Cozy with water view

We had a great stay for a long weekend. The kitchen area was very nice and had what we needed for our morning coffee, snacks, and drinks. Turned was big and cozy. Great bathroom and mirror for doing makeup. Lots of natural light, plus water view! Closet with hangers, full length mirror, and fans. All the things we like to have. Perfect distance to Talbot Street and the marina. We enjoyed walks and riding bikes. The car stayed parked. Def recommend.

Idyllic spot in St Michaels

Lovely weekend - hot spot in more ways than one. Location was great and the suite was lovely. Well maintained and ceiling fan and ac worked great on a very hot weekend. We could walk to everything in St Michaels so the car stayed park for most of our visit. Bill and Leslie were very responsive when I had a question. I would highly recommend.

Mostly Porches Exquisite

Lovely suite with everything we needed. Close proximity to restaurants, shopping, museum and marina. We walked everywhere! Enjoyed afternoon wine on the porch before heading out to dinner. Bill and Leslie (and Buckley too!) were great hosts. St Michaels is a beautiful little town with lots to offer. We would stay here again.

We had a lovely stay. The room was beautiful and perfect for our weekend getaway. It was close to the center of town, which was a walkable distance. Our hosts were extremely responsive and helpful when there was a minor technical glitch and resolved the issue. They gave excellent food and activity recommendations for the area as well.

Perfect

The place was spotless and beautiful. It’s just a few walkable blocks from the center of town. The apartment is very quiet and private. The bed was comfortable. A great place to sleep late. I will stay here again next time I’m in town. The owners are kind and not in your way.

A Perfect Stay!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the getaway at "Mostly Porches". It was absolutely perfect from the time I booked to return the keys to the lock-box at departure. The place was spotless, great location of walking everywhere, communication superb, and many recommendations for dining and entertainment. A five (5) star! We look forward to returning in the near future. Thank you Bill & Leslie:)

About the host

Hosted by Bill Morrison

Bill and Leslie have 2 adult sons and 3 grandchildren. Bill recently retired from a career in biotechnology. Leslie is a family administrator and chef extraordinaire. Both share a passion for sailing on the Chesapeake. In his spare time, Bill is a USCG Captain on the local Harbor Shuttle, volunteer for Christmas in St. Michaels charity, and a member of the Finance Committee at the Miles River Yacht Club. Leslie organizes the "Tour of Homes" for Christmas in St. Michaels, and is an active volunteer in several other local organizations.

Why they chose this property

We first sailed to Saint Michaels in the late-70s and were immediately attracted to the maritime ambiance and history of this unique community. Careers pulled us away from the area, but as we approached retirement, we invested in a "weekender" with a choice location near the harbor. We worked with a local architect to craft our vision of a low-country home that blended with, and enhanced the neighborhood. In 2018 we moved into our new home and have enjoyed putting the finishing touches on it since then. In late 2022 we obtained a license from Talbot County to rent the adjoining suite. We look forward to hosting couples from near and far, so they too can learn about and enjoy this maritime community.

What makes this property unique

Walk around this historic maritime community. Relax in our pubs and restaurants. Visit the rum distillery and brewery just 2 blocks away. Stroll along the harbor and soak in the view of local waterman workboats, pleasure craft, sailboats, and yachts that often stop in St. Michaels while transiting up and down the East Coast. Engage with the locals and your fellow tourists, and take home stories that will be repeated again and again with family and friends.
