We had a good time at this property, pier is great for fishing and crabbing. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The view from the living room was beautiful. The host was great at communicating to me fast and took care of all our needs! One thing that was a bit annoying was the screened in porch door was broken , the door wouldn't stay open when latched with the cylinder and wouldn't close securely, also the screen on the back of the porch was ripped. Silly things that seemed like a nice property would have fixed and not tried to tape back together. But overall a great weeks stay for us!

Peaceful getaway

Beautiful view, beautiful home, very clean and well stocked! My family of 6 (2 adults, 3 teen boys and 1 younger boy) enjoyed 4 nights/3 days at this lovely home on Tilghman Island. The island itself is tucked away and very slow paced. We didn’t try any of the local restaurants (some were closed M-W), but there are a few limited options. There is a marina where you can rent fishing/crabbing equipment as well as book charters. We mostly fished from the dock (with very little luck) and enjoyed walking the gravel road, kayaking and paddle boarding.The home itself is recently updated and shows. We grabbed basic groceries on the way in and were pleasantly surprised to find how well stocked the kitchen was with oils, spices, dishes, etc. The beds were all clean and comfortable, although the primary bedroom mattress was a bit firmer than we’d like. The only thing I think was missing was a full length mirror or two- other than that we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.The communication with the property manager was also very easy and she always responded in a timely manner. We had a few questions here and there and found her to be very helpful.Saint Michaels is an easy 20 minute drive from the house and a super cute town! We loved the ice cream at JoJo’s and the coffee from Eat Sprout (they also have a great assortment of baked goods/GF items). I wish we had more time to check out the other restaurants there!Overall- wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay on Tilghman Island at this beautiful property. The waterfront view from the house is stunning (as are the sunrises). We had fun using the kayak and walking over to Gina’s at the Bridge for lunch. It was a very relaxing stay!

This house and location are beyond beautiful!

This was a girls weekend and the house could not have been more perfect!! The house and location are beautiful. It feels so homey with a beautiful yard, a dock, and so many areas to relax and enjoy. It is so thoughtfully decorated, the beds and bedding were very comfortable, and it is stocked with anything you could ever need. Nothing was overlooked. Tilghman Island and St Michaels are such a wonderful get away with great shopping, Inns, restaurants and bars. Be sure to do a sunset cruise!

Peace and Quiet

First, the home is in a wonderful location. Spectacular water views; bald eagles flying around; and not a single human being anywhere in sight. Second, the house is advertised as being recently renovated and it shows. The interiors and furnishings are all in excellent condition. The bed and furniture were all very comfortable. We will definitely return in the future. We recommend this home for anyone looking for a quiet, restful respite from stress.

It's Everything and More.....

We had an amazing stay! This home has anything and everything you will need. The property is on a quiet street and being on the water is always calming. I wish there was a way to easily get into the water (full disclosure, I did NOT reach out to ask if there was a ladder or anything else, as I was completely off my device for the entirety of our stay). We loved playing corn hole every night! St. Michael's is so close and we found ourselves heading downtown, to the farmer's market and out shopping and eating every day! The beds were comfortable and having soap and lotion at every sink was wonderful!! Not to mention the body wash, shampoo and conditioner in both showers! We will most definitely be returning to this fabulous home again. You should check it out, for sure!
