Enjoy some tranquil island living on the Chesapeake Bay in a beautiful Waterview beach house and is located in a small Waterview town. This fully and newly renovated, cape style, Bayview home is on 3 acres, where you can enjoy playing horseshoes, volleyball, tether ball, corn hole, and other outdoor games!! Enjoy
cookouts on our gas BBQ grill. Also have a Fire Pit!!
On the kitchen table I have directions where to get local seafood only 3 minutes from the house!! Seafood including, Many different kinds of fish, hard crabs, soft crabs, Oysters, and picked crab meat!
Watch our commercial crabbers come in with their catch as you learn of their lively hood. If you like to cook the crabs yourself you can have fun cooking them right in the backyard on our homemade steaming pot! Or we can have them delivered to the house already cooked! Fishing and crabbing is plentiful on the island. Bring your boat and enjoy the Chesapeake and Honga River!! There is a FREE BOAT RAMP 1 Minute from the house!!
We have several seafood plants which offer fresh steamed crabs, fresh picked crab meat and softcrabs. That's if you would rather not cook them yourselves. Don’t forget OLD SALTYS RESTAURANT which is 1 minute from the house! It is Famous for the Prime rib n seafood dinners and specialty crab cakes!! Also American Cuisine foods! Old Saltys has been in many magazines!! The gift shop is so interesting with local handcrafted items!
We are located in the best hunting and rockfish areas of North America. Also available duck and deer hunting properties. This Island Waterfront Community offers kayaking to the bird sanctuary. With binaculars you can see the Bald Eagles seahawks,Osprey, herons, swans, pelicans and other rare birds. Explore the shorelines and coves for indian artifacts, shells and sea glass.
If you would like to rent paddleboats , kayaks, bikes, or jetskis, “Blackwater paddles and peddles “ would be the way to go! She is located near the famous "Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge," an outdoor lovers dream!
If you own your boat and looking for a place to store it, " PL Jones Boatyard "is only 1 minute from The house!!They will be happy to rent you a slip for a week or weekend. They have VERY REASONABLE PRICES! There is also plenty of room to keep it in the yard at the Bayview home, then push it overboard at our FREE boat ramp
One minute from the house.!!

Bike the island. Ride to Old Salty's for lunch, best known for their fresh seafood, homemade rolls and mile high meringe pies! The dining room has beautiful waterviews while eating!! In the back get to know the locals at the "boat shaped" bar. You can hear them talk about the catch of the day and their experiences on the boat.
. The roads are flat and scenic, enjoyable to ride or walk your dog. Take a swim on our small public beach which is 2 minute drive , as you look for arrowheads, or drive 70 minutes to the famous Ocean City Boardwalk and beach. Spend the day swimming in the ocean and enjoy the shops, restaurants,mini golf amusement parks and fine foods they have to offer.

In my rental I have about 100 flyers/brochures of activities for every vacation experience! Drive 15 minutes to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, drive around the refuge, stop and do the nature walks and bike trails. Bird watching is very popular here, where bald eagles thrive.
Stop in the visitor centers gift shop and information center see the stuffed wild animals on display. And look at the live Web Cam of eagles nesting their young.
At the Bayview we have a live Osprey Nest in the front yard! Each year we have babies which you can clearly see from front porch or out upstairs windows! Bring your binoculars!!!
The setting and solitude is exceptional, as you take in the tranquil views of the Chesapeake Bay. Drink your Am. coffee on the front porch, where in the evening you have the perfect 'open view' of the sunsets over the Bay! When it's time to retire in the evening curl up with a good book on our fully lit window seats.
Spending the evening out? Cambridge offers an array of dining choices, movie theaters, or the Hyatt Chesapeake for dinner, golfing or spa visits. Visit the quaint towns of St. Michaels,and Oxford. Our Bayview Home is the perfect relaxing family getaway, retreat,vacation or whatever the occasion hope to see you here for your vacation fun!!!

A great place on Hoopers Island
A wonderful long weekend getaway on Hoopers Island--close to the bay and to the attractions of the island. Laura is a great host who ensured we had everything we needed for our stay--a roomy house with a great screened in gazebo and plenty of activities for our elementary school aged kids. Highly recommend it!

Such a great stay
We could not have had a better experience renting this beautiful home. We were looking for a large home on a quaint Island and we got just that. Hoopers Island has an immeasurable charm--the General Store, Old Salty's crab cakes, the single lane road where everyone waves--we couldn't have asked for more. Laura was so accommodating and was very responsive both during the booking process and at check in.

Everything was great! Beautiful and peace and quiet. Airy house that was equipped with everything we needed. The owners got fresh crabs for us and came by to show us how to cook them. Could not ask for a better stay.

Fantastic Mini-Getaway
Husband and I took a short trip during the pandemic to recharge. The house was clean and comfortable. The owners were attentive, responsive, and friendly. They went out of their way to place an order of crabs and brought them to us to enjoy. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this place to friends.

quiet get away
The location was very laid back and relaxing. The hosts were also very helpful and worked to make sure we had a great experience and have a huge crab feast in the back yard. We also loved the outside shower and the osprey chick nesting in the front yard. The house was rather small, so if you have a big party be prepared to enjoy time outdoors. Easy walk to Salty's restaurant.

Delightful family vacation
We had a lovely time at Bayview. The house was well stocked and worked well for my husband and I and our 8 children. The children loved the pool, games and toys there. John and Laura were wonderful hosts, making sure we had a nice time. The bushel of frwsh steamed crabs they delivered one evening was a special treat. Thanks for the wonderful place and experience, we hope to return someday_

SUNSET OVER THE BAY AT ITS BEST!
This was one of the best vacations we've ever had. The place is amazing and Laura had thought of everything, plus some. We never expected so much and it was just great. This was our first VRBO experience and we already have another lined up in a nearby State, but the Bayview Home has set the standard for us and it will be hard to top it. Thanks for a wonderful time!

Destination Wedding on Hooper's Island
Everything was very clean, well-stocked and comfortable. We would have liked more double beds for couples, but space was limited so that's probably not possible. The half bath was in the same room as one twin bed, so in order to give privacy to guests using that bathroom, no one slept in that bed. Over all, our experience was very pleasant and we would rent there again if the occasion arose. Landlady was especially helpful and accommodating!

Fantastic bay view Getaway
Fresh oysters, lump crabmeat, fire pit, sunsets, sea glass hunting, fishing, and a comfy, cozy super clean home to relax in. Laura and John are hosts extraordinaire! John had the fire pit set up and brought us fresh oysters. Laura dropped off crabmeat and a lighter. We found the house very warm and inviting. Our two dogs loved the big yard to explore and play fetch. We want to return when it’s warmer. Great place!!

Wonderful Stay on the Bay
We can’t say enough great things about our stay. Laura was a wonderful host and has thought of every possible detail. The property was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you could need. All the seating and beds were comfortable. AC worked great, TV has plenty of channels and streaming. All the bathrooms were very clean and operational. The screen porch was a wonderful location for meals! The location is very close to many water activities but the best part for us was the peace and quiet. Most of the time all we could hear was the breeze. Laura even arranged to deliver us some crabs!! We’ll look forward to staying again!

Sweet family getaway
My family (4 adults, 1 teen and 2 children) loved our stay! The house was clean and cozy. I actually loved it a lot more in person than when I saw the pictures! Inside the bedrooms were comfortable, the living room was stocked with toys, games and cute like puzzles. Outside was great! The large picnic table, tree swing and front porch made for amazing memories. Finally, the levers owners were amazing!!! Communication was fantastic and the fishing trip offered was the best I’ve ever been on. We were catching fish 2 at a time. Highly recommend a low key stay in this sweet home.

We love Fishing Creek !
This house was perfect for our trip to Hoopers Island. We were in town for the Bluegrass Festival at Old Salty’s so the location could not have been more perfect. The house has every possible thing you could need for your stay. Laura is extremely responsive and helpful. She has extensive knowledge of the area and has many great recommendations for things to do and see. The screened in area out front was perfect for spending time with our pets and eating. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and drinking coffee while we watched the wildlife, which is abundant in the area. The general store is 1 mile away, which was easily accessible via bicycle. There are a lot of outdoor activities in the area. I would highly recommend this home and the host!

Family Reunion
We had a fabulous time! Five adults and five children...something for everyone thanks to the owner. There are toys and games for the kids, swimming, equipment for fishing and crabbing, beach access, and quite evenings for the adults. The kids had great fun crab fishing and we had a bushel of crabs for dinner. We all slept like babies thanks to the cool, fresh night air and the quite area. The owners went out of their way to assist in making our experience one everyone enjoyed. Lots of wildlife! Oh, make sure you take bug spray…the mosquitos get a little aggressive if you are outside at dusk. Thanks for a wonderful experience! We will definitely return.

Hooper Island Getaway
Unfortunately we were only able to stay for a few nights but the time we were there was very enjoyable. Laura is definitely one of the best hosts you can imagine. She went above and beyond making our stay very enjoyable. She provided almost everything needed for fishing and crabbing. Whether it was the crab pots, fishing polls, bait and even some very detailed instructions! The only thing you'll need to do is get the licenses which are available at the local general store. Laura provided us with local contacts to purchase crabs as we needed a lot for a little family get together that we were having. We also ended up steaming the crabs ourselves and she went above beyond finding us a steamer at the last moment. The house comes with the perfect outside eating area. It has lights, a fan and most importantly its screened! The Mosquitoes on Hooper's Island are no joke and the General store even sells shirts calling them the Hooper's Island Air Force! If you are bringing kids, the rental provides TONS of games and outside activities for them to do. We had a great time playing the customized Dorchester County Monopoly game. Thanks again Laura for the great stay!
