Bunk house stay
We have stayed at the main house and now at the small bunk house next door. The location and the amenities at this property make it a great place to stay. We have stayed at a number of places on the Eastern Shore, but this one is by far the best.

Waters' Edge Studio Apartment
Very nice studio apartment for up to four people, with boat ramp and dock. Owner was very responsive. The apartment itself was very clean and well equipped with four bunks (plus a trundle), excellent air conditioning, modern well-equipped kitchen, bathroom and deck with gas and charcoal grills. There is easy access to fishing in surrounding bays and creeks, but at low tide the channel between the dock and bays is quite shallow (about a foot deep). The owner provided access to kayaks, paddleboards, tube, water skiis, plus crab pots to catch your own. Nice small island about a mile offshore with a beach. Lots of wildlife in the area. Take binoculars.

Family friendly secluded cottage
Our family enjoyed our stay in both the House and the Cottage. The property was a very nice size and was very secluded and private making it the perfect getaway during covid times. The cottage was very cozy and comfortable with plenty of space to relax and enjoy your vacation. Our only complaint was the options for buying dinner which potentially was due to the time of year and everything not yet being open for the season. We definitely would stay here again as we enjoyed your secluded family spring break vacation and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a similar type vacations.
