The property manager is delightful. Easy to see so much thought went into to provide a vacation sanctuary—well stocked home. Even the outside area had so much to offer—picnic table, recreation goodies, fishing equipment, etc. The best are the beautiful sunrise and sunsets on front porch. I’m going to miss these moments.

our kayaking club enjoyed the property and the amazing location for sea kayaking, completing multiple 10 mile plus paddles and circumnavigations.

This property fit our needs

This was our second stay in 4 months and once again Laura is a super host! Communication is top notch! She is driven to accommodate any requests and her main concern is that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Clean, peaceful and an awesome place to explore or unwind. Convenient to downtown Cambridge yet just around the corner from abundant nature and unmatched beauty!

My family and I had the best vacay ever! The house was amazing so clean and fully stocked with everything you would need! We stayed only a week which was not long but with staying a week we had the option for a fishing trip which my bf loved and so did the kids (we caught so many) we are already making plans to come back and stay longer! Highly recommend for family's! There was so much fun with all the family activities provided and even if you just want a quiet get away you will not be disappointed!! Only tip for renting make sure to do a week or longer you will not want to leave the hospitality is one of a kind the town is one of a kind the experience is one of a kind! Cant wait to bring my family back soon the kids are already asking when we can go back on Mrs. Laura's boat and fish again! Loved seeing all the different wild life and searching for there famous sea glass! Looking foward to seeing y'all soon!!

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 had a wonderful, relaxing stay in Hooper's Island. Laura was the perfect host, the house was lovely and clean, and it's a great location for folks who just want to chill out. Highly recommend!

Laura’s place is a little of piece of heaven. It is located in a very remote area, full of beautiful birds and amazing sunsets. We had a restful time watching osprey flying in and out from her nest right in front of the house and lots of amazingly fresh soft and hard crabs from super friendly locals. Laura is an amazing host who took the time to show us how to use her crab traps and ensured we were well taken care of. The house was super clean and contained all the comforts of home. Thank you Laura for wonderful memories. We will be back. FYI, mom loved her bedroom 😀. Lee family

We loved staying at Laura’s property. It was cozy with tons of spaces to sleep and hang out. The kitchen was fully equipped, there were so many board games available, and the front and back yards were great for relaxing and having coffee or a beer. We also loved the steamed crabs! We would love to come back!

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.

Stayed during the Six Pillars Century. Awesome location for biking and enjoying the water all around. Just a delightful house and the hosts are absolutely beyond accommodating and wonderful!

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!!

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.

The property was perfect for what we were looking for! The house was clean and contained all necessary accessories for experienced and beginners to fish and crab. The neighbors are extremely welcoming along with Laura the property manager. Laura provides an experience of a lifetime in the quaint home! We set on the front porch every evening after a long day on the water and enjoyed the views of the sunset and water. I will definitely return next year!

We had a great experience at this home. The owner was very helpful and left detailed instructions for us, helpful hints about the property, and local info. The house was very clean and well kept. It’s an older home but is well maintained and has all the modern conveniences - plus it is dog friendly which we really appreciated. We were visiting for a small family wedding and didn’t get a chance to spend a lot of time at the house, but we wished we could have spent more time in the back yard. It had a nice fire pit area and lots of fun activities for our teenager. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet weekend away. There is a restaurant within walking distance and a general store not far away which is super convenient. We give this one 5 stars.

We appreciated the quiet get away from DC for a long weekend. We loved the front porch -- nice breeze and view of the water. Laura also arranged to deliver us steamed crabs on Friday night which was a great treat!

We enjoyed our stay. Was quiet and peaceful. Saw and heard several ospreys in the front. Was quite clean upon arrival so less concerned during this pandemic. Laura was very responsive. She also offered and delivered crabs(they were delicious!) for us which was such a unique touch. We also appreciated bait for crabbing she provided for us. Mosquitoes happen to be bad when we went and we appreciated different kinds of bug sprays that were available. We enjoyed exploring the island and nearby areas.

We found the house and property to be great. The house was clean upon our arrival and had plenty of things to do for kids. It was nice to see two "kids corners" with games and other activities. The view from the front porch was wonderful in the evening - between the osprey nest and the sunsets. There were a couple drawbacks, nothing the owners could do, but I would flag for others so they are aware. First, the nearest beach is about 30 mins away in Cambridge - and they don't allow swimming. There are plenty of fishing and boat launch areas on the island, but the couple areas on the island we went to potentially swim were filled with jellyfish. A LOT of jellyfish. Similarly, we weren't able to enjoy the outside as much as we'd hoped because the mosquitoes were really bad as well. Locals mentioned a recent storm at the reason for the surge, but I still wouldn't leave the house without bug spray! Despite the mosquitoes on land, when we went crabbing - all items provided by Laura and John - we didn't have any bug issues. It was a great time and we even caught a few small fish. The day we went out kayaking, we also didn't have any mosquitoes to deal with once we launched. Laura and John were super helpful, very responsive and Laura has notes on everything you could have a question about! The house was comfortable and spacious for our two families (4 adults, 3 dogs, 2 kids). The isolated location is ideal for relaxing, and everyone in town we encountered were very friendly and warm. I'd highly recommend.

Our family was looking to get away from DC and do things we love....fishing, kayaking, bird watching and riding Bikes. Laura and John were fantastic hosts helping with fishing poles you name it. We definitely would stay again. ❤️❤️

Laura was an excellent host and her communication was excellent. Had a wonderful time on the island and appreciated quick drive to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge.

Wonderful place and great Owners. We would definitely rent again

Loved the communication prior to the stay and the support during our stay! Y’all rock!!!

We had a great stay! The cottage was well-stocked, clean, and convenient. Laura was a splendid hostess. We’lol come back, hopefully.

House was clean and cozy. Our group of 10 was very comfortable for race weekend. Now we have three new Ironman!!

We had a wonderful time. Laura and he husband made us feel welcome. They provided us we everything we needed to make our trip awesome. Will definitely rent again

Our stay was nice...owners were very friendly! Thank you!!!

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_

Lovely place to visit and enjoy grandchildren. Mangement supplies games and lots of information. Very clean rental with picnic area and yard play for your dog.

Planned a family trip here, Laura had everything ready for us to include a volleyball net ,crabbing supplies, fishing poles and kids pool. Both Laura and her husband went out of there way to show us around. Property is located on a peaceful dead end road. The much needed family time included Biking, crabbing, volleyball and fishing. Thank you so much for a wonderful time, The Martin Clan

We had a great stay at Laura’s place. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. The house is small, so accommodating 8+ is not really possible, but it has everything you need. The outdoors is really nice. The location is extremely quiet, so great for disconnecting!

This is the place to be if you are looking to relax, unwind and just enjoy some quiet. Wonderful location with views of the water, amazing sunrises and sunsets and nature galore! House has a huge amount of space to stretch out. Has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. We lacked nothing. I stayed during Ironman weekend and it was a great place to remove myself from the craziness of town before race day. Laura and John are amazing hosts and made sure everything was explained and taken care of for my stay. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time with friends and family. Away from city, peaceful and relaxing especially the backyard of the house..had it all.. kids pool, badminton,campfire,cooking a bushel crabs was a first time experience..From the busy day schedule it truly was a break for all of us like back to our "grandparents home" feel..
