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.
