Great experience, wonderful cozy cottage with thoughtful touches throughout. Remote, peaceful location with excellent fishing and crabbing all around you. Fantastic eating at Old Salty's less than a couple of miles away. Very dog friendly cottage and lovely screened in porch area to sit and watch the sunsets. We will be booking again next year.
My husband & I had a wonderful stay at the Sunshine Cottage on Hooper's Island. We took our two small dogs which was a real plus. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful location to vacation.
The house was exactly how the pictures showed !Cute and cozy ,and clean ! Im a country girl and felt at home sitting on the porch,enjoying the breeze. The sound of the ocean was a bonus!! Quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and morning walk on the dock. Overall i enjoyed my stay appreciate the hospitality of the host and would booked again !!
Crabbed with chicken parts off the dock. Caught more than a dozen and steamed and ate delicious crabs. Enjoyed breezes and almost no traffic at this location. Brought our small dog who felt at home. Everything is comfortable.
When I booked this property I was concerned the distance from the city, but it ended being a great asset.
This is the most quiet, scenic, relaxing property i ever booked of over 25 times. I will definitely be going back for a weekend just to relax. I was there for Ironman.
Bed slept good too.
The space was great and would absolutely stay there again. We brought our dogs and they loved all the green space leading up to the dock.
We had a tech issue with our tv, but it was solved immediately by the property owners after we reached out to them. The TV didn’t work, so they drove into town and bought a new one for us! Never have I had that kind of customer service with a rental. They were beyond awesome and accommodating.
We went to the Sunrise cottage for a short getaway for some relaxation and place to use our fishing boat. Our stay exceeded our expectations.The location is very remote but the cottage is so cozy, clean and welcoming that we wished we could have stayed longer. We ate dinner at the local restaurant , Old Salty's both nights . The food and hospitality were exceptional. The local general store was very convenient for breakfast and/ or lunch. Toby and Kim were excellent hosts. They kept us well updated and gave us suggestions on where to put the boat in and where to eat. We highly recommend the sunrise cottages and we hope to get back there sometime soon!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay! Great location with sunset and sunrise views. The house was clean and so welcoming. The owners were so helpful with local recommendations and check-in/check-out process was easy. A great place to unplug and relax.
We had an excellent experience with this beautiful cottage in Fishing Creek MD. The host, Kim was excellent in providing great information about the area and the cottage was very clean and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed our stay and will return.
Amazing cottage for the perfect getaway!!! My daughter and I were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect location for us to relax in and plug together the views were amazing the hospitality tiptop we really enjoyed our time and cannot wait to return! The owners truly ensure that their guests have a fantastic stay!
We wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful cottage for your next stay in Hoopers island!!!
Cozy little house with spectacular views of the water plus bald eagle sightings! It was perfect for a quick getaway and we had all we needed to enjoy our time there. Toby was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommended.
