About the host

Hosted by Christopher Winters

I am from the Midwest but fell in love with Smith Island and this home. I love to kayak and get away from the big city. This is the perfect place to relax and take in the beauty of nature and the Bay. I especially love the kayak water trails around the island.

Why they chose this property

It is a 110 year old home that has some modern amenities. I have been and will continue working on the house over the next few years and have made several changes already. It is open for rental year round and has a/c and heat and a screened in patio which is ideal year round. Propane fireplace that works and puts out quite a bit of heat. Only one bedroom upstairs with a second sleeping area (not a true bedroom) to the left of the stairs upstairs. The main and only bedroom is upstairs to the right. Air mattresses are also available. The kitchen is fully functional with plates, glasses, coffee machines, and pots and pans and a crock pot. You have everything there to cook a fine Chesapeake Bay meal. Bike and kayak will be available for use. Front porch has been (Sept 2024) updated and has new comfortable furniture to sit out in the evening and watch people go by on the street.
Please note there are 2 ferry boats that leave Crisfield every day at 12:30pm sharp. They leave the island at 7:30am every day except Sunday at 11:00am. The boats may not run every day depending on the captain's preference and weather. The boats I use are Capt. Jason or the Island Belle. The captain of the Capt. Jason boat can carry your luggage from the dock in Ewell (it's about a 45 min boat ride) in his yellow pickup truck directly to your house. Once you are there you will relax and enjoy the Water's Edge Retreat.

What makes this property unique

Golf cart, bikes and kayaks and inflatable stand up paddle board are available for guest use. Can walk to the water from the property to the left. Everything in the house is available for guests to use except locked owner’s closet under the stairs. The upstairs attic is also locked and not accessible Otherwise everything in the house is available for your enjoyment.
