We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home! The location was perfect to explore Saint Michaels and other towns on the eastern shore. Our host was highly responsive to our questions and appreciate the helpful information. Everything was impeccably clean, and house was thoughtfully equipped with anything you could need. Would love to come back again soon!
This lovely house was the perfect location to explore the area. It had everything we needed.The host was very responsive and helpful with questions we had. We were glad our two older dogs were permitted to come.
The house was quaint. some things that were noticed were the code was wrong to get into the lock box and we tried about a half a dozen times before we called the owners phone to ask for the code. There were no boxes of tissues, which we thought were a staple at any place that you stay. no sugar in the kitchen, no spices either. there was food left in the freezer from the previous vacationers. It is a very quiet area and very calm and relaxing. we were able to unplug and relax, thank you.
My kids and I really enjoyed our recent stay. The cottage is lovely, perfect really. The garage has kayaks and bikes, and we used both. Would definitely return to stay again.
Perfect little cottage in a great location near St. Michael’s. The interior was clean and looked to be newly renovated. We will be back again, for sure.
Another comfortable stay. Perfect for all our needs and pet friendly too! Very clean and cozy. Great communication with host. Look forward to visiting again.
We enjoyed every convenience in this lovely charming cottage. It was well equipped with everything needed to make relaxing easy and convenient for stay at home or sightsee with great restaurants and museums a few miles away. A definite A
Came for a girls weekend to shop, drink wine and relax and found this perfect little property outside of St. Michael's and Tilghman Island. Loved it so much we're planning on coming back next year!
I have celebrated 3 different birthday getaways at Shipwright Cottage and was never disappointed!! Melissa us fantastic! Super responsive and reliable. It's such a beautiful area for a quiet scentic getaway and still in Maryland. I definitely will return again!
Beautifully renovated cottage with water views on both sides
This property is beautifully renovated and has everything you could need. Wake up to water views on a quiet peninsula with views on 2 sides of the cottage. It was great that we could have our 2 small dogs with us. Would definitely come again!
What a great place to stay in the fall with our goldendoodle for our anniversary. So cute and charming. Fabulous weather and loved driving to Oxford and returning to St. Michaels on the ferry in 15 minutes. Lots of great eateries and lots of dogs...good for our dog.
The cottage was clean and updated and nicely decorated. We had family staying in cottages nearby so we had access to boats and docks. We did enjoy using the bikes that were available. Overall it was a perfect cottage for our vacation on the Bay.
Cute cottage. Nicely appointed. Enjoyed the bikes and kayaks. Great location if you are looking for a quiet getaway in a lovely setting. Wish there had been a deck on the water we could have used.
Everything was clean, house was well stocked, and owner was very helpful with her recommendations and responsiveness. We would definitely stay again. My only wish was that it were ON the water, not between two arms of the creek. O, and it’s great to have use of kayaks, bikes. Great spot
We spent a long weekend at Shipwright Cottage. You can see the water from almost every window. The home is cozy. My only comment would be that if you plan on cooking be sure to bring your spices etc. But there are plenty of places nearby to eat! We love the Eastern Shore and seeing all the waterfowl. You could hear And see the geese every evening.
