Overview
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
This private waterfront home is a water & nature lover's paradise. Enjoy the simple pleasures of a small island where local watermen made their living for generations. This home is well equipped with a first floor master bedroom and private full bath. Two bedrooms upstairs share a full bath, one bedroom has 2 twin beds and the other has a queen bed. All bedrooms have a beautiful water views!
Imagine awaking to gorgeous sunrises, beautiful water views, and spending relaxing days among the natural surroundings of the eastern shore. Enjoy seeing the waterfowl passing overhead and landing just past the duck blind, while egrets, osprey, and other birds are nesting nearby.
Many activities for a unique eastern shore experience are only a few feet from your door! A short walk out onto the pier is all you need to go to try your luck at fishing, crabbing or wildlife photography. For a scenic bike trip, ride over the historic Knapp's Narrow Bridge, along wide bike paths and through other charming towns of Wittman, Sherwood or St. Michael's. For a unique travel experience, take the ferry (by bike or car) to Historic Oxford.
Any day is a good day to charter a fishing trip, visit a lighthouse, go kayaking, dine out, or shop in the most charming towns on the Eastern Shore: St. Michaels, Easton or Cambridge.
Enjoy crabs with friends and family, overlooking the water, with spectacular views of Skipjacks on Harris Creek- which is fed by one of the Chesapeake Bays most beautiful tributaries, the Choptank River.

About Janice Shreve
Donald and Janice Shreve live in Easton, MD. Don is a licensed contractor, and Janice works from home for a music clearance company. Our son, Dylan loves the Tilghman house, and we enjoy staying there at times to fish, crab and enjoy the beautiful views.
Why Janice Shreve chose Tilghman Island
The property has been in the family for several generations. Previously, there was a modular home on the property, and as a child, Don's family spent summers at that home when he was growing up. Don's parents had the current home built when they retired in 1993. Don and Janice bought out his sister's share of the home in 2014 so as to keep the home in the family and one day retire there, and eventually pass it on to their son, Dylan.
What makes this house unique
There are kayaks and crab traps for rent on site, and the home has a horseshoe pit, dart board and ping pong table for family fun.
Guestbook comments from the owner
And exploring the surrounding area. Such a lovely house and so well equipped! We saw many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, and enjoyed looking out for wildlife. Plus our frequent visitor, Clyde, whose waggy tail and enthusiasm made us all smile.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Gorgeous location, perfectly appointed house
My parents, husband and I enjoyed a wonderful time at this vacation property over Labor Day weekend. The spot is absolutely beautiful and very quiet/peaceful. The house was spotless, comfortable, and full of every amenity we could possibly need. We'd definitely recommend it and would love to come back.
The house was even better than described; very clean and a fantastic spot on the water!
Even better than the website showed; very clean. Loved the dock & kayaks. The only negative (and it turned out to be fairly important) was the lack of any screened in outside area. The website was NOT misleading, but we failed to notice this before we booked. Otherwise, these owners deserve outstanding reviews!
Absolutely Top Notch....
This place deserves more than five stars. Everything was absolutely top notch. Peace and quiet. Close enough to town. We did a girls trip this year here and know doubt we will return again next year. Thank you to Janice for sharing her home.
Beautiful & tranquil
The home was lovely and met our needs. The house sits on the bay with great views in every room of the house. Janice was great. We planned this trip last minute and was easy to work with us. Our check for the deposit got lost in the mail. She was kind enough to meet us somewhere prior to checking in that day to give her a new check.
What a great place!
Beautiful views, nice accommodations, plenty of fun and interesting things to do nearby; you can't go wrong with this rental. Thanks to Janice for being so responsive and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to the next one.
Serene spacious cottage with great water view
Janice was very communicative and flexible in helping us manage a sudden snowstorm on the way out. Her husband also shoveled the walkway for us before we got there. House was beautiful and is perfect for a small retreat. Do hope to return.
