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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Good place to get away

The place was comfortable and right on the water, perfect for a getaway outside of the city. We really enjoyed sitting out on the dock at night to watch the stars. The owners were also very communicative and helpful, responding right away when there any issues or questions popped up and addressing them quickly. They also offered helpful suggestions about eating out on the island and local attractions.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Kayla Lapp

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.

What makes this property unique

Experience wildlife, nature, and relax with a sunset cocktail in a rural setting while staying connected via high speed wifi.
