The perfect place to wind down, reconnect with people, culture and a way of life we’ve strayed away from. The house was amazing! The town, the good people and the atmosphere just as much.

Very comfortable house that had everything we needed. Having the golf cart included in the rental was super convenient. The only downside was the sulphur smell of the water but otherwise the property was well cared for and a great location. First time to the island but we had a great time. Pelican island was amazing

Wonderful little house overall. The small bed was not great. It did not appear clean. The only sheet, the fitted one was in knots under a messy comforter. Since it was a mattress on the floor, jammed into a corner, it was not great for this 71 year old. The shower was not clean. We did not take photos.

Beautiful house in a unique location. This beautiful house is perfect for two or three travellers who want to be in the heart of a sleepy waterfront town with lots of heritage. The house is nicely updated and has all the necessary creature comforts and is a very short walk from the town's waterfront.

Excellent experience with house, host and location Everything about the house was as expected from the description. We enjoyed having two kayaks available. As soon as we booked the stay, our host provided a very helpful set of directions about the house and Smith Island. The details of getting to the Island are not totally obvious from anything on the web and the host’s directions provided clear descriptions of how it works and the contact info for the boat captain to set everything up. It’s all more casually organized than a lot of modern travel experiences but all worked out just fine, and the local islanders were very friendly and helpful. We did have a couple of questions before and during our visit and the host, Chris, responded quickly and clearly. We mostly cooked our own meals (dining options on the island are very limited - see the hosts instructions for details). The house kitchen is modern and well equipped. At the advice of our host, we stocked up on groceries in Crisfield and brought everything with us. The house has modern laundry facilities which we used. Smith Island, though not far from DC etc, is a world away and spending 5 nights was a great way to experience it. Not everyone will want to spend time in a place like this, but if kayaking through a salt marsh looking at birds appeals to you, you’ll love it.

Smith Island Getaway This was just what we needed. The peace and serenity of Smith Island left us feeling renewed. Ran/cycled the distance of the island daily taking in the beautiful scenery, wildlife, and chatting with the residents. We walked to the bakery and bought two Smith Island cakes which were phenomenal! Cooked in the well appointed kitchen and snuggled on the couch every evening. Chickens and ducks greeted us in the mornings and waterfowl throughout the day kept us looking through binoculars. At night we slept like babies in the comfortable, fluffy, loft bed. We actually extended our stay by a day because we weren't ready to say goodbye just yet. We must return to Mr. Winter's haven again soon! Thank you for such a pleasant and memorable experience! D&M
