Smith Island’s new B&B for 2008 is located on Ewell,
Smith Island, Maryland  in the heart of the Chesapeake Bay.

The owner and hostess, Susan was born and raised on Smith Island and is a thirteenth generation Smith Islander.  Most of her family still lives on the island. She has lived and worked on the island most of her life doing various things from babysitting as a teenager to waiting on tables and helping in and manament of a Smith Island  restaurant.

" I have worked in Human Resources at the local hospital in Crisfield of the past six years traveling by boat everyday to the mainland, so I could say I love meeting and greeting people everyday."

 " I bought the home when I was 19 years old.  In the  winter of 2007,  I decide to do some renovations to the bungalow style home built in 1949 and created a B & B."

And that she has done! Each room has a wonderful view of the water overlooking the harbor coming into Ewell. There are two rooms available with a shared bath. A cozy living room, dining room and a big screened  porch that overlooks the water completes the B&B.

Island Time

Take your watches off, turn your cell phone off ,because time has no meaning when you are on  " island time".  If you love the outdoors then you are going to love passing your time away on the island! There is plenty to do and see:

  •  Take a walk around the town of Ewell and Rhodes Point (appros 5 miles total) - bring your walking shoes!!  Along your walk you may find over 300 species of beautiful birds, during the months of August and September butterflies migrate along our island.

  •  Kayaking is perfect around Smith Island .....Bring your own Kayak (a modest $5.00 portage fee on the ferry). There are newly marked kayak trails with a map available for $3.00 (proceeds go towards the upkeep of the trails).

  • Biking!!  Bikes are available for guests or bring your own ($5.00 portage fee on the ferry).  

  • Shopping - our local gift shop and museum do handle credit cards, but it is very wise to bring cash or your checkbook....with no shopping malls and just a couple of shops, ladies leave your purses behind!

 


For additional cost

How about a sunset picnic on the beach this can be arranged.  If you would like to take a ride over to the other island of Tylerton this can be arranged also.  A private tour guide can show you many points of interest.  How about spend a day out on a waterman’s boat and get to see what a waterman’s life is about.  Would you like to go find treasures of the Chesapeake around the island by boat just bring your boots.

We also have a few different package plans to offer for more information just ask.  Smith Island does not sell any alcohol. Should you like alcoholic beverages you are more than welcome to bring your own.  We do have a small grocery store that carries snacks, sodas and makes sandwiches. 
Sorry no pets are allowed, also I do not allow smoking in the house.
