About this property

Waterfront Oyster Farmhouse Built 2018 with Pool/Fence and Dock-23 private acres

Relax and absorb the beauty of living on the water at our 23 acre waterfront property on Harris Creek, in between historic St. Michaels and charming Tilghman Island. Our family has lived on this body of water for 10 generations and we would love to share the ambience with your family or group of friends.

The house was designed by DC architect, Richard Leggin and completed in October 2018 with 5,000 sq. ft. of awesome living space. There is a new 140 ft. dock and an outdoor pool with fence and tanning ledge installed October 2022. A 5 acre oyster aquaculture lease is located in the water cove behind the house. Guests of all ages enjoy fishing/crabbing/swimming off of the dock and beach area with a spacious lawn for croquet , cornhole, lawn golf, and fire pit. You may bring your own boat (or rent a boat at Tilghman Marina) to tie up at our dock. We invite you to observe the operations of our family owned oyster business, Harris Creek Oyster Company, and perhaps sample the product! Oysters are an ecological and sustainable product that benefit the Chesapeake Bay.

The farmhouse has a spacious/open floor plan with adjacent breezeway and detached garage/exercise room and full bath. There is a Master bedroom wing on the main floor with an additional master suite located on 2nd floor. The bathrooms have all glass shower doors and tile. The kitchen is bright and spacious with an 8 ft. quartz island, porcelain tile, 2 ovens, farm sink and wine/coffee bar. Family/TV room has granite wet bar. 2nd floor observation deck provides wide views of Harris Creek. There are 2 fireplaces (wood and gas) and entire back of house is encompassed by a 90 ft. brick and bluestone porch. Wake up to the sounds of watermen catching crabs for your evening dining pleasure at home or at any of the fabulous restaurants in St. Michaels or Tilghman Island. Explore the area with bikes and kayaks that are provided. Enjoy the evening with after dinner S’mores at our fire pit.

Gorgeous home in a great location!

My husband and I, our 18-year-old son, my mother, and our Golden Retriever had a wonderful, relaxing week at this beautiful property. Lovely, peaceful location between St. Michaels and Tilghman Island. Kitchen was equipped with everything you’d need. Bedrooms were very private and quiet. Plenty of space to hang out and relax; we mostly spent time on the screened porch and by/in the pool. Communication with the owners was a breeze, and their availability if we had any questions or issues (we didn’t) was appreciated. We’ve been to the area several times and would gladly book this property again. Although we had a smaller group than we’d originally planned, this house could comfortably accommodate a larger family or group. Bonus: seeing herons, osprey, and bald eagles every day.

Friends Vacation

This was a return visit for me. Such an amazing home and the location is peaceful and quiet. It was the first time for my friends to visit the town of St. Michaels and they loved it. We all agreed we look forward to coming back again. The owners are very friendly and responsive to any questions. Highly recommend this home for your family get together.

Wedding weekend!

Arrived on a Thursday for our daughter’s wedding weekend at the nearby CBMM. Upon arriving at the property for our stay with extended family members, we were so pleased with the beautiful accommodations! The house was sparkling clean and we were greeted with a small gift from the homeowners, which was very thoughtful! While our weekend was filled with wedding activities, it was so nice to return to this beautiful home for some quiet relaxation. The home offers multiple social areas, each with comfortable seating, and we especially enjoyed the view from the screened in porch! The kitchen, as well as the entire house, was stocked with everything we could possibly need. We unfortunately did not have time to enjoy the pool but it looked clean and inviting. We will definitely return to this home when we are back in St. Michael’s! ❤️

Oyster Farm House

The Oyster Farm House is a magnificent property in a beautiful setting on Harris Creek. Great kitchen, comfortable sitting rooms, inviting porches, screened and open. Very well furnished and provisioned with indoor and outdoor games, bikes etc. Conveniently located near biking, hiking, water activities and quaint Eastern Shore towns. Wonderful for a reunion of 4 long time couple friends.

Family vacation

We agree with so many of the previous renters in their descriptions of the home. It was a step above anywhere else we have stayed. It was the perfect location to spend time as a family. Lots of privacy and many things to do on the property. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, and we still can't get over how well stocked the kitchen was with every spice imaginable as well as supplies. We had a wonderful vacation at a beautiful home!

Eastern Shore perfection!

This is a truly unique and beautiful property. We spent four nights over Labor Day weekend and left wishing that we had many more. All 23 acres are beautifully maintained, and they provide a true feeling of tranquility. We enjoyed exploring the property with our dog, and there was plenty of lawn area for soccer, frisbee, football etc. The pool area and new deck are fantastic and the kids spent the majority of our trip swimming endlessly. Last but not least, the wonderful Eastern Shore coastline. There isn't much better than having your morning coffee or evening beverage of choice while looking out at that coastline. The farmhouse is beautifully maintained and very spacious. We had 7 people including 3 kids, and we never felt on top of each other at all. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need and we cooked dinner there each night. All the bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathrooms are massive as well. All-in-all, we couldn't have spent a better long weekend on the Eastern Shore. We made great memories and we hope to return next summer as well!

A lovely stay on the Eastern Shore

Our three generation family had a most lovely stay. The house was immaculate and so comfortably furnished. There was everything we could have possibly needed! Kristin was prompt with her responses to our questions and provided great information on local restaurants. We hired her son for an evening boat ride. It was great leaving from the dock on the property. We learned so much about oyster farming. We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one definitely ranked as one of the top ones! Highly recommended.

Stunning, Tranquil, Active, Revitalizing, Hospitable....

Just a few words to describe our family vacation at this remarkable property. A review cannot provide the experience of driving through St. Michaels passing the Inn at Perry Cabin, then turning onto the single lane road towards the property. Once you emerge from the trees, the view is the impressive and picturesque house surrounded by vast fields of soybeans. Plenty of prior reviews have described the house and its numerous amenities in which we absolutely 100% agree. The modern kitchen and bathrooms were complimented by the charm and warmth of the rest of the house. Kristen and Jim answered any question and provided everything that you could possibly need or want on a vacation. Bikes, kayaks, fishing/crabbing dock, lawn games, grill/burner, fully stocked kitchen and an amazing house/property where everyone can be together or spread out for some downtime. Aside from all of the above, it is a perfect location for going to St Michaels or Tilghman Island. We enjoyed biking to both St Michaels and Tilghman Island, golfing at Perry Links and had the opportunity to have a great day fishing with on a charter out of Tilghman Island. This review is only a taste of the fantastic time our family (and 19 year old family cat) enjoyed at this amazing home. Our family has permenantly traded in our traditional South Jersey beach vacation and all of its annoyances for the relaxing yet active Eastern Shore lifestyle. Thanks!

Best rental I’ve ever been in!

This property is everything it says and more. The home is gorgeous and was clearly built for someone, not as a rental. Stocked with everything you could need and lovely extra touches like fresh flowers and a s’mores kit! It was a beautiful and relaxing week, quiet and fun and lots of wildlife wandering about. I’ve never stayed in such a nice rental either through the self/share sites or a company.

A Seaside Paradise on the Chesapeake!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming house on the Chesapeake Bay, and it was perfect! We were captivated by the breathtaking views and the tranquil atmosphere. The house itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, and well laid out. The spacious living areas provided plenty of room for our family to relax and unwind, while the well-equipped kitchen allowed us to prepare delicious meals with ease. One of the highlights of our stay was the boat tour that left from the pier just in the back of the house. The location of the property was ideal for accessing the restaurants and sites both in St. Michael and in Tilghman. We must mention the exceptional hospitality we experienced from the owners. They were incredibly attentive, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. Their recommendations for local attractions and dining options were spot-on, and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We recommend this VRBO rental for anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway on the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

Wonderful property for a family or friends get away! The home is large with an open plan layout that is nicely furnished with a well appointed large kitchen. We enjoyed the pool, kayaking, crabbing of the dock ,relaxing on the deck , s’mores at the fire pit and off course all of the great MD seafood! Would definitely book again next year! Great time for everyone including our dogs . Kristen, the owner was extremely accommodating and quick to respond.

Fantastic!

The Wittman house was by far the best we’ve ever rented. Our family of adults gathered to celebrate my son’s 40th birthday and it was the perfect spot for the event — kayaks, a fire pit, ladder golf, croquet, and much more was graciously made available to us. There is plenty to do (and eat) in the area but it was hard to leave the house! It has so much beautiful space and is more well equipped than my own home. In their manual, the owners encouraged us to enjoy ourselves and we certainly did. Our sincere thanks!

Excellent Visit

My family and I spent two weeks at this wonderful property. The house was quite spacious and very comfortable. The owners checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. A special part of the property was a separate small house with extensive exercise equipment which we put to good use. Also there were two kayaks provided which we also used a lot. Finally we were able to watch while one of the owners and his son worked in the bay with their oyster crates. They explained everything they were doing and to top it off, provided us with oysters! I highly recommend this property!

Perfect week on the Eastern Shore!

Kristen and Jim’s home was the perfect location for our family vacation. We enjoyed everything about the property: the grounds, the views, the time on the water, the INCREDIBLE kitchen, really every beautiful room… we could go on about each amenity with its own rave review. As for the hosts, they were communicative, helpful and gracious; and Captain Alex was a fun and knowledgeable local steward during the boat excursions. The access to local seafood was also ideal; we highly recommend Wittman Wharf for fresh oysters and Maryland crabs! We couldn’t have asked for a better week, and hope to return again.
