This spacious studio is located in Fishing Creek, Maryland, where it is situated right by the shore of Chesapeake Bay on Hoopers Island. The property is set within a narrow isthmus of the island, with the bay on one side and Back Creek and the Honga River on the other side, where guests can see nesting ospreys and fishing boats. This is one of the few getaways in the area to have both a waterfront and water out back.

About 15 minutes to the north, guests will find Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses 25,000 acres of brackish tidal marsh, mixed evergreen and deciduous hardwood forest, and open water habitats that provide a sanctuary for migrating birds, bald eagles, and Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrels which were on the endangered species list until recently. Next to the refuge, guests will also find the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park, which where Harriet Tubman was born and grew up, and is now home to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center.

Guests will find Old Salty's, serving fresh seafood and more, within walking distance of the rental. Open Wednesday through Sunday, it is a favorite for many on the Delmarva peninsula. There is a marina for larger watercraft and the hosts have a dock for guests' smaller boats/kayaks/etc. There is plenty of parking for a boat trailer and a car. Hoopers Island general store is on the island, which also serves light meals and a great assortment of items for guests' stay. The retreat is about two hours from Baltimore, where the nearest international airport is located.

The latter also contains a variety of land and water trails for hiking, paddling, and birdwatching. Maps for these trails are available from the hosts or at the visitor centers nearby.

The Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park are within 10-15 minutes of the rental and are a must-see while guests are here. Both have very informative and welcoming visitor centers and the Tubman park has a wonderful audio tour.

While guests are here, they should try the local wine at Layton's Chance Winery as they have a nice selection of wines to taste for a nominal fee and guests can either bring a picnic or purchase one of their cheese platters. It really is a lovely way to while away an afternoon or a nice way to spend a night at one of their evening events.
