Ewell House | Historic home on Smith Island w/dock!

3 Bedroom House in Ewell, Smith Island

The Pearl on Smith Island is a completely restored Eastern Shore farmhouse with the classic pitched roof. Built in 1900, the main level features a large railhead shower, a queen size bedroom, living room, dining room, and a well stocked comfortable kitchen that is open to the living room and dining room so guests can visit while making coffee or meals. The upstairs features a twin room with two twin beds and a large queen bedroom that overlooks the magnolia tree in the front yard. A half bath completes the upstairs. It’s a perfect place to kick back after a day on the water!
The dock is a short 4 minute walk from the house; fish, crab, and even moor your boat there! Some of the best fishing on the East Coast is around the Island-rockfish, speckled trout, cobia, redfish, croaker, and flounder. There are 3 kayaks for you to launch and explore the well documented kayak trails.
Accessible only by ferry, Smith Island is a unique experience; research Smith Island's rich history and historic culture on Wikipedia and YouTube, and then experience it for yourself! You will not get better softshell crabs or crab cakes anywhere! Rent a golf cart and drive through marshland to Rhodes Point and take a water taxi to Tylerton.
If you're not bringing your boat, we can help arrange a boat tour of the Smith Island archipelago and view pelican rookeries, the Martin Natural Preserve, and the many guts (creeks), which leads some to call it the Venice of the Chesapeake (with crab shanties instead of Italian Palazzos!).
Park your car in Crisfield, Maryland and take a relaxing 40 minute ferry to Smith Island, and the crew will get you and your things to the Pearl!
NOTE: Please let us know when booking if you are bringing your own boat for The Pearl Dock.

Summary: This is our second time staying at the pearl and the air conditioning and screened in porch/deck improvements made the stay even more enjoyable than the first time. The house was clean, well kept and well stocked. Beds were soft and comfortable. Fishing was great. We will be back again for sure.

Summary: We had a wonderful, cozy stay at The Pearl on Smith Island! Our host shared everything we needed to know to get there and back without stress. The innkeeper was very nice and helpful too. We went kayaking and metal detecting on a nearby beach. We cruised the island on a golf cart. We ate lots of crab cakes, steamed crabs and Smith Island cake! If you are looking for a low-key, minimalist getaway- this is the perfect overnight! (Bring bug spray)

Summary: The Pearl was a great property for us to enjoy an extended stay on Smith Island. We enjoyed the use of their bikes and kayak. Short walk from their dock and super helpful friends from the Capt Jason II to help us get to/from with our gear. We’re looking forward to coming back and sharing this place with some additional family soon!

Summary: We came by boat from Annapolis, and what a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the ”mainland!” The house is fantastic, the island is an amazing way to experience the way the Bay “once was”, and Chris and Leigh are phenomenal hosts. Will definitely be back! Side note - come by boat if you can!!

Summary: During our stay at The Pearl, we encountered our own boat issues, but the hosts were extremely helpful. Their communication was above and beyond!! The people on the island were also extremely helpful, and they went out of their way to help in any way they could. They all truly wanted us to have a great experience on Smith Island. The Pearl had everything we needed for our stay, and there was plenty of room for us. We took our pet Corgi and she felt right at home and loved the big yard! We CANNOT wait to go back!

Summary: This was a perfect spot for out three-generation getaway. Property was a perfect fit for us and the new deck with screened-in porch is a great addition to this property. Well stocked kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and the gas grill came in very handy. Comfy furniture and a great dining room table perfect to game night.

Summary: This was one of the most relaxing stays the family has ever had. Who can argue with Smith Island Cake from the bakery for breakfast!! The house was a great little hideaway to celebrate a 14th birthday and a 23rd anniversary. Having easy access to a boat dock allowed us to bring our own boat and so the freedom to fish the waters surrounding Smith Island, an afternoon trip to Tylerton for the absolute delicious crab cakes and a chat with Duke, a day trip to Crisfield for the annual boat docking competition, and sunset cruises and amazing stargazing. The highlight and “most awesome thing ever” said the 14 year old, was a personal Smith Island Cake making class with Donna and Phil. Our biggest tip is Bring your bug spray and if you use the dock, your deck boots — extreme tides cover the lane from the dock to the main road.

Summary: Clean, cozy, well stocked. Nice kitchen and dining room for home cooked meals since there aren't too many breakfast and dinner dining options on the island. Locals were nice including Mark who got us bait. We caught plenty of fish and cooked them too. Wi Fi worked well. Bedrooms and baths were clean and cozy. Owners were responsive to all my questions. Will definitely be back.
