Enjoy some tranquil island living on the Chesapeake Bay in a beautiful Waterview beach house and is located in a small Waterview town. This fully and newly renovated, cape style, Bayview home is on 3 acres, where you can enjoy playing horseshoes, volleyball, tether ball, corn hole, and other outdoor games!! Enjoy cookouts on our gas BBQ grill. Also have a Fire Pit!! On the kitchen table I have directions where to get local seafood only 3 minutes from the house!! Seafood including, Many different kinds of fish, hard crabs, soft crabs, Oysters, and picked crab meat! Watch our commercial crabbers come in with their catch as you learn of their lively hood. If you like to cook the crabs yourself you can have fun cooking them right in the backyard on our homemade steaming pot! Or we can have them delivered to the house already cooked! Fishing and crabbing is plentiful on the island. Bring your boat and enjoy the Chesapeake and Honga River!! There is a FREE BOAT RAMP 1 Minute from the house!! We have several seafood plants which offer fresh steamed crabs, fresh picked crab meat and softcrabs. That's if you would rather not cook them yourselves. Don’t forget OLD SALTYS RESTAURANT which is 1 minute from the house! It is Famous for the Prime rib n seafood dinners and specialty crab cakes!! Also American Cuisine foods! Old Saltys has been in many magazines!! The gift shop is so interesting with local handcrafted items! We are located in the best hunting and rockfish areas of North America. Also available duck and deer hunting properties. This Island Waterfront Community offers kayaking to the bird sanctuary. With binaculars you can see the Bald Eagles seahawks,Osprey, herons, swans, pelicans and other rare birds. Explore the shorelines and coves for indian artifacts, shells and sea glass. If you would like to rent paddleboats , kayaks, bikes, or jetskis, “Blackwater paddles and peddles “ would be the way to go! She is located near the famous "Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge," an outdoor lovers dream! If you own your boat and looking for a place to store it, " PL Jones Boatyard "is only 1 minute from The house!!They will be happy to rent you a slip for a week or weekend. They have VERY REASONABLE PRICES! There is also plenty of room to keep it in the yard at the Bayview home, then push it overboard at our FREE boat ramp One minute from the house.!!
Bike the island. Ride to Old Salty's for lunch, best known for their fresh seafood, homemade rolls and mile high meringe pies! The dining room has beautiful waterviews while eating!! In the back get to know the locals at the "boat shaped" bar. You can hear them talk about the catch of the day and their experiences on the boat. . The roads are flat and scenic, enjoyable to ride or walk your dog. Take a swim on our small public beach which is 2 minute drive , as you look for arrowheads, or drive 70 minutes to the famous Ocean City Boardwalk and beach. Spend the day swimming in the ocean and enjoy the shops, restaurants,mini golf amusement parks and fine foods they have to offer.
In my rental I have about 100 flyers/brochures of activities for every vacation experience! Drive 15 minutes to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, drive around the refuge, stop and do the nature walks and bike trails. Bird watching is very popular here, where bald eagles thrive. Stop in the visitor centers gift shop and information center see the stuffed wild animals on display. And look at the live Web Cam of eagles nesting their young. At the Bayview we have a live Osprey Nest in the front yard! Each year we have babies which you can clearly see from front porch or out upstairs windows! Bring your binoculars!!! The setting and solitude is exceptional, as you take in the tranquil views of the Chesapeake Bay. Drink your Am. coffee on the front porch, where in the evening you have the perfect 'open view' of the sunsets over the Bay! When it's time to retire in the evening curl up with a good book on our fully lit window seats. Spending the evening out? Cambridge offers an array of dining choices, movie theaters, or the Hyatt Chesapeake for dinner, golfing or spa visits. Visit the quaint towns of St. Michaels,and Oxford. Our Bayview Home is the perfect relaxing family getaway, retreat,vacation or whatever the occasion hope to see you here for your vacation fun!!!

A wonderful long weekend getaway on Hoopers Island--close to the bay and to the attractions of the island. Laura is a great host who ensured we had everything we needed for our stay--a roomy house with a great screened in gazebo and plenty of activities for our elementary school aged kids. Highly recommend it!
Everything was very clean, well-stocked and comfortable. We would have liked more double beds for couples, but space was limited so that's probably not possible. The half bath was in the same room as one twin bed, so in order to give privacy to guests using that bathroom, no one slept in that bed. Over all, our experience was very pleasant and we would rent there again if the occasion arose. Landlady was especially helpful and accommodating!
We can’t say enough great things about our stay. Laura was a wonderful host and has thought of every possible detail. The property was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully outfitted with everything you could need. All the seating and beds were comfortable. AC worked great, TV has plenty of channels and streaming. All the bathrooms were very clean and operational. The screen porch was a wonderful location for meals! The location is very close to many water activities but the best part for us was the peace and quiet. Most of the time all we could hear was the breeze. Laura even arranged to deliver us some crabs!! We’ll look forward to staying again!
We loved our stay at Bay-View! Laura was an excellent host. The house was so clean. Check in was easy. The location is only steps from Hoopers Island road, to bicycle to the bridge, or view the beautiful marinas and waterfronts. The general store is only down the road. We biked the area right before sunet which was beautiful. We seen eagles,brown pelicans. The Osprey already migrated south by early October. A short drive 15 minutes to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge offered great photos and smooth bike riding. Bring mosquito repellant for warm days. We didnt have any problems with mosquitos because the temperatures were in the high 50s in the day and high 40s at night. Lauras home had plenty of items to help with having my Border collie along. There was a pooper scooper for cleanups outside,a long cable and plenty of different sized tie outs for letting your dog outside to do her business. 😁 Each bedroom had a fan in it if you like white noise. The beds were comfortable and the sheets and blankets were very smooth and soft. The house had AC and Heat. Plenty of channels to watch on TV. A smart TV with lots of apps and channels. Both porches were great, especially the enclosed gazebo.
We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay.

Wonderful hosts, very helpful and made sure everything was ok. They were very available if needed. House was peaceful, quiet and comfortable, very nice time, will go again!!
An amazing family getaway. Laura was beyond wonderful and gracious. Laura took my family fishing and they cannot wait to do it again. People are friendly and wave as you pass them by. Food was great. Thank you to the owners of Old Salty’s who were kind to us. The view the food the drinks…top notch. The house had everything we needed. Would go again!!!

The perfect place for a stress free getaway.
The property is well kept and the house had everything and more....
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in Hooper's Island. Laura was the perfect host, the house was lovely and clean, and it's a great location for folks who just want to chill out. Highly recommend!
We appreciated the quiet get away from DC for a long weekend. We loved the front porch -- nice breeze and view of the water. Laura also arranged to deliver us steamed crabs on Friday night which was a great treat!
We had a wonderful time. Laura and he husband made us feel welcome. They provided us we everything we needed to make our trip awesome. Will definitely rent again
Laura was an excellent host and her communication was excellent. Had a wonderful time on the island and appreciated quick drive to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge.
I can’t express how wonderful our stay was! The property had EVERYTHING we needed and more. Truly a beautiful home. Laura was so great at communicating to make sure we were good to go. We will definitely be back next year!

Such a great stay
We could not have had a better experience renting this beautiful home. We were looking for a large home on a quaint Island and we got just that. Hoopers Island has an immeasurable charm--the General Store, Old Salty's crab cakes, the single lane road where everyone waves--we couldn't have asked for more. Laura was so accommodating and was very responsive both during the booking process and at check in.
Everything was great! Beautiful and peace and quiet. Airy house that was equipped with everything we needed. The owners got fresh crabs for us and came by to show us how to cook them. Could not ask for a better stay.
Our family was looking to get away from DC and do things we love....fishing, kayaking, bird watching and riding Bikes. Laura and John were fantastic hosts helping with fishing poles you name it. We definitely would stay again. ❤️❤️
Husband and I took a short trip during the pandemic to recharge. The house was clean and comfortable. The owners were attentive, responsive, and friendly. They went out of their way to place an order of crabs and brought them to us to enjoy. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this place to friends.

quiet get away
The location was very laid back and relaxing. The hosts were also very helpful and worked to make sure we had a great experience and have a huge crab feast in the back yard. We also loved the outside shower and the osprey chick nesting in the front yard. The house was rather small, so if you have a big party be prepared to enjoy time outdoors. Easy walk to Salty's restaurant.
