Pet-Friendly Smith Island Cottage w/ Golf Cart!

The Castaway house was a wonderful spot for our family of 4. The house was so comfortable and it was fantastic to have access to the golf cart to tour the island!! The island was very welcoming. One highlight was a boat tour with Capt. Mark Kitching (410)603-1227. He took us through the marshes and outer islands, pointing out lots of birds (we saw Pelicans!!). Bring your own food if you want to cook- restaurants close early and groceries are limited. Cash or check for the boat over. It was peak horsefly season which was the only down-side and not the hosts fault!

My husband and I visited Smith Island for the first time for a two night stay. The house is clean and adorable and the owner goes out of her way to ensure you have a wonderful stay. A golf cart is all charged up for you to enjoy trips around the island. Bicycles are provided for you to ride too. Coffee Keurig cups, filtered water in the frig, and even bug spray are provided in case you forgot to bring yours. From arriving on the ferry to our trip back to Crisfield we encountered friendly people. We had to have the crab cakes and famous Smith Island Cake of course! The sunsets were beautiful. This trip was a perfect getaway. We plan to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay on Smith island in this adorable cottage. Laura the host was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Being first timers to the island, I had several questions that were answered very quickly. The cottage was clean, well stocked (which is important for this type of unique experience) and decorated very cute. The local people were very friendly and we enjoyed the scenery of the island. We will definitely be back!

My sister and I have always wanted to visit Smith Island. This house was perfect! Well appointed, comfortable, great location and terrific host. The golf cart was such a huge bonus. We had amazing water tours, walked, relaxed, spotted more birds than we could count. Everyone on the island was beyond friendly. Just had a wonderful time which was amplified by the great accommodations!

The cottage was very homey, pretty and clean. The furnishings and color scheme have the cottage a wam feel. What was a particularly nice touch was the cute doggie towel on the bench by the front door and doggie bags for clean up. The dog towel came in handy since my dear darling rolled on a rotten duck egg. The host was very friendly and accessible if needed. Will definitely stay there again.

Enjoyed Smith Island , great place to stay, friendly people, loved the golf cart a real plus! Flies and mosquitoes were terrible, restaurant food was just OK! Make sure you get food and supplies before coming!

From I moment I walked in the rental I was pleasantly surprised how spacious, clean and comfortable it was. It had a great color scheme that worked well together. I felt right at home with all the amenities.

Relaxing, comfortable, interesting, good food, nice people. No beaches, no bars, no McDonald. I needed to unplug, this is the place to do that.

Calm island living. No beach, no booze, nice kind people. Good food. Lazy relaxed atmosphere.

Smith Island was on our bucket list of visits, and for spring break we finally went. Castaway Cottage is great!!!! It is the perfect place to stay, and Smith Island is a great way to get away from work and school and the buzz of life on the mainland, which was our whole point of the trip. We totally recommend this house, it is adorable, it has everything you need, and we took our dog and it is SOOOO pet friendly! Oh my gosh, we didn't want to leave! We are absolutely planning a summer trip and staying at Castaway Cottage. Book Island Belle ferry, the Captain is the best and he is FAST, he gets you there and back way faster than the other ferry and he is awesome! Totally recommend!

The island is a beautiful and peaceful. Everyone there is so friendly and helpful. The cottage was a very clean and comfortable place to stay. We had 3 adults and 2 huskies and the home was very spacious. It is close to the docks, restaurant, and grocery store. We enjoyed our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway this is the place to go!
