Island View Waterfront
Tucked along the Chesapeake Bay in Essex, Maryland, Island View is a place to slow down,
spend time together, and enjoy being by the water.
Family-owned since 1968, this property has been a place for people to gather for generations.
Today, Island View brings together waterfront weddings, private celebrations,
kayak rentals, and plenty of ways to enjoy this special place.
