Do you have bad knees? Are you a little older and not as nimble as you once were. Well, check out our recently added Yakport boarding device. This makes getting in and out of kayaks very easy and safe. See our photos and check out Yakport on YouTube. Now nearly anyone can get out on the water. Note: The Yakport and kayaks are not available in the off season due to the danger of falling in the cold water and the hypothermia risk.

Other things to note -
Neavitt is a very special place. Our cottage sits in a magical spot overlooking the tranquil waters of Duck Cove and Balls Creek. The estuary contains many species of native birds. Watch the morning sunrises. If you are lucky, you may see a beautiful moonrise over the water on some evenings.

This is the perfect place to sit by the water and enjoy the wildlife. Enjoy a fire in the stone firepit at the water's edge.

For a bit more adventure you can kayak, paddle board, or canoe from our floating dock on Duck Cove heading out onto Balls Creek. These back creeks are some of the same places where watermen have worked the waters of the Chesapeake for generations. There are four kayaks, two stand up paddle boards and a canoe available your enjoyment.

We have four guest bikes and suggest a short bicycle ride to Neavitt boat landing. Check out the Osprey nest there. It's on the navigational marker.

As nice as our property and the Neavitt peninsula is, you'll want take time for a short drive of around ten minutes to St. Michaels. There you will enjoy the towns many charms. Don’t miss the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Plan at least half a day at the museum. There you will learn much about the history of the Chesapeake. Enjoy the first-class shopping and dining in town. There are many fine dining options. We are happy to help with recommendations and will message you with these and more information before your arrival.

Be sure to check St. Michales and the Maritime Museum websites for the many festivals, events, boat shows, and car shows that our area has to offer.

If you are planning a visit during the Fourth of July holiday, you will find many of the surrounding towns have fireworks displays. We recommend going to the Maritime Museum. Also note on the fourth of July weekend, It is open in the evening to allow folks to watch the fireworks. Check for dates on their website. The museum's Navy Point is an ideal location to view the show. The fireworks are set off from a barge on the water right in front of Navy Point. Over this holiday weekend you'll have other options as nearby towns also have fireworks displays on staggered nights, such as Oxford, Tilghman Island, Kent Narrows and others.

Another adventure not to be missed is an intriguing drive though some of Maryland’s beautiful Eastern shore to Tilghman Island. Taking about a half hour, you’ll pass farms and country estates on your way. Once on Tilghman, and just a bit past the draw bridge, be sure to eat at our favorite breakfast place called Two If by Sea. We love this special place that will have you feeling like you’ve dropped back to a time now long forgot. It’s staffed by friendly folks that will have you coming back. It is totally charming. Chef Henry’s cooking is amazing. Try the crabby eggs benedict. Be patient, they are often busy, but the food is worth the wait.
