Book a Ophelia Cottage

"All around very clean, quiet and enjoyable place to stay."

"A beautiful little cottage with a beautiful beach front access and plenty of amenities."

"What a wonderful place to enjoy a peaceful, beautiful Mother's Day weekend with my lovely bride. We took long walks, enjoyed the local scene and just spent lots of time enjoying the porches. The cottage supports all of this perfectly. We couldn't ask for more and can't wait until our next opportunity to stay at the Key Cottage!"

"This was a great place for a December get-away. The location was lovely, and well stocked, with a full kitchen for those who like to cook, herbs, spices, condiments, cleaning supplies, fluffy bathrobes, q-tips, laundry detergent, etc. We needed to communicate wtih the owners a few times, and they were a pleasure to talk to. We decided to spend a little more on our get-away, and it was totally worth it. "

"We take our dog away yearly to a location with water where she can swim. We have stayed at many vrbo and house rental locations. This was by far my favorite. The house is a hidden gem and a very special place. Not only did our dog love swimming daily but we also enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, quiet surroundings, and beautiful beach front steps from the door. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a peaceful stay and a place to recharge hope we make our way back one day!"

"Took my grandson for a weekend trip to Smith Island to celebrate his HS graduation. My daughter, also, accompanied us, since I am a 90 year old "Grammy", and need some assistance. Our cottage was clean, comfortable and had all of our needs. The host, Kim, was extremely attentive, and made our dinner the night we arrived so we could just relax. I would highly recommend Idle Hour as the place to stay on Smith Island. Pat Reynolds, Ellicott City, MD"

"Beautiful location in a great setting to spend time with family. So appreciated that the house was pet friendly and the neighbors were so nice."

"Stayed with two other families for the State Swim Championships. Property is spacious, clean and well appointed. Even the kitchen knives were sharp!"
