About this cottage rental
Located on the Chesapeake Bay side of Tilghman Island, this beautiful two-story, three bedroom cottage is available for rent throughout the year. Our cottages have stunning views of the bay from the second floor bedrooms - and private balcony and/or deck. There are hardwood floors throughout, a full service kitchen with dishwasher and microwave and outdoor gas grill. Enjoy the use of the 3 shared docks, crab traps, the Crab Shack (with wood burning stove, small drink fridge, CD player/radio and DVD player) and a Pergola with seating for 4. The dazzling sunsets over the Bay are extraordinary as though they were choreographed just for us. The chatty waterfoul are fascinating to watch and we get daily visits from a wide array of birds, migrating geese, ducks (and ducklings), osprey and the occasional bald eagle. This is the perfect romantic getaway. An extensive bike trail (the new Michener Byway) extends from Tilghman to St. Michaels and out to Oxford via the Belleview/Oxford Ferry. We are minutes (walking distance) from world class restaurants, kayaking, fishing, skipjack tours, historic St. Michaels, and Antique Shops.

The cottage was perfect. It was very clean and it had everything we needed. It was home base for Plein Air Easton. The views were great. Sunsets and early morning moonsets were spectacular. We grew attached to the osprey family. Hoping the chicks fledge successfully.

Definitely one of my top vacation rental experiences! Jacque and Patrick are an amazing combination of excellent hosts and friendly neighbors, who serve as concierge/guide to your amazing vacation. They were proactive in sharing information prior to arrival, and extremely welcoming once we were on site. They anticipated all of our needs and questions, making sure we saw the fireworks displays around the bay, knew when and where the farmers market was and even where to find the best deals! The kitchen was so well-stocked with good quality plates, dishes, utensils, and appliances. We enjoyed our crab feast, the rafts for floating in the bay, watching the ospreys and the sunsets. We definitely want to return and stay longer next time.

We had a lovey time at Jellyfish Cottage! It was very peaceful and the view is spectacular. St Michaels is minutes away and there is so much to do. We enjoyed the shops, restaurants and the Maritime Museum. Highly recommend!

The homeowner’s attitude was EXTREMELY unprofessional, cruel, and she had no respect for us as clients.
No one in the group enjoyed the experience because of Jacque. In fact, we left a day early because of her verbal abuse, which ruined our whole vacation.
My family and I would NEVER rent any property from her again and perhaps not thru vrbo either.

Was in Tilghman for a Family wedding at Wylder. The property was perfectly situated for the wedding events yet in a quiet area with low to no traffic. The property had all we needed, and candles just in case of power outage from Ophelia. Should we find ourselves on the island again, we will come back.
I tend to over communicate, so Patrick and Jackie were great communicators and always willing to answer our questions.
Thanks for a lovely stay!

This was a wonderful property that we all enjoyed. My kids loved fishing off the dock and checking the crab pots and our crab dinner in the shack was fun and memorable. We’ll definitely return!

Comfortable home right on the water! Host was very nice, provided everything we needed and checked in on us. Close to restaurants and St. Michael's shops, about an hour from Annapolis.
4.7
The views from Jellyfish Cottage, particularly sunset are quite stunning. That being said, the back of the house (shown in the picture) is all windows to enjoy the view so expect to wear your sunglasses indoors in the evening.
We had a bit of trouble finding the place since we arrived after dark (and it is very very dark). This is due to all of the lights being turned out since this is a major bird migration route.
Those two things aside our stay was quite lovely and relaxing. The drive to Cambridge for the race and activities was about 50 minutes, so we just planned accordingly.
4.7
The house is comfortable and well appointed. The windows and deck are perfectly situated to take in the sunsets every night. My wife and I had a wonderful time.

Everything was wonderful. The view, the accommodations, the view 😜. Jacque and Patrick were awesome. We had a great week and will have to be sure to visit again in the future.

We loved our stay at the Jellyfish Cottage! Jacque and Patrick were great host and quick to respond to any questions we had. The view is one of the best views I have seen and you can bike or walk to all the Tilghman Island fun spots. We will be back!

Loved the property, the view was amazing, and it was close to anything and everything we wanted to do. We went with another couple to celebrate my husband's and our good friend's birthdays, as well as our anniversary. This home was even better than we could have imagined--so spacious for joint activities, yet offering privacy with very comfortable bedroom arrangements. The kitchen (always my favorite place in any house) was simply fantastic and extremely well-equipped! Because we were there such a short time we were not able to use the kitchen to full advantage...BUT...this just means we'll have to go back for a longer stay! I would be remiss if I did not mention how wonderful the hosts were. Communication was easy and quick. Again, our short stay precluded meeting our hosts. Yet another reason to come back! Thank you,

I enjoy using the rental Apps, I’d much rather settle in a home for vacation than a hotel. At Jacques house it felt like an extension of home, for instance, most rentals are sparsely equipped, as if you’ll break everything or steal things that are better than your own, so you live without. I appreciated how well stocked the home was for our stay. I also really appreciated interacting with our hosts, very friendly, hospitable and sharing. Looking forward to going again!

Nice, quiet location right on Chesapeake Bay with a terrific view. We had a great birthday weekend and enjoyed the local crabfest, too! The owners were very nice and extremely accommodating.

We absolutely loved staying in the jellyfish house on Tilghman island! The house was super clean, the view spectacular and the owners were lovely. Out experience from the time we arrived till we pulled out was amazing! We can’t wait to go back!
4.7
I almost don’t want to share, places and owners like this bring out the selfish in me. I’d like to keep it all to myself. BEAUTIFUL location and Jacque and Patrick couldn’t be more accommodating! We will be back!

Thank you for opening your home and being so hospitable! We enjoyed our stay and will return!

I normally don't write reviews (although I read them so I probably should write them). In a nutshell we loved our trip to Tilghman's landing. We stayed at the Jellyfish cabin and it was perfect for us. The large window that makes up the whole bayside of the house is gorgeous and it helped us enjoy the scenery even while we were inside. I loved that we could swim right off of the dock and that it was standing depth for my six year old during low tide. The other part we loved was being able to bike the whole island. You have to bike on the main road and there is not any shoulder but lots of other people are biking and traffic drives slowly and infrequently. This made for many fun trips to the country store (great breakfast hoagies). Jacque and Patrick are so open kind and unobtrusive. She was very kind to my kids who were obsessed with their cats and love to ask many, many questions. We had relatively good weather although we could only boat one day because of the wind. Even with that challenge we loved how much there was to do on the island and in St. Michael's. It really was a great way for us to reconnect.
4.7
Our stay was absolutely wonderful!!! If relaxing, peace and quiet with fishing & crabbing is what you are looking for then this is the place for you! Private property at the end of the road! No neighbors around! Breathtaking views and sunsets!!! Great fishing!! The cottage was beautiful!! The colors are so homey that it instantly feels like home. Beautiful views from the deck! Buy some wine from the local stores and enjoy it on the deck. The crab shack would be a great place to gather. Unfortunately our trip was too short and the weather didn't cooperate so we weren't able to take advantage of it....this time. The owners were absolutely fantastic with any questions and so helpful with suggestions of where to eat, shop and buy seafood!!! We are already talking about when we can go back again!

My boyfriend and I were in search of a quiet place to escape the hustle of DC for Memorial Day. Realizing it would be our first vacation together, we decided to try Tilghman Landing because of its waterfront views and welcoming descriptions.
After 3 days of a perfect vacation, we didn't want to leave. The amenities are more than what you expect and both Jacque and Patrick are exceptionally friendly and welcoming people. They went through the trouble of setting up a crab dinner on Saturday night for us and a few other folks--it was a night to remember with great company.
Overall, would highly suggest to anyone to schedule a stay and be prepared for a great visit!
