Great House with a great view

The house was beautiful and steps away from everything. We brought our boat and kept it at the dock. Communication in advance and during our stay was outstanding. The house had everything we needed and more!

Awesome stay!

We loved our stay here! My husband was doing the Ironman in Cambridge and it was about 35 minutes to get into town and back, no traffic and enjoyable ride. The Old Bank has so much character, it felt homey, and was stocked with anything we would need! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the doc and the viewing from the living area was amazing. The neighborhood was quiet but everyone we ran into was so friendly, old Salty’s is just a little walk down the street for good food and more amazing views! The host was awesome and quick to respond if we needed anything. Would stay again!

Wonderful Getaway in Hoopers Island

We are no strangers to Hoopers Island, and the Old Bank property provided a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. The house is clean, spacious, and comfortable. Sleeping on the sleep number beds was a treat, and looking out at the bay in the morning was a wonderful way to start the day. Want to thank the host again for great communication and an easy check in process. We look forward to our return. Thank you again!

Hidden gem on the Chesapeake

This was a lovely home in a setting that was just right for this low key family of 3. Probably the nicest and most well equipped rental home we've ever stayed at. Sunsets off the dock are amazing. Spent a week relaxing and swimming. Owner easy to contact and helpful. Would love to visit again one day. Highly recommend.

Beautiful location on Chesapeake Bay

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location on the Chesapeake Bay. The house was large, comfortable and accommodating for our family of 4 that included 2 teenagers. We loved fishing off of the dock and watching the sunsets. Old Salty's Restaurant and Bar was within walking distance. The general store was perfect for picking up supplies and food. Definitely a birders paradise with Blackwater Nature Preserve nearby. We also learned that this area is close to the Underground Railroad.

Hooper Island in Old Bank

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house was nice and quiet, we enjoyed the water, pier and fire pit. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. We couldn't ask for anything more. Alot of history with this place, very unique home that we enjoyed. The area is great, the people are extremely friendly. Great little stores. Woolford's had really good french fries. The crab cakes, drinks and oysters at Old Saltys right next door was incredible. We can't recommend it all enough.

Weekend Getaway

Our 4 day's was wonderful and the house is amazing. The teenage boys loved having there own space. They fished and crab. We didn't catch a whole lot becauae the bay was a bit rough. We did enjoy our time and will go back again. If i could make one suggestion since Maryland is know for their crabs, i s maybe some utilities and a table outside for the 🦀 🦀 🦀!

Happy week at the Bank

Our family (7 of us 2 children and 5 adults) decided to try something different this year and to give our grandkids a new adventure. We stayed at the BANK which is unique in itself . Kitchen was well equipped . The rooms were comfortable. The view from the window in the living room is beautiful. The dock is nice to go out whether you crab, fish or just want to sit and take in the view. We spent time outside, using the firepit and grill.

Historic property

The communication with the property manager and check in was very good. The location on the water and view were beautiful. I would have given a higher overall rating but the property could use a lotta love. We rent many places through VRBO and rental agencies, and this rental needs a deep cleaning and decluttering inside, and a good clean up in the yard. Also, My husband and I never rent properties that are pet friendly due to allergies. On the overview of the property it says, no pets; however we picked up several fur balls while we were there.

Just ok.

The property was just ok. We really enjoyed the dock and the fire pit but the house itself wasn’t as homey as I would have liked. I think this rental property would be a better fit for 2 couples staying or a few adults but not families. I didn’t like how the house is divided and my children’s rooms felt like they were in a different house. The kids did fish off the dock and tried to catch crabs which was cool. The property manager was very communicative and quick to respond. I think a little sprucing of upholstery and some new cutlery and pots and pans would be a nice touch.

My husband and I, plus 2 other couples stayed here for a long weekend. The place is bigger than it looks in photos, and it was perfect for us. It’s well equipped with everything you need, the location is great, and the view from the living room bay window and from the fire pit area is breathtaking! We would def recommend this place.

Perfect

House was just perfect. Spacious three bedroom home. Located on the bay. Few houses away from old saltys restaurant. General store not to far away if you needed something. They also sell food so you can get breakfast lunch or dinner there. Dock there was great. Crabbed everyday did pretty good. Fishing was so so. Water is warm so I guess just off. Few blues and king fish. There are small croakers and spot by dock. House had honestly everything you needed. I’ve stayed on the eastern shore many times and this house is a gem. nice home. Great views. Five stars in my book.

Charming Little House

My wife wanted to experience the East shore of the Chesapeake Bay so we went on VRBO to search. After some time we found a very nice house in Fishing Creek on Upper Hooper Island. Karen, the owner of the house, was very responsive and made us feel welcome. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. The house is very clean and well provisioned. The kitchen contains all the utensils needed for cooking, the livingroom has a nice sofa and easy chair for relaxing while watching TV, and each room has at least one ceiling fan. The air conditioning cooled the house very well and was welcomed because of the heat wave we experienced. The living room and each bedroom has its own TV with Roku. I did like that after a long day of relaxing. There is also a dock for you to use on the Bay. My wife and I enjoyed a couple of nights on the dock with a glass of wine and watched the sun set. The Harriet Tubman museum is just a short ride from the house. I highly recommend visiting as it is very well presented. You can also visit Vintage Books and Fine Art in Cambridge. It’s a wonderful bookstore with a very knowledgeable proprietor. The town contains some shops and an art museum and is very charming. So, you are looking for a house on the Eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay I recommend this one. My family and I had a wonderful time
