The Waterman’s Hideaway is within five minutes walking to all of the island’s restaurants, gift shop’s and boat docks, where guests can watch the commercial crabbers as they leave and return home with their daily catch.
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house and property except for a shed in the back yard.
Other things to note
First of all… before you book any stay on Tangier Island, you should check departure and arrival times as well as availability of the ferries to and from our island… All ferries to and fromTangier are walk-on only (no vehicles) and may be limited to one round-trip per day.
As Tangier is in the middle of Chesapeake Bay and about 75% marshland, flying insects during the summer months can be pretty annoying and sometimes even overwhelming... so during your warmer weather visit please bring insect repellent, or you can find it at Island Treasures Gift Shop right here on the island.
