Deal Island Bay Cottage

Enjoy the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay in a relaxing and peaceful way. The Deal Island Bay Cottage on Maryland's Eastern Shore situated on a large lot where you can unwind from the daily stresses of the beltway life. Watch the sunrise every morning as you eat breakfast from the cozy dining room while a symphony of bird sounds provide the music and entertainment. Dog Friendly cottage.

Activities reported by past guests include crabbing. Locals use a technique known as chicken necking where they tie a chicken neck to a weighted rope. Once the crab starts munching on the chicken, the rope is slowly pulled up and a net is used to get the critter. All supplies for are in the cottage except the chicken.

Other guests have fished, boated and hunted, which is plentiful during the right season. Some say that the Deal Island Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is the mecca of duck hunting in the winter! So, use it as a hunting lodge and bring home the fowl.

At dusk, take a walk to the beach on the other side of the bridge which is only 1 block away and watch the sun set into the bay as if you were sitting in Key West, Florida, but without the crowds. Keep an eye out for the many bird species that the Deal Island

Wildlife Management area is known for. Great Blue Herons, Canada Geese, unique ducks, gulls and more. "This region possesses an extensive variety of environments including barrier islands, coastal bays, tidal wetlands, cypress swamps, upland fields and primeval forests. More bird sightings have been recorded here than in any other region of the state." (Birding Weekend)

If you do feel like driving for other adventures, Ocean City Maryland, Chincoteague, Virginia, Assateague Island National Seashore are all about an hour away. Salisbury and Crisfield, MD less than half an hour. Catch the summer passenger ferry to historic and
unique Smith Island from Crisfield. Smith Island is a community so long isolated from the mainland that the residents are known for still speaking in a form of Elizabethan English dating back to the 1600s. It is a unique place to experience.
The standard bedding arrangement includes a very large master bedroom with a queen bed and master bathroom. The smaller 2nd bedroom has a bunk with a full on the bottom and twin on the top. If you have a larger party, there is a 3rd closed off bedroom available with 2 foldout cots. There is also a queen size air mattress available which can fit in the master bedroom comfortably.
All sheets, pillows, towels, pots, pans, dishes, propane grill and cleaning are included in the price! This cottage has central air conditioning and heat. Come discover Deal Island before everyone else does!

The house has been recently updated with new paint in all rooms, luxury vinyl in bedrooms 1, 2, dining room, kitchen, living room, baths, and laundry room.

This was a perfect spot in the middle of nowhere to relax and just enjoy nature. The beds were very comfortable. Everything you need is there. Just a perfect spot if you need to get away from the big town or city life. Communication between the property manager was very quick and friendly. We would definitely use this location again.

Roomy, great cottage for family w pets!
Interior roomy, clean and well stocked. Location close to fishing and heart od Deal Island. Room for your stuff, your family and dogs. Had priblem with heat at checkin but owner made sure service halpened immediately! Was up and running within 2 hours. Thank you. Only negative was exterior maintenence. Grass and weeds way overgrown, tree debris ... just needed aome attention. In the big scheme this is minor, but would uave enhanced the stay. But, dont be put off, a great place if you enjoy the idea od Deal Island amenities. We would absolutely book again!

Perfect for our day trips.
Great place to come home to after our day trips to Assateague, Chincoteague, Ocean City and much more. The local beach is just down the road and we had it to ourselves every time we went including the only time we had sun which made for gorgeous sunset pics. So glad our dogs were welcome. Even got to take them through the Skipjack Museum a short walk away.

A Real Deal
Place was very nice, in a quiet community (only heard a crowing rooster at some distance.) The inside was completely renovated and very spacious. A plus, master bathroom w/ its own bathroom! Slight hiccup in that the TV crapped out first night. Replacement was ordered but delayed in shipment. However, the cleaning lady loaned us one for the last 4 days, allowing us to watch our shows. Deer bounding about in the backyard. There was a 20 minute drive out to the main road, with no convenience store anywhere nearby. Shop ahead of time before checking in (Food Lion.) Overall, good time. Glad wasn't staying the week when Ophelia hit nearby! Plus, beautiful sunsets on Deal Isl proper, by beach.

Very remote place to unplug.
This stay was so relaxing and gave me so much quiet to unwind. I loved the style and overall atmosphere of the home. The only downsides were particularly how far you are from other towns and food! The other downside for us personally was the water, when you bathe, it may have been well water or directly from the surrounding bodies of water. I would suggest to future guests to bring their own drinking water. Aside from those things, I would certainly recommend this stay for people looking to unplug from city life.

Peaceful Retreat
We stayed at this perfect location for an end of summer get-away. It was clean and well stocked. I do recommend writing down the lock code before you get close, as we lost reception when we neared the property (a minor set back). This house has generous space, as a family of 6, with 2 dogs we were very comfortable. We spent much time on Deal Island, but we did add a day trip to OC and Assateague Island (about 40 miles). My Husband is excited to return to duck hunt and fish!

Great house in the middle of nowhere
Had a great family vacation at this property. Since my mom passed away every year I book a getaway for my dad (75) and sister (31) to just get away and spend quality time together. In the past I've booked Ocean City (my dad said it was too crowded) and the outer banks (my dad said it was too far) but this place was just right. House had been completely upgraded in the time after I booked which was a great surprise. I usually cook all our meals and the kitchen was fully stocked. I only wish there was another trash can or recycling bin outside since we had so much. All rooms were well appointed and the bathrooms were great. A/C worked great too. Take note- when the description says to stop at the food lion prior to getting to the house, do it. Otherwise it's a 20 minute drive to get anything, including gas. There's one general store and restaurant at the end of the island but it's very limited. The beach is across the bridge and is very clean and so relaxing. We even saw multiple sting rays! My dad said that he definitely would want to come back which is high praise for him. Just another suggestion for the owner- remove or replace the rug in the living room- I don't know if it was previous pets or cleaning products but it gave me some allergies so we put it away during our stay. Other than that, I can't recommend this place enough!

Chance was perfect
This is a perfect VRBO property. The house can accommodate just one person - or up to a very large group. Being pet friendly is a huge positive. The house was extremely clean. It is filled with many little extras - TONS of towels, all the kitchen ware needed and then some, a propane grill, fire pit. There is a smart TV and wifi. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.
