relying on the public launch ensures a smoother experience.

If you decide to explore Chincoteague/Newport Bay, keep in mind that the outer edges of the creek's turns tend to offer deeper water. Visualize the way water naturally carves a path during tides – this can help you identify and avoid shallow areas. The bay is more shallow in some places than you might expect. There is a depth chart in the house to assist.
