My husband and I had rented this property mid-June. If you are a writer, photographer, artist, birder, or traveling with a group to kayak or paddle board this may be the ideal place.There is a lot of solitude for everyone in your group. Bring EVERYTHING you will need. Drum market has a good convenience store type inventory ie milk,eggs,and excellentl crab cakes and you can get ice at the shed on the dock where the boat (Jason II) drops you off. (Only a stones throw from the house.) The kitchen was good size and most pantry type things stocked. Not any room to put groceries as the owner has their things in the cupboards but there is a large kitchen table to put your groceries. Also don’t plan on using the freezer (ample frig space)the owner has their things occupying freezer space. The home is very comfortable including the beds and linens and plenty of towels. I recommend bringing your own pan scrubbing sponge and handiwipes. The scrubbers there were shall we say less than sanitary. There is no outside grill, no screened porch,or any porch, no WiFi ,no TV(owners say it’s spotty but we had none),no cable (some dated children’s DVD’s but not much for the adults) There is only a small computer screen to view these)There are some games but not a complete deck of cards available. There are no beaches, no place to swim, no lawn chairs, (a picnic table but no umbrella) not a good place for eating as the mosquitos and flies will have a banquet as well. We shared a slice of the famous Smith Island cake but not too impressed. The crab co-ops were not in business at the time ( not there fault) Plan on cooking as the only restaurant is in the Drum market and they close around 3-3:30. We did not have the opportunity to visit Ewell (pronounced Youll) as we had a family matter to attend to. Also since one needs to bring absolutely everything, the good news is you can bring your vehicle right up to the boat to load your stuff and then park your vehicle for $3/day. Just check with the visitors office (right side of the maim street) in Crisfield and they’ll direct you where to park. We didn’t bring any bottled water the tap water was very good. And of course the island is dry so you will need to bring your own alcohol. It would be nice if the owners provided some kayaks or paddle boards as a means to have some fun in the water but you must bring your own toys.As the saying goes “ it is what it is.”(A first-aid may be a good idea too)
