Rock Hall is a quaint seashore town with a thriving fishing and boating community. The harbor is filled with crab and oyster boats which leave early every morning, returning with heaving baskets of shellfish for the town's fresh seafood restaurants. The main town too is lovely, with two large 18th century mansions on the National Register of Historic Places, three museums which discuss the town's local heritage and the maritime industry, and many picturesque board houses. The town is particularly stunning at sunset, when the warm light envelops the town and harbor in an intense glow.

The Cottage: Our smoke-free cottage has been completely redone, with new furniture, double shower/double sink bath and laundry room. A new back deck was recently. Enjoy our new granite counters and kitchen flooring. It is enjoyed by family and friends and since our move to North Carolina, and has welcomed selected guests.

Wonderful cottage in Rock Hall, Maryland!!
I really enjoyed the accommodations at the Oysterman Cottage!! The cottage was immaculate and completely decorated in a nautical theme which is so appropriate since Rock Hall is a small fishing town!! Also, loved the screened porch for reading and enjoying breakfast and dinner!! Thanks again for a wonderful stay in Rock Hall!!

Authentic Rock Hall Beach Cottage In Great Location!
This charming cottage is located in a very convenient spot. Walking distance to the beach, pool, restaurants and Main Street for shopping. The interior had plenty of space for our family of four & our lab. Well stocked kitchen and bath with a grill out back. Our kids are looking forward to a return!

Always a great stay
My friends and I stay here every year because it’s so convenient to the harbor, restaurants and a walk or shuttle to the town. The shuttle service was new this year since it shut down in 2020. I am happy this is back again! The house is always well stocked with items we need. I’d recommend bringing an extra roll of paper towels as we go through quite a bit. There are 6 ladies who stay in this house and we always manage with one bathroom! The back screened in porch is wonderful.

A comfortable, relaxing weekend!
This property was one of the best equipped that we have ever rented; anything we might have needed was included in the kitchen inventory. Beds were very comfortable and linens very adequate. The living room and also the sunporch provide lots of seating. Rock Hall is a charming town for walking around. The only drawback is that the bathroom is off one of the bedrooms, but not a big problem when it's family.

Wonderful cottage and location
This is my second year staying at the house. I go every year to Rock hall MD for a ladies fishing trip. The house is spacious and really has everything we need to stay comfortably. We do wish there was another bathroom or half bath but the bathroom that they have is very large and easy enough to double up while getting washed up or makeup and hair. We spent a lot of time on the back screened in porch. We also love the location because we can walk to the restaurants and the town pool and harbor.

Clean and well set up. Good seating in the living room. Well stocked kitchen. No bowls for cereal or ice cream. Only one bathroom and in the bedroom. The book with cottage information should be updated. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Perfect escape
Wonderfully situated cottage. Just a few yards from marina and about 10-15 minute walk to small beach and 30 minute drive to a larger beach. A few great restaurants within walking distance, including great seafood (Ford’s, Waterman’s, Harbor Shack), pizza (Anchor and Plow) and ice cream. Small grocery store and local food market so didn’t have to drive much. Amazing birdwatching, hikes and kayaking. A terrific place to get away and unplug. The house was very clean and well-stocked. Very nice closed in porch for bug-free outdoor dining.

Lovely, Peaceful Stay in Rock Hall
This is our 2nd time staying at this cottage. Each time the home was clean and well stocked and did have start-up supplies for guests. It is conveniently located and within walking distance to marina, restaurants, bay, etc. We enjoyed sitting and eating on the peaceful, screened-in back porch that overlooks a large tree shaded backyard. The host was also accommodating with a special request we had. It is also a plus that it is pet friendly and there was no evidence that any pets had been there prior to our arrival. So, if you have a pet or not, this is a lovely place to stay. Since we have family in the area, we will continue to stay here during our family visits.

Great Escape from DC
We wanted a change of scene for Thanksgiving this year and this cottage was perfect. The three of us cooked together in the large, well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed reading and watching movies in the comfortable living room. We all slept well and appreciated the spacious, new bathroom. At the end of the day, we were treated to the most spectacular sunsets imaginable, only a short walk from the cottage. Although the weather was unusually warm for Thanksgiving, I wished it were warmer so we could've spent more time on the large screen porch. It's a sweet cottage and I've recommended to a friend already!

This was perfect for our family. Loved the updated bathroom, very spacious, thick towels, good hot water. Beds were comfortable. Large, well-supplied kitchen. Lovely screened porch was a great space for eating and relaxing outside with the dogs. Great location, within walking distance of our 2 favorite restaurants.
