I usually check with several properties and read all the reviews before I book a B & B in an unfamiliar area. I talked with Maureen (one of the owners) and felt so good about the Inn and the island that I did not read reviews nor check for other options. Maureen and Jim are hospitable (and we are from...

Everything on Tangier Island is on the pricey side. Do not expect luxurious accomodations any where on the island. However, the island is composed of salt of the earth folk who are largely patriotic, unashamedly Christian, and friendly. At the Bay View Inn, we stayed in room 6. The window air conditioner was a noisy window unit. I didn't mind... More

Whenever I feel stress building up, I call my friend up to tell her I need my "Tangier Island Anti-stress Pill." The "pill" is a trip to picturesque Tangier Island and to a most welcoming inn, the Bay View Inn on Tangier. My friend and I just came back from our third trip to the Bay View Inn. The hosts... More

The family who owns the property is very friendly and helpful. However, i would ot recommend staying more than one light due to the lack of activities on the island. One issue:The description of the hotel and island I was given by the owner was a bit misleading and exaggerated. The rooms could not be considered to be "cabins" (like... More

Lodging choices on Tangier are limited to B&Bs, so we threw the dice and landed at the Bay View Inn. This is not luxury accommodations, so don't show up expecting it. The rooms are smallish and utilitarian. Some rooms are undergoing renovations which I hope will extend to the entire property. With only one small window, they can be dank.... More

A very comfortable place to stay with friendly hosts; they pick you up at the dock and return you there when you leave (although out lift was delayed so the host kindly drove us). Our room in a cottage was small, but comfortable and nicely cold on a very hot day with a microwave and fridge and DirectTV. Excellent breakfast... More

During summer months ferries run from Reedville, Virginia (10:00 AM daily May to September - reservations recommended), and Crisfield, Maryland (12:30... More

I was planning my vacation about 2 months ago, when my husband out of the blue said "I have always wanted to go to Tangier Island". Thus the hunt was on..... I figured Tangier Island, WOW... and in my mind thought "The Bahama's" only Virginia Island style. So I commenced to search out information and accomodations, to my surprise It... More

My friend and I decided to see Tangier Island after hearing about their British accents, and the first B&B we heard about was Shirley's Bay View Inn. We had a lovely time, with a nice, quiet room, and the friendly staff. Breakfast was very good, although we did have to wait for a little while since the breakfast room was... More
