What can you expect while staying at Hoopers Island Bayside Haven?
Beautiful scenery, every wall has windows with a view! Simple, comfortable and cozy surroundings. Enjoy the night sky from our spectacular vantage point. Fresh seafood (crabs, oysters and more in season) within steps of the studio. Opportunities to walk, jog, bike, kayak, canoe, bird watch, try nature photography, collect beach glass and more, just steps from your door. Seafood and Hoopers Island.
We strive for Hoopers Island Bayside Haven to truly be a "get away from it all" location, we do NOT provide internet access nor cable TV. We do have plenty of books, DVDs and local and network TV station coverage. In order to stay connected, you must bring your smart phone or patronize either the Hoopers Island General Store (formerly Island Pride) or Old Salty's to use their internet. This is chance to unplug for a little while, enjoy the scenery, the wildlife and the simplicity. Things to do here?
The sunsets are amazing and you may notice others pulling out their chairs around "sunset" time up and down the bay, as they all admire the wondrous views. We have central AC as well as a ceiling fan, 8 windows w/blinds (2 on each wall) for catching the plentiful breezes and views. We provide indoor/outdoor games, water floats, small crab pots, and a charcoal BBQ grill. How to get here?
Early risers will have a different set of views to enjoy, as the watermen begin bringing back some of their days catch, the water glistens as the sun begins to rise. I love this view while having my cup of tea on the front porch, sitting in one of the rockers. There a beautiful views from every window in The Haven Studio. Even thunderstorms are a sight to behold, and you can do so safely in the screened in porch out front. More photos
