Simple Pleasures & Smart Living : Tilghman Island Cottage Retreat
Charming Eastern Shore Cottage with Endless Possibilities
Discover the perfect blend of simplicity and comfort at 5934 Tilghman Island Road, where
thoughtful upgrades meet cozy cottage charm. This delightful 2-bedroom, 1 and one half bathroom home
offers a smartly designed living space that maximizes every corner for comfortable everyday life.
The cottage welcomes you with its fresh, cheerful exterior and inviting screened front
porch—the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Step inside to find a
thoughtfully laid-out interior that makes the most of its compact footprint, with recent upgrades
throughout the past five years enhancing both style and functionality.

The real treasure lies beyond the back door: a surprisingly generous, level yard that offers
endless possibilities. The mature trees provide natural privacy and tranquility, creating your own
secluded canvas for whatever you envision. Picture a crackling fire pit for cozy evenings, a stone
patio for entertaining, or flourishing garden beds filled with your favorite plants. The spacious
deck already sets the stage for summer dinners and weekend grilling, while the expansive lawn
provides a perfect clean slate for the avid gardener or anyone ready to create their own outdoor
sanctuary. It's remarkable how much potential this yard holds.

Located in the heart of Tilghman Island, you will enjoy easy access to the renowned Choptank
River and the pristine waters of the Eastern Chesapeake Bay. Historic Dogwood Harbor with its
boat ramp access puts you just minutes from some of the best fishing, crabbing, and boating on
the Eastern Shore.

This versatile cottage is ready to serve many roles: a peaceful vacation retreat, a profitable
Airbnb investment, a charming retirement hideaway, or simply a refreshing escape from the
hustle and bustle of city life. The smart layout and recent improvements mean you can move
right in and start enjoying the laid-back island lifestyle immediately.

Experience the magic of Tilghman Island living, where time moves a little slower, neighbors
wave hello, and the water is always calling. This cottage isn't just a house—it's your gateway to
the authentic Eastern Shore experience you've been dreaming of.

Come see how good simple living can be.
