Where to Stay and Eat!
If we come down to explore where do you suggest we spend the night?
One suggestion is to find a bed and breakfast through https://www.bedandbreakfast.com/eastern-shore-virginia.html. When you decide what kind of property interests you the most and in what area, I will be happy to recommend a place. Here are a few suggestions. Remember, the Eastern Shore is 70 miles long, and it could take some time to see all the homes and land for sale you want, so plan on spending some time here on the shore.
