Tilghman Island is a hidden gem

The property and home are lovely. The home was very clean and comfortable with lovely decor. Property is large and provides some privacy. We ejoyed the use of the private pier, fire pit with wood, kayaks and yard games. Appreciated use of bicycles (kids even gave tandem a spin). Tilghman Island is delightful for a quiet getaway with spectacular views. The sunsets are amazing. We chartered a fishing trip out of the marina in town. Our host provided some fishing charter options which was much appreciated. Enjoyed dinner at Chesapeake Landing in St. Michael's (Lobster night on Thursdays!). Several dining options within 15 min. The General Store on the island had all we needed for our mini stay.

Relaxing beautiful getaway

My family and I had a wonderful stay! It was so relaxing to just look out into the backyard where the water and dock are. The first day was rainy, but we were able to enjoy the games that were at the home. The second day had better weather and we took the kayaks out, tried crabbing on the dock and walked around St. Michael's. The fenced yard was perfect - my son was able to run around to his heart's content. The home was really well-stocked and clean. Thank you for a great stay!
