Fishing Creek House | Best Kept Secret By the Bay

2 Bedroom House in Fishing Creek

Begin your story on Hooper's Island, surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay and Honga River on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
This unique island is a "MUST DO" on your bucket list.
Enjoy Maryland crabs, breathtaking vistas and amazing sunsets in the area!
Please Note: This is a no smoking, no pets house. However we love the deer and ducks that visit outside from time to time so this is not a place for hunters. there are amenities for older adults, children 13 and up are welcome.
Hooper's Island has no attractions, Hooper's Island "is the attraction!"
Teens 13 and over are welcome. But please note, this is a very lay back island suited for adults.
Enjoy your stay on Hooper's Island as you surround yourself in this spacious Contemporary Ranch with Bay view across the road. Sit on the enclosed 3 season porch while Ospreys, Blue Herons and Eagles fly by. A perfect place to relax.
Enjoy your own private Dock around the bend on the Riverside. Little Dock is great for crabbing, mooring a small john boat or kayak. or just chilling out with morning coffee or evening wine. It is a short walk from the house. The picnic table on dock is a great place to eat crabs and take in the views. If you have a larger boat, a marina within a 5 minute drive can house your larger boat for a reasonable fee.
Also included is wireless high speed internet, flat screen DishTV and a vintage Auto Return Pool Table in family room for your entertainment.
This is an adult oriented house best suited for adult vacationers. 4 Guest Maximum. Sorry no pets! No smoking facility.
Bring your bike, kayak or boat, easy access with 2 free public ramps close to house.....Larger boats over 18 feet can be moored at nearby Marina, small boats up to 18' can stay on hitch in driveway or small Jon boats can be tied up to dock. Hiking, biking and of course crabbing from your private little dock on the riverside...Kayak rentals, bike rentals and charter boats available nearby.

De stress and enjoy a quiet and peaceful vacation surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay, Back Creek and the Honga River. Perfect for a romantic getaway, friends getaway, nature enthusiasts, boaters of all kinds, artists, photographers, writers, historians and a bird watchers paradise.
Go Biking and strolling along the scenic bike route. Please note: there is a little wading beach by the causeway on the riverside to sift through the sand for sea glass and arrowhead artifacts, or fish from the point... Just bring your beach chair, fishing pole, beach shoes, towel and a bag to collect your sea treasures.
The nearby town of Cambridge hosts restaurants, entertainment, skip jack cruises, shopping, theaters, art galleries, antiques, etc. A must do is visit the recently built lighthouse at the public marina and to visit the newly built Harriot Tubman museum a short drive away.
And while you are visiting and have time, plan a day trip to the beach and boardwalk in Ocean City. Approx 1.5 hour drive. A great place to visit for a day of swimming, amusements, walking on the boardwalk and dining in local restaurants. Also check out Assateague Island, "the land of the wild pony" It is a 10 minute drive from Ocean City.
If arriving by plane, the closest major airport to Dorchester County, Maryland is Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional cars are available. When on the island...Biking, walking, motorbikes, cars, etc. Tow your own small boat if you drive to the island. It can be docked in a nearby marina down the road... or if small enough, leave on hitch in driveway. A kayak can be stored on your little private dock around the bend on the riverside. Bring your own bikes or rent bikes and kayaks and tour the islands or nearby Black Water Refuge. You can also have boats delivered to your rental for fun on the river and the bay.

Summary: Perfectly equipped and clean as a whistle. Only complaint is that the beds had too much foam rubber which made Them too hot for our taste. We had to adjust the air conditioning to cool the house down so that we could sleep. We enjoyed the surroundings and loved exploring. Dining out facilities were great and we had crab almost every dinner. Reading early in the morning on the front porch was wonderful. For peace and quiet, beauty and perfection, good food and and great supplies for at-home cooking, this place is ideal. We hated to leave but we did take crab home with us from the processing facility on the southernmost island below Hoopers. Exploring the marshy areas around us was a wakeup call about life in the area. We love to visit new places and this area was a real surprise. VRBO seems to attract the unusual. We have never been disappointed in their locales. It will be difficult to match this one.

Summary: Very quiet quaint neighborhood. Very friendly people and very laid back relaxing feeling. Only very small water views from the house. The dock was very nice and the house has everything. Love the area and the fishing in Blackwater was challenging but successful.

Summary: We had a lovely time staying at this rental on hoopers island. Everything was in order and clean. We had morning coffee on the screened porch every am and went traveling during the day. In the evenings we were happy to have a cozy space to come home to where we would play our favorite word game on the kitchen table. This is a great rental for a couple of old friends (like us) to each have their own bedrm/bath to sleep and prep in. It would also work for 1 or 2 couples. Joe answered our texts immediately when we had questions. Would definitely stay again.

Summary: Lovely home, clean and well appointed. Learned I couldn't play billards on their beautiful table. Was unhappy about the queen size bed, a bit small for me and the matress is too soft but I slept well anyway. Some spices there as well as coffee, thanks. Very quiet and charming environment. Great get away to rest and contiplate the universe.

Summary: This home was a perfect place for our two couples to go fishing on the river and explore the island. The small dock, located close to the home, was ideal for keeping my 20 ft. center console. The very tidy and pleasantly appointed home is perfect for two couples. Communication with the owner and the local property manager was excellent and prompt. Highly recommended for a low key, eastern shore getaway and/or fishing trip.

Summary: Peace, quiet, bountiful wildlife and friendly locals all made this trip memorable for us. This property would be ideal for fall trips to the Eastern shore as well, the surrounding water and wildlife are an amazing experience.
