Waterfront Cottage in Beautiful Hoopers Island

Enjoy the quiet and serenity of Hoopers Island from our cozy waterfront cottage. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life in this little town.
Enjoy the sunrise relaxing on the back porch; sip your morning coffee or pick some local crabs on the back porch. Take a short walk down to the bridge to explore the small beaches and collect shells and sea glass!

Have dinner around the fire pit located by the water - bring your camp chairs for extra seating. We have added a new extended dock at the end of the pier for ease of relaxing, swimming, floating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing etc.!

Our home is equipped with Smart TVs, Sonos Speakers, and FiberOptic Hi Speed Internet. There is an outdoor propane grill provided for your use.

Fishing and crabbing are allowed off of the pier. Hoopers Island General Store can help supply a temporary license, your tackle needs, or bring your own! Make sure you bring your fishing rod! We do have a few crab pots that are available for use tied off along the pier.

Please note Hoopers Island is a very remote location and does not have a supermarket on the island. The General Store has basic needs, but it is advised to stop on your way down to shop for food and drinks! Stop in Cambridge (30 mins from the property) on your way in for groceries. Cambridge is home of some great restaurants downtown and on the waterfront!

Stop by Emily's Produce Stand on your way in for farm fresh ingredients! https://www.emilysproduce.com/

We are able to offer 2 Kayaks if requested, available and waiver is signed, but for all other water sport equipment rental, please reach out to Blackwater Adventures to make your reservation! https://blackwateradventuresmd.com/

Blackwater Refuge & Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor's Center are both on your drive onto the island and worth planning a visit!

Nice getaway

Great little spot for a long weekend getaway. Very quiet, little traffic. It is remote, so stopping in Cambridge for groceries is recommended.

A Sweet, Comfortable Stay

This is a small, sweet, comfortable cottage, and was just perfect for our brief getaway from the hurly-burly. The house is very well equipped, especially the kitchen, so cooking the local seafood was easy. The decor (loved the faux fireplace) was charming and welcoming, down to the live Poinsettia plant on the table when we got there.

Fantastic weekend getaway

Absolutely perfect location to get away for the weekend. It was so peaceful and we saw osprey and deer in the back yard. You have access to a dock which is fantastic at night to see the stars. The house has everything you could need. They have 2 kayaks we intended to use but ran out of time. The best part was sitting outside at night with a fire. Would absolutely stay again!

Enchanting Cottage!

My husband and I loved our stay at this cottage on Hoopers Island! The cottage was so cute, clean, and comfortable with everything you need to complete our stay. Location was perfect, right between the Honga River and Chesapeake Bay. So peaceful, and wonderful hiking and bird watching nearby. I can't wait to go back!

A Little Slice of Heaven

My family and I stayed at this cozy charming cottage over the Thanksgiving holiday, and it was the best decision we could have made! From the first communication with our lovely host Lora, to the warm welcome from Ms. Ethel, and the kindness of the locals on Hoopers Island, we couldn't ask for a better getaway. This cottage offers serenity and the best sunsets and sunrises I have ever seen before. When my family and I first entered the cottage it smelled so sweet and inviting just like the holidays. Lora did an amazing job with the decor in each room and remembered the little details that make it feel like home. If you're looking for great seafood, we highly recommend Old Salty's Restaurant, trust me they did not disappoint. My family and I will definitely visit again in the future! I hope you have a chance to enjoy this beautiful "slice of heaven" soon!!

The house was a perfect size for the 3 of us. My grandson enjoyed crabbing and fishing off the dock. We rented bikes nearby and went for a nice bike ride around Blackwater Refuge. Loved the sunrises and sunsets and the extremely peaceful location. We even had a little visitor. My grandson named the little kitty Hooper.
Sunrise was beautiful.

Happiness in Hoopers Island!

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was clean, cozy and a perfect location with the dock. We were able to bring our boat, fish, and crab. It was incredibly relaxing! The neighbors were extremely nice and very helpful!

Peace and quiet

The cottage was very nice, well appointed, a great view of the river. You could walk down the road a short distance to see the bay. It was situated in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was farther to Old Salty's than anticipated (1.5 miles) so it would not be a short walk. The only possible downside is the neighbors, while friendly, were extremely close by; therefore limiting enjoyment for someone who prefers total privacy.

we loved the wild location

the Hoopers Island area is amazingly wild and beautiful. we loved the Harriet Tubman visitors center just a short trip away, and the Blackwater Refuge just incredibly beautiful. the winter birds! we learned so much about the history and culture of the lower islands.the house is more cabin style, smaller than we anticipated, but we got used to that. it was full-on winter weather and wind, so we couldn't kayak as we'd hoped, and the coast was mostly rocks so hard to walk along. it's a place for boating or fishing and swimming off the docks in the warmer weather. seafood restaurants amazing in the area. we met some people living there year round who were welcoming and kind. the only real problem - the stove top didn't work properly and was dangerous - this was unknown to the host and is totally fixable. and the coffee set up had been lost somehow, another easy fix. the hot water was good and the place cosy. the outdoor fire pit and cooking area looked inviting but it was too windy to use. time of year restricted us quite a bit

Slice of heaven

The cottage was cute and clean! The sunrise from the bed was breath taking. We enjoyed waking up in the morning to check the crab pots out on the dock. Loved that we could tie our boat up on the dock. If you are looking for a disconnect from the busy life this is the place to be We will be back for sure

Amazing Stay! Amazing Home!

We can't say enough good things about our long weekend stay! This was our first time in the area, and it was so quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The views from the home were stunning, and everything was clean, welcoming, and bright—exactly what we needed for a little getaway. My husband and our dogs absolutely loved it. We spent most of our time outdoors, but when we were inside, the home was cozy, warm, and comforting. We slept great every night. The host was communicative and helpful, and we can't wait to come back again and again!

One of the most relaxing vacations ever! The cottage was so cute and clean. The cupboards were stocked with everything you could think of. The view of the bay was so gorgeous and the pier was so perfect for fishing and crabbing. We loved that we could bring our dog with us. We will definitely vacation here again!

This is a unique property with expansive water views. Quiet neighborhood with wonderful and helpful caretakers. We spent 3 nights with our 5 month old puppy and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had dinner in 2 nights and went to Old Salty’s one night for crabcakes. Very good service and great food. Brought our boat and had a great time. The cottage was immaculate and extremely well equipped.
