Beautiful property!

So beautiful and peaceful, one of the nicest vacations we've had in awhile. It's really kind of the middle of nowhere so if that isn't your vibe, then you may not like it, but we really enjoyed our stay. Michelle was super easy to communicate with also and very helpful with the many questions I had beforehand.

A sweet and scenic getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Oyster so much! Honestly there wasn’t much that this little bungalow didn’t have! It was slightly cold out first couple days, we spent them in the sunroom reading, and out in the living room watching the fire crackle. We did a lot of meals here instead of eating out, everything is about 20-30 mins out, so I do suggest arriving with the basics As far as foods, there’s a food lion about 10ish mins away if you wanna stop before you get there. We did drop the crab pots trying to catch some crabs, but it’s early April and had no luck, same for fishing. We also enjoyed several different thrift stores in this area. We did decide to treat our selfs to one nice meal out during our stay, at the tides inn, I have to say, it was one of our best meals EVER. Our server CeCe was knowledgeable and attentive. I can’t suggest this place more for a nice romantic dinner out. It was just me and my boyfriend who stayed here at the lazy oyster, but it would be so well suited for a family as well. Plenty of rooms to spread out, Even a play set up front of the property. Once the weather warmed up we went for a hike to fossil beach, which is about an hour from the residence, the hike was easy and scenic, the beach was clean and unique. If you like wildlife and the water definitely check it out! All in all, this was a wonderful little get away. Would definitely stay again!

Location, location, location (and so much more)

The property exceeded expectations and proved to be the perfect spot for relaxing and adventuring over a long Thanksgiving weekend. At first sight the word that came to mind was ‘magical.’ Tucked next to a water cul-de-sac, the views are spectacular. Equally as wonderful, our hosts paved the way for nearly any activity. There are boats, fishing rods, a croquet set, board games, a hot tub, and more. We gathered each day in the “Florida room” to talk and read. We had daily excursions to various places tucked here and there, and all within easy drives. We slept on comfy beds, and all-in-all felt spoiled, which in retrospect is just what I needed. As icing on the cake, Little Wicomico is dog-centric and since we have two, they, and us were very happy. The plan is to return and in case it’s not clear by now, I can’t wait! Thank you, Arlene, for “our” top-notch vacation paradise, as well as for your kindness and stellar communication. We left this morning with gratitude.

Beautiful Property!

Wonderful accommodations and picture-perfect setting. Our host, Arlene, was incredibly kind and responsive. The house and grounds are appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was equipped with spices and condiments, there were plenty of towels and they even had crab pots and canoes for outdoor fun. We take a long weekend at this time each year but we usually go to the Outer Banks. This year we decided to try Heathsville and we were so glad we did. The surrounding towns are all charming, we had a wonderful dinner at Horn Harbor Restaurant, and found lots of little shops and thrift stores to fill our days. We will be back Arlene, thanks again for your hospitality! Mark and Trish Clark, Rob and Allison Kennard

Relaxing, peaceful retreat Perfect for disconnecting

My family of 3 recently stayed for a long weekend Thursday- Sunday. It was exactly what we were looking for and needed. We wanted somewhere remote we could enjoy, disconnect, have fun, and make memories as a family. The house is very comfortable and welcoming, it’s very easy to feel at home and relaxed. Everything you need is provided and labeled! We purposefully wanted a vacation that encouraged us to slow down but that by no means meant we were bored. There was so much to do, we had a blast all weekend! Sitting outside and listening to nature and the birdsong is such a good reset, there were many fish jumping and we even spotted a few river otters. Arlene was wonderful and helpful from the moment I contacted her with questions about the house! During our stay she answered right away as questions popped up. She also provided a ton of info before arrival that was greatly appreciated. Checking out was easy. Vir-mar beach is close by and a great place to visit and spend some time. Other than that and the grocery store we did not leave the property. We had such a great time and are looking forward to returning in the near future. Thank you Arlene for sharing this beautiful space with our family 😊

Quiet girls trip

We wanted a fun and low key weekend away and this was great. There were just three of us so we had lots of space and really enjoyed the water view, kayaks, and eating out on the deck. Took the ferry out to Tangier one day and went to a nearby vineyard and Kilmarnock.

August in Ophelia!

Very pleasant stay! Couldn't be any closer to the water, and it is just a 5 mile paddle to the bay! Even though the neighbors were somewhat close, it still felt very private. I also want to say how well the home was stocked and labeled.....the host literally thought of everything! Only thing was the sea nettles that prevented swimming, but it is to be expected at the time of year we were there and the location of the home. Overall great vacation and would stay again!

Another great stay in Ophelia

This is a great property with a lot to offer. The sunroom view is fantastic and we enjoyed our morning coffee there every day. We made good use of the hot tub and the gas grill accounted for multiple meals. The watercraft provided hours or fun for all. We all enjoyed the quiet location and we enjoyed watching the area wildlife.

I read the previous reviews and thought to myself no way can a property be that great. I am here to tell you that it can, down to the sighting of a river otter. If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful spot for your vacation, the Little Wicomico Cottage will fit the bill to a T. The experience is only made better by the extremely responsive owners.

This place was amazing. Just what my family of 8 needed to get away from the real world. We were able to reach the owners whenever we needed them and they left treats for our puppies and kids. Very nice and so clean. I would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be returning.
