We had a great experience. It feels very safe and homey. We enjoyed walking around the property and taking the kayaks out. Tiffany at the dock was always helpful, and both Mary and Billy came by to talk to us. We will be back!

Wat a lovely little cottage. Everything you need for a short or long stay. I wish we had more time to take advantage of all of the amenities available. The locals towns are so quaint. It was so dark at night, we were able to see stars, planets and satellites!

A very pleasant couple and their daughter. They left the cabin so neat I could hardly tell they were there. Would love to have them back anytime. Remember a weekly rental comes with a voucher for a free river cruise.

We made last minute plans and were happy with our decision to stay at Mary’s place. It was big enough for our family including our two teenage daughters. The location is quiet and peaceful. The home was clean and had everything we needed!

Fishing Vacation

We were looking for a rental property near a marina for a fishing vacation and this met our needs perfectly. This house is just a few steps away from boat slips, boat ramp and tackle shop with fuel. The owners are very nice and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to make the most of our stay. We will definitely make a return trip! Note: If the cabin seems small for anyone, check out the house (Sailor’s Rest). We were given a tour of the property before we left. It’s a very spacious 4 bedroom house with a private dock. We recommend this place for anyone looking for a vacation spot where you can bring your boat. If you don’t have a boat, you can charter with Captain Billy!

Adorable Tiny Cottage

Gull Cottage was very cute and had all we needed. Capt. Billy and Mary were available to answer questions and provide recommendations. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend anyone to stay. We stayed two nights for a trip to see Tangier Island. Convenient location for area attractions.

Relaxing Recharging Vacation

The cabin was exactly as listed, adorable. The room was immaculate and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The area is very quiet which is exactly what we needed and wanted. There are two cute wineries very close for a rainy day. Being right in a marina is perfect for crabbing right outside your door. I would definitely return and recommend.

Perfect Get Away

We had a wonderful short stay to celebrate a birthday. The location was great and being able to dock our boat and come and go as we please on the water was wonderful. Lots of options to take boats out to lunch and dinner. Hosts were wonderful and always accessible if needed. Cabin well stocked and perfect for our family of 4 with 2 small kids - they loved the loft area to sleep. Will be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Pipkin -

Host profile image
We own and operate a marina, charter fishing service and vacation rentals. Our family has been blessed to live here since 1985. It’s quite simply our life. And a good life it is, that we are privileged to share with you. We love our little corner of the world and our business allows us live and work and play on our beloved Chesapeake Bay

Why they chose this property

We had so many inquiries about where to stay from our customers, we decided to have these lovely cottages built to meet the needs of our regular clientele. It was a greater need than we realized. In addition to fishing customers we now have families, honeymooners and regular folks like you and me longing for the Chesapeake Bay. They come for fun in the sun, fishing and water sports or just the peace and tranquility of being ….. on the Bay.

What makes this property unique

This is the perfect place for the action packed vacation. Situated right on the Chesapeake Bay and the Inter-coastal Waterway puts you right on top of the best fishing and sailing in the region. Bring your jet ski, small water craft and use our deep water ramp. Book a fishing charter or dinner cruise (on site) to fine waterfront dining. Witness glorious sunrises and restful sunsets. Sparkling fields of fireflies at twilight. The sounds of the sea birds. Or just relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of a lovely place not yet discovered by most of the world.
