Chesapeake Bay Views on island. Rooftop Deck, WiFi, Bikes, Kayaks. Pets Welcome!

So happy we picked this place. We enjoyed the bikes, kayaks, grill, view, picnic table, community beach, rooftop deck. Even sat inside with the doors open and listened to the rain on our last day. The beach was close enough to walk back to the house for lunch or use the bathroom. The house was stocked with bottled waters, toilet paper, and some bathroom items. We would definitely come back!

Gwynn's Island and Mathews County were unknown to me even though I was only an hour away, and now I value this hidden treasure. If you are looking for a place for peace and relaxation, a good view of the bay and nature from an actual island, and quaint simplicity with all of the necessities, you should pick this place. The price was right, as was the view and the amenities that come with the place.

My wife and I had the relaxation we were looking for, and even though the weather wasn't ideal for part of our stay, we could still watch the bay from the house while drinking hot chocolate and cooking a meal in the oven. It is better than a hotel because you literally have a whole house and a full kitchen to cook meals and save money part of the time; or you can eat at some of the cool restaurants in the nearby vicinity. Also, it has two bedrooms with a total of 4 beds which is ideal for a family to share. You can ride the two bikes provided with the cottage around the island, walk to the nearby beach and dock, or have fun with the two kayaks also supplied. The people in the area are some of the nicest I have met. Chilling on the roof level deck during the sunset with a beer/wine isn't half bad either. You can also bring your own bikes etc and store them in the spacious shed. Not to mention a charcoal grill and a firepit if you so desire. The wifi was excellent and, for us, necessary to look up local menus and directions to local establishments without killing our data plan. Cell service was also great even though you feel isolated and the satellite TV was also good if you still want to watch a tv show or movie. Gwynn's island comes with its own Pocahontas legend and history lesson at the local museum, if you enjoy history. To sum it up, this property is all about relaxation and getting away from it all, I hope you enjoy it like we did.

Loved the view! The fireplace and fire pit were easy to use. Enjoyed the bikes, and the kitchen supplies were ample.

Friendly neighbors. Dog friends. Well appointed place. Has everything you could possibly want. Very comfortable.

Visited Rosewell ruins - interesting.....good spot for picnic.

Isolated - bring supplies. Nice beach.

We loved this property. It was so clean and tidy. The owners had everything we needed for a great stay. They even left dog treats for our fur baby. We will definitely be back when we are back in the area.
