Blue Heron Cottage On Smith's Island

Smith Island's newest jewel, newly constructed waterfront cottage that sleeps 6 comfortably. Relax on the front porch admiring the beautiful sunsets on the bay, or enjoy watching the waterman working on the water. There is a deep water dock located front of the cottage, where you can enjoy fishing and crabbing or dock to with your own vessel. Along with these, we offer kayaks without an additional fee. Come enjoy the history, wildlife, and the unique lifestyle of the islanders. You can live on island time! The ride on the ferry from Crisfield, MD is only the beginning of the experience. The ferry ride will be about a 40 minute beautiful ride through the Tangier sound. The boat captain will drop you off within walking distance to your destination.

Getaway boat weekend!
The stay was just perfect. We came with our own boat and it was easy to navigate to the house. The dock was 30 yards from the front door so easy to get out supplies to the house. (We did make use of the golf cart 😊). Neighbors are so friendly and they let us use their phone to call our family to let them know we arrived. Our cell phones did not work as it is a bit remote. We later found out that there is some coverage on the second floor of the house😁 Nevertheless we did not miss internet and cell phones for the entire weekend! This was one of our more adventuresome weekends to date. Just loved the island, the house, and the people!

Idyllic Escape
We booked this place on a whim and couldn't be happier. At the end of our first day we already regretted not staying longer. First, getting dropped off at the dock in front of the cottage was very convenient. The setting itself is perfect. If you are a science geek, nature-lover, or just want some peace and relaxation, this is your place. We spent hours sitting on the porch watching birds in the marsh, passing boats, and chatting with all the friendly neighbors. Taking the bikes into Ewell to sample Smith Island Cakes was a lot of fun. On our second day we kayaked (kayaks also included!) over to Tylerton for crab cakes. After a full day of paddling, the golf cart was a welcome feature to get into Ewell for an early dinner at the Bayside Inn. The cottage itself was very comfortable, modern, clean, and really just perfect. Also, do yourself a favor and order food from Ms. Landon......best crabcakes you'll ever have. We will absolutely come back!

Exactly the getaway we needed!
We were looking for some relaxation and adventure and we found both on Smith Island! We spent five beautiful days at the cottage, which was perfect for our family and very clean and comfortable. The views were spectacular and we spent hours on the front porch each day watching the birds and being mesmerized by the water. We took daily bike rides into the town to explore, enjoyed lunch at the Bayside Inn and Harborside Market, and visited the Smith Island bakery just about daily to try a new flavor of the Smith Island cake… We couldn’t find a flavor we didn’t like. We spent time every day crabbing and fishing from the dock and caught lots of crabs. Our luck with the fishing wasn’t as good. The people in the town are warm and welcoming and just delightful to talk with and get to know. The crabcakes are a must in Smith Island, and the crab cakes at Drum Point Market in Tylerton were our favorite. If You are looking for a quiet, peaceful and beautiful place to unplug and enjoy time with family and friends, we highly recommend Blue Heron Cottage and Smith Island. It is a vacation we will remember always.

Getting Away
What a truly unique place Smith Island is. We really needed to unplug from everything and this was a great way to do so. The views and the bay literally just across the inlet are stunning and a blast to explore on the kayaks.

A gem for those that want a place to disconnect.
This beautiful home on Smith Island delivered exactly what my husband and I wanted in a vacation. Some time to disconnect from our busy lives and enjoy each other and the incredible wildlife. Smith Island is a wonderful little community with truly friendly people. Everyone we met was friendly and helpful. We will be returning. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
