Pet-Friendly Smith Island Cottage w/ Golf Cart!

From the moment you step off the ferry, you'll fall in love with Smith Island's rich history, car-free streets, and leisurely pace of life. This 'Castaway Cottage' vacation rental is the perfect place to enjoy it all, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a whimsical, Himalayan-salt-pink interior. Walk or bike to island must-sees, like the Smith Island Cultural Center and the secret beach at Martin National Wildlife Refuge, then sink your teeth into one of the famous cakes at Smith Island Bakery.

Get away
Castaway Cottage was as quaint and clean as can be. We absolutely loved it. And it was so much fun using the golf cart. We dined at the restaurant and learned how to make the Smith Island cake. And we were blessed by the camp meeting on Sunday. It was a wonderful stay. And of course Laura was just great.

Perfect cottage for a stay on Smith Island
Can’t recommend this property and the island itself highly enough. Communication was handled well between property managers and owner. Very responsive and helpful. One note is to be prepared for an adventure. Showing up for the passenger ferry and parking logistics all were a bit stressful but ended up not being a problem. Bring small bills in cash to tip the guy who loads the boat in Crisfield. Otherwise it was nice that most places in the island now take card or venmo. Highly recommend getting crabs and shanty tour from Captain Kitching. He delivers at night right to the cottage. Had a great night with the wonderful owner at Jack and Pickles on the Fourth of July. She has great plans for the future of the cottage, so we will definitely be returning! Bugs weren’t too bad at all.

Quaint and Cozy
We really enjoyed our stay @ Bizzy Bungalow. It was very clean and well-stocked. The pink bee decor and the matching kitchen cookware and utensils was adorable. We especially loved the beautiful wine glasses! The teenager girls favorite part was the provided golf cart; we enjoyed riding it to see the sunset every evening. 🙂 Host was very responsive.

A perfect stay on Smith Island
Such a sweet house! The accents of pink everywhere were charming. While there were indications that the house is a work in progress (a couple of wall patches needed for example), it's obvious that the owners adore their home and it shows in many ways. Home was very well equipped. Nothing was overlooked. Plenty of towels & blankets, the kitchen had it all! While I'm sure the contents change depending on who has been there recently, there was more than enough basics like spices & condiments. I appreciate the dedication to a theme & the pink along with the bees everywhere were super fun. Even the cutlery is pink! There was plenty of fridge and cabinet space for our needs. The window AC units did a wonderful job keeping the rooms cool. The bedroom with the twin beds didn't have an AC unit but the two teens that stayed in there had zero complaints so it must have been comfortable. The bed in the primary bedroom was wonderful, very comfortable! While on Smith Island we enjoyed the museum, both restaurants, the bakery & don't miss Jack and Pickles! What a cute little arcade! Our teens loved their time there. A day pass was just $3 & you could play any of the games for as long as you wanted. There were snacks there to buy too. Just a tiny stroll from the arcade, the owners have created a tiny play village for little ones & they even have a vending machine so you can get corn to feed the ducks & chickens. One day we took a boat to Tylerton for lunch. This was a perfect 3 day getaway!

Peaceful Getaway
The house was quaint and cozy but not cramped, had everything I needed plus more. The included golf cart was definitely one of the most value amenities. Host family was very helpful and responded to inquiries immediately. She even reminded me what boat and time to head back to mainland. If you’re looking for a different, non-touristy getaway this home and Smith Island is it!
