Walkable to everything
Great little cottage and plenty of space for our family of 3 to have an end-of-Summer getaway to one of our favorite towns. Prompt and easy communication with the owner, Tom, both before and during our stay. We loved the back porch and were blessed with some cooler temps and were able to enjoy sitting out there. FYI - Den has a door (third bedroom with pull out sofa). We have rented on Carpenter Street before, and the location cannot be beat as far as walkability to everything in town and along the waterfront. However, if you are planning to visit over a weekend - specifically Saturday night - bring earplugs to wear at night because things don't shut down at the corner Saloon until around 1am. We knew enough to bring them, but if you are new to staying in town in St Michaels, take note. My only suggestion for the house is a new mattress on the king bed upstairs. It's not very thick and definitely has some significant divots from heavier sleepers.
Other notes about town: If you think you'll need any groceries or bottled water during your stay, bring them from home, or stop in Easton. The small market in town doesn't have many choices. Best meal out: Bistro (worth every penny). 2nd runner up is definitely Foxy's for lunch. Great vibe on the deck, and we loved the fish "taco", tuna steak sandwich, and the Smashburger. Meal we would skip if we did it again: Corah's. Tried both ice cream places, but went back for seconds at JoJos. Best activity: Sail Selina II - Iris was amazing!
