We had a wonderful stay at this waterfront home! The views were absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset. The property was very well maintained, tastefully decorated, and had lovely furnishings throughout. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. We spent hours relaxing on the deck overlooking the water, making it the perfect spot for a girls’ weekend. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Our week on Tilghman Island at Dock of the Bay was everything we could have expected and so much more! The house was a beautiful retreat sitting right on the bay, comfortably decorated,relaxing, and restful with the most amazing views. The sunsets were breathtaking. The quietness was so peaceful and watching all the various ships and boats pass was a highlight for us. Fishing off the private dock was another relaxing experience. We can't wait to return and stay at Dock by the Bay!!!!

Beautiful Property!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is so charming and well decorated. Everything was super clean and looked exactly like the photos. You absolutely cannot beat the view - we loved our mornings sipping coffee on the porch and the dinners watching the sun set. It’s just a short drive to St Michael’s, but we loved the quietness of the neighborhood!

This was an amazing house in a great location. It is nicely isolated and the private dock makes for some amazing sunsets. We ate nearly every meal on the back deck. The house was decorated so nicely and well stocked. The drive into St Michael’s was only about 20min and there are several activities and restaurants.

Thank you for joining us at Dock of the Bay. Guest experience is of the utmost importance to us, and we were happy to send a team member to assist you. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that Mark may have encountered during his stay. As stated in the listing, the TV is a smart TV, and the connection cables can be found just under the table beneath the TV. The grill situation has been corrected, and the guest was compensated accordingly. We hope Mark will join us again at one of our other properties as we would like to offer a discounted rate.

Spring around the corner

The house is lovely, comfortable, clean. It is on the Chesapeake, and the back deck is just wonderful for enjoying the beautiful views of the bay and sunset. We loved the house, and the people on Tilghman Island were very nice. The house is perhaps a 20 minute drive to St. Michael's, which was a great outing for the afternoon. And, Two if by Sea, the restaurant within a couple of blocks of the house, had a wonderful breakfast. We would love to come back.

Our Perfect Stay

We had a great stay on Tilghman Island. The house was perfect with the unbelievable water view and open space layout inside. Super clean and comfortable, we enjoyed the days outside fishing on the dock, and the cozy fire inside during the nights. Also, the sunsets are unbelievable! We enjoyed biking all around the island, and morning walks to Two if by Sea for breakfast and a cup of coffee. The General Store on the island was close and convenient as well. Our host Jennifer was super communicative and responsive during the booking process and our stay. We are looking forward to returning to Tilghman Island and staying in this lovely home again.
