Great relaxing getaway !!

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. Robbin 10/8/23

Destination Wedding on Hooper's Island

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!

Wonderful Stay on the Bay

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!

Hooper Island Getaway

Unfortunately we were only able to stay for a few nights but the time we were there was very enjoyable. Laura is definitely one of the best hosts you can imagine. She went above and beyond making our stay very enjoyable. She provided almost everything needed for fishing and crabbing. Whether it was the crab pots, fishing polls, bait and even some very detailed instructions! The only thing you'll need to do is get the licenses which are available at the local general store. Laura provided us with local contacts to purchase crabs as we needed a lot for a little family get together that we were having. We also ended up steaming the crabs ourselves and she went above beyond finding us a steamer at the last moment. The house comes with the perfect outside eating area. It has lights, a fan and most importantly its screened! The Mosquitoes on Hooper's Island are no joke and the General store even sells shirts calling them the Hooper's Island Air Force! If you are bringing kids, the rental provides TONS of games and outside activities for them to do. We had a great time playing the customized Dorchester County Monopoly game. Thanks again Laura for the great stay!

We love Fishing Creek !

This house was perfect for our trip to Hoopers Island. We were in town for the Bluegrass Festival at Old Salty’s so the location could not have been more perfect. The house has every possible thing you could need for your stay. Laura is extremely responsive and helpful. She has extensive knowledge of the area and has many great recommendations for things to do and see. The screened in area out front was perfect for spending time with our pets and eating. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch and drinking coffee while we watched the wildlife, which is abundant in the area. The general store is 1 mile away, which was easily accessible via bicycle. There are a lot of outdoor activities in the area. I would highly recommend this home and the host!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Johnson

My family and I love living here on the island we have raised our children here and now our grandchildren. We can not think of a better place to be in the world!!! We really enjoy fishing,crabbing,kayaking,and biking the island.
We mostly love catching the fish and crabs then cooking them up for a fresh seafood dinner!!

Why they chose this property

This was the home my husband was raised in. It was left to us , so we completely renovated it all new inside, and now rent it so others can enjoy our nice cozy home. As you see the way of life here as the watermen work on the bay and come in daily with their catches. What a great experience!!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy steaming your own blue claw crabs we get fresh daily off the boats at wholesale prices. Cooking them right in the backyard! Or we can get the crabs ALREADY COOKED!! Also In the fall thru winter, you can buy oysters right off the boats. Then in the evening sit on the porch and watch the sun set over the Bay!
