Whether you need to recharge your batteries, explore one of the most remote creeks on the Eastern Shore, or introduce your children to the rural/farm life, you have found the perfect spot in Sunset Point Farm.
Everything you need to enjoy your stay is here: towels, sheets, shampoo, laundry detergent, farm-fresh eggs, beach towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, cooler, etc. I do not provide bug spray or sunscreen as everyone seems to have their preference in this department.
This is the home I grew up in and has been in the family since 1947. Having built next door (don't worry, you will have privacy) I am available to help you have a wonderful stay as your host.

** All reviews on this property prior to 4/20/24 are from a time when I, the owner, lived in NH and my property was managed by a professional property manager. I live "next door" and am happy to provide various concierge services. ***
Four bedroom, 2.5 bath house with living, dining, kitchen, screened porch, and back deck.
Water on two sides of the property - our dock is right outside the front door. Behind the house to the north/right is our forest/marsh area, home to a great horned owl, red-headed woodpeckers, and a few deer. Behind the house are the pastures we are growing to bring beef cattle back to the farm (2025). A five-seven minute walk down the field brings you to our shoreline - a great place to catch red drum, speckled trout, or stripers/rockfish on any incoming tide. There is a beach exposed on any half/low tide which is great for small children.
What can you do on this property? In no particular order:
1) crab/fish from the dock
2) launch your boat (up to 24" ) flat bottom is best for this water, but smaller V hulls work too
3) go birding - my cousin clocked 47 species in 2 hours last July
4) walk down the field to the bit of private beach we have
5) read a book on the back deck
6) have a fire in the backyard
7) kayak (we have two you can use)
8) have crab or clam steam ( we are happy to procure for you)
9) dove hunt (in season + upcharge)
10) collect the eggs (chickens in our nearby barn - roosters are friendly)
11) go to the sandbar - take your boat or I am happy to drop off/pick up using our if I am here (upcharge applies for boat gas)
12) book a fishing trip with our favorite guide Drew Sturgis
Please message me if you have any questions about extra guests, what's possible, etc. We aim to please.
Suggested d
Day 1: arrive, walk the field, settle in, enjoy a drink, and unwind.
Day 2: pack a lunch and go to the sandbar if the weather is good. If it's rainy, the Barrier Island Center shares some of the Shore's history and traditions in a beautiful setting. Follow this by lunch across the street at the Machipongo Coffee Company, or travel 15 minutes south to Cape Charles for lunch and ice cream.
Day 3: Drive an hour north to Assateague Island and enjoy the beach. Rent bikes and tour Chincoteague. Stop by the Island Creamery for delicious ice cream (No matter how long the line is, it's worth the wait!).
Day 4: Book a fishing trip with the best guide on the Eastern Shore, Drew Sturgis. Young and old appreciate catching a fish! End the day with a clam steam (we can pick up for you if you give me 48-hour notice).
Day 5: Book a trail ride at Phiefer Stables in Machipongo (20-minute distance from here)
Day 6: Back to the standard for more of the most beautiful places around here. Take a nap... cook in.
Day 7: Everyone does best with a good breakfast. Eat some farm-fresh eggs before you leave!
