About this property

Spectacular Sunsets- Waterfront Home On Smith Island

Gorgeously appointed and newly renovated large historic four bedroom, two story home, on the waterfront in Tylerton, Smith Island, Marlyand in the heart of the beautiful Cheseapeake Bay. Smith Island was just voted by National Geographic Travel Magazine as one of the TOP 20 BEST PLACES in the WORLD to visit in 2016!

Comfortably sleeps 9, with 2 queen size beds and 5 single beds (additional beds available upon request)- perfect for large groups of friends or families.

Huge eat in kitchen, PLUS a dining room- total seating for 12. Spectacular water views from dining room, kitchen and three bedrooms. Lovely sunlit living room, two full bathrooms and a full mudroom with a washer and dryer.

Expansive backyard on the water (with white picket fence for the little ones) for picnicing, barbequing and lounging.

All bedroom and bathroom linens provided, as well as kitchen supplies (pots, pans, dishes, etc.) if you'd like to cook while on the Island.

Alternatively, if you would like the Bed and Breakfast experience, we can arrange for your meals to be expertly prepared and delivered by Island ladies- to your custom order!

Where is Tylerton, Smith Island? Just a short ferry ride from Crisfield, Maryland- travel back in time with your family and friends to this quaint and blissfully quiet traditional waterman's village. Enjoy kayaking, boating, hiking, beachcombing, fishing, crabbing, harvesting oysters, biking or simply taking long walks along the water. For hunters and fisherman, there is some of the best duck hunting and fishing on the East Coast!

Visit the local Drum Point Market for the world's absolute best crab cakes, or take a stroll along the crab shanty dock and visit local toy and craftmakers. Visit the famous crab picking coop, and play baseball, soccer and lacrosse and fly kites on the baseball field. Explore the incredible Pelican Rookery (right out of National Geographic!) and take a trip to a crab shanty to learn how hard shell crabs become soft shells! Spend time leasurely talking to locals all about the Island's history and their life on the island. Become an honorary Junior Fire Fighter at the local fire station, or just spend luxurious hours sitting on the dock, watching the tide ebb and flow, and eventually, the spectacular setting sun. Then watch in awe as the dark night sky comes alive with thousands of brilliantly beaming stars just for you!

Dreamy!
We stayed with 5 adults and one infant and the house has plenty of indoor and outdoor space to spread out and relax. The views can’t beat. Look out any window and you know you’re in beautiful Tylerton and I’ve never been anywhere like it. The house is steps away from the county dock and the market. We strolled around wondering at the singular beauty of the place. We sunned ourselves on the dock in the afternoon, watching turtles and marveled at the distant lightning storms. We enjoyed crab cakes from the market, a dinner cooled by Mary, a cake from Kristen and a pontoon cruise to see the Pelican rookery. Everyone we met on the island was lovely. I’m already plotting my next visit.

About the host

Hosted by Gretchen

Host profile image
Our family has two small boys, and we first found "Pauline's House" when we were looking for a vacation home off the grid where we could be immersed in nature, culture and history- we found the perfect home and location of Smith Island!

Why they chose this property

"Pauline's House", affectionately named in honor of the home's first owner, is on the waterfront with a big backyard, including a vegetable garden, picnic table and spectacular sunsets! Newly renovated to it's historic charm, the house is furnished with antiques, and all the amenities and comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Pauline's House is a beautiful waterfront home where you can curl up with a good book while gazing out the windows upon the sparkling Bay, or from which you can get ready for your next eco-adventure! Set out crab pots or go fishing off the dock in the morning while listening to the lullaby of cormorants and gulls. Go progging (what the locals call beachcombing) along the marshy inlets to find thousand year old arrowheads. Watch the shimmering ripple
of the tide as your paddle glides along the water. Feast on the day’s catch while gazing at the warm sun as it melts into the horizon across the Bay. Share laughter and good times with family and friends, and exchange knowing smiles about the secret you share- that you are in the most magical place on earth- Smith Island.
