“This waterfront property on Tilghman Island strikes me as a place geared toward those seeking relaxed recreation, with its private marina and included kayaks, paddle boards and bikes. I think the location is ideal for families or couples prioritizing outdoor activities over luxurious rooms, though the on-site seafood restaurant, Tickler's Crab Shack, is a draw. Keep in mind that some past guests found the rooms overpriced for the experience.”
