We loved our family time in Neavitt! Everything was “as advertised”, the weather was great and the seafood delicious. Would definitely stay here again.
Well appointed home, accurately reflected in the photos. Quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Close proximity to town with great shops and restaurants. We loved our stay.
What a gem we found in the quaint town of Neavitt. We had our own private dock with views of the water. The house was cozy and perfect for a long weekend getaway located near so close to St.Michaels and Tilghman’s Island. We can’t wait to come back!
This was a lovely home in a very quiet neighborhood. Check in was easy and we found everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the large screened in porch. The fans (ceiling and standing) were life savers during our very hot/humid part of the week.
We had the BEST time together relaxing and enjoying the views of this property. The dock was perfect for coffee and morning sunrises, fishing, crabbing, and plain old fun for our kids. Our pup had an amazing time swimming right off the beach. The house was clean, and comfortable and everything we had hoped for!
We stayed during New Years 2022 and had a great time. Well decorated space with a great dock for yoga on the water. Walked St. Michaels, dinner at Perry Cabin and lots of board games. Perfect family getaway.
It was great! We loved it and would come back. Fyi - we did run out of TP, gas for grill and dishwasher soap.

The house was clean and the outside porch was amazing. Beautiful dock where the kids spent a lot of time fishing. The drive from downtown was ~12 mins. We all enjoyed a few days away. Thanks!
Property was just as advertised. The inside was lovely but the highlight was definitely the screened in porch looking out over the water. Everyone we ran into on our nightly walks was super friendly. The whole family enjoyed going into St Michaels for dinner and the maritime museum was really special. At the end of the week, everyone wanted to stay longer.

Beautiful home that had a well stocked kitchen. The linens provided were really nice and towels were plentiful. We brought our 28 foot boat and had no problem tying her up to the new dock.

We had a great time at Neavitt Cottage. The house was exactly as the listing stated and was more than we could have hoped for. St. Michael's was only a 10 minute ride away and offered all the shops and restaurants you could want. The property has a dock and we rented a kayak (which they delivered right to the house) which was a great way to enjoy the waterfront. Highly recommend!
