Couples get away

We arrived via our private boat. We were welcomed in a timely manner by the smiling innkeeper, who escorted us from dock to the Pearl. We enjoyed our stay, the house was quaint and just a short walk to the boat. Most of our trip comprised of fishing- we caught nearly all blue fish, and even had a delicious fish meal one night from our catch! The town is small, has a nice little museum and coffee shop. We enjoyed the smith island cake too! Make sure you bring bug spray, your own groceries and alcohol.

Smith Island Trip

The owner and host were Great!! The property was pretty perfect and even nicer than i expected. Getting there was easy from the boat ride to being brought to the property. The Captain of the Jason is right across the street and his wife manages the property. There were 6 of us and from using the bikes, renting a golf cart and walking it was super easy getting around. My brother and I kayaked across to an Island near the inlet with the kayaks on property and it is beautiful there. Looks like great fishing at the right time of year. All the seafood was spot on!!

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!

Unique Vacation

We loved the simple, laid back vacation we had on Smith Island. One of the most unique vacations we have ever had. Everyone is so friendly and we enjoyed getting to know locals and other visitors as well. We plan to return.

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!!

We had a wonderful stay at The Pearl. The house is well appointed, clean, comfy and a great location on the island. Our hosts answered all of our questions and provided lots of helpful information. New TV worked great (with our own Samsung login). Cell service is spotty on the island, but who needs it? Wifi worked fine for streaming movies and shows, too. The trip over on the Captain Jason was seamless and we had all of our belongings dropped off at the house for us. We ordered steamed crabs from Captain Kitching (delicious) and sadly we had to miss our sunset cruise with Capt Pat because of rain (no hard feelings against the Capt at all!). Neighbors are nice. Doggies are nice. Ducks are nice. Go stay at the Pearl to relax and unwind. And eat all the Smith Island Cake.

An amazing adventure!

Wonderful place to stay on Smith Island. For our family of four, the Pearl was plenty of space and very comfortable. We appreciated all the information about Smith Island sent ahead of time, including contacts for tours and coffee. Owner and operations manager were very friendly and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

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)

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.

Great home for a relaxing weekend

We had a great stay on Smith Island and this home was perfect for the three of us and our dogs. We really appreciated coordinating to get fresh steamed crabs delivered to the house one night, and the kitchen was perfect for cooking the other meals that we didn't eat at the two waterfront restaurants. The only thing I'd suggest is providing check-in and check-out instructions for the house with some details like the WiFi password. Otherwise we had a great time!

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.

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.

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.

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.
