Best Kept Secret By the Bay

Begin your story on Hooper's Island, surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Honga River on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
This unique island is a "MUST DO" on your bucket list.

Enjoy Maryland crabs, breathtaking vistas and amazing sunsets in the area!

Please Note: This is a no smoking, no pets house. However we love the deer and ducks that visit outside from time to time so this is not a place for hunters. there are amenities for older adults, children 13 and up are welcome.



Hooper's Island has no attractions, Hooper's Island "is the attraction!"
Teens 13 and over are welcome. But please note, this is a very lay back island suited for adults.

Enjoy your stay on Hooper's Island as you surround yourself in this spacious Contemporary Ranch with Bay view across the road. Sit on the enclosed 3 season porch while Ospreys, Blue Herons and Eagles fly by. A perfect place to relax.
Enjoy your own private Dock around the bend on the Riverside. Little Dock is great for crabbing, mooring a small john boat or kayak. or just chilling out with morning coffee or evening wine. It is a short walk from the house. The picnic table on dock is a great place to eat crabs and take in the views. If you have a larger boat, a marina within a 5 minute drive can house your larger boat for a reasonable fee.
Also included is wireless high speed internet, flat screen DishTV and a vintage Auto Return Pool Table in family room for your entertainment.
This is an adult oriented house best suited for adult vacationers. 4 Guest Maximum. Sorry no pets! No smoking facility.

Go Biking and strolling along the scenic bike route. Please note: there is a little wading beach by the causeway on the riverside to sift through the sand for sea glass and arrowhead artifacts, or fish from the point... Just bring your beach chair, fishing pole, beach shoes, towel and a bag to collect your sea treasures.

The nearby town of Cambridge hosts restaurants, entertainment, skip jack cruises, shopping, theaters, art galleries, antiques, etc. A must do is visit the recently built lighthouse at the public marina and to visit the newly built Harriot Tubman museum a short drive away.
And while you are visiting and have time, plan a day trip to the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City. Approx 1.5 hour drive. A great place to visit for a day of swimming, amusements, walking on the boardwalk and dining in local restaurants. Also check out Assateague Island, "the land of the wild pony" It is a 10 minute drive from Ocean City.

If arriving by plane, the closest major airport to Dorchester County, Maryland is Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional cars are available. When on the island...Biking, walking, motorbikes, cars, etc. Tow your own small boat if you drive to the island. It can be docked in a nearby marina down the road... or if small enough, leave on hitch in driveway. A kayak can be stored on your little private dock around the bend on the riverside. Bring your own bikes or rent bikes and kayaks and tour the islands or nearby Black Water Refuge. You can also have boats delivered to your rental for fun on the river and the bay.
