The Tides Inn -golf anyone? The Tides Inn in Irvington Virginia is considered one of the Top 100 small hotels in the world featuring fine or casual dining, 3 golf courses, tennis, sandy private beaches, massage, spa and an array of activities to keep you busy... or not. The views from the hillside at Carters Creek will take your breath away at sunset! This trip pulls out all the stops!

Crisfield- Crabs & Beer anyone?  Known to be the seafood capital of the Chesapeake Bay, the small seaside town of Crisfield Maryland is located on the southern most tip of the Eastern Shore before crossing over into Virginia. Beautifully manicured marina with pool, tennis, and walking distance to museums and town make this getaway a quiet and peaceful weekend. (except for Crab Derby weekend, that is a party!!!)

St. Michael's-  History anyone?  Probably the largest "small town" tourist city in Maryland. St. Michael's offers shopping, great food, and plenty of history. Rent a bike or scooter to zip around town, or just sit at one of the outdoor cafe's and wait for the celebrity's to pass. Our guests have encountered several notable names over the years. 

Tilghman Island- Sunsets anyone?  Quiet and peaceful. Personally our favorite for a relaxing low key weekend. 

White Sands- Party anyone?  Not into relaxing but need to let your hair down??? You can do it here! Live bands, beach volleyball, boats coming and going... It's never boring at Vera's! 

Herrington Harbor- Relaxing anyone? Picturesque and pristine relaxation is what you will find here. Sandy beaches for sunbathing or lay out by the pool bar. Either way the tranquility of this stop on out list is always enjoyable. Dinner at the Marina Restaurant has beautiful views of the harbor and bay.
