À propos de cet hébergement

Historic home on Smith Island w/ dock!

The Pearl on Smith Island is a completely restored Eastern Shore farmhouse with the classic pitched roof. Built in 1900, the main level features a large railhead shower, a queen size bedroom, living room, dining room, and a well stocked comfortable kitchen that is open to the living room and dining room so guests can visit while making coffee or meals. The upstairs features a twin room with two twin beds and a large queen bedroom that overlooks the magnolia tree in the front yard. A half bath completes the upstairs. It’s a perfect place to kick back after a day on the water!

The dock is a short 4 minute walk from the house; fish, crab, and even moor your boat there! Some of the best fishing on the East Coast is around the Island-rockfish, speckled trout, cobia, redfish, croaker, and flounder. There are 3 kayaks for you to launch and explore the well documented kayak trails.

Accessible only by ferry, Smith Island is a unique experience; research Smith Island's rich history and historic culture on Wikipedia and YouTube, and then experience it for yourself! You will not get better softshell crabs or crab cakes anywhere! Rent a golf cart and drive through marshland to Rhodes Point and take a water taxi to Tylerton.

If you're not bringing your boat, we can help arrange a boat tour of the Smith Island archipelago and view pelican rookeries, the Martin Natural Preserve, and the many guts (creeks), which leads some to call it the Venice of the Chesapeake (with crab shanties instead of Italian Palazzos!).

Park your car in Crisfield, Maryland and take a relaxing 40 minute ferry to Smith Island, and the crew will get you and your things to the Pearl!

NOTE: Please let us know when booking if you are bringing your own boat for The Pearl Dock.

Beautiful property on Smith Island

The Pearl was a great property for us to enjoy an extended stay on Smith Island. We enjoyed the use of their bikes and kayak. Short walk from their dock and super helpful friends from the Capt Jason II to help us get to/from with our gear. We’re looking forward to coming back and sharing this place with some additional family soon!

Another wonderful getaway

This is our second time staying at the pearl and the air conditioning and screened in porch/deck improvements made the stay even more enjoyable than the first time. The house was clean, well kept and well stocked. Beds were soft and comfortable. Fishing was great. We will be back again for sure.

A fantastic experience

We came by boat from Annapolis, and what a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the ”mainland!” The house is fantastic, the island is an amazing way to experience the way the Bay “once was”, and Chris and Leigh are phenomenal hosts. Will definitely be back! Side note - come by boat if you can!!

Smith Island Getaway

This was a perfect spot for out three-generation getaway. Property was a perfect fit for us and the new deck with screened-in porch is a great addition to this property. Well stocked kitchen made meal prep a breeze, and the gas grill came in very handy. Comfy furniture and a great dining room table perfect to game night.

Relax and enjoy

We had a wonderful, cozy stay at The Pearl on Smith Island! Our host shared everything we needed to know to get there and back without stress. The innkeeper was very nice and helpful too. We went kayaking and metal detecting on a nearby beach. We cruised the island on a golf cart. We ate lots of crab cakes, steamed crabs and Smith Island cake! If you are looking for a low-key, minimalist getaway- this is the perfect overnight! (Bring bug spray)

Wonderful island get away!!

During our stay at The Pearl, we encountered our own boat issues, but the hosts were extremely helpful. Their communication was above and beyond!! The people on the island were also extremely helpful, and they went out of their way to help in any way they could. They all truly wanted us to have a great experience on Smith Island. The Pearl had everything we needed for our stay, and there was plenty of room for us. We took our pet Corgi and she felt right at home and loved the big yard! We CANNOT wait to go back!

Peace and Plenty of Fish

Clean, cozy, well stocked. Nice kitchen and dining room for home cooked meals since there aren't too many breakfast and dinner dining options on the island. Locals were nice including Mark who got us bait. We caught plenty of fish and cooked them too. Wi Fi worked well. Bedrooms and baths were clean and cozy. Owners were responsive to all my questions. Will definitely be back.

Hot August Weekend

It’s what we expected. Nothing outstanding, but everything was fine. Could be cleaner, could be more updated...but was acceptable and as expected for the price. Bring plenty of bug spray. If you’re looking for quiet, solo time away from the rat race...this is your place. The restaurants on the island can be fickle, but as expected for a small island community. We explored and kayaked and my kids will remember it.

Labor Day Layover

This was one of the most relaxing stays the family has ever had. Who can argue with Smith Island Cake from the bakery for breakfast!! The house was a great little hideaway to celebrate a 14th birthday and a 23rd anniversary. Having easy access to a boat dock allowed us to bring our own boat and so the freedom to fish the waters surrounding Smith Island, an afternoon trip to Tylerton for the absolute delicious crab cakes and a chat with Duke, a day trip to Crisfield for the annual boat docking competition, and sunset cruises and amazing stargazing. The highlight and “most awesome thing ever” said the 14 year old, was a personal Smith Island Cake making class with Donna and Phil. Our biggest tip is Bring your bug spray and if you use the dock, your deck boots — extreme tides cover the lane from the dock to the main road.

Smith Island Anniversary Getaway

Our first visit to Smith Island was pleasant and relaxing. The Pearl was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed from a well stocked kitchen and bathrooms (bring your own toiletries) to bicycles and kayaks and window AC units. The sunsets were amazing and the lightning and thunderstorm was beautiful. We kayaked to Goat island and spotted pelicans, ospreys, cranes, turtles, crabs, numerous other birds and of course, goats. Meeting the kind and generous locals and other guests made the trip extra special. We did not get a chance to eat at The Bayside Inn as it was closed Monday and Tuesday or Tylerton, or to take the pelican tour, but we’ll make it a priority next visit. Thank you, Kim, for preparing such a delicious dinner for us! P.S. Bug spray is essential.

Very Quiet Get-Away

The house is an interesting mix of new and old. The teens were able to connect their devices to the TV and watch Disney+, but in the evenings the internet can severely slow down (never was able to finish Cruella). Bedrooms were comfy, with window units, though the sheets were worn-out and need to be tossed. House needs a deep clean, there were cobwebs in corners and don't even look under the beds or sofa! Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, seasonings, oil, tea, and some condiments. We rode both bikes all over the island, and took out two of the kayaks. Be prepared to haul the kayaks down to the water and check the tides. Low tide means the water is shin deep for a decent distance from shore. The fishing kayak was missing a seat and paddle, so we couldn't take it out. Overall a good visit.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Leigh and Chris Harte

Image de profil de l’hôte
The Harte's have lived around the world, and for the last 10 years, settled in the Washington DC area. Chris Harte and his Dad fell in love with Smith Island 10 years ago when traveling there on their boat, and recently bought the Pearl with dock as a base for enjoying boating, fishing, kayaking, crabbing, and other watersports of the Chesapeake Bay.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

*So Close, Yet a World Away!*

Take the scenic 3 hour drive over the Bay Bridge from DC, or down the Eastern Shore from Philly/NJ/NYC, and come to a different world. As soon as you get on the ferry to Smith Island, your adventure begins. (detailed ferry instructions will be sent when you book, or inquire)

Smith Island is the last and only populated island in Maryland with no bridge access. Settled in 1670 by English settlers, the descendants still reside there and work the Chesapeake Bay as watermen.

Sometimes called the Venice of the Chesapeake, Smith Island is actually an archipelago, with 3 towns, capped by the Martin Nature Preserve to the north.

The Preserve has multiple pelican rookeries, and even a snow egret rookery. You can tour through the guts (creeks) and see preserved Chesapeake marshland.

We also challenge you to find a better crab cake, softshell crab, or oyster than what's served on the Island!

Enjoy the Island's unique combination of history (Native American relics are even found on the Island), Chesapeake nature, watersports (fishing, crabbing, kayaking, boating), and relaxing atmosphere.



Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

*Top 5 Reasons To Stay on Smith Island*

1. Visit Maryland's last inhabited remote island, with a culture going back 400 years, with a waterman's way of life that is fast disappearing elsewhere
2. Fishing and crabbing: it is centrally located in the Bay to access Tangier Sound, the Middle and Lower Chesapeake Bay, and shallow water fishing in the Smith Island archipelago, within minutes See if you can score the Smith Island Grand Slam during you visit: Rockfish, Bluefish or Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Cobia, and Speckled Trout. As a local Smith Islander said to us once, "you start your fishing trip already in the middle of the Bay".
3. Kayak the well marked water trails, and get Zen with the Island's nature
4. Enjoy local seafood at the restaurants, including the best crab dishes you’ll ever try, add a slice of the famous Smith Island cake
5. Relax at the Pearl and enjoy it’s nature, it’s Waterman culture, and 400 year history

*For Anglers*

We encourage you to think about Smith Island as your fish camp. Take your own boat to the Island and be in the middle of the action. You can fish deep water in the Bay and the Sound, or fish the flats and shallows of the Smith Island archipelago. At the right time of the year, you can catch up to 10 species of game fish! Try you skill and see if you can achieve the Smith Island Slam (Rockfish, Bluefish, Redfish) or a Grand Slam (Rockfish, Bluefish, Redfish, Cobia, and Speckled Trout). Then, come back to the Island, enjoy a crab dinner or just cook what you caught.

Don’t have a boat or easy access to take yours there? No problem, book with one of the professional local guides who will pick you up at the main dock and take you on your fishing journey.

Have your own boat with sleeping quarters? Book the Peal Dock and overnight there.

Staying on Smith Island will provide an experience of a lifetime.
