Best Kept Secret By the Bay

Begin your story on Hooper's Island, surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Honga River on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
This unique island is a "MUST DO" on your bucket list.

Enjoy Maryland crabs, breathtaking vistas and amazing sunsets in the area!

Please Note: This is a no smoking, no pets house. However we love the deer and ducks that visit outside from time to time so this is not a place for hunters. there are amenities for older adults, children 13 and up are welcome.



Hooper's Island has no attractions, Hooper's Island "is the attraction!"
Teens 13 and over are welcome. But please note, this is a very lay back island suited for adults.

Enjoy your stay on Hooper's Island as you surround yourself in this spacious Contemporary Ranch with Bay view across the road. Sit on the enclosed 3 season porch while Ospreys, Blue Herons and Eagles fly by. A perfect place to relax.
Enjoy your own private Dock around the bend on the Riverside. Little Dock is great for crabbing, mooring a small john boat or kayak. or just chilling out with morning coffee or evening wine. It is a short walk from the house. The picnic table on dock is a great place to eat crabs and take in the views. If you have a larger boat, a marina within a 5 minute drive can house your larger boat for a reasonable fee.
Also included is wireless high speed internet, flat screen DishTV and a vintage Auto Return Pool Table in family room for your entertainment.
This is an adult oriented house best suited for adult vacationers. 4 Guest Maximum. Sorry no pets! No smoking facility.

Bring your bike, kayak or boat, easy access with 2 free public ramps close to house.....Larger boats over 18 feet can be moored at nearby Marina, small boats up to 18' can stay on hitch in driveway or small Jon boats can be tied up to dock. Hiking, biking and of course crabbing from your private little dock on the riverside...Kayak rentals, bike rentals and charter boats available nearby.
Early risers, watch the locals bring in their catch of the day. Late risers, enjoy nature at its finest!
De stress and enjoy a quiet and peaceful vacation surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay, Back Creek and the Honga River. Perfect for a romantic getaway, friends getaway, nature enthusiasts, boaters of all kinds, artists, photographers, writers, historians and a bird watchers paradise.
Go Biking and strolling along the scenic bike route. Please note: there is a little wading beach by the causeway on the riverside to sift through the sand for sea glass and arrowhead artifacts, or fish from the point... Just bring your beach chair, fishing pole, beach shoes, towel and a bag to collect your sea treasures.

The nearby town of Cambridge hosts restaurants, entertainment, skip jack cruises, shopping, theaters, art galleries, antiques, etc. A must do is visit the recently built lighthouse at the public marina and to visit the newly built Harriot Tubman museum a short drive away.
And while you are visiting and have time, plan a day trip to the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City. Approx 1.5 hour drive. A great place to visit for a day of swimming, amusements, walking on the boardwalk and dining in local restaurants. Also check out Assateague Island, "the land of the wild pony" It is a 10 minute drive from Ocean City.

If arriving by plane, the closest major airport to Dorchester County, Maryland is Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional cars are available. When on the island...Biking, walking, motorbikes, cars, etc. Tow your own small boat if you drive to the island. It can be docked in a nearby marina down the road... or if small enough, leave on hitch in driveway. A kayak can be stored on your little private dock around the bend on the riverside. Bring your own bikes or rent bikes and kayaks and tour the islands or nearby Black Water Refuge. You can also have boats delivered to your rental for fun on the river and the bay.
This is as good as it gets!!!!

Our house on the island is the "best kept secret" by the bay.
Our house is a NO SMOKING facility
Sorry NO PETS!
13 and over are welcome.

Please note: We are closed from November 1 through March 31 ...Opening day April 1. Book your unique vacation now!

Perfection

Perfectly equipped and clean as a whistle. Only complaint is that the beds had too much foam rubber which made Them too hot for our taste. We had to adjust the air conditioning to cool the house down so that we could sleep. We enjoyed the surroundings and loved exploring. Dining out facilities were great and we had crab almost every dinner. Reading early in the morning on the front porch was wonderful. For peace and quiet, beauty and perfection, good food and and great supplies for at-home cooking, this place is ideal. We hated to leave but we did take crab home with us from the processing facility on the southernmost island below Hoopers. Exploring the marshy areas around us was a wakeup call about life in the area. We love to visit new places and this area was a real surprise. VRBO seems to attract the unusual. We have never been disappointed in their locales. It will be difficult to match this one.

Private and comfortable

We had a lovely time staying at this rental on hoopers island. Everything was in order and clean. We had morning coffee on the screened porch every am and went traveling during the day. In the evenings we were happy to have a cozy space to come home to where we would play our favorite word game on the kitchen table. This is a great rental for a couple of old friends (like us) to each have their own bedrm/bath to sleep and prep in. It would also work for 1 or 2 couples. Joe answered our texts immediately when we had questions. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely home, clean and well appointed. Learned I couldn't play billards on their beautiful table. Was unhappy about the queen size bed, a bit small for me and the matress is too soft but I slept well anyway. Some spices there as well as coffee, thanks. Very quiet and charming environment. Great get away to rest and contiplate the universe.

Quiet, comfortable, convenient fishing vacation

This home was a perfect place for our two couples to go fishing on the river and explore the island. The small dock, located close to the home, was ideal for keeping my 20 ft. center console. The very tidy and pleasantly appointed home is perfect for two couples. Communication with the owner and the local property manager was excellent and prompt. Highly recommended for a low key, eastern shore getaway and/or fishing trip.

This property is great for vacationing and relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and close to the water front. The house is great if you just want to relax and just stay inside. The owner, Joe Pinho is wonderful. He help me reschedule our stay, at no additional charges, when we could not make it due to an illness . Yozefu

Best Kept Secret - For Sure!

We wanted a relaxing getaway and we found it here. The vrbo was clean, comfy and felt like home away from home. The screened in porch and billard room were both used daily. Although the house isn't set on the bay, there were peeks of the bay from the front and back. And the private dock was close enough to walk or drive. The people at Old Salty's and the General Store were welcoming and friendly. The house was fully equipped and although we could have cooked in, we preffered eating out. Since Old Salty's is the only resturant on the Island, we enjoyed exploring the surrounding area and finding different places to eat in Cambridge. And if you enjoy nature, Black Water Refuge was a beautiful drive for seeing wildlife! We saw more bald eagles on our trip than in our entire lifetime. Although we had no control over the weather, and were hit by the biggest coastal storm since 2003, our hosts were very gracious and accomodating while we were stranded on the island. What a fun, exciting, yet scary experience, with new memories made. The one item we missed was a radio for listeni g for the news and of course music. A hearty thank you to our hosts for sharing their vacation home! Their instructions, details and accomodations were perfect for our vacation!

This place is very clean and comfortable. Nice kitchen and living area. Enjoyed the pool table. The community is small and quiet; easy to walk around. High tide and a strong wind can cover the roads so be careful when driving.

The house was perfect for our weekend get away, the location is quiet and peaceful. Being central on Hooper Island was a plus, the general store and Old Saltys were easy to get to.

Best kept secret on the Bay

We would agree. Lovely home for retired travelers in nice neighborhood. Great getaway if you like crabbing and fishing. Not directly on the bay but it’s visible across the street as are lovely sunsets. With the Honga on one side and BY on the other, water is always a stones throw away. We would return.

A great place to relax

A beautiful house, bright and cheery...very cozy. Two bedrooms with bathrooms on opposite sides of the house for privacy. A great kitchen to prepare meals. Enjoyed sitting out on the screened porch, especially when there were breezes. Surrounding scenery is beautiful and peaceful. Would definitely recommend stopping at Emily's Produce to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. Had a great experience and would come again.

Relaxing, remote and peaceful / Good location for Blackwater Wildlife Refuge

A good, basic place to stay. Very nice TV set up. Nice pool table. A small sliver of a water view between homes across the street. Short drive to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge (spectacular! --- lots of bald eagles, great blue heron, egrets, etc.) and Gootee's marina, where you can hire a captain for a nice afternoon private tour of the bay. Bring your own food, including dinners as there are absolutely no good local restaurants. However, the cheesesteaks from the local general store's cafe are really good. If you are into wine, bring your own glass wine glasses as only plastic ones are supplied. Overall, a good place to stay that met our needs.

Third Time and Counting

This was our third trip to this adorable house. It is so perfectly located in the middle of so much that we love to do. We rode bikes for hours through the Blackwater Wildlife Area, went kayaking with Blackwater Adventures, more bike rides around the 2 Hooper's Islands, RAR brewery in Cambridge, and Layton's Chance Winery in Vienna. And last, but not least, we enjoyed great dinners at Old Salty's. Not only is the house perfectly located for easy access to so much adventure, but it is a great place to return to each evening. The house is very comfortable and the screen porch with a swing and rocking chairs is a great place to sit at sunrise or sunset. I can't say enough wonderful things about the owners, always extremely responsive. It is obvious they truly care about visitors having all they need to enjoy their trip. We love this place and will be back soon!! Thank you Priscilla and John.

We first came to Hooper"s Island in 2004, loved it so much that we had a house built across the road from the bay on a little quiet lane. We are into nature, and this is a perfect and safe place to enjoy nature at its finest. Great adult getaway.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

For the peaceful surroundings and lovely vistas. Starry nights and gorgeous sunsets! Quiet walks, beautiful bike rides, crabbing, fishing, boating, reading, bird watching or just sitting on the dock and enjoying an evening wine or morning coffee or a late afternoon glass of wine on your screened in porch or private dock.
Simply close your eyes and listen to the sounds of silence.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

We fell in love with the island and designed our home to fit into the peaceful surroundings. There is so much history in the area.
