Taylor’s Island Vacation
This is a hidden jewel. We had so much fun fishing and crabbing. The home was everything you could ever ask for. We will definitely be back next year for a longer stay. If you are looking for some peace and quiet, this is the place to be. Thank you to the owners for making this a great place.

We really enjoyed our stay, and our dog was able to get into the water with the ramp that they have built there.

Perfect retreat
This was a great spot to come and visit. The dock gave the ability to crab and fish whenever. The house and view of the water were amazing. The only downfall for us was the amount of jelly fish so we did not get in the water much. We did bring our boat and launched it right down the road. We are out at the local restaurants and the community was welcoming. We drove around and saw the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad and visited Cambridge many times.

Perfect Sunsets!
My husband and I were looking for a place to relax and unwind and this house was the perfect place! Taylor's Watch was everything we were looking for. The house was so pretty and the views from the back windows, sunroom and bedroom were spectacular. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Lots of bath towels that were fluffy and plentiful. Mornings were spent sitting on the dock with coffee watching the sun come up and evenings were spent in the same place with wine watching the gorgeous sunset. A beautiful house in a beautiful location!

Taylor’s Watch
Taylor’s Watch was the perfect getaway for our family. The house is beautiful and the location is very peaceful. We took our boat and dropped it in at the public ramp nearby. We were able to tie on the dock at the property. Our kids enjoyed fishing, kayaking, and canoeing from the dock. The house has lots of little extras. There is a closet full of games, books to read, binoculars, and a telescope. We look forward to returning!
