"My sister and I have always wanted to visit Smith Island. This house was perfect! Well appointed, comfortable, great location and terrific host. The golf cart was such a huge bonus. We had amazing water tours, walked, relaxed, spotted more birds than we could count. Everyone on the island was beyond friendly. Just had a wonderful time which was amplified by the great accommodations! "

"Smith Island is remote, isolated, and a 45 minute ferry trip from Crisfield on lower Maryland's Eastern Shore.The house was recently renovated. It is very well furnished and equipt. Chris has a detailed handbook about what to expect on the island with names and phone numbers for residents who can provide services and give tours including the listing for the ferry boats. He is an engaged, conscientious and outstanding host who quickly and thoroughly responded to our questions. As a waterman community, resturants close very early, so some advance planning is essential. There are fortunately multiple local families that will cook dinners for reasonble prices and deliver food directly to the house.My daughter and I spent two days kayaking various water trails around the island, paddling 7 - 8 miles each day. As this was my second kayaking trip to the island, we knew what to expect and was aided by our hosts excellant handbook. The cultural center in Ewel sells detailed water trail maps published by the State of Maryland. These can also be found online. There is an abundance of wilflife on the island, such as Maryland terrapins, blue crabs, varius types of ducks, geese, great blue herons, great white egrets, commorants and brown pelicans. The waters around the island are shallow, except for the dredged channels. Much of the trails are inaccesible to boats with motors so the experience is very peaceful. Insect repellant is essential.Finally the sunsets are spectacular!"

"Took my grandson for a weekend trip to Smith Island to celebrate his HS graduation. My daughter, also, accompanied us, since I am a 90 year old "Grammy", and need some assistance. Our cottage was clean, comfortable and had all of our needs. The host, Kim, was extremely attentive, and made our dinner the night we arrived so we could just relax. I would highly recommend Idle Hour as the place to stay on Smith Island. Pat Reynolds, Ellicott City, MD"
