About this property

"Point of View" Waterfront cottage with panoramic views on Tilghman Island

The Tilghman Island “Point of View” is a waterfront property located on Tilghman Island, with a 270-degree water view overlooking both Dogwood Harbor and Harris Creek. Step back in time to experience a slower, friendlier lifestyle while immersed in the waterman’s way of life. Steeped in history going back to the earliest settlements in North America, Tilghman Island is an authentic waterman’s village. Perfectly situated on the Maryland crab and oyster trail, the Island is known for serving up some of the most delicious seafood in the country. Island attractions include restaurants, shops, parks and a museum all set in the beautiful natural habitat of the Chesapeake. The “Point of View” is a beautiful two-bedroom waterfront cottage, recently renovated and fully furnished in coastal decor. Experience incredible, panoramic sunrises and sunsets, and chillingly beautiful moon rises over the Chesapeake Bay and Choptank River basin from the yard or balcony. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the local waterman setting out and returning with their days’ catch of crabs, oysters, clams and fish. Walk or kayak the shoreline searching for sea glass treasures and observing the local wildlife (bald eagles, osprey, pelicans, loons, geese, cormorants, wild turkeys and so much more – this is a Birder’s paradise). Take a stroll or ride a bike to Island attractions including all restaurants and shops. Try your luck at catching your own seafood by casting a fishing rod or dropping a crab line from our private dock. The Point of View is located within walking distance to the launch point of a boat trip to the Poplar Island’s Wildlife Sanctuary and The Tilghman Island Watermen’s Museum. Arrive by boat or car – and if you arrive by car, you will come over the uniquely beautiful Tilghman Island draw bridge. Kayaks and bicycles provided.

Fabolous Gem!

Our stay was amazing! Words cannot say enough! The view is magical. We enjoyed coffee on the porch to watch the sunrise and the crab/oyster boats going in and out. Maria, is a wonderful and very thoughtful host. At her recommendation, we went to the free wine tasting at the General Store at the end of the street. We met several local residents who could not be more kind and fun to talk with. We can't wait to come back and stay again.

Anniversary Retreat

The Point of View was a wonderful location! My wife continues to rave about this place with friends. We loved the view, the cool breezes on hot days, the daily entertainment from a variety of birds: osprey, great blue heron, white heron, egrets, etc. We plan to definitely go back. Maria, the hostess was very helpful. She surprised us with a welcome basket of wine and snacks and well wishes for our anniversary. You've got to check out The Country Store!!

Wonderful

“Point of View” waterfront cottage did not disappoint. In fact, it was beyond expectations. Maria’s (the host) personal touches made the cottage feel like home. We used “Point of View” as overflow for a family reunion we were having. It is perfectly situated for easy walking to anything you need or want to do on Tilghman Island. The views from the cottage are amazing. Being on the entrance to Dogwood Harbor provides you with a real time experience of what a waterman’s life is truly all about.

Quiet Respite

Short stay, relaxing, enjoying reading by serene river, watching the seabirds. Outside dining with all the dog friendly Tilghman Island restaurants was a major plus. Best crab dishes we’ve eaten in years. The house was very clean and comfortable, with wonderful natural light. The owners were quick and responsive to any request. St. Michael’s is 20 minute drive. The Maritime Museum in St. Michael’s was worth the trip with exceptional history supplied. All you can eat crab, was offered in Chesapeake Landing Restaurant, and other crab dishes were delicious. Thanks to Maria, and would return in the future with bicycles.

Just WOW! We loved it!

Thank you so much for our wonderful time at the Point of View. We were so comfortable we didn’t want to ever leave – it was clean and comfortable. The home feels brand new because it has been renovated very recently. The furniture and kitchen are brand new and perfect for the space. The water views are incredible in every direction – we watched stunning sunrises (and moon rises!) to the east, we watched the awesome sunsets to the west and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the action in Dogwood Harbor to the south. Our hosts were very responsive and brimming with local information that they readily shared. We highly recommend Point of View and we will be going back as soon as we can.
