 Thanks
Pauli, We had a wonderful stay at your charming B&B.

Captain & Tenille, Enjoy
every time we stay with you. Hopefully can pull of a
great sign for your B&B. I come here for the watery
solitude, the black night sky showing the stars to me as
they were mant to be seen. No rolling semi's 24/7 to
be heard. We'll be back
—Bill Austin, Harthy, DE |

Well, we brough the rain - it

 Dear

place for our mother & daughter reunion... All the
comforts of home without the hassles! The boat tour,
kayaking and breakfast conversations were just a few of the
highlights. Your website beckoned—and our 3 night stay
at the "Sunrise" delivered.
Hope to visit again,

 Dear

us. We got about 10 feet from a heron in a kayak and
had one of the little islands out there all to ourselves for
an afternoon. Truly incredible.
—Jenny
(and David)
This place is beautiful.
We sat on the dock and stargazed last night. Wow!
Also, I couldn't be better fed—crab cakes at Ruke's for
dinner last night, and an amazing breakfast this morning.
Thanks for everything!

me. Bye,

Dear Pauli, Thank you is hardly
enough to say, it has been an honor to
 stay
at the Chesapeake Sunrise B&B and to share July 4th with you
and your family. May the road rise to meet you, may
the winds be always on your back, and until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand! God bless.

Pauli, What a wonderful hostess
you are. Your home is so comfortable and inviting and
warm. You make us feel right at home. It was a
lot more than I expected for my first stay at a B&B.
You are just the opposite of what I expected, and what a
beautiful warm smile you have. You have a wealth of
knowledge about the Island and its residents. Fact or
fiction, some of the stories are fascinating. You
should write a book for your patrons. Best wishes and
thank you for everything.
—Rex
and Shirley Marshall, Cambridge, MD |

Dear Pauli, This certainly was a
nice getaway for all of us. You have been so warm and
welcoming. You have a beautiful B&B. The
furnishings and decor are very interesting and unique.
It's fun to look around at everything. Being on Smith
Island is very relaxing. Away from the hustle and
bustle of life is very nice. I knew you were going to
be a wonderful hostess just by talking to you over the phone
and arranging this vacation! Thanks so much for all
you have done for us, especially talking with my Mom (Jean).
She has thoroughly enjoyed herself. Now we can tell
everyone that Smith Island is a nice place to vacation.
—Barbara Marshall, Cambridge, MD, June 26, 2007 |
|
|
|
Pauli, This is a lovely place to
have a B&B and I am having so much fin with Bart and family.
It was fun feeding the mallards last night and touring the
island in a golf cart. We counted 7 cats. I love
this place and the hostess in my opinion is tops. She
makes you feel at home instantly and that is a skill not
everyone has. I'm going to tell everyone about this
place when I get home.
Many thanks, Pauli,
—Jean
Eyler, June 26, 2007 |

Pauli, Our stay at your B&B has
been most interesting and relaxing. We hope to visit
again in the future to make more memories--not sure when
that will be. Thanks for being a wonderful hostess!

Mike, we enjoyed informative
and engaging conversation. Arranging the bird watching
trip throughout the island was a treasure for us.
Thank you for sharing your interest and expertise in
 birding
with us. You made it possible for us to enlarge our
experience with Eastern Shore culture. We look forward to
seeing the differences between ibis and cranes when we visit
the shore again.
—Gayle and David Sheppard, near Wilmington, DE, June 1,
2007
Thanks Mike for a great time! The trip to the wildlife
preserve with Waverly was a wonderful experience—we've never
been in a place so rich with so many bird species! The
pelican colony was fantastic! We loved hiking and
biking across the marsh to Rhodes Point, and we also loved
the crab cakes!
—Nora and Cliff Johnson, Pittsburgh, PA, June 1, 2007 |
|
|
|
 Mike—
Thank you for everything! We arrived at Smith Island
by chance, as the Southwest wind made it a perfect reach
from Deltaville, VA. The boathouse shower and lounge
was a welcome sight for 2 sailors making our way around the
Delmarva Peninsula. We are headed back to Annapolis
but will be back here soon!

 Discovered
a gem—the Smith Island Experience—Heat, beautiful sunshine,
wildlife, seclusion—a beautiful tour with Captain Waverly,
bike rides, world's best crab cakes. The kids bring up
the bike ride (the 3-wheeler) and the tour all the time.
Our stop on Smith Island was definitely one of our
highlights, a memorable, special experience for us and our
kids. It was a major part of our two week summer trip.
Hope we can return one day. Mike was just awesome—
Thanks for all!

coming back in October!

It was a quiet refuge from the work and family

strongly during this stay. You were such a gracious
hostess. I'll treasure you and this experience
forever.

I have stayed at many B and B's, but yours is my
favorite. It is decorated beautifully, very clean
and so comfortable. You were a wonderful hostess
Pauli, you were there if I needed you and yet allowed me
to do my own thing. Steve, the coffee was out of
this world. I really do think you should consider
changing the name to The Jewel of The Chesapeake because
it certainly is a jewel. Thank you for a wonderful
stay.
Fondly,
—Susan Obletz

"homey" and the other guests were pleasant. This was
our first stay at a B&B. Marc compliments you on your
marina, being very happy that it is well—protected for his
boat, with nice docks. We wish we could have stayed
longer to see more of the sights. Hope we can come
back another time!

Relaxing is the word.
Peaceful, quiet and more than comfortable. Couldn't
ask for a better corner of the world to take some
"downtime". Thanks, Steve, for creating this special
corner. Even enjoyed the flood tides that made us
realize the challenges of living on an island. We look
forward to seeing you again soon.

First time ever for catching a
fish! My husband and I had a great time together.
First time away from the kids! This was a great place
to relax and get to know each other better! People and
dinner were wonderful. Tom's boat ride was especially
nice.

Steve, You are a good guy and a
gracious host and we had an idyllic time here. As with
anything beautiful, it pains me to leave. Hope to see
you again, but if not, please know that I am indebted.

for me! |

Steve, you're the "best".
You made our stay a time we will never forget! The
kayaks were an A+. We enjoyed the channel as we
paddled in and out. Thank you for telling us about
"Tim". We had a great time with him. Al got to
see the bald eagles. They were fascinating as a
peregrin flew right over the baot and we could have almost
touched it. Your inn is beautiful. We had so
much fun with the other guests at the marina and at the inn.
It felt like home. We were able to get away from the
daily stresses of life and enjoy the simple things that give
you so much bliss. We all chipped in and did the
puzzle again. It felt like a family night out!
Thanks again for the pictures. You will not be
forgotten and we will spread the inn's name around to family
and friends.
—Al and Kate Ward |

Quietness... Welcoming people.
A well kept house... A great innkeeper with
knowledgeable and informative friends. Ask about the
antique gun his friend is making! We hope to be back
soon.
