Beautifully renovated cottage with water views on both sides

This property is beautifully renovated and has everything you could need. Wake up to water views on a quiet peninsula with views on 2 sides of the cottage. It was great that we could have our 2 small dogs with us. Would definitely come again!

What a great place to stay in the fall with our goldendoodle for our anniversary. So cute and charming. Fabulous weather and loved driving to Oxford and returning to St. Michaels on the ferry in 15 minutes. Lots of great eateries and lots of dogs...good for our dog.

Summer on the Bay

The cottage was clean and updated and nicely decorated. We had family staying in cottages nearby so we had access to boats and docks. We did enjoy using the bikes that were available. Overall it was a perfect cottage for our vacation on the Bay.

Anniversary trip

We spent a long weekend at Shipwright Cottage. You can see the water from almost every window. The home is cozy. My only comment would be that if you plan on cooking be sure to bring your spices etc. But there are plenty of places nearby to eat! We love the Eastern Shore and seeing all the waterfowl. You could hear And see the geese every evening.

Perfect for small family

Everything was clean, house was well stocked, and owner was very helpful with her recommendations and responsiveness. We would definitely stay again. My only wish was that it were ON the water, not between two arms of the creek. O, and it’s great to have use of kayaks, bikes. Great spot

cute cottage

basically we were satisfied, but owner should take "screened porch" out of the listing. there is no screening. It is a cute place, and suited our needs. one suggestion re cleaning: there is mold on the ceiling of the full bath.

Lovely Historic Waterman's House

Lovely historic waterman's house on a private lane with access to the river. We thoroughly enjoyed the bikes & kayaks provided (access to the river is via a neighbor's dock, but close & easy). Kitchen was well-stocked, there are puzzles & games for kids & it felt spacious despite it's smaller size. The air conditioning worked great! We would have enjoyed opening the windows on the cooler nights, but only 1-2 were functional. Host was easy to work with & responsive - great, central location.
