A wonderful long weekend getaway on Hoopers Island--close to the bay and to the attractions of the island. Laura is a great host who ensured we had everything we needed for our stay--a roomy house with a great screened in gazebo and plenty of activities for our elementary school aged kids. Highly recommend it!

Such a great stay
We could not have had a better experience renting this beautiful home. We were looking for a large home on a quaint Island and we got just that. Hoopers Island has an immeasurable charm--the General Store, Old Salty's crab cakes, the single lane road where everyone waves--we couldn't have asked for more. Laura was so accommodating and was very responsive both during the booking process and at check in.

Everything was great! Beautiful and peace and quiet. Airy house that was equipped with everything we needed. The owners got fresh crabs for us and came by to show us how to cook them. Could not ask for a better stay.

Husband and I took a short trip during the pandemic to recharge. The house was clean and comfortable. The owners were attentive, responsive, and friendly. They went out of their way to place an order of crabs and brought them to us to enjoy. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this place to friends.

quiet get away
The location was very laid back and relaxing. The hosts were also very helpful and worked to make sure we had a great experience and have a huge crab feast in the back yard. We also loved the outside shower and the osprey chick nesting in the front yard. The house was rather small, so if you have a big party be prepared to enjoy time outdoors. Easy walk to Salty's restaurant.

SUNSET OVER THE BAY AT ITS BEST!
This was one of the best vacations we've ever had. The place is amazing and Laura had thought of everything, plus some. We never expected so much and it was just great. This was our first VRBO experience and we already have another lined up in a nearby State, but the Bayview Home has set the standard for us and it will be hard to top it. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Fresh oysters, lump crabmeat, fire pit, sunsets, sea glass hunting, fishing, and a comfy, cozy super clean home to relax in. Laura and John are hosts extraordinaire! John had the fire pit set up and brought us fresh oysters. Laura dropped off crabmeat and a lighter. We found the house very warm and inviting. Our two dogs loved the big yard to explore and play fetch. We want to return when it’s warmer. Great place!!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Johnson
My family and I love living here on the island we have raised our children here and now our grandchildren. We can not think of a better place to be in the world!!! We really enjoy fishing,crabbing,kayaking,and biking the island. We mostly love catching the fish and crabs then cooking them up for a fresh seafood dinner!!
Why they chose this property
This was the home my husband was raised in. It was left to us , so we completely renovated it all new inside, and now rent it so others can enjoy our nice cozy home. As you see the way of life here as the watermen work on the bay and come in daily with their catches. What a great experience!!
What makes this property unique
Enjoy steaming your own blue claw crabs we get fresh daily off the boats at wholesale prices. Cooking them right in the backyard! Or we can get the crabs ALREADY COOKED!! Also In the fall thru winter, you can buy oysters right off the boats. Then in the evening sit on the porch and watch the sun set over the Bay!
