Life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore
It all began with an idea. Why not move to the Eastern Shore? We searched for a property that included land, one that was close to the water and, most importantly, within our budget. Just when we were giving up hope, we stumbled upon our home in Secretary. We count our blessings each day that our search brought us here.
Join us as we continue to renovate and restore our 1800s cottage and make it our home.
