About The Owner

My wife and I moved to the Eastern Shore about 20 years ago and live 20 mins away. We have come to love the juxtaposition of natural beauty and boating activities to be found on Onancock Creek. We maintain a vacation cottage on this property for our own use throughout the year. During the summer months, we love to boat into Onancock for dinner under the setting sun, and return under a sky full of stars. (Onancock Creek's channel is well-maintained and marked, for both daytime and nighttime traffic.)

The Owner purchased this house in 2008
Why The Owner chose Onancock

This is a wonderful house in a fabulous location. It is only minutes, by boat or car, from historic, vibrant Onancock with its shops, restaurants, and historic attractions. The house has 180 degree water views, offering a front row seat to the daily activities on the Creek: from early morning birds as they feed in the sunrise, to watermen heading out to the Bay for the day, to recreational boaters enjoying watersports or fishing, to the parade of yachting vessels arriving to spend the night in Onancock, to the final swoop of the shorebirds as they feed in the setting sun. The house has a long sandy private beach with a shallow shelf, making it perfect for children and for launching kayaks, canoes, or the owner-provided sunfish. Untouched natural areas are only a short paddle away, offering wonderful bird-watching opportunities. There is also a private deep water boat basin and 150' of dock, and a private 1100' grass airstrip.

What makes this house unique

The house was completely rebuilt in 2009, with tropical hardwood walls and floors, granite countertops, and the finest amenities throughout. Use of two two-person kayaks and a Sunfish are included. A 19' NACRA ocean racing catamaran will be made available for experienced sailors.

The house has much character, not sterile like many rentals. The property was beautiful and the little beach perfect for our group (8 year olds twins, 7- adults, and dogs). Both the boats were used and enjoyed. The kitchen was excellently stocked with equipment, cleaning supplies, beverages, and spices. The most wonderful activity was watching the sunset on the bay.

We recently had the pleasure of renting this property for an extended family vacation....the property was so much more than we expected. The pictures on this site definitely do not do justice! Whether we were enjoying the water, digging in the sand, or running on the airstrip, we all had a great time!

The owner's hospitality was a complete surprise...never did we expect such a warm, inviting host!! Our 21 month old son is still "talking" about Mr. Pete's boat and Cody the dog :)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the sunfish! Our senior citizen family members were ecstatic over the elevator! Our young children loved the beach and calm, shallow water!!! Our dogs couldn't get enough of the wrap-around deck and great bird watching!

It was a vacation we will all cherish!!

We can't speak highly enough of this property and owner....looking forward to our next visit :)

Over the 4th of July week our family of 11 spent 7 great days at this property. The property is absolutely beautiful, views are breath-taking and the property owners are personably, accommodating and ensured that we felt comfortable. Lots to do in the local area and plently of toys for fun in the water located in the back yard.

I was fortunate to stay at the Windward this past weekend and had a wonderful and relaxing time. Every detail of the home and property was thought through in great detail. The owners are welcoming and the views are outstanding. I grew up on the shores of southern Maryland and would come back here anytime. I enjoyed everything from the water to walking around the town and admiring the old homes. I would recommend the Windward to anyone!
