Wonderful cottage and location

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.

Great crabbing

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.

Amazing waterfront cottage

We had a wonderful time staying at this amazing waterfront cottage. The property is clean, comfortable and provides everything that it was advertised to be. My son and I had a great time kayaking and fishing from the dock. Next year we will be brining our boat. I highly recommend this property if you are interested in relaxing and enjoying all that a waterfront cottage can and should be!

Beautiful scenery and an adorable Cottage!

With bald eagles and their nest in the back on the water to the egrets to the south - the views are just stunning. Very peaceful getaway from the City, the General Market and Old Salty's had the best seafood. Really decorated so nicely. I loved our time the past week on this island I had never been before. Kim and Toby were super kind and helpful. The neighbors were as well. I'd definitely go back.

Nice relaxing stay

We spent 2 nights here and enjoyed our stay very much. We met Toby and he was very informative about the area and available for any problems or concerns. Upon check-in he rushed over with a can of bug spray when I mentioned I was looking for ours. He was very nice and accommodating. The cabin had everything we needed and was quiet and comfortable. We really enjoyed the views and the screened in porch. The area itself was like a step back in time with beautiful scenery and great seafood. We would visit again and stay in this little cute little cottage. They were great hosts!

Cozy Cottage

Waterfront cottage in a nice location at the end of Hooper’s Island. Comfortable and quiet setting, with a great screen porch to sit on and enjoy the evening breezes and sunset! Nice amenities and the Owners, Toby and Kim, are wonderful hosts. They were most responsive to any questions or needs we had! We were in town for a sporting event, so we didn’t have a chance to try out any water activities, but the dock is well maintained and ready for crabbing! Our only issue was there is no insulation in the first floor ceiling, so we could hear our dog hopping around on the hardwood floors upstairs. Overall, a nice long weekend in a cozy cottage for me, my wife and older daughter!

Great vacation in beautiful quiet place

It was a memorable vacation and time well spent. Cottage was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was in a nice quiet location. Hosts were very friendly, welcoming and responsive. Cottage had a great view of sunrise from pier. It was picturesque. Cottage has a front porch where we spent a lot of time. My recommendation for activities in Hoopers Island and places to visit: 1) Blackwater Wildlife Refuge (closed on Mondays). 2) Blackwater Adventure Park have kayak and bike rentals. This place is very scenic to bike around. People are friendly. 3) Harriet Tubman Museum. 4) Drive to Middle Hooper during hours of sunset. You will get a beautiful view of sunset. 5) Great place for fishing and crabbing if you love fishing. Just driving around the place itself was beautiful.

Sunrise Cottage was absolutely charming!

What a wonderful week spent at Sunrise Cottage! We began each day enjoying the quiet on the dock at sunrise. It was so peaceful watching birds fly along the water looking for their breakfast while we enjoyed our coffee. Out front, there was always a breeze on the comfortable screen porch and a view of the boats passing by. It was nice to relax on the front porch and watch the beautiful sunsets. The cottage was very comfortable for three adults and our dog. We had great weather and the star gazing was amazing, with a beautiful full moon one night and a meteor shower. The nights were quiet and beds were extremely comfortable. The location is convenient to so many places to visit and things to do. We spent several mornings watching the Eagles and other birds at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. We also saw Eagles fly past as we were sitting on the front porch. Toby and Kim are such gracious and friendly hosts. They really went out of their way to make us feel welcome even before we arrived. Their attention to detail and all the thoughtful little touches around the cottage speak to their desire to make your stay a comfortable and delightful experience. They are fabulous and we enjoyed meeting them and every minute of our stay! None of us wanted to leave. We hope to get back again soon.

Perfect spot!

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.

Fall Getaway at Sunrise Cottage

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!

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.

Lovely Getaway

We had a lovely getaway. The hosts go the extra mile to ensure you have everything you need and to let you know about the area. The screened in porch is a perfect place to read, the kitchen was very well stocked with nice cookware, and the private dock was wonderful for watching sunrises or if you enjoy fishing or crabbing. I definitely recommend this place - just make sure you protect yourself and your pets from mosquitoes if you come in the summer!

Birthday get away

If only the weather was on our side.....we had a fantastic sunday evening and monday. We got out on the water and saw the sunrise from the dock. Totally worth waking up at 530am! But sadly a hurricane was a brewin' and we got hit with 30 mph winds. Kept us inside tuesday evening and Wednesday. Other than the weather, everything was to be expected. Blackwater wildlife refuge was a great place to kayak. Saw at least 6 bald eagles. Harriet tubman welcome center was a nice surprise - would have been nice to see the museum, but not open when we were there. My husband enjoyed old Saltys fresh fish, but since im a vegetarian, there wasnt many options for me. If u like the quiet with nature as your entertainment, this is the spot.

Paradise!

We had the best time celebrating our anniversary! We arrived by boat, which we kept right on the end of their private pier! From the second that we stepped off of the boat we were greeted with the most amazing warmth and hospitality. We loved the quaint island full of friendly exceptional people that we are so thankful to have met along our journey. We were spoiled by Toby, Kim and Kelly, to say the least. They went overboard to make sure that we had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay to the fullest. Thank you for making our stay exceptional! We will be back!

Relaxing vacation, beautiful scenery

We loved staying here for 3 days, going down to the dock a few times a day just to see the sunset or the osprey nesting. The house is perfect for the two of us (and puppy), had everything we could want to be comfortable, rain or shine. Loved the firepit at night also. The location is great for reaching Harriet Tubman sights and Blackwater refuge, but also out of the way and very quiet. We would highly recommend the Sunrise Cottage for a relaxing vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Katlynn Fisher

Host profile image
These homes were lovingly added to VRBO by Toby and Kim after they fell in love with the National Wildlife Refuge and the stunning sunsets of the Chesapeake Bay. In 2025 they transferred ownership to an Amish family from Lancaster, PA who is excited to use this property as their vacation spot and that's where we (Kayla and REMM Stays) come in. I have been taking care of beautiful vacation properties for the past 7 years and am so honored to add this beautiful spot to our portfolio. We are excited to share the island with others so they can experience the sereneness and beauty of the area.

Why they chose this property

Experience hunting, fishing, boating, and crabbing at your back door! The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Harriet Tubman are just a few miles away.
